Roasted Beets and Garlic Pasta Sauce

The sweetness of beetroots will lift spirits at your table

 

Roast the 3 heads of garlic  in a preheated oven (200C.) Peel and discard the papery outer layers of the whole garlic bulb.

Leave intact the skins of the individual cloves of garlic. Cut 1/4 to a 1/2 inch from the top of cloves. This exposes the individual cloves of garlic.

Drizzle a couple teaspoons of olive oil over each exposed head, using your fingers to rub the olive oil over all the cut, exposed garlic cloves.

Cover the bulb with aluminum foil.

In the same baking tray add the beets, drizzled with oil and salt.

Bake at 200C for 30-40 minutes, or until the cloves are lightly browned and feel soft when pressed and the beets are roasted.

Once cooled, press the garlic cloves to release the paste and add them to a blender. Add the beets, lime/lemon juice, olive oil, salt and yoghurt.

If you want a lactose-free, or vegan version, substitute the yoghurt with boiled potatoes and water to thin it out to creamy consistency

Blend and adjust to taste. Add to your favourite pasta

 

Avocado Toast with Poached Egg

A fresh, versatile dish with different textures and delicious taste.

When the water is boiling, turn off the heat and carefully crack the eggs directly into each rim. Cover the pot and poach for 5 minutes

While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread and smash the avocado on each piece of toast. Add the cooked  or raw spinach. Place the eggs on top and add a pinch of chilli flakes.

 

*If you don’t want, or know how, to make poached eggs, a fried egg is equally delicious.

Tahini, Soya and Peanut Butter Sauce

In a heated pan add the onion and garlic. Once they soften, add the tomato sauce, peanut butter, soya sauce and Tahini. Mix well and let simmer.  Add the almond milk and mix well and let simmer. Once everything is cooked for 5 minutes, turn the heat off,  add the yoghurt while mixing.

Pour over your favourite pasta or a bowl of rice and enjoy!

Accompany it with a bowl of rice with cucumber and nectarines. Add cherry tomatoes, celery, and omega 3 seed mix. ( Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds.)

This bowl can be eaten as a lunch on its own, by adding hummus to the mix.

Vegetables Nuggets

Boil the potatoes, carrots and onion.

Blend the spinach and cilantro with a splash of water.

Once the root vegetables are cooked, blend until puree consistency. Add a splash of water to thin it out and make it easier to blend.

In a bowl add the flours, egg, salt, spinach and cilantro puree and the potato and carrot puree. Mix well until everything is incorporated.

In a hot pan, add a teaspoon of oil, make small nuggets of the mix, like little croquettes or mini burgers and cook on both sides until golden brown.

Two cans chickpeas.

Chopped red onion, celery whatever other veggies you have (red pepper, carrots etc) follow your heart. Mayo.

Splash Apple Code Vinegar. Jalapeños if you want.  Salt and Pepper to taste.

Simply mix everything together and add to bread to create a sandwich with lettuce & tomato.

Breaded Tofu Sticks

Start by drying the tofu very well. Once dry, cut the tofu in sticks lenghtwise and then again by half horizontally, so you get 2 sticks from each original stick.

In a bowl add the soya sauce or coconut aminos, the lime juice, a handful of dried parsley and the sesame seed oil. Mix everything very well with a whisk, and add the tofu. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour.

Meanwhile, in a food processor add the oats, paprika, herbs de provence and salt. That will become the coating flour for your tofus. Don’t throw away your liquid mix, use it as a dipping sauce.

Start heating a pan. While that happens take out the sticks and roll them on the flour, coating them very well. Once all of them are breaded, add the to the pan and start searing them and cooking them on each side. They should become crispy, golden and delicious.
