2 November 2021 by Lisette Kreischer Leave a Comment

This beautiful stuffed pumpkin, from our book FAMILY.EAT.PLANT., looks very festive on an autumnal dressed table. A really flavourful dish to serve around this time of year.

While we are here, we wish to ask you something. FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. has been nominated for the Food & Friends award. We are very grateful for that, but to actually win this award we need as many votes as possible. So if you like this book, our work and our recipes, we wish to ask you to vote here for FAMILY.EAT.PLANT.. Many thanks in advance!

Serves +/- 4

INGREDIENTS

1 large or 2 smaller (Hokkaido) pumpkins
400 ml water
1 cube of vegetable stock
200 g quinoa
salt and black pepper to taste
25 g plant-based butter for baking
1 onion, peeled and in half rings
250 g chestnut mushrooms, quartered
300 g spinach (thoroughly washed if neccesary)
1 clove of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
100 g roasted pecans, coarsely chopped
5 sage leaves, finely shredded

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Wash the pumpkin(s) thoroughly. Bake the whole pumpkin(s) for approx. 20 minutes in the oven.

Bring the water to a boil. Crumble the vegetable stock cube over it. Cook the quinoa in the stock for around 15 minutes. Remove the pumpkin from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to a manageable temperature. Cut off the top and remove the seeds with a spoon. You want to leave as few strands as possible. Sprinkle the inside with some salt and pepper.

Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat and fry the onion and chestnut mushrooms until golden brown. Make sure that the chestnut mushrooms are fried for a long time, then they become real tasty and this also improves the texture. Add the spinach and fry briefly until just shrunk. Add the garlic, cooked quinoa, pecans, and sage. Stir briefly and turn off the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Fill the pumpkin with the quinoa mixture and press the filling slightly. Place the pumpkin and filling in the oven for around 15 to 20 minutes.

Voor 4 personen

INGREDIËNTEN

1 grote of 2 kleinere (Hokkaido) pompoen(en)
400 ml water
1 groentebouillonblokje
200 g quinoa
zout en zwarte peper naar smaak
25 g plantaardige bakboter
1 ui, gepeld en in halve ringen
250 g kastanjechampignons, in kwarten
300 g spinazie, goed gewassen indien nodig
1 teentje knoflook, gepeld en fijngehakt
100 g geroosterde pecannoten, grofgehakt
5 blaadjes salie, in fijne reepjes

INSTRUCTIES

Verwarm de oven voor tot 200 °C. Was de pompoen(en) goed. Bak de hele pompoen(en) ca. 20 minuten in de oven.

Breng het water aan de kook. Verkruimel het groentebouillonblokje erboven. Kook de quinoa in ca. 15 minuten gaar in de bouillon. Haal de pompoen uit de oven en laat hem een beetje afkoelen tot een hanteerbare temperatuur. Snijd het kapje eraf en haal de zaden en zaadlijsten er met behulp van een lepel uit. Je wilt zo min mogelijk draden overhouden. Bestrooi de binnenkant met wat zout en peper.

Verhit de bakboter in een pan op middelhoog vuur en bak hierin de ui en kastanjechampignons goudbruin. Zorg dat de kastanjechampignons echt goed en lang aangebakken worden, dan worden het echte smaakbommetjes en dit komt ook de textuur ten goede. Voeg de spinazie toe en bak hem kort mee tot net geslonken. Voeg de knoflook, gekookte quinoa, pecannoten en salie toe. Schep nog even door en draai het vuur uit. Breng op smaak met zout en peper. Vul de pompoen met het quinoamengsel en druk de vulling een beetje aan. Zet de pompoen met vulling nog ca. 15 tot 20 minuten in de oven.

Presenting a killer kitchen for which NO ONE has to be killed and EVERYONE gains!

We have a new cookbook 🔥 Written for Sam and he We have a new cookbook 🔥
Written for Sam and her pig companions @mymomsam. Because with the arrival of spring, we can almost smell the roasted coals again and what mostly lies on the grill above; the creatures that wanted so much to live. And that lights the fire in our hearts and gets us going. So Maartje pulled out her knives and Lisette her camera to fill the pages of... VLAM IN DE PLANT (Veg on fire). A happy book with an activist touch rich with delicious plant based recipes, a beautiful foreword by @karensoeters and an ode to dear Sam.

We discovered the cuisine of plants years ago and have been vegan for the animals for more than 38 years combined. It was a wonderful bonus that this way of life also turned out to be a lot better for the earth and ourselves. What we did not immediately expect was that this cuisine brought us huge taste explosions! We became big and strong on the power of plants and seduced and enticed by those wonderful flavours and textures. Meanwhile, we feel it is our mission to bring out the potential of this cuisine.

The popularity of BBQ has been skyrocketing for years and we felt it was time to once and for all say bye bye to the for many, boring image of veggies and take plants to great heights by putting them on fire. The plant based kitchen deserves the spotlight. And the BBQ is a great tool to make vegetables incredibly flavoursome. By cooking veg on the BBQ with the right spices, you enrich your kitchen with insane flavours and contribute to less suffering at the same time. So be tempted and seduced by the abundance of vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, weeds, fruits and herbs and fire up those plants.

Available to order now at all (online) bookstores in The Netherlands, via link in bio and @maartjeborst.

Vlam in de Plant could not have come about without Pig Sam, Karen Soeters, Stichting Melief, House of Animals, Diewertje van Wering and, of course, Kosmos Publishers. We are extremely grateful to all of them. ❤️🔥🙏🏼

FISH-FREE MEDITERRANEAN ORZO This delicious orzo FISH-FREE MEDITERRANEAN ORZO

This delicious orzo dish with roasted vegetables takes little time to make and is bursting with flavour. The tuna-like flavour of @goodcatchfoods Fish Free Tuna by our friend @dereksarno goes well with savoury flavour bombs like olives and capers, and the creamy orzo provides an excellent stage for this goodness.

Hungry already? Recipe now up on the blog (link in bio).

Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in Th Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in The Netherlands, so maybe it is not the best time to fire up that BBQ and start roasting the hell out of those veggies. But we pray for sunshine and when that sun starts shining tofu, seitan, tempeh and mushrooms will hit a bowl of marinade and will be roasted like there is no tomorrow.

The time we've all been waiting for is finally her The time we've all been waiting for is finally here. The summer family BBQ! The best time for a good toast under the sun, and a tasty roast too! Roasted tempeh and grilled tofu topped with tasty sauces are the perfect ingredients to set the summer vibes we’ve been looking forward to.

And yes, you read right. In the family summer BBQ we imagine, animals are more than welcome to attend as long as they are enjoying the moment with us, and not there as a sacrifice for us.

Sam and her family would be the first to say thanks for leaving meat behind this summer - and hopefully forever more! Sam is a mother of 251 piglets, of which only 9 are here today due to the industry. She became one of the lucky ones in February 2021 when she was rescued while pregnant with her little ones by @meliefanimalsanctuary. In wanting to show the spirit of those behind the isolated walls of the meat industry, House of Animals will be launching a documentary about Sam’s story and those of her piglets in 2022.

This summer and all days to come, let’s honor Sam and all the souls we’ve lost as a result of the industry by eating plant-based, succulent BBQs! Inspired by Sam’s story, House of Animals created a recipe book with the help of us, @maartjeborst and @lisettekreischer, which will make your summer glimmer with taste, rich flavors and joy. Download it for free on the website @mymomsam (link in our bio).

SUNNY SIDES UP Drum rolls, please! FAMILY.EAT.PL SUNNY SIDES UP

Drum rolls, please!

FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. has hit planet Earth and here is the first recipe to go online! And certainly not the least! Yes, we know, what you see here in the pic looks suspiciously like a sandwich with sunny-side-up eggs. But none of that!

What you see are peaches (or apricots) with a cheesy sauce. Maartje’s father used to make this recipe often on the weekend. Super easy, super yummy.

You can keep it plain and simple by just making the cheesy sauce, and prep the toast with the sauce and peaches, or you can go wild and throw some slices of vegan ham on there.

Recipe now up on the blog (link in bio).
