Cous cous with roasted veggies, golden raisins and toasted pine nuts

Cous cous is so insanely easy to make. Just boil water or veggie stock, add the cous cous, remove from heat and cover for 5 minutes. You can even add turmeric to the boiling pot for a nice yellow color. It is best to separate the grains of cous cous by tenderly running a fork through them once they have soaked up the stock

Roast veggies at 425 F for 15 minutes, stirred, added minced garlic and set it back in the oven for 10-15 minutes longer.

Enjoy!

Hibiscus Chamoy

Boil the hibiscus flowers in water,  the apricots and sugar for 15 minutes.

Blend everything, add the chilli and the juice of the limes.

Add water to get the right consistency.

Lentils and mushrooms Bolognese

Cook the lentils. I usually soak them for 12 hours, but when I forget, I simly soak them for a few hours in boling water.

Befor cooking, drained them and add to a pot with salt, cumin cumin powder, ¼ onion and 2 cups of water.

Cook the mushrooms. I wash and cut them. In a pan add oil, add the mushrooms, salt and let cook. Put them aside.

In a hot pan with oil, add the celery chopped in small pieces, same as the carrot, onion and tomato. Once the vegetables are soft I puree them in a blender. If needed add a splash of water or bone broth. Trasfer the puree back to the pan and let simmer.

Take a smaller pan and add a drizzle of oil, add chopped onion. Once it is cooked take the pan off the heat and add the paprika and stir. Add the puree and let simmer. The sauces will thicken.

Taste to adjust with salt or sugar if needed. The sugar will balance the acidity.

Once it simmered for 5 minutes add the mushrooms and lentiles and stir.

Cook your favourite pasta and add the sauce. Enjoy!
