Welcome to the Round Up for  'Eat Your Greens' .     This is a monthly vegetarian and vegan cooking challenge for food bloggers  to make something with a green vegetable (or fruit) each month.   I begin with something light,   Janet from the Taste Space shared with us   Pickle and Green Bean Potato Salad .  Janet says the original recipe called for asparagus but she used green beans and it worked fantastically. This salad would be perfect for a buffet or even a lunch box.  The lovely Johanna from Green Gourmet Giraffe shares with us Spaghetti with Silverbeet and Cauliflower Grematola, which is packed with loads of Chard. I couldn't resist her quirky way of presenting her homemade vegan Parmesan, go on over and check it out, as well as the recipe. And she asserts,the vegan Parmesan makes such a difference to this pasta dish. The Veg Hog shares with us a warm bowl of  Pickle and Green Bean Potato Salad .  Janet says...

Welcome to January's edition of Eat Your Greens.  This is a monthly vegetarian and vegan cooking challenge for food bloggers  to make something with a green vegetable (or fruit) each month.   The first recipe comes from the charming Dom from  Flower Sprout and Brie Mini Filo Pies.   Some of you may remember last month myself and The VegHog both made flower sprout recipes for Eat Your Greens , so its lovely to see it here encased in filo pastry, a recipe which reminds Dom of his Greek Island magical holidays.  Dom describes this as a mega easy spanakopita style treats and I can totally see why? in place of the spinach flower sprouts and in place of the feta cheese - stinky brie! Next we have  Swiss Chard Roulades which encase nutty Pearl Spelt Risotto.  I just love the colourful stripes in the rainbow chard.  Sadhna from Herbs, Spices and Traditions shares with us some awesome vegetarian  Spinach Balls in tomato Curry ...

Its been a little while since I have made stew with fluffy herby dumplings.  And the atrocious weather on Sunday kept me indoors and in the kitchen, cooking up some advanced meals for the working week ahead, this Butternut Squash, Kale and Sweetcorn Stew was one of them.  I think stews, casserole and ragout type dishes are best made a day or two in advance for the flavours to embrace the chosen vegetables.  So when I got in from work, all I had to do was put the stew on the hob to start warming through and as it does, begin making the dumplings  which only takes moments to whip up - really - dropping the uneven shaped balls on top. Put the lid back on and allowing the vegetable suet to do its magic, fluff up and almost double in size in the steamy bubbling heat.    I have written about suet before, click here if you want to learn more. The dumplings could be kept plain or just with herbs, but I wanted a little cheesyness without the greasy weight and t...

This would make a lovely working lunch. White Risotto with Cavolo Nero .  Its lemony and bitter from the kale.  Did you know that Cavolo Nero has many names - Tuscan Kale, black Kale and Dinosa...

Its the end of September and you know what this means, #Eat Your Greens Round up.   We have six super vegetarian and vegan recipes, all very different and all inspiring.    The first Eat Your Greens recipe for Pesto Pasta Primavera comes from Kimmy who blogs over at Rock My Vegan Socks.  She actually shared it with #EatYourGreens last month, but we missed her out, she was very understanding as these things happen, and out of courtesy I thought I would share her recipe for Pesto Pasta Primavera first.  This dish was created out of Kimmys love for fresh basil and light food, most of the ingredients came from her local farmers market including the broccoli and artichokes.  I want to tuck in, do you?! The second recipe comes from Cheryl who blogs over at Madhouse Family Review.  Cheryl shares Moroccan Spiced Courgettes , a twist on traditional ratatouille. Courgettes can be quite bland but smothered in a richly spices tomato sauce elevates co...
