Goat Cheese salad

Original recipe: my veggie book

Ease: Very easy
Time needed: 15 mins
Modifications: None

I eat goat cheese salad in restaurants all the time, but it never occured to me to make it myself. Possibly because cheese-centered meals are not very popular in my household. This salad was super quick to go throw together. I put some chopped walnuts on the cheese as a quick crust and left it in the oven (and finally under the grill) for 10 minutes or so. Topped it off with a truffle olive oil and white wine vinegar dressing with plenty of honey (and a bit of lemon juice) mixed in. Very tasty.

4/5, will make again!

 

Onion soup

Original recipe (from the veggie cookbook I got for my birthday)

Ease: Very easy
Time needed: 30 mins
Modifications: None

Easy onion soup, but still pretty tasty. The thing with the floaty cheesy bread bit never quite works out but it makes for a nice lunch!

No-bake cheesecake

Original recipe

A cheesecake that does’t take a day to make? Count me in!

Ease: Easy
Time needed: 1/2 hour + however long you want to leave it in the fridge
Modifications: Speculaas for the crust

This is a sweet little cake, perfect for summer because it’s so fresh, chilled and light. It does feel a bit like eating tremendously light and tasty butter, though. But that means it’s good, right?

3/5, will make again

 

Mac and cheese

 Original recipe

Now that I’m a full-time non-meateater, I figured I should get some new vegetarian recipes going. I’m not a big Jaimie Oliver fan, but he does have a very nice list of vegetarian recipes. So here we go!

Ease: Medium
Time needed: 1 hour
Modifications: None

Not really a healthy meal, but it is a very nice comfort-food, kind of remeniscent of the pork&tomato macaroni we would make when I was a kid. Yum!

3/5, will make again

 

Veggie tajine

Original recipe

We don’t have the real tajine pan but that nice construction basically just comes down to simmering something with the lid on, doesn’t it?

Ease: Easy
Time needed: 1 hour
Modifications: Three color lentils instead of chickpeas (they were out at the store), ground cumin instead of ground seeds

This was nice! I thought the sweet potato was a bit bland but all-together it was a nice quick stew of Moroccan sweetness.

3/5, will make again
