This bright green dish is amazingly simple but packs a flavour punch thanks to the ginger & orange dressing. The tangy orange works so well with the grated ginger, with a tiny bit of sweetness from the honey – perfect! This recipe makes quite a bit of dressing, but the quinoa just drinks it up so I really like it, but use less if you prefer!
Mushrooms appear in my veggie box with somewhat regularity and I always find ways to use them by adding them to pasta sauces, throwing them in stir-fries or curries or cooking them up for breakfast (which is B’s favourite way to eat them!). I rarely make them the star of the dish though, so when I got a large bag full of little button mushrooms in my last veggie box delivery I decided it was time to change all that, and went hunting for a mushroom focused recipe to try out!
This is one of those salads that is hearty enough to be a meal all by itself, without leaving you feeling sluggish and snoozy afterwards. It’s full of protein from the lentils, Vitamin A and C from the sweet potato and is a little bit fancy thanks to the addition of goats cheese! You can dress this salad in pretty much whatever dressing you like best – I went with a simple lemon juice and dijon mustard dressing, but seeded mustard, a tahini dressing or even an apple cider vinegar dressing would work well too. Make it your own!
I found myself with an excess of potatoes from my veggie box delivery that needed using and immediately thought of Caitlin’s recent post on Mother Down Under of her potato salad recipe, and how it reminded her of her childhood, so I knew I had to make some as well.
When I first went completely vegetarian curries were one of my staple dinners – most commonly a potato and chickpea green curry to be precise! I gradually expanded my repertoire to include a wider range of cuisines and for a while stopped making curries altogether. In recent times I have gone back to making curries occasionally, and when I received both pumpkin and green beans in my recent veggie box I knew straight away what I wanted to use them for! I made this dish a little on the spicy side, but you can reduce the heat by using less chilli flakes and/or curry powder if you prefer it slightly milder!
