Looking for something really tasty, I like most things but don't eat a lot of beans/pulses. Happy to try though.

@Rainbows89 what cream do you use in this please? It sounds lovely

I made cashew cream! Which was very easy! I just soaked some cashews for about an hour. Then I put them in my Ninja blender with some water and blended them for about 4-5 minutes. It worked really well. I think I did one cup of cashews and one cup of water.

I know you said you don't like pulses, but I find pulses especially chickpeas taste best from glass jars (bodum sofra etc) you tend to get more fur your money this way too. I get ours from ethnic shops ( I'm lucky to have several to choose from)
Chickpea smush is great for sandwiches

Also look at recipes for 'pulled mushrooms' (which is like pulled pork but using mushrooms)

Chickpea smush is chickpeas, rinsed (you can take the skins off if you want but I don't) , mashed. Add gherkins and capers vegan (or regular) mayo salt and pepper to taste.
You can make it whatever texture you like , I like mine fairly chunky.
I eat this at least once a week
There's lots of variations on this some people add nori or lemon

KirstenBlest · 08/01/2024 18:07

Thanks. I might try that if I don't have any tahini in. I eat a lot of hummus.
I don't take the skin off any pulses. Definitely don't peel broad beans.

Jamie Oliver’s carrot, grain, pomegranate and feta dish

I roast the carrots rather than dry them as then I don’t have to stand over the hob. I use Merchant Gourmet’s glorious grains. We’re actually having this tonight. DH and DS are having salmon with it but I’m just having this. I do two sachets of the grains and I find it quite filling.

Carrot and Grain Salad

Jamie Oliver's recipe for Carrot and Grain Salad, as seen on Channel 4 series Quick & Easy Food, makes a quick and satisfying lunch.

I started a thread about the Ottolenghi confit chickpeas a couple of months ago and it's still occasionally rumbling on! Very positive feedback and a lot of useful tips. https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/food_and_recipes/4941260-ottolenghis-confit-chickpeas-anybody-made-it

I always recommend this recipe. Easy, delicious, not too time-consuming or expensive. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/jun/09/meera-sodha-recipe-tomato-pistachio-saffron-tart-vegan

My base for a lot of meals is a ratatouille without aubergine (I fry onion, leeks, peppers, courgettes and mushrooms then add them to several tins of chopped toms and herbs.

It goes great on pasta with a cheese top (makes a good pasta bake), or in a baked potato. If you add a tin of chick peas and some curry spices it makes a lovely veggie curry. Or just eat it as a ratatouille with a baguette.
