Vegetable Curry (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Curries are such amazingly flavourful dishes and are so versatile. This one is easily modifiable to suit your lifestyle. Add some chicken or lamb if you want that extra protein and meaty flavour. Substitute the vegetables here for whatever you have in your fridge or pantry. Broccoli instead of cauliflower? Sure. Lentils instead of chickpeas? No problem. Yogurt instead of coconut milk? You get the point.

Curried Baby Hasselback Potatoes

This side dish is brining the flavour. If you want to save some time just cut your baby potatoes in half and forget making them hasselback. Cause I know you don’t all have time to waste in the kitchen like I do.

Peanut Satay Yam Noodle Bowls

If you haven’t invested in a spiralizer yet, I highly suggest you get on it! It encourages me to eat healthier by making it easy to substitute regular noodles for vegetable noodles. If you don’t have one you can still make this recipe- you will just have to cube the yams instead (or spend the extra time cutting them into very thin strips).

Fresh Veggie & Beef Noodle Bowl

Here’s another healthy recipe to add to your rotation. This reminds me of a Vietnamese noodle bowl but with more freshness from the extra vegetables. Omit the beef to make it vegetarian or substitute prawns, chicken or tofu.

Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Bagna Cauda

I find that cauliflower is a highly underrated vegetable. In my opinion, when it’s raw it’s pretty blah, but as soon as you give it a nice roast it’s incredible. It is a great vessel for all sorts of flavours: in this case a buttery, salty, anchovy-based sauce.

Roasted Green Beans with Beets, Gorgonzola and Toasted Pine Nuts

I consider Gorgonzola an entry level blue cheese, but if you just aren’t into it swap it for goat cheese (or remove it altogether).
