We take the humble breadcrumb-and-cheese topped baked gratin and give it an earthy autumnal twist. Turnips are really cheap and they are surprisingly delicious and add the best texture ever once cooked. We also love them in soups and stews, but this pear and turnip gratin is must for meat-free Monday this week.
So we thought making French toast from frozen waffles would be a great idea, and we weren’t disappointed! We decided to go with warm savoury flavours to complement the cooling weather. You don’t even have to make these French toast waffles from the frozen ones, we included a basic waffle recipe below if you’d rather make your own.
These babies are fully loaded with all our favourite Mediterranean ingredients. For these stuffed mushrooms, we used portobellos because they are shaped like upside-down umbrellas, making them perfect for filling. But you can use any large flat mushroom.
If you are super active during the day or have a vigorous fitness routine, you’ll need to recharge your batteries with plenty of lean protein and veggies. Enter our vegetarian crustless quiche! Get your protein fix from the eggs and we all know how great broccoli is for you. Plus oats are great for assisting you with maintaining sustained blood glucose levels.
Beautiful squashes are coming into season soon and there’s no reason you shouldn’t use the whole veggie. A butternut salad is great for autumn and winter because it can be served slightly warm and still taste super delicious. This salad is easy to make, makes use of rich, comforting ingredients such as pear and blue cheese, and doesn’t waste a scrap of butternut.
Waste not, want not! This is wonderfully creative option to serve your guests as a starter or a side option. You can leave the carrot salad slightly warm for the colder months and save when you buy your carrots with their tops still attached from your local market. And if you have some leftover, you can add them to your salad as leafy greens. They are especially delicious sautéed with olive oil and garlic.
This meat-free meal is packed with plant protein and plenty of nutrients as well! And as if a grain salad for dinner isn’t delicious enough, toast your couscous in a frying pan for a few minutes before cooking for an intense nutty flavour that will carry your couscous tabbouleh to new heights.
If you are looking for a great appetiser the next time you have guests over, a cheesy focaccia always goes down well. We love it because people can grab a slice and walk around and mingle without needing a plate. And our meat-free roast veg and feta flatbread will be a hit all round.
This is the budget-friendly, vegetarian burger meal you’ve been waiting for. We have all the good things: potato wedges, a salad full of avocado and some scrumptious lentil burgers. Dinner is served!
Take a break from chicken and cheese and stuff those wraps with this vegetarian filling instead. Okay, we would never leave out the cheese. But with mushies, baby marrows, red onion and healthy mozzarella, this is a guilt-free all rounder.
