To a heated pot add the olive oil and onions. Fry the onion for 3 to 4 minutes or until soft. Add the finely chopped garlic, chili flakes and fry on medium-low heat for about 1 minute or until fragrant. CAREFUL NOT TO BURN THE GARLIC. Add the tomato paste and fry on medium heat for about 1 to 2 minutes to cook out the raw flavour of the tomato paste. Now add the chopped mushrooms, salt to taste, fresh thyme and ground black pepper. Adding salt will release the water from the mushrooms, so fry until the water from the mushrooms has evaporated. It will take about 6 minute or so. Add the all purpose flour and fry on medium to medium-low heat (depending on the heat of your stove) for about 2 minutes to get rid of the raw taste of the flour. Be careful not to burn it.
Add the vegetable broth and stir until all the flour is mixed into the broth this will prevent any flour lumps in the sauce. Bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, cover the lid and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes.
Open the lid and turn the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Add the cream (plant based) and cook for about another 1 minute or to the desired consistency. Turn off the heat and add some freshly ground pepper and finely chopped parsley. Mix well. Cover the lid and let it rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving. Serve with rice, pasta, mashed potatoes or crusty bread. Enjoy!
✅ 👉 HERE’S THE GARLIC FRIED RICE RECIPE FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO: https://youtu.be/LPz-bjrIu1c
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 After adding the Vegetable broth – STIR UNTIL ALL THE FLOUR IS MIXED INTO THE BROTH. This will prevent any flour lumps in the gravy
👉 Every stove is different so adjust/regulate the heat and cooking time accordingly

Once the rice is cooked, uncover the pan. Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and mix it VERY GENTLY to prevent the the rice grains from breaking. DO NOT OVER MIX THE RICE OTHERWISE IT WILL TURN MUSHY. Cover the lid and allow it to rest for 5 minutes on the stove – before serving.

👉 Adding 1/4 teaspoon salt to onion will release it’s moisture and will help it cooks faster, so please don’t skip this step
👉 THE WATER QUANTITY DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY OF THE RICE SO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY
👉 After adding the garnishes – mix very gently to prevent the rice grains from breaking because the rice grains are very soft and can turn into mush

Cover the lid of the pan and allow the rice to rest for 3 to 4 minutes before serving – for the flavours to blend.

▶️ CHICKPEA RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 servings)
3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
225g / 2 cups Onion – sliced
1+1/2 Tablespoon Garlic – finely chopped
1 Tablespoon Ginger – finely chopped
2 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
1+1/2 Teaspoon Paprika (NOT SMOKED)
1+1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric
1+1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
200g Tomatoes – Blend to a smooth Puree (after being pureed 1 to 1+1/4 Cup approximately)
200g / 1+1/2 cup approx. Carrots – chopped
200g / 1+1/2 cup Red bell pepper approx. – chopped
2 cups / 225g Yellow (Yukon Gold) Potatoes approx. – chopped small (1/2 inch pieces)
4 cups / 900ml Vegetable Broth
Salt to taste
250g / 2 cups approx. Zucchini – chopped (1/2 inch pieces)
120g / 1 cup approx. Green beans – chopped (1 inch long)
2 cups / 1 (540ml) Can – Cooked Chickpeas (drained)
1/2 cup / 20g Fresh Parsley (loosely packed)
👉 Garnish:
Lemon Juice to taste (I have added 1 teaspoon lemon juice)
Drizzle of olive oil (I have added 1/2 tablespoon organic cold pressed Olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Start by blending the tomatoes to a smooth puree. Prep the vegetables and set aside.
To a heated pan add the olive oil, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sweat the onions on medium heat until it’s soft. It will take about 3 to 4 minutes. Adding salt to onion will release it’s moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it. Note we are NOT browning the onions here.
Once the onions are soft, add the chopped garlic and ginger and fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the tomato paste, paprika, ground cumin, turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper and fry for 30 seconds. Now add the fresh tomato puree and mix well. Add the chopped carrots, red bell pepper, yellow potatoes, salt, vegetable broth and mix well. Turn up the heat. Cover and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts to boil, give it a mix and cover the lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 20 minutes. This will allow the potatoes to cook a bit, before we add the quick cooking vegetables to it.
After 20 minutes, uncover and add the zucchini, green beans, cooked chickpeas, parsley and mix well. Now turn up the heat and bring it to a rapid simmer. Once it starts to simmer, cover the lid and cook on medium heat (DO NOT COOK ON LOW HEAT AT THIS POINT) for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked to your liking. COOK UNITL THE VEGETABLES ARE SOFT, but at the same time don’t let it get too mushy.
Uncover and turn the heat to medium high and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or to the desired consistency. PLEASE NOTE – THIS STEW IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE WATERY. It’s more towards the thicker consistency. Turn off the heat. Garnish with fresh lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil and some chopped fresh parsley. Mix well.
✅ 👉 NOTE – THIS STEW IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE WATERY
Serve hot with some pita and couscous.
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
👉 Adding salt while frying the vegetables will release it’s moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it
👉 Every stove is different so regulate the heat as required. Cooking time and intensity of heat may vary depending on the type of stove you are using
👉 THIS STEW IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE WATERY

▶️ QUINOA AND CHICKPEA RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 servings)
1 cup / 190g Quinoa (soaked for about 30 minutes/strained)
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 cups / 275g Onion
200g / 1 cup Carrots
1+1/2 Tbsp / 19 to 20g Garlic – finely chopped
1 Tsp Turmeric
1+1/2 Tsp Ground Coriander
1 Tsp Ground Cumin
1/4 Tsp Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
1/2 cup / 125ml Passata or Tomato Puree
1 cup / 200g Tomatoes – chopped
Salt to taste
200g / 6 to 7 cups Spinach
2 cups / 1 Can COOKED Chickpeas (liquid drained)
350ml / 1+1/2 cup Vegetable Broth / Stock
Ground Black Pepper to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon)
Drizzle of Olive Oil (OPTIONAL) – I have added 1 Teaspoon of organic cold pressed olive oil
▶️ METHOD:
Start by thoroughly washing the quinoa until the water runs clear and then soak in water for about 30 minutes. Once the quinoa is soaked drain the water and let it sit in a strainer. Also, drain 2 cups of home cooked chickpeas or 1 can of cooked chickpeas and allow it sit in the strainer to drain any excess water.
To a heated pan add the olive oil, onion, carrots and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Adding salt to the onions and carrots will release it’s moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it. Fry the onion on medium to medium-high heat until it’s golden brown. You will notice the quantity of the carrots and onions have shrunk in half. Add the chopped garlic and fry for about 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add the spices (Turmeric, Ground Coriander, Ground Cumin, Cayenne Pepper) and fry for a few seconds. Then add the tomato puree or passata, chopped tomatoes, salt to taste and fry for about 3 minutes or until the tomatoes break down completely and form a thick paste.
Add the chopped spinach. Mix well until it wilted, It will take about a minute or so. Then add the soaked quinoa, COOKED chickpeas, vegetable broth/stock and mix well. Bring it to a vigorous boil. Then cover the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook on low heat for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked.
Once the quinoa is cooked, uncover the pan. Increase the heat to medium or medium-high flame and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes to cook out the excess moisture. Turn off the stove. Add freshly ground black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix well. Serve hot.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
???? Thoroughly wash the quinoa, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk/bitterness and will give a cleaner taste to the quinoa
???? Every stove is different SO ADJUST THE HEAT AND COOKING TIME AS REQUIRED
???? Adding salt to onions and carrots will release it’s moisture and will help it cook faster so please don’t skip it
???? Sometimes one batch of quinoa can be more dry than the other, SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY

1/4 Cup / 60ml Passata / Tomato Puree
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
???? Other ingredients:
500g / 4 to 5 Medium Yellow Potatoes (Yukon Gold) – Cut into wedges
2 Cups / 1 Can (398ml Can) COOKED Chickpeas (low sodium)
1+1/2 Tablespoon / 15g to 17g Garlic – Finely chopped
250g Red Onion – 2 small or 1 large red onion – cut into 3/8th Inches thick slices
200g / 1+1/4 Cup Cherry or Grape Tomatoes

3+1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
???? Garnish:
1 Tablespoon / 4g Parsley – finely chopped
1 Tablespoon / 4g Fresh Dill – OPTIONAL – NOTE THAT DILL HAS A UNIQUE FLAVOUR SO IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT – replace with parsley
1 Tablespoon Olive oil (I have added organic cold pressed olive oil)
Freshly Ground black pepper to taste (I have added 1 teaspoon)
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly wash the vegetables. Start by prepping the vegetables. Cut the potatoes into wedges, chop the green beans in 2+1/2 inch pieces, cut the red onion into 3/8th inch thick slices, finely chop the garlic. Drain 1 can (398ml can) of cooked chickpea OR 2 cups of home cooked chickpeas.
PRE-HEAT THE OVEN TO 400 F.
For the dressing – To a bowl, add the passata/tomato puree, vegetable broth / stock, turmeric and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until spices are well combined. Set aside.
To a 9 x 13 inches baking dish transfer the potatoes wedges and spread it out. Then layer with cooked chickpeas, red onion, green beans and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle salt evenly all over the vegetable layers and then pour the dressing evenly over the layered vegetables. Then drizzle the olive oil. Lay a piece of parchment paper on top of the vegetables and then cover with aluminium foil. SEAL IT WELL.
✅ ???? LAYER THE VEGETABLES IN THE SUGGESTED ORDER AS IT WORKS THE BEST. Putting Potatoes and Chickpeas at the bottom will allow them to season and cook properly without the other veggies becoming mushy. SO FOLLOW THE ORDER OF THE LAYERING.
Bake it covered at 400 F in a pre-heated oven for 50 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked. (???? To check if the potatoes are cooked, stick a knife through one of the potatoes. If the potatoes are not cooked – cover and bake for longer). Then remove the baking dish from the oven and remove the aluminum foil /parchment paper covering. Bake it UNCOVERED for another 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and let it sit on a wire rack. Garnish with chopped parsley or/and dill, black pepper and drizzle of olive oil. Give it a gentle mix. BE VERY GENTLE WHILE MIXING THE COOKED VEGETABLES THIS WILL PREVENT THE POTATOES FROM BREAKING. Serve hot with a side of crusty bread or rice or/and a green side salad. This makes 4 to 5 servings.

Salt to taste (I have added total 1+1/2 Teaspoon of pink Himalayan Salt)

quality of rice & vegetables)
Lemon Juice to taste (I have added 1 tablespoon lemon juice I like it a bit sour BUT YOU DO YOU)
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper or to taste
Drizzle of Olive Oil (I added 1 teaspoon of organic cold pressed Olive Oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Wash the basmati rice a few times until the water runs clear to get rid of any impurities. This will give a much better/clean taste to the rice. Then soak for 30 minutes. Once soaked drain the rice and leave it to sit in the strainer to drain any excess water, until ready to use.
Blend cilantro/coriander, spinach leaves, water into a puree. Set aside for later.
✅ ???? USE A WIDE PAN TO COOK THIS DISH
To a heated pan, add cooking oil, onions, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and fry on medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until THE ONIONS ARE GOLDEN BROWN. Adding salt to the onion will release it’s moisture and help it cook faster, so please don’t skip it. Add the chopped garlic, ginger and fry on medium to medium-low heat for about 2 minutes. Add the turmeric, cayenne pepper, garam masala and fry for a few seconds. Add the chopped green beans, carrots and fry on medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the frozen corn, green peas, tomatoes and salt to taste. Fry on medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until the tomatoes soften and disintegrates. Add the soaked/strained basmati rice, spinach puree, 1/2 cup water and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts to boil, then cover the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook on low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked. The cooking time may vary depending on the quality of the rice.
Once the rice is cooked, uncover the pan. Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and mix it VERY GENTLY to prevent the the rice grains from breaking. DO NOT OVER MIX THE RICE OTHERWISE IT WILL TURN MUSHY. Cover the lid and allow it to rest for 5 minutes on the stove – before serving.
Serve hot with your favourite side of protein. This makes 3 SERVINGS.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
???? Thoroughly wash the rice until water runs clear, this will get rid of any impurities and will give a much better/clean taste
✅ ???? USE A WIDE PAN TO COOK THIS DISH. This will cook the rice evenly and prevent it from getting mushy
???? Adding 1/4 teaspoon salt to onion will release it’s moisture and will help it cooks faster, so please don’t skip this step
???? THE WATER QUANTITY DEPENDS ON THE QUALITY OF THE RICE SO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY
???? After adding the garnishes – mix very gently to prevent the rice grains from breaking because the rice grains are very soft and can turn into mush
