Healthy Vegan - March #EatYoursGreens Round Up

April has crept up on me so quickly.  March was really busy for me for some reason its come and gone.  Gosh time does fly when your busy. 
We have  6 gorgeous green recipes  to share for #EatYourGreens. 
The first Eat Your Greens recipe comes from Gluten Free Alchemist.  Kate brought to the table an Iron Rich Spinach and Parsley Green Houmous.  This gorgeous  green houmous is super simple if you have all the ingredients to hand and is very very versatile - try it spread on crispy bread or simply dip in.
The second recipe comes from VNutrition, Mary Ellen shares with us her vegan version of a classic Irish dish - Colcannon.  This velvety soup is made with potatoes and kale, perfect for St Patrick's Day or any other time of the year.  And guess what the natural creaminess comes from cashew nuts!
Laura from Touch Wood joins us with her hearty and nutritious bowl of Leek Potato and Spinach Soup.  Wow, don't you want to tuck in.  I also love how Laura has garnished her soup with avocado slices, yogurt, oil and flax seeds.
From Lisa's Kitchen we have a Spicy Brown Lentil Soup with Broccoli. This is a nourishing and warming bowl.  I do love how the broccoli is strewn over the pebbly lentils in little pieces giving this Lentil soup additional vegetable goodness.
The Veg Hog my lovely co-host was inspired by a recipe in Mat Follas cookbook Vegetable Perfection.  She shared with us a vegetarian Green Gnocchi made with Kale.  Kale is my favourite green and these gnocchi bite delight with colour and flavour covered in a crispy sage butter sauce, as well as an additional tomato garlic sauce and a baked cheese twirl.
And finally, my own contribution which was a  Black Kale and Chickpea Pot Pies.  I had a busy March like I said earlier and was really worried whether I would participate in my own challenge, but did manage it Thank goodness.  

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to #EatYourGreens, please do take time to visit and comment on every contributors recipe if you can, I know it will be appreciated.   The #EatYourGreens challenge in April will be hosted by my blogging co-host The Veg Hog,  Follow this link on how to participate.

Healthy Vegan - Grilled Cauliflower Steaks with Sriracha and Sweet Potato Wedges

Image
Brighton Eats blog post here .    Back home in Wales, we have seen a rise in  the number of fantastic independent vegetarian eateries, especailly in the last five years.  The majority of these are crammed in the city of Cardiff, the capital of Wales including its first 100% vegan cafe.  You will also find some vegetarian and vegan eateries in other parts of Wales, such as   Hunky Dory's in Newport   (now closed, but left a legacy by influencing non-vegetarian eateries to put slightly more interesting vegan and vegetarian options on their menu).   What all these places have in common is that they all serve down to earth, honest food - the kind of food I make at home.  However, there is not yet a 100% vegetarian or vegan restaurant with the Accolade of vegetarian fine dining  - haute cuisne - a gap that no doubt will be filled in the next few years, especially as there are a handful of excellent vegan and vegetarian supper clubs...

Healthy Vegan - Seitan Roast with Stuffing

Image
Here is my first ever attempt at Seitan Roast with Stuffing.     A celebratory Seitan Roast with Stuffing to be served with all the vegetables you find at Sunday Roast Dinner.  Talking of celebrations, let me wish all my readers  A Happy New Year - 2018.    I must confess, I am so glad to see the back of 2017 and am genuinely excited at 2018. 2018 will be a year of change for me and a year of new beginnings, but more about that later.  I have been playing around a lot with seitan recently and have been pleased with the results. This Seitan Roast was enjoyable, but it was not perfect.  If you look closer the  vegan filling made from onion, breadcrumbs  and rosemary get a bit lost. This Seitan Roast with Stuffing was enough for 8 - 10 servings.   I will be making this Seitan Roast with Stuffing again and next time, I will add some green and red to the stuffing so that it is more standoutish.  Also I will upg...
