Easy Vegan Recipes

Ingredients

For the curry:
1 brown onion
4-5 garlic cloves
1 inch piece ginger
2 tbsp garam masala
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp coriander
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or to desired heat)
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 can chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 can coconut cream
1 tbsp liquid sweetener
1/3 cup cashews
salt to taste

For the tempeh:
1 block tempeh/tofu
1/2 cup coconut yoghurt (or any plant-based yogurt)
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt

Method

Pre-heat oven to 180C / 350F.

Dice up the tempeh into cubes. Add to a bowl along with all other tempeh ingredients, mix well so tempeh is well coated. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the tempeh cubes onto the paper evenly spread so they have space to bake.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then take out and flip and bake for a further 15 minutes. Whilst the tempeh is baking, you can start the curry.

In a medium sized pot, heat 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add in onion with a pinch of salt and sauté until soft.

Next, add in the garlic, ginger and spices. Sauté for 5 or so minutes, staring occasionally and adding water if it starts to stick to the bottom.

Then, add in the rest of the ingredients (tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, cashews and coconut cream) and let this simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Then, either with an immersion blender or transferring the sauce into a blender, blend until smooth. Add in salt to taste, and then the tempeh and your curry is ready to be served.

It’s no secret that I’m a huge bread lover (it’s my favourite carb!) + this beetroot swirl bread has been one of my most popular recipes and it’s fully plant-based

Ingredients

For the roux:

1/4 cup Bread Flour
1/2 cup Soy Milk

For the Swirl Bread:

2 1/4 tsp. Instant Yeast
2/3 cup Soy Milk
1/4 cup Sugar
2 tbs beetroot powder
1/4 cup Olive Oil
2 1/3 cup Bread Flour
1 tsp. Salt

Instructions

To make the roux, mix the bread flour and soy milk in a small saucepan over medium heat, until thick ~2 mins

Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Mix the instant yeast, lukewarm soy milk, sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Set aside until bubbly after 5-7 minutes.

Add the roux, olive oil, and salt to the bowl. Mix to combine.

Using the hook attachment, gradually add the bread flour to form a ball.

Separate the dough into two equal portions.

Add one dough portion back into the stand mixer, then add the beetroot powder dissolved in 1/2 tbs water. Knead until the colour is even.

Add both dough portions into separate bowls, lightly greased. Let rise at room temp for 1 hour, until doubled.

Punch down the dough, then roll out each to a large rectangle. Stack the dough portions to layer, then roll to create the swirl.

Place in a greased bread tin to rise for 25-30 minutes, until doubled.

Preheat oven to 180c

Brush the bread with olive oil or maple syrup.

Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Let cool in the pan for at least 15 mins then cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
