Kitchen | Vegan Loaded Baked Potatoes

I did this dish last Saturday and it immediately became one of my favourites!!

Didn't plan to do a post about it, but when I finished it looked so yummy that I decided to take some snaps and after tasting it I knew I had to share it. I absolutely love it!

The recipe was inspired by Ellen Fisher. With a few changes so it could be more me - just as a matter of personal taste - and the ingredients I had available.

Potatoes:

Preheat the oven 

Well rinsed, some stabs with a fork and boiled for about 5 minutes

Baked on the oven for about 45 min (use a fork to see if it's cooked)

- I baked 2 sweet and 3 regular potatoes

- after 220°C my oven just says 'MAX' and was what I used so I don't know the exact temperature

Stew:

Coconut oil

Garlic

Onion

Carrots

Chickpeas

Black beans

Sweet corn

Tomato sauce

Black pepper

Turmeric

Dry parsley

Water

Salt

Cashew cream: 

1/2 cup raw cashews (previously soaked for about 3 hours)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Water (to desired consistency)

Salt

- just blend everything and you'll get an awesome cream

Guacamole:

Avocado

Lemon juice

Black pepper

Onion (finely diced)

Salt

This is seriously amazing!! Please give it a try :)

Kitchen | Rice & Vegan Stew

Simple as cooking rice and mixing some veggies! That's it and I love it

I always do the stew differently. I add and switch some things up so I can find my favourite version.

In my recent adjustments, I've been adding coconut oil instead of no oil or olive oil, kale (that I found for the first time) and potatoes. And this version has been my favourite for a couple of weeks now

For the Stew:

coconut oil

garlic (finely cut) 

 onion (finely cut)

carrots (sliced) 

kale (sliced) 

potatoes (diced)

black beans (already cooked)

chickpeas (already cooked)

tomato sauce

black pepper

turmeric 

salt

water 

And then basically just throw everything on a pan, let it cook and it's done

- I like to saute the garlic, onion and carrots with the coconut oil

- Then I add a bit of water, the kale and diced potatoes letting for about 5 minutes so they can start to cook

- Add the rest of the ingredients and let the magic happens 

- I keep adding water if need so it doesn't get dry and when the carrots, kale and potatoes are cooked the stew is ready to eat

For the amount of each ingredient, I seriously have no idea because I never measure. I just add more of what I like most and spices to taste

Meanwhile, you should have cooked the rice so you can now enjoy the combination :)
As for the rice, I like it plain. No oil or salt, just water and rice cooked on a pan.
