Recipes
I'm a creative cook I often don't use exact measurements but most of these recipes are hard to mess up just go with your taste buds and heart!!
Meals
Sticky Lemon Tofu
- Cube up 300g firm tofu and splash with Tamari or soy sauce
- Stir to make sure all cubes get coated
- Add a sprinkle of arrowroot or cornstarch and gentle toss to make sure all cubes get coated
- Heat up some oil in a pan
- Cook the tofu until crispy
- Set tofu aside
- Add a little more oil and cook 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic and 1 teaspoon of crushed ginger in the same pan
- Add 1 teaspoon of stock powder ((vegetable or chicken)), 3/4 cup lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of finely grated lemon rind and 3 tablespoons of honey and stir until it reduces and gets sticky
- Add tofu back to the pan and toss around till each piece is covered and heated through again
- Serve with rice, greens of choice and spring onions
- You could use Chicken instead of Tofu
Vegetarian Lasagne
- Chop up whatever veg you have ((I used onion carrot and spinach))
- Cook up in a pan with some garlic
- Add fresh chopped tomatoes, a tin of tomatoes, some tomato paste and a splash of red wine if you have it on hand
- Cook till tender
- Add some soaked and rinsed red lentils
- Cook for about 20 minutes
- Layer this mix in a ovenproof dish with lasagne sheets and sliced eggplant
- Top with bechamel and cheese
- Cover and cook in oven for an hour
Sides
Quinoa salad
- Cooked Quinoa ((rinse it before cooking and cook with some stock or miso))
- Add whatever crispy salad items you have on hand like -
- Edamame
- Capsicum
- Red Cabbage
- Carrot
- Snow peas
- Dressing = stir together garlic + ginger + lime juice + tamari + rice malt syrup + peanut butter
- Adding a protein makes it a meal, I normally add soem cooked Tofu
Lemon Potatoes
- Mix 1 cup of chicken or veggie stock ((and/or bone broth if you have it)) with a about 1/2 cup of lemon juice and some salt and a very good slurp of olive oil
- Put cut up potatoes on a tray
- Pour liquid mixture on top
- Add some oregano
- Mix up so it is even
- Put in oven cook for 20 minutes
- Mix up again
- Put back in oven for 25 minutes
- If any liquid left now put potatoes on another tray and cook till crispy
Treats
Chocolate Nut Bars
- Mix up your favourite bliss ball recipe, I use Almonds + Dates + Cacao
- Instead of rolling the bliss balls flatten them into a tray
- Cool in the fridge
- Cut them into bars
- Dip them into melted Chocolate
- While the Chocolate is still wet add some salt and crumbled nuts on top
Raspberry Tart
- Once again use your favourite Bliss ball recipe and press it into a tart pan
- Let it set in the fridge
- Melt 2 blocks of chocolate ((I use Raspberry Lindt)) with 1 small can of coconut cream ((the more cream the more soggy the tart filling will be))
- Pour it into the tart case
- Add rasberries
- Let it set in the fridge
