Vegan Sweet Potato and Bean Stew with Spaghetti

Vegan Sweet Potato and Bean Stew with Spaghetti

This has been my go to meal for a while, switching it up with a few different veg. It's so yummy! There are two ways of making this meal, the long way would be to put everything in a pan and leave it for 45 mins. The quick way would be to microwave the potato and carrot before adding to the rest of the ingredients.

(Serves 1-2)

Ingredients:

1 medium sweet potato

1 large carrot

4 tbsp sweetcorn

2 tbsp peas

1/2 can kidney beans

3 stalks cavolo kale 

1/2 tbsp tomato purée 

1 tsp curry powder

1/3 tsp mixed herbs

1 tbsp flour (gf or wheat)

100g spaghetti (gf or wheat)

1 tbsp fresh coriander 

1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)

In a microwavable bowl add the peeled (optional) and diced sweet potato and carrot along with a few tbsp of water. Cover with cling film and cook for about 5 minutes on full power. Meanwhile, in a pan add the kidney beans and juices, spices, tomato purée, sweetcorn, peas, kale and enough water to cover. Bring to the boil and add the cooked root veggies. Mix the flour in a cup with cold water to form a paste and stir in. Cook the spaghetti by bringing a small pan quarter full to the boil and twisting the spaghetti in half to fit in the pan. Cook for 12 mins, drain and serve topped with nutritional yeast and coriander. Delicious!

Broccoli & Kidney Bean Chilli

Broccoli & Kidney Bean Chilli

I made this super tasty meal today all from ingredients I had in my freezer and cupboard. I really fancied rice too so this is what I came up with. 

(Serves 1)

Ingredients:

6 florets of frozen broccoli

1 can kidney beans 

1 tbsp tomato purée 

1 tsp chilli powder

1 tsp curry powder 

100g rice 

1 tbsp flour (gf or wheat) 

Boil the kettle and in a pan add the rice and in another pan add the broccoli, beans (and juices), spices and tomato purée. Pour the boiling water over the rice until well covered (about 300ml) and also fill the other pan too until well covered. Bring both to the boil and simmer until cooked (about 12 minutes). In a cup add the flour and mix with cold water to form a runny paste and stir into the sauce. This will thicken it.  Once the rice is fluffy and broccoli tender serve! 

Hope you enjoy!
