INGREDIENTS (in order of video appearance):
1. ONE POT SWEET POTATO & BLACK BEAN CHILI WITH RICE
(makes 4-6 servings)
-1 medium orange sweet potato, cubed into bite sized pieces
-1/2 red onion, sliced
-1 tbsp smokey paprika
-1 tsp ground cumin
-1 tsp dried garlic or garlic powder
-1 can diced tomatoes
-1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
-1 3/4 cup vegetable broth/stock
-1 cup white rice
2. CURRY SATAY NOODLE BOWL
(makes 1 bowl serving + extra sauce)
-rice noodles of choice, cooked then drained & rinsed w/ cool water
-1 small cucumber (I like the Lebanese variety), cut into quarter slices
-1 small carrot, cut into quarter slices
-tempeh or tofu, sliced & marinated in tamari or soy sauce or coconut aminos for at least 10 minutes then baked(200C for 15 min)/air fried(180C for 10 min)/fried(a few minutes each side)
-2 heaped tbsp runny peanut butter
-1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
-1 capful toasted sesame oil
-1 capful rice wine vinegar
-1 tbsp coconut sugar
-1 tsp curry powder
*NOTE: if you want to go even more basic/affordable for the sauce, you can simply use peanut butter, tamari/soy sauce + juice of half of lime, curry powder and a bit of whatever sugar you have. The sesame oil and vinegar are delicious touches but not necessary if you don’t want to spend the $ on them!
3. BAKED WHITE CHEDDAR MAC N’ PEAS
(makes 2 large or 3 smaller servings)
-1 bag of pasta of choice, boiled according to packaging
-1 cup frozen peas
-3 cups baby spinach
-1 medium white potato, peeled then cubed and boiled until soft
-1 cup cashews (or sunflower seeds), soaked in hot water for at least 30 minutes
-1 cup nutritional yeast
-1/2 tsp smokey paprika
-1/2 tsp dried garlic or garlic powder
-salt & pepper to taste
-1 1/4 cups unsweetened plant milk (+ more as needed whilst blending – I used almond in this video, but soy or oat work well too)
*NOTE: baking is completely optional, but if you do I baked mine at 190C (350F) for 15 minutes
