1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, peeled and diced
3 roasted bell peppers (from a jar)
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 can peeled tomatoes (400 g)
600 ml (2,5 cups) vegetable stock

2 garlic cloves, peeled and 1 chopped
juice of 1 lemon
3 tbsp tahini
¼ tsp coarse sea salt
30 ml (⅛ cup) water
extra olive oil for serving
1 tbsp sesame seeds, freshly toasted
1 tsp seaweed flakes

INSTRUCTIONS

Soup
Heat olive oil in large pan. Fry onion on medium heat until translucent. Drain bell peppers and chop into pieces. Add bell pepper to onion and fry along. Add garlic, tomatoes and stock, and bring to a boil. Season to taste with a pinch of oregano. Let cook for ca. 15 min. Puree with stick a blender until really smooth.

In another container, blend basil with vegan cream to obtain herbed cream.

Crostini
Preheat oven to 200 C/400 F. Arrange slices of bread on baking tray. Drizzle some olive oil over the bread. Toast for ca. 10 min until crisp. In the meantime, puree beans with chopped garlic, lemon juice, tahin and salt in food processor. Add water and process until mixture resembles a smooth, creamy hummus. If mixture is too thick and chunky, add some more water and process again. Mix toasted sesame seeds with seaweed. Use the other garlic clove to rub over the slices of bread. Spread some hummus on each slice, drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle seaweed-sesame mixture on top. Serve with the soup.


RODE KERSTSOEP MET CROSTINI

Deze soep is een heerlijk voorgerecht voor de hele familie. Niet te zwaar, geen moeilijke ingrediënten, wel rijk van smaak. De crostini met hummus van witte bonen maakt het helemaal af.

Voor 4-6 personen

INGREDIËNTEN

Soep
1 el olijfolie
1 ui, gepeld en gesnipperd
3 geroosterde paprika’s (uit een pot)
1 teen knoflook, gepeld
1 blik gepelde tomaten (400 g)
600 ml groentebouillon
snuf oregano
125 ml plantaardige room (soja of haver)
blaadjes van 1/2 bosje basilicum + extra blaadjes om te serveren
zwarte peper

Crostini
6 mooie dunne, schuine plakken brood (baguette of ciabatta)
olijfolie
150 g boterbonen of cannellini bonen uit blik
2 tenen knoflook, gepeld en 1 grof gehakt
sap van 1 citroen
3 el tahin
1/4 tl grof zeezout
30 ml water
extra olijfolie voor het serveren
1 el sesamzaad, geroosterd in droge koekenpan
1 tl zeewiervlokken (optioneel)

INSTRUCTIES

Soep
Verhit olijfolie in een pan. Bak ui op middelhoog vuur glazig. Laat geroosterde paprika’s uitlekken en snijd in stukjes. Voeg paprika toe aan de ui en bak even mee. Voeg vervolgens knoflook, gepelde tomaten en bouillon toe, en breng aan de kook. Breng op smaak met een snufje oregano. Laat ca. 15 min zachtjes doorkoken. Pureer het geheel met een staafmixer. Meng voor de kruidenroom basilicum samen met sojaroom. Serveer de soep in mooie kommen en schenk er een straaltje kruidenroom in. Garneer met zwarte peper en een basilicumblaadje.

Crostini
Verwarm de oven voor op 200 graden C. Spreid plakken brood uit over een bakplaat en besprenkel met olijfolie. Rooster in ca. 10 min krokant. Doe ondertussen bonen, de gehakte teen knoflook, citroensap, tahin en zeezout in een keukenmachine en maal fijn. Voeg het water toe en maal nogmaals, tot er een gladde, romige hummus ontstaat. Voeg eventueel extra water toe om tot een gladde, smeerbare hummus te komen. Meng sesamzaadjes met zeewiervlokken. Snijd de overige teen knoflook doormidden, en wrijf over de crostini’s. Besmeer de crostini’s met de hummus, enkele druppels olijfolie en strooi (een deel van) het sesam-zeewier mengsel over. Een deel van het mengsel kan ook over de soep worden gestrooid. Serveer naast de soep.

Dear peeps, We have let our minds wander in regar Dear peeps,

We have let our minds wander in regards to the new reality we are finding ourselves in and to say it with the words of @zachbushmd (check out his posts!) we 'strongly believe there is too much bandwidth of the collective human consciousness spent on this topic’ so we are not gonna add anything to that besides a few things:

1. @thedutchweedburger just posted an amazing article on their blog that to us says it all

2. we are not quite sure if we will be able to continue our friday posts during the coming period, but will do our best to offer easy and delicious plant based inspiration, maybe through our stories

3. because we see a lot of sadness on social media right now we thought this recipe might cheer you up a bit. Just because a smile can do so much for yourself, your body and the world around you.

We created these Pupcakes in service of @worldanimalprotectionnl and you can find the recipe via their website (link in bio) in Dutch. If you need English, Google is your friend ;-). These vegan puppy dogs are worth a translation.

Stay safe!

Maartje & Lisette

VEG BOMBED GREEN CURRY Although we are still in t VEG BOMBED GREEN CURRY

Although we are still in the middle of the winter, it feels like spring every other day and that is why we felt a craving for a light and crispy curry stuffed with leafy greens and fresh flavours. And yes, we know we promised over at MAN.EAT.PLANT. never to do a bowl of green food on a white background. But given the fact that we aren't crazy about (even our own) rules and conventions we did a delicious bowl full of green food on a light background anyway. The comfort food box is checked though, we made sure of that.
