Recipe of the month! -September

Thanks to our fab follower Simone for this recipe. I haven't tried it out myself yet, but she says she loves it!

Yummy Lentils and coconut

Ingredients;
2-3 cups of dried red lentils
spinach (one frozen pack or a few bunches of fresh)
tin of coconut milk
2-3 cups of vege stock
tin of chopped tomatoes
few spoons of curry powder / chilli powder any other spices you like
one large onion chopped
one garlic clove chopped


Method;
sautee onion and garlic in oil until softened. Add spices. Stir in lentils. Add all the other ingredients and bring to boil. Simmer 20mins or more. I like to simmer for longer so it's really mushy!

All finished...happy eating!

Scrumbly, Creamy AND Vegan!

I bet you thought it was impossible to get vegan ice cream. I bet you thought it was even more impossible to make it at home! And what would you say if i told you that you only need one ingredient? Yes, that's right, and it is completely and totally healthy. And what is this magic ingredient you ask? Why, bananas.
Yes, apparently when you freeze bananas, then blend them, they turn deliciously creamy and smooth. All you have to do is bung a few over-ripe bananas in the freezer, leave overnight and then chuck them in the blender.
Prefer a little twist? Just add a little honey and some peanut paste.

Yummo

Good way to clean out the fruit bowl and make a healthy snack at the same time! Go to http://www.thekitchn.com/ for more fabulous recipes.
