Brunch stir fry with mushrooms, carrot and almond sauce

A savoury weekend breakky or brunch bowl, drizzled with a creamy almond sauce. This bowl can be made with pretty much ANY veggies/legumes/whole grains really, below you find my basic-bowl-recipe if you want to make your own bowl!

Plant based by Thess Basic bowl recipe

serves 1

1 handful cooked whole grain

1 handful cooked legumes

2-3 vegetables

1 handful leafy greens

1 tiny handful of herbs or micro greens/sprouts/shots

nut/seed based sauce

Brunch stir fry with oyster mushrooms, carrots and almond sauce

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 1/2 dl / 1 cup naked oats or “mathavre”, if using naked oats they need to soak for at least 8 hours or over night

1/2 red onion

100 grams oyster mushrooms

2 carrots

1/2 apple

2 dl / 0.8 cups pre cooked black beans

1 handful organic fresh baby spinach

1 handful fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Almond sauce

1 Tbsp almond butter

1 1/2 Tbsp water

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 pinch flakey salt

For serving

Lentil cracker with seeds and rolled oats

How to

If using naked oats; soak the oats over night, or for at least 8 hour. If you’re using “mathavre” you don’t have to soak them, the packaging will say weather you’d need to soak or not.

Cook the oats according to instructions on the packaging.

Peel and finely chop the onion. Fry in a bit of water in a wok pan until soft. Grate the carrots, tear the mushrooms in to smaller pieces, dice the apple. Add everything to the wok pan and fry for a couple of minutes.

Rinse the black beans. Add to the wok together with the parsley and fry for another couple of minutes. Add the spinach and remove from heat. Smalt and pepper to taste.

Mix the ingredients for the dressing. Salt to taste.

Divide the fry in two bowls, top with extra parsley and drizzle with almond sauce. Serve with a crispy lentil cracker.

Saffron quinoa with brassicas, avocado and pomegranate

Here comes one of my favourite salads for the winter season. Flavours and veggies that reminds me of candlelit dinners, cosy mornings and Christmas gatherings - all tossed together in to this recipe!

If you ask me every festive buffet requires a semi raw salad - a salad where at least most of the components are raw - great thing as that will add lots of texture and freshness which goes very well with basically anything. Cook the quinoa prior to serving and massage/shave/slice/deseed the rest of the components (preferably put the brassica i ice cold water to get them really crispy!)- then just toss it all together just before serving!

Saffron quinoa with brassica, avocado and pomegranate

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

3 dl / 1.2 cups white quinoa

0.25 grams saffron, ground

100 gram kale (you might want to use black kale instead of kale if you’re pairing this one with my pumpkin tray recipe from the previous post)

50 gram red cabbage

1 fennel

1 avocado, sliced

1 pomegranate, deseeded

1 dl / 0.4 cups mixed seeds and nuts, toasted

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

flakey salt

How to

Cook the quinoa according to instructions on the packaging, together with the saffron.

Cut away the thick bottom steam of the kale, tear the leafs in to smaller pieces. Since they’ll the added raw to the salad you want the pieces to be quite small. Massage with olive oil and a pinch of salt until silky.

Shred the red cabbage thinly using a mandoline, a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife. Trim the fennel bulbs, then shred thinly on the width using a mandoline/vegetable peeler/sharp knife. Put cabbage and fennel in ice cold water for 20 minutes - this will make them extra crispy!

Toss together the cooked saffron quinoa, kale, cabbage, avocado, pomegranate and seeds/nuts!

Baked cabbage with shaved fennel, apple, herb oil and toasted sunflower seeds

This is a salad perfect for a festive buffet - or a side to any meal really! The simplicity of baked cabbage, the flavours and textures which arises when being baked is extraordinary!! It’s silky, sweet and just v.e.r.y. tasty! Drizzle the whole thing with a lovely green oil and toss with a couple of hand fulls of shaved crispy vegges and fruits for great textures and flavours - and you’re good to go!

During winter I would probably use kale (which I massage with cold pressed rapeseed oil and a pinch of salt) instead of the fennel - and when you want to vary the recipe you can use any citrus fruit instead (or together with the) of the apples. Anyhow - the cabbage is key!

Baked cabbage with shaved fennel, apple, herb oil and toasted sunflower seeds

Serves 4-6 as a side salad

Ingredients

1 cabbage (preferably fresh cabbage, or pointy cabbage)

1 fennel

2 red apples

1 dl / 0.4 US cups sunflower seeds

1 tbsp rape seed oil

fresh thyme for garnish

Herb oil

1 dl / 0.4 US cups cold pressed rapeseed oil

1 dl / 0.4 US cups fresh herbs (e.g parsley, thyme, mint)

1 garlic clove

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to

Pre heat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius / 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the cabbage in pieces, drizzle with oil. Put on a baking tray and bake in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes, until the cabbage is all silky and sweet - but still have that bite to it. Let cool.

Put the sunflower seeds on a baking tray. Toast in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes, until a nutty aroma fills the kitchen. Stir around halfway through. Let cool.

Mix all the ingredients for the herb oil (I tend to use the herbs I have at home, so every herb oil gets different). Salt and pepper to taste.

Toss the cabbage with half of the herb oil. Shave the fennel and apples using a mandoline, or slice thinly using a sharp knife. Layer the cabbage, fennel and apples and most of the sunflower seeds on a serving plate. Drizzle som extra herb oil on top and sprinkle with the rest of the sunflower seeds. Garnish with fresh thyme.

Roasted carrots and parsnips with ginger tahini dressing and pomegranate

Roasted baby carrots + baby parsnips. Drizzled with a ginger tahini dressing. And sprinkled with toasted almonds, lots of fresh herbs and fruity pomegranate seeds. Easy peasy planty side for ANY occasion!!

AND, if you want to make it a main dish you could serve with some cooked grains of your choice (quinoa, wild rice, sorghum, millet etc) and some kind of protein packed spread, for example my sweet potato and roasted garlic hummus (might be my favourite one in the world) or my Pea and cilantro hummus.

Roasted carrots and parsnips with ginger tahini dressing and pomegranate

4-6 servings, as a green side

Ingredients

500 g new season/baby carrots/carrots bought in a bunch (you could use any type of carrot really, but I find that the baby ones are even better for this recipe as I prefer to roast them whole - and with the peel on)

10 baby parsnips (see note on carrots above, same thing here)

2 dl / 0.8 US cups fresh parsley

2 dl / 0.8 US cups pomegranate seeds

1 dl / 0.4 US cups almonds

1 tbsp rapeseed oil

unrefined sea salt

Ginger tahini dressing

1/2 dl / 0.2 US cups light tahini (I prefer to use tahini made of non roasted sesame seeds as the flavour is not as sharp as if you would use a dark tahini)

3/4 dl / 0.3 US cups water

zest from 1 organic lemon + 2 tbsp freshly pressed lemon juice

1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

unrefined sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to

Pre heat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius / 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the carrot tops if there are any (these ones are GREAT to use in a home made pesto, smoothie or herb hummus!). Scrub the carrots and parsnips (if the peel on the parsnips is too thick you might want to peel them - otherwise it’s great to leave on).

Put the root veggies on a baking tray and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with salt. Roast in the middle of the oven for about 35 minutes, until they are slightly golden and the peel is slightly crispy.

Put the almonds on a baking tray. Roast in the middle of the oven for about 10 minutes, until a nutty aroma fills the kitchen. Stir around halfway through. Let cool.

Mix all the ingredients for the ginger tahini dressing using a blender/immersion blender. Salt and pepper to taste.

Put the roasted veggies on a serving plate, drizzle over ALL (important part, the dressing is great) the dressing. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, almonds and pomegranate seeds. And some flakey salt!

Best,

Thess

Roasted butternut squash and parsnip salad with turmeric cauliflower, shaved fennel and kale crisps

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 butternut squash

1 cauliflower

250 g parsnips

200 g kale

230 g (about 4 dl / 1.6 US cups) pre cooked chickpeas

1 fennel

1 tsp mild curry blend (choose your favourite!)

2 tsp dried cilantro

1 tbsp cold pressed olive oil

flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Avocado mash

2 avocados

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 

a handful of fresh mint, finely chopped

flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

How to

Pre heat the oven to 175 degrees celsius / 345 degrees Fahrenheit.

Peel, remove the seeds and dice the butternut squash in 2x2 cm pieces. Tear the cauliflower in to smaller florets (and keep the light leaves - the are delicious to roast as well). Scrub the parsnips, cut in half. Rinse the chickpeas, then dry them with kitchen paper. 

Cut away the thick bottom steam of the kale, tear the leafs in to smaller pieces. Massage with olive oil and a pinch of salt until silky. Put half of the kale on your serving platter, the rest is going in to the oven when about 5-7 minutes remains on the roasted veggies.

Put the butternut squash, cauliflower, parsnips and chickpeas on a baking tray (separated), drizzle with olive oil. Massage the cauliflower florets + leaves and chickpeas with the curry blend. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the veggies are slightly golden and crispy around the edges but still have that al dente taste to them. Add half of the massaged kale when 5-7 minutes remains. Toss everything with the dried cilantro once out of the oven.

Shave the fennel using a mandoline or cut thinly using a sharp knife. Peel and pit the avocado, mash, with vinegar and finely chopped fresh mint, using a fork. Salt and pepper to taste.

Layer all the ingredients on a big serving plate. Top with dollops of the avocado mash. Sprinkle with flakey salt.
