Healthy Vegan - Green and Gold Courgettes - Zucchini

My  Harvest Monday blog post this week is not that dissimilar to last weeks, as I have more beans to share of the green and purple variety.
However this week, I also have some green and gold courgettes.    

 Every single day, I have been coming back into the kitchen with a courgette. 
I was thinking about booking a day of as annual leave/vacation from work so that I could use up these courgettes, but D had decided that with the school summer holidays starting this week, that it wasn't worth going out anywhere as we would probably be stuck in traffic and we should both stay home and catch up on things.  This was fine with me, he mowed the front of the garden, as I made the most of these courgettes and much more. I know - we lead such exciting lives!
 Here are some jars of homemade Courgette and Apricot Chutney.  
I also made a vegan Lemon and Courgette Cake. See I told you that I make the most of my violas to garnish cakes. 
Please do come back next week when I will show off some of my massive marrows, one of which was used to make this Marrow and Fenugreek Curry.  It was served it with Courgette Rice.
I  am sharing this post with  Harvest Monday is hosted by Dave over Our Happy Acres.

Healthy Vegan - Purple Green French Beans, Carrot and Potato Tacos

Image
I have been in the garden plot picking the last of the plums for plum jam and purple climbing French beans .  Ah they have been lovely to grow,  but upon cooking they turn a dull green. I made this French Bean, Carrot and Potato filling in order to make some Taco's.  I used Wahaca Yellow Corn Tortilla, and finished it off with a generous dollop o soured cream.  Folded it over  and the smothered it further with some Tomatilla Salsa.   This Purple Green French Bean, Carrot and Potato Tacos were very  good to eat.     I am  sharing this recipe with   Kahakai Kitchen .  I hope she will accept this Mexican style sandwich.   Purple Green French Beans, Carrot and Potato Tacos To serve 10 Corn Tortillas Soured cream or slices of avocado, or even guacamole Tomato Salsa or Tomatillo Salsa Ingredients for the filling 200grams french beans, topped and tailed and sliced into 1/2 pieces 1 large potato, diced 2 tab...

Healthy Vegan - Black Chickpeas Salad with Coriander

Image
The weather is so changeable at the moment, its gone all warm again. I came home a little earlier than usual and wanted to eat something quite light, hence this Black Chickpeas Salad with Coriander. Of course, this was not going to be enough as a meal for two, so alongside the Black Chickpeas Salad with Coriander, I made a Tomato Tarte Tatin.   It made for a nice change.  The feta here is optional, I used it as that is what I had in the fridge, but you could substitute it with halloumi cheese or if your going for a vegan or dairy free option, perhaps smoked tofu.  I think you need a soft texture with the nutty black chickpeas and the fragrant herb brings it all together. What I like about this salad too, it that it is quite seasonal in colours - going all autumnal, but also a perfect salad to knock up for a Halloween feast if you are planning a vegan or vegetarian Black Food Menu .   Please don't worry too much if you can't find black chickpeas where you a...

Healthy Vegan - Retro Vegan Hand Raised Pie for Sharing

Image
Yesterday's prompt was reach out! make a new vegan friend and tell us about it.  Its one of the reasons I am participating in Vegan Mofo and for me that is reaching out.  Saying that its also nice to be reacquainted with Rose from Dandylion Vegan Blog and if I had to tell you about a lovely vegan friend, there are quite a few in my real life and quite a few that I have met on blogosphere, so to single one out would be unfair. I love them all in different ways, they know who they are.   And today's prompt is most retro recipe.  I have a couple of recipes that I consider to be retro on my blog, some are vegan like this Lemon Cherry Tofu Cheesecake and this  Chilli Chocolate Tofu Cheesecake , but many other retro recipes are vegetarian.  Some of course can easily be veganized like this retro Kiev's , but instead I am sharing these two rather large vegan Hand Raised Pies, its irrelevant what is in these vegan pies, its more about the size, because this tim...
