Vegan is about adding more to our plate🌶
These super simple Vegan Eggplant Meatballs recipe is the perfect example of how simple it is to achieve the meaty-like texture. Although the main goal here is not to make fake-meat, it is impressive how easy and fuss-free we can have all the textures and flavours we like. And well, who doesn’t want a recipe […]
Pasta with Chickpeas (pasta e ceci) is such an easy dish to find at the Italian family weeknight table, and this Vegan Turmeric Pasta with Chickpeas is my easiest and yet more inspired version. We have the tanginess of the olives, smoke from the tofu, a little bitterness from the leaves and all the hearty […]
This is the easiest and yet most flavorful Oven-Baked Mashed Potatoes recipe I have tried. Is one of those recipes that show that sometimes it is really all in the details. The combination of cinnamon and nutmeg and potato with cabbage couldn’t be more simple. And the steps to make this vegan dish are seriously […]
This super versatile Chickpeas and Eggplant in Hot Tomato Sauce can be an easy side dish for vegans and omnivores alike. Although I give you the amount for each ingredient I usually use (based in 1 can of cooked chickpeas) you can make it saucier and warmer for a winter main, add maybe some more […]
This Eggplant Pesto is full of flavour but the eggplant taste becomes so delicate that even people that are not big fans of the vegetable will like it. You only need simple ingredients and it is super easy to prepare. The consistency is really nice and you will end up eating as a dip too, […]
A non-traditional pesto recipe approved by Italians, this Carrot Pesto is a crazy easy and healthy pasta sauce you won’t regret trying. Jokes aside, Italians are very traditional when it comes to food so they are a bit reluctant to call something pesto (other than the Genovese original recipe). Call it pasta sauce or carrot […]
This recipe for Chickpea Cutlets is the most impressive recipe I’ve found so far here in Italy. The cuisine here is very traditional so there aren’t as many recipes as I expected with alternative flours. But chickpea flour seems a solid second place with many regions having traditional (Sicilian Panelle, to name one) dishes using […]
This Fennel Pasta Sauce just might replace the cauliflower in your life. Or kitchen. No, I’m not making a fennel rice or pizza crust, not yet anyway. As I am in Italy it seems appropriate to start with the pasta. But you might find a new veggie-only super creamy pasta sauce. Vegan, gluten-free, extra healthy. […]
These Chickpea Balls have an excellent texture, I mean, they are the kind you can deep in some succulent sauce and they will hold on. They are also super easy to season. You can just play with some dried herbs and make it garlic flavour, super spicy, italian, indian and so on. And you have […]
This Roasted Cabbage is that oven baked recipe when you want to just chop everything and be done with it. And the result is delicious and makes for a great filling or side dish. Not only… this cabbage recipe have been my main course vegan dinner in more than one occasion. With some smoked tofu […]
