My friend and I had the same great idea to make use of our juice pulp! I use my vegbox oranges to make juice, then used the pulp in some carrot parsnip soup. It was a nice bright addition to a warming winter soup. Here is what I did. I sautéed in oil an onion…

broccoli stalk spread
I had a tiny broccoli in my veg box which was perfect for some broccoli carrot peanut noodles, but I wanted a use for the large stalk I had leftover. I decided to make a nutty, sorta cheesy, vegan spread for bagels/toast. It isn’t a looker, but it is rather nice! Here is what I…
smokey red pepper and tomato sauce
This morning my friend told me about this super yummy red pepper pasta salad recipe she made, and insisted I make. Since my vegbox provided most of the stuff I needed, and I was just missing the pasta, I figured I would give it a go. Or at least something like it, and stick it…
meatballs
Sometimes I’m looking for a little protein boost for the things I make with the veg in my veg box. Here is a vegan meatball recipe my dear friend shared with me that I really love and I make a lot. They are nice as spaghetti and meatballs, meatball sandwiches, Swedish meatballs, or meatballs in…
peanut stew
I had a lot of little bits and bobs leftover from my veg box to use up: ends of red and green peppers, some small potatoes, a few small sweet potatoes, a courgette/zucchini, onion, tomato, and a couple of carrots. Rather than a minestrone, I decided to give a peanut stew a try, because I…
tiny baked pears
I had wee pears in my box and I decided to make a wee treat. I baked them with a knob of non-dairy/dairy butter, chopped nuts, and a splash of maple syrup. I baked them in the oven at 200C/400F until soft and golden (little pears take about 10mins, regular ones maybe 15-20). Yum.
my favourite vegan bolognese sauce
My veg box this week had a cauliflower which made me think about making a batch of my favourite bolognese sauce. Look, if you’re hoping this is gonna taste like the meaty deliciousness made by some Italian grandmother, it will disappoint. However, it is full of veg, has the right mouthfeel for bolognese sauce, and…
smoky spreads
I had some veg that was great for grilling in my veg box, and I decided to grill them and make them into dips: smoky, herby aubergine/eggplant dip and roast red pepper dip. The first time I tried making dips (as seen in this photo), I blended the veg pretty smooth. It was okay, but…
things with tahini
This was a breakfast adventure with Cate’s instant pot. It is black rice, salted pistachios, raspberries, tahini, honey, mint, soy milk. Cate put the rice in the instant pot, 18 minutes on the multigrain setting, then natural release, but you can cook black rice anyway you want. We topped the rice with salted nuts (salted…
