    Recipe Pumpkin and Marrow Tagine

    I adore Moroccan tagines (stews) and they work incredibly well as vegetarian/vegan dishes. This one combines two kinds of 'squash' - earthy sweet pumpkin (or butternut squash), with the fresh rather watery taste of vegetable marrow or courgettes (zucchini). To get the pretty striped effect on...

    Recipe Chickpea, aubergine and pomegranate salad

    Chickpea Salad with Tahini

    I finally tried a recipe I pinned a while back for chickpea salad with cucumbers and tomato. I had a large can of chickpeas (AKA garbanzo beans) and a jar of tahini that needed to be used. I only had one lemon (needed juice from two) and I was out of olive oil, so I had to improvise a bit. I...

    Chickpea patties

    Recently I made a burger pattie out of chickpeas instead of blackbeans. I ground up the chickpeas, added an egg, seasonings and browned it just as I would a blackbean burger. The pattie was good and better when I added spicey brown mustard to it. The chickpea pattie was better to me than the...
