Traditionally, a quiche is an open, pastry flan dish, made with eggs, milk, a wheat-based crust and filled with whatever is in season. Of course, here in the Kind Earth Kitchen, I don't do anything 'traditionally' hahaha, instead, creating my cuisine with dairy-free, egg-free and wheat-free ingredients. I am doing a crustless vegan quiche! [...]
Falafel originated in the Middle East and has since become a popular alternative to meat. These days, it makes a regular appearance in fast food trucks and health food outlets all over the western world. It is typically deep fried, although I’ve always opted to create a much healthier baked or grilled alternative.
The recipe I am sharing here today, totally excites my taste buds with a tantalizing medley of warming spices. This ‘Thai Coconut Curry’, uses kaffir lime for a tangy kick; cardamom pods for an exquisite burst of sweet, spicy excitement; coriander, turmeric and lots of other delicious things. I use creamed coconut to give it a full tropical coconut experience (see below for more about the coconut that works best for this recipe).
I adore finding new and healthful ways to incorporate beetroot into my weekly diet. Beetroot is often over-looked as an 'I-don't-know-what-to-do-with-it' type food. Well worthy of our attention, it is ridiculously healthy - right up there with the healthiest of foods.
I've been making 'stir-steamed' veggie dishes for quite some time now. It's our super easy, healthy, 'fast food' go to meal. If I serve this with gluten free noodles, then I can literally have it on the table ready to eat within 10 minutes of deciding to make it. It's that quick! It's a bit of a take on the traditional chinese stir-fry, except the only thing that is fried is one quick minute of garlic. The vegetables are essentially steamed in a very small amount of water, right there in the pan.
A super healthy gluten-free, vegan seed roast loaf made with a base of sunflower and pumpkin seeds and carrots.
Here it is - my "Chickpea (garbonzo bean) & Mushroom Burger" recipe. This is an excellent way to enjoy a super healthy, high-protein, vegan, gluten-free meal, whilst using optimal plant-based ingredients...
When most people think of creamy sauces, they usually imagine dairy milk, yogurt or cream as an essential ingredient for a lip-lickin', smooth buttery result. Seldom do people imagine... erm, cauliflower! So let's talk about this creamy vegan cauliflower sauce for a second. Having eaten a plant-based diet for the best part of 25 years, [...]
Falafel is a traditional deep fried middle eastern dish. We enjoy a wonderfully healthy version by adding a few extra things like turmeric and sweet potato and bake them in the oven instead. I like to add turmeric, because it complements the other flavours so well and gives a gorgeous yellow glow to the plate. [...]
This gluten free, vegan lasagne is a fantastic alternative to the meaty, dairy laden versions. It's tasty, filling and full of healthy protein and nutritional goodness. In this version I use twirly rice fusilli pasta instead of flat lasagne pasta sheets. You can, of course, buy pasta sheets and use them instead. Gluten free pasta [...]
