The vegged up 'Here's what I had for dinner last night' thread

Veggie meatloaf (beans, nuts, courgette, carrot, mushrooms) sweet potato mash and courgette with garlic. Nom (:

Made a vegetable korma with sweet potatoes, cauliflower, peas and green beans.

I was very pleased with it, it turned out very yummy indeed.
Actually the first time I'm really happy with a korma - I'm fine making jalfrezis, dahls, matter paneer and Bombay aloos, but kormas have so far never been up to scratch.

any tips on making a good korma Shenshen, mine likewise have not been up to scratch

Well, mine always went wrong with the spicing - they either were spiced too much, or didn't taste of anything much.

Yesterday, I fried half an onion, a 3cm bit of cinnamon, 8 cardamom pods, a tsp of mustard seeds and 2 small bay leaves in some oil until the onion was soft, then added 1 tsp of ground cardamom, 1 tsp of cumin, half a tsp of curry powder, 2 grated cloves of garlic and same amount grated ginger. Let it cook a little longer on low heat, then I added my vegetables, some water and a tin of coconut milk and let it simmer until the veg were done.
Then I added about 1 tsp of tomato puree, 1 tsp of garam masala, salt and somewhere around 50 to 100g of ground almonds.

And it turned out quite nice, really.

Even though it was so hot today, I felt like a roast. Had a lot of veg to use up.

Parboiled and gently roasted potatoes with rosemary.
Roasted carrots with mustard.
Roasted courgette with lemon and garlic.
Light white sauce with broccoli, onion, peas and tomato.



Finished off with the superb raspberry blondies from the cooking club.

every time I look at this thread I get starving and drool

I had a mad craving for pancakes last night. These are just buckwheat flour, pinch of cinnamon, pinch of sugar, tsp baking powder and soya milk. Lemon, sugar and agave syrup on top because I couldn't decide.....

roast veg lasagne with 'moxarella' on top

Tomato soup! I put some 'alpro rice cuisine' in it to make it a bit creamy, think it improved the colour as well. This one definitely has no meatballs

Thanks Feu I tried to make it look fancy heh


Made this yesterday.....

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Pie








Made it at 2am last night, left it in freezer to set a bit too much, left it out to melt a bit too melty then, it was nice melty though, it'll set again anyway

I don't really know who's going to eat it all now :pac:


oh I saw this good tip for separating the coconut fat from the coconut water. Leaving the can in the fridge over night never really worked for me, dunno if the fridge just wasnt up high enough maybe. But if you freeze it instead, it's a lot easier, see here........ http://www.thefitnessdish.com/?p=9293

I made the moxerella on Saturday for the first time. It was very easy and was yummy on my pizza. Sorry no pics, was too hungry to get something to take a pic with!

Thanks for the heads up on a good mozz sub!

Roasted tomato pesto pasta and black beans

Makes your kitchen smell so nice roasting tomatoes ^_^

Don't have a pic because myp hne died but went to Vina Mara with my parents for graduation and had a tomato and red lentil soup, mixed bean casserole with sweet potato chips and a frozen pina colada for dessert. Was all really really good, will definitely go back. Managed to coax my parents into trying the casserole and my dad, surprisingly, really liked it and said he'd definitely eat something like that. He also nicked some chips as well. :P

Mmmm, looks delicious. I'm always looking for interesting veggies to put in sushi. I'm so unimaginative.

Forgot to take pics but last night we had jalapeno and corn chowder made with coconut milk and sweet potato fries. Delicious, only the fries were a little too sweet.

Tonight is Sova Veg Butcher and I am gonna destroy a delicious kebab

nutritional yeast roast potatoes ^_^

^ All right that's it I'm making that tomorrow now, I keep making the same stuff over and over >.<

Garlic portobello 'kiev' and split pea salad




Feeling ready for vampires now after all that roasted garlic O_o

I have 2 breakfasts for you today! Just wanted a nice breakfast so beans, portobello mushroom and potato rosti (they just sell it here like that, youre probably supposed to make it into a proper rosti idk!)




Then this evening I decided to have breakfast for tea

So vegan french toast, recipe here

I really like this recipe, I found Rice Dream -vanilla in the supermarket, perfect for it!




I'm not sure why those kiwis were so yellow because they felt ripe, different type of kiwi or crappy supermarket food?
