THE KIND EMPANADA

16 August 2019 by Lisette Kreischer Leave a Comment

Do you remember empanadas? Those lovely South American hand pies stuffed with savoury goodness? Only we made a better version by choosing the plant based ingredients that are just as savory and satisfying as the ‘classic’ ones, but much kinder for you, the world and all animals. The stuffing consists of green olives, apple, bell pepper and a vegan bechamel sauce which binds the ingredients surprisingly well. And the dough… oh la la…it’s so flaky and buttery and super easy to make! They are best eaten just after frying them (let cool down for a bit so you don’t burn your mouth ;)).

CONFIT PADRON PEPPERS

8 August 2019 by Lisette Kreischer Leave a Comment

This is what life is about. No fuzz, just the utter joy of simple things that taste like heaven. If you cook these babies well, the texture becomes very silky (especially if you’re using the best quality extra virgin olive oil) and the taste super sweet. The salt adds just the right amount of crunch to the soft peppers. Eat them as a snack, appetizer or side dish. Perfect with some sourdough bread and a nice chilled Sauvignon Blanc or cool beer.

In this day and age who needs eggs or chickens to enjoy a lovely eggy flavoured salad?! No one! Say hell to the yeah for plant based awesomeness like kala namak! Kala nama is black rock salt with a sulphurous, pungent-smell and flavour which many egg eaters really seem to love when added to a plant based dish. So now one can meets their eggy cravings, for instance with this brilliant eggless salad, while chickens can be happy and free and sing their wonderful cock-a-doodle-dee tunes.

Oh lala these taco’s just rock and definitely have some latin temperament! Intensely seasoned and slow roasted jackfruit (young and ripe, that’s the secret to perfect tasting ‘pulled jackfruit meat’) makes this dish taste absolutely sensational. A crowd pleaser for sure. THE go-to Friday night dinner for a great start of the weekend.

FISHY EGGPLANT 

5 April 2019 by Lisette Kreischer Leave a Comment

Eggplant is one of the most served veggies for vegetarians and vegans in restaurants. Amazingly enough though it is also one of the most misunderstood and poorly prepared vegetables. This should not be the case. Eggplant is a beastly veggie with a bizarre flavour and texture potential. You just have to know how to handle it. Hence this recipe. Especially for the former fish lovers, this is probably a very special taste experience. You can give the eggplant a surprisingly sea-ish taste by smoking it. The silky smooth structure of eggplant in combination with the smoky flavour makes this an amazing delicacy. Serve on toasted sourdough bread with arugula, avocado and vegan mayo.
