The Perfect Valentines Meal
It’s that month when love is in the air and it feels like this year we need to show even more love after the trials and tribulations of a world pandemic. We obviously cannot go out and celebrate but what we can do is cook our loved ones a special meal at home to show that we can.
We have come up with a few recipe ideas to help give you some inspiration;
Starters
Pani Puris – This deep-fried Indian street food makes a great party snack – crisp rounds of bread filled with chickpeas and potato, drizzled with a herb and spice water
Grape and Rosemary Foccacia – With this easy bread, there’s no need to knead. The slow rise allows the gluten to develop naturally and the sticky, wet dough helps produce focaccia’s characteristic air bubbles – great served warm with soft goat’s cheese
Grilled Peach Panzanella – This refreshing salad is a new take on an Italian classic, with a touch of sweetness.
Mains
Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Zaatar Spice and Tahini Sauce– a healthy vegan meal bursting with Middle Eastern flavours. Easy and delicious! Serves 2 perfectly!
Spicy Chinese Eggplant with Szechuan Sauce with chilies and peanuts– serve or black rice or rice noodles for a tasty, easy vegan dinner!
DATE NIGHT Vegan Alfredo for two, tossed in a delicious cashew (or hemp) cream, with sautéed mushrooms, Meyer lemon zest and a secret ingredient that gives this extra complexity and depth. Can be made in under 30 minutes!
Sheet-Pan, Chipotle Portobello Tacos – smoky, spicy and “meaty”, these VEGAN tacos are sure to satisfy even the most diehard meat-lovers! Make them in 30 minutes! Sooooooo Tasty! All plants!
