This is a very simple lunch that it prefect for the hot weather we’re currently having. This is not a strict tabbouleh recipe (which are typically parsley-based with bulgur wheat), but more my interpretation of it. I’ve chosen quinoa as the base because you can easily get it already cooked in packets at your local supermarket, making this a very quick and easy meal to put together. It is the only thing in the dish that is cooked, the rest is raw salad served in the bread of your choosing.
You can enjoy it at home in your garden, or you can make it in the evening and take it into work with you the next day (the flavours are amazing the day after), either way this is a fantastic light meal for any day of the week.

Vegan Enchiladas
To veganise something like Enchiladas now is incredibly easy with the variety of ingredients available in most supermarkets. For this one I have used fresh vegan mince, along with mushrooms and onions for the chilli base. Don’t worry if you don’t like eating vegan mince, you can always substitute this chilli for my Sweet Potato,…
Spanish Lentils with Vegan Chorizo and Black Pudding
I first tried this dish about 25 years ago, when my Spanish girlfriend made it for me in a bedsit we shared in North London back in the mid-nineties. It was cooked on one of those old Baby Belling stoves that you would often see in bedsits back in those days (they might still have…
Vegan Fudge Cookies
We’ve been enjoying packets of vegan fudge in our house for quite a while now and a recent conversation with my wife got me thinking about how great it would be to have the fudge in a cookie, just like it was chocolate chip. This recipe is the product of that discussion: a very simple…
Potato, Courgette and Leek Gratin
With the products available now, a traditional gratin is very easy to turn into a vegan meal. Having good quality alternatives to butter, milk, cream and cheese are essential to giving the gratin its uniquely rich flavour. Thankfully, all of these are now easily obtainable in most supermarkets, giving us the option of having a…
Aubergine Parmigiana
The first thing you will notice when you look at this recipe for vegan Aubergine Parmigiana is that I haven’t used any vegan parmesan cheese. This was a personal choice because I thought the cheese I was using (vegan Cathedral City) had an intense enough flavour that I didn’t need it. That doesn’t mean that…
Sri Lankan Style Vegan ‘Chicken’ and Courgette Curry with Coconut Rotis
This is really three recipes in one. The first part of the recipe is the Ceylon curry powder, which is used as the main spice blend for this dish. The second part is the curry itself and the third is coconut rotis that the curry is served with. Ceylon curry powders can vary depending on…
