Continuing on the fast and easy pastas with yummy crouton topping, I made this one from the lovely cherry tomatoes and courgette/zucchini in my veg box and tossed it with a bit of feta and a splash of orange juice from the oranges in my box. So good. Here is what I did. Chop the…

masala baked beans on toast
I’ve made this before, but since I’m on a Mera Sodha kick, I’ll post today’s picture of masala baked beans on toast. It is a fine fine way to jazz up a tin of tired baked beans with a few pantry spices, tomato paste, a veg box onion, and some green chillies and garlic. The…
potato and kale with coriander chutney and pudla
I had some lovely kale and potatoes in my veg box so I decided to make Mera Sodha’s Pakistani style spinach and potatoes, but using kale rather than spinach. It worked out really well, I just chopped my kale finely and sautéed it with the onions. This is hugely moreish and hard not to have…
aubergine and feta rolls
This is a lovely thing to do with an aubergine/eggplant. It makes for a nice filling in a bun or on toast or a side dish or starter. All you need is aubergine/eggplant, olive oil, a can of tomatoes, garlic, some spices, non dairy/dairy feta and a bit of milk to loosen it up, fresh…
breakfast peppers
I had a few lovely long green peppers in my vegbox and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. I decided to stuff them with things I might like for breakfast and have stuffed breakfast peppers! What I did is get some vegan sausage and break them into tiny pieces and mix them…
green and white bean stew
Meera Sodha had recipe for a light summer stew with a rich vegan aioli, that I thought I would try, since the stew was mainly green beans and celery, both of which I had in my veg box this week. I also added some spinach for extra green. It was exactly how she described it,…
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…
cool salads
On hot days like this, I’m especially glad for the treasures in my vegbox and the nice cool salads I can make. Today I made a favourite, the simple shredded carrot salad, which is such a winner of a salad. It couldn’t be more easy or more delicious. Here is what you do. Either shred…
Mumbai pasties
I’m always glad for potatoes in my veg box because they are my favourite. Today I tried something different with my usual aloo recipe that I make about once a week (I have 3 potato recipes that sit in rotation: this aloo one, colcannon, and Anna Jones’s Greek potatoes). I decided to make a pasty…
ottolenghi’s cauliflower korma wraps
It tastes a whole lot better than it looks, I promise! I had a small cauliflower in my veg box this week and decided to try this recipe, but instead of tofu, I added some veg box carrots and potatoes. This was absolutely marvellous. However, I did make the following changes. I didn’t do the…
