Broccoli and soy cream linguini

I know this is a really easy and simple recipe that might not even be worth putting on a blog, but I thought that it was important to show how good vegan cream is. I hadn't given it a try until a couple of months and I am amazed. I tried Oat cream first because I didn't like soy milk, but I wasn't very impressed. I am loving soy cream!

So, ingredients: (I made it for two people which for me is half a packet of pasta)

1 tablespoon of olive oil/vegetable oil (is up to you)
1 chopped onion
3 cloves of garlic
half a brocolli, just cut the florets
1 carton of soy cream (or as much or as little cream as you like)
half a packet of linguini
pepper
cayenne pepper

Depending in how cooked you like broccoli start before or after you put the pasta in boiling water, most pastas take around 10 min. I like to start before because I like brocoli with a bit of bite but not too much. So in a pan with hot oil but the garlic, stir and add the onion. When they are both a bit cooked, a bit translucent, add the brocoli florets and stir until almost cooked to your taste and add the cream, pepper and cayenne. Once the sauce is warm and the pasta ready, serve and eat!!

PS: I made it again today with leek instead of onion because I didn't have any and it was just as nice. I think is my favourite pasta recipe right now :)

Black Bean Soup and Homemade Tortillas

Hello vegan lovers, Today I made Black Bean Soup and Homemade Flour Tortillas for my family. The tortillas are really different from the ones you get in the store, they are a little bit thicker and the have a lot more taste, they are soooo much nicer! The recipes are really easy and really nice, I think the hardest ingredient to find is the black beans, but if you live in the UK Morrisons usually has them or try an Asian supermarket. Ingredients: (for 2-4 servings) two cans of black beans (400 gr), rinsed 1 chopped medium onion 4 chopped cloves of garlic 1 chopped pepper (I prefer green) 1 chopped chili (depending on how spicy you like it choose a different kind of chili) 1 cube of vegetable stock 1 can of chopped tomatoes 1 tsp of cumin some chili powder water salt fresh coriander (cilantro) For the flour tortillas: 2 cups of plain flour salt 1/4 cup of vegan spread (butter substitute, usually made of soya, for example "Alpro soya spread") a...

Tofulicious Thai Style Stir-Fry

Although this recipe is in no way my own I thought I should share it , since two opinions are always better that one. I found the recipe in: http://saffronstreaks.com/recipes/thai-style-stir-fried-tofu-with-basil/ . A food and travel blog that I had never encountered before, but it looks good, and I tell you what - the pictures are way better than mine. Anyway, back to the cooking, this recipe is really delicious and real easy, it took me 10 mins - no kidding. Ingredients: for 2 people Korean Chilli Paste -one packet of tofu cut into cubes -1 red pepper, cut in which any way you prefer, I sliced it and cut it in half. - 2 cloves of garlic, minced - 1 small onion or shallots, as the blog uses - 2 birds eye chilli or chilli paste (I used Korean chilli paste because I love it and the chillies in Austria are not very hot...) - 1 tbsp of dark soy sauce - 2 tbsp of crushed peanuts -1/4 cup of vegetable stock - ideally white pepper - Thai basil, or Italian basil if you...

Sweet quince!!

To be honest I never really liked quince. In Spain we have it as a kind of spread and I hated it. Looking through Skye Gyngell's A year in my kitchen I found a recipe for quince and since they are on season I said why not? It is really really good, I don't particularly have a sweet tooth but this has a great texture, it's not overly sweet and neither is it complicated. It honestly surprised me!! If you are having a dinner party, this is the dish to serve. It's sophisticated and very nice. Serves 4: Ingredients: -4 quinces -115ml of verjuice (about a half a cup), this was easy for me to find because it was Sturm season in Vienna but it can be substituted by apple juice and a bit of lemon juice. -4 tbsp of sugar syrup (half water, half sugar and bring to a boil), if you are not fussy about honey use honey. or agave syrup? -2 cinnamon sticks -1 vanilla pod, split in half lengthways -zest of one lemon -4 bay leaves -soya yoghurt, to serve Method: Prehea...
