A simple and tasty aubergine stew with chickpeas simmered in a garlicky tomato sauce from Lebanon. Traditonally, the aubergine would have been deep-fried in copious amounts of olive oil. I chose to airfry them with avocado oil which I need to use up soon, and it’s easier and less messy. Great as an appetizer, topping for some crusty bread or flatbread or as a main course. It can be served warm or at room temperature. Baharat, an Arabic spice mix, gives the maghmour the necessary zing and makes it really tasty.

These naturally gluten free falafel taste super delicious and a little different to the classic version using canned chickpeas and incorporating chia and pistachios into the mixture. Plus they are baked instead of fried, making them perfect for those who don’t want to deal with deep frying in their kitchen. Serve them with yoghurt dressing or hummus and some seasonal salad. Alternatively, tuck them into pitta pockets with yoghurt dressing and coleslaw.

Budget-friendly, healthy and versatile, these charred sweetheart cabbage with white beans and freshly grated Parmesan will be a favourite on your dinner table in no time at all. Use savoy if you can’t find sweetheart cabbage and cannellinis are a great substitute for butter beans.
Sweetheart, also known as pointed cabbage or hispi cabbage, is a part of the cruciferous vegetable family, but milder, sweeter and more salad-like in taste and texture, and it also cooks faster.

Dhansak is a popular Indian dish with it's roots in Persian cuisine. Traditionally, dhansak curry is made with mutton or goat, lentils and vegetables.

What a simple yet flavourful treat: this lentil curry with pasta provides you with new energy and fills you up without making you feel unwell. The nutty creamy red lentils combined with sweet tangy tomato and aromatic curry are simply brilliant. The secret is that you first roast the lentils with spices so that the smoky flavour can develop. You can serve the curry with pasta or rice.

This warm salad of spicy prawns, chickpeas and pine nuts comes together in just 15 minutes and requires very little effort. I used a small chilli pepper for a little heat, leave it out if you don't like. Swap the arugula for baby spinach or mâche and pinenuts for cashews or hazelnuts. Enjoy it with some homemade bread or cooked wholegrains.

Fancy a change and lots of colour in the morning? Then you should these beetroot pancakes for a vital start to the day. Not only are they beautiful to look at, they are also made with some healthy ingredients. You don't have to compromise on flavour and sweetness even if you are trying to cut back the consumption of refined white sugar. These pancakes are sweetened with honey and if you want it sweeter, then serve them with maple syrup. In case you want to avoid sugar completely, I would recommend using erythritol or xylitol, which gives a more natural sweetness and mouth feel.
Beetroot is very healthy and always looks great when used to colour food. The bright red colour is simply special. Any cooked beetroot works, use roasted beetroot if you prefer a deeper purple colour and richer flavour. I used chickpea flour as an alternative to wheat flour. This makes these pancakes lower in carbohydrates and richer in fibre, as well as being gluten-free.

In the 19th century, sauces made “a la Diane” were dedicated to Diana the Rome goddess and was originally served as an accompaniment to venison, giving it a luxurious and rich flavour. The sauce is mainly made with shallots, Dijon mustard, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and cream. It was originally cooked tableside and sometimes flambéed. Though the sauce is a classic accompaniment to meat dishes, you can certainly use the sauce for vegetables too. This recipe, adapted from Taste, put a vegetarian spin on it with a carnival pumpkin (the skin of a carnival squash is entirely edible), lentils and oyster mushrooms. You can use other wild mushrooms like shiitake, chanterelles or just regular button mushrooms.

With this salad, you don't have to choose between nutrients-dense black lentils and sweet potatoes. Together with some fresh herbs and a poached egg, you can expect a real flavour experience. If you can't find beluga lentils, use French puy lentils. They both share the same size and texture and also hold their shape well when cooked. When poaching eggs, use the FRESH ones, ideally at room-temperature, as older eggs tend to have watery egg whites that won't closely surround the yolk when poached.

If you have a high speed blender, use it to make tahini. Otherwise use your food processor. Just keep in mind using a food processor will take lots of time, it took me almost two hours, because I took short breaks in between to prevent my food processor from overheating, and you should scrape down the sides every now and then. You don't have to toast the sesame seeds, but toasting process is what helps the seeds to release their oils, thus making them easier to blend.
Hummus, originating in the Middle East, has been gaining popularity all over the world as this dip is very delicious and versatile. You can make a chorizo hummus bowl, or a hummus using chickpea flour, or cauliflower hummus, or this beautiful pink beet hummus. So here is my new addtion: Black Tahini Hummus. Garnish with your favourite toppings and serve with crackers, pita or crudites. Leftover hummus will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Black tahini has a stronger flavour than the traditional white one, so when working with it, you need to add some sweetness to cut through that flavour. For this tahini, I added 2 teaspoons of maple syrup. Use black garlic if you can find them, otherwise, regular garlic works just fine.
