Lazy Vegetarian Meal Ideas #25 Chickpea and Kale Delight

Published by

Originally posted on News, reviews and cooking tips:
I love chickpeas. Like, seriously. I could write a sonnet about chickpeas. Chickpeas are cheap, tasty and protein filled beauties and I don’t know what I would do without them, and they are also fabulously cheap! This recipe is my take on the more traditional spinach and chickpea combo; kale has a slightly sweeter taste, but I prefer it personally. What you need: A can of chickpeas, about half a pack of kale, olive oil, an onion. Spices: Asafoetida, fenugreek, tumeric, chilli powder, cumin, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, salt, pepper, chilli flakes 1: Heat oil in a large saucepan and add some asafoetida and mustard seeds. Heat the oil over a medium heat for a few minutes (chop the onion in the mean time) until it becomes fragrant. Then turn up the heat, add the onions and spices and fry for five-seven minutes 2: Add the kale and sauté on a medium heat for a few minutes. Then add the chickpeas and some more spices and fry for about five…

In my opinion,  Chili is an essential recipe during the winter.This hearty vegetarian chili includes sweet potato and black beans along with flavourful seasoning such as cumin, cinnamon and chili powder.  This chili is bursting with flavour and is my favorite chili recipe at the moment. This chili is the perfect healthy weeknight meal. You can even make it and take it with you for lunch,  I am sure you will make everyone jealous! I’ve also added a few optional topping ideas such as avocado and coriander.Eat the chili as it is, or serve it with brown rice or quinoa. ? ?

Best-Ever Black Bean Burgers

I’ve eaten a whole lot of veggie burgers throughout my vegetarian life. Rarely have I ever made them myself, and this recipe really outshines anything you can buy in the freezer aisle. It takes a little bit longer to make this recipe, so if you’re always in a time crunch after work like me, hold off on this recipe until the weekend. I often find myself facing a major problem in trying new recipes: I don’t have a food processor. But I found a secret hack to the lack of food processor- an electric mixer. It seriously works like a charm! This recipe in particular comes from Ambitious Kitchen, but I made a few alterations that worked better for me. This recipe originally calls for half of a jalepeno and 2 teaspoons of spicy cajun spices, but I am not a big fan of spicy food so I took it out. It also called for sprouts as a topping on the burgers which in general are delicious, but I…

It’s that time of year. Your Christmas tree is probably up, most of the Thanksgiving leftovers have been eaten through, and possibly, there’s a little bit of snow on the ground. For me, two of those things are true,?still no snow days for me yet! But even if none of those things are true, you cannot go wrong with chili. If I thought my last time in the kitchen was bad, then this time is in a category all it’s own. I have to admit, getting the hang of cooking is much harder than it looks! Getting all the right ingredients, preparing the food successfully, everything running smoothly, at the same/correct time, and then coming out deliciously? Much harder said then done. But, I learn something new every time. This time around I found out just how important it is to have simple recipes when you don’t cook often. One reason is, you will waste a ton of money on random ingredients that will end up going bad before you…

I am in Washington DC this week visiting my sister. DC is such as hip place with a wide variety of innovative restaurants. I’ve been to some really cool food places already such as Buredo, which makes sushi burritos, and I tried the gluten free and vegetarian tacos from Chaia, which were incredibly delicious. Just before I went to DC I made this potato and bean salad for my family. I made this salad to take advantage of  potatoes and green beans in season. This salad was incredibly popular with the family. The combination of potatoes and green beans is one of my favourites. This salad is so flavorful with potatoes, lots of fresh herbs, green beans, kale, fresh herbs and also have a tangy zing from the white wine vinegar. This salad is great on it’s own for a light lunch or dinner and also pairs perfectly with fish, especially salmon. This salad can served both warm or chilled.   Ingredients: 800 gram potatoes 350 grams beans 1 cup chickpeas Two…

Healthy Vegan Carrot Falafel Recipe.

I have fallen in love with falafel ever since turning vegan, mainly because it acts as such a good meat substitute in so many dishes (particularly in sandwiches and when paired with couscous). However, I was never good at making them myself, until my mom made these carrot falafel’s a few weeks ago. I instantly fell in love and made her give me the recipe. I have made them many times since, and I can’t get enough. They are simple, healthy (as they’re oven baked, not fried), and most importantly, delicious! So without further ado here is my (well, my mom’s) carrot falafel recipe: Ingredients (for around 15 falafel pieces): -1 can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed) -2 carrots (grated) -2 tbsp olive oil -Seasoning (this part is up to you, but my favourite combo is: garlic salt, garlic pepper, garlic powder, curry powder, chilli powder, and ground cumin). Instructions: Turn your oven to 220 degrees Celsius. After having drained and rinsed your chickpeas, mash them with a…
