Bone-in beef short ribs braised, low and slow in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, shallots, thyme, beef broth and coconut sugar until they are fall-off-the-bone tender and juicy, perfect for serving atop a Parmesan mashed pumpkin-- a hearty dish that's comforting on a chilly evening. You can also make this in a slow cooker for 4-5 hours at low, then thicken the sauce with a little cornstarch. I served it with a Parmesan mashed pumpkin to keep it low-carb, but you can enjoy it with mashed potatoes, parsnip, or cheesy polenta if carbs ain’t an issue for you. Replace some beef stock with red wine or dark beer if you like.

These red lentil-based deli slices are a game-changer! Packed with protein (though not the complete protein), flavour, and deliciousness, they’re a perfect addition to your plant-based diet, plus they are incredibly budget friendly and also so easy to customize with your favorite spices and seasonings. Instead of paprika paste, you can also try pureeing a small beetroot with lentil for the pinkish colour. Sandwich the cold cuts with some sourdough bread or pan-sear the thicker slabs until golden (just like you do with bologna) and serve them over your favourite salad or simply enjoy them just as they are. Store the rest in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them. I made this plain, but you can add in some chopped olives, pickled green peppers or pistachios before pouring into the pitcher.

Tender, succulant chicken thighs with warm Moroccan spices, preserved lemons and cauliflower rice pilaf. Preserved lemons pickled in lemon juice and sea salt, adding a wonderful complexity to any dish, are a pantry staple of North African cuisine and have a unique lemon flavour without any of the bitter, tart characteristics of fresh lemons. Cauliflower rice pilaf is a low carb version of a rice pilaf made with finely chopped cauliflower. You can also serve them with regular rice or couscous for a filling meal.

It’s naturally gluten free, budget friendly and packed with nutrients thanks to the wholesome ingredients like red lentils, labneh, Parmesan, eggs, olive oil and parsley. The lentil bread usually stays fresh for about 3 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You can slice and freeze them though. Soak the red lentils for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

A super fragrant, tasty and very easy side dish or vegetarian main meal which is dairy and gluten free. A great veggie version of the classic tikka masala. Besides chickpeas, you can also use peas or kidney beans. I airfryed the eggplants, but if you prefer a lovely char and smoky flavour, then cooked the eggplants in a griddle pan.

Falafel is a dish that, when prepared well, can be exceptionally delicious. Or completely inedible. For me, falafel must be hot and really crispy on the outside, but soft and slightly fluffy within, yet still juicy. The seasoning must also be just right: chickpeas tend to absorb the flavour of their accompanying ingredients, making them really versatile. However, you don’t want to overpowers the delicious flavour of the chickpeas by over-seasoning. The grated butternut pumpkin adds a little sweetness and keeps these little treats from drying out. The falafels can be baked in the oven, airfried, or shallow-fried, but deep-frying proves the best option and creates a crispy exterior while keeping the interior moist. These falafels are delicious, perfect to share, and naturally gluten free. Enjoy them in a salad, stuffed inside pita pocket, or on their own.

These simple herbs loaded fritters, served with an even simpler garlicky yoghurt sauce, are from South-Eastern Turkey. I used chickpea flour to make them gluten free, but you definitely can use plain flour if you have no issues with gluten. Serve them hot while still very crispy, but they are very tasty even warm or cold.

These adorable carrot-shaped flaky pastries are filled with a delectable roasted carrot hummus—they can be filled with herbed cheese or tuna cream if you ain’t into hummus and would make a fun starter or snack.
If you don’t have those cone-shaped moulds, make your own with aluminum foil and baking paper. Cut a regular baking paper into 4 rectangles. Roll up each rectangle into a funnel and secure the baking paper at the sides with a stapler. To make the funnel a little more stable, place a small ball of aluminium foil in the funnel and press the top ends of the baking paper roughly into the funnel.

Full of zing, crunch and fresh flavour, this recipe is a great way to use up some leftover homemade falafel. Whether it’s for breakfast, brunch or a quick snack, it’s a dish to enjoy with your family and friends. It is wonderful to enjoy it as a salad, but equally delicious stuffed into pitta pockets or with charred wraps. It’s very easy to make falafel at home, either using soaked chickpeas, or canned one for ease, and they can be fried, baked or airfried. Or just buy a pack of those premix and you will have the dinner in 30 minutes.
