Butternut Squash, Parsnip & Kale Soup [vegan]

Chunky & hearty with wonderful flavours, this is such a delicious soup!

Butternut Squash, Parsnip & Kale Soup [vegan] by The Flexitarian

Chunky & hearty with wonderful flavours, I am completely obsessed with this Butternut Squash, Parsnip & Kale Soup. It is delicious and perfect for the cold weather. The spices are very warming and the chickpeas make it a complete meal.

Kale is added just before serving so it stays crunchy but if you wish, you can cook it slightly longer until it wilts. If you prefer not to add kale, then top this soup up with fresh coriander instead.

Serve it with warm crunchy bread and a dash of smoked paprika on top.

Vegan and gluten-free, this flavoursome courgette dip is made with courgettes, tahini, mint and parsley. Delicious with raw vegetables and pitta bread but also perfect in wraps, this dip makes a nice addition to a mezze platter.

Many Middle-Eastern courgette dips use yoghurt but this vegan version is completely dairy-free. Do not hesitate to play around with the amount of mint and parsley to suit your own taste.

Grab the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.

These roasted tomato tartlets are the perfect summer treat  So easy to make and absolutely delicious.  I’ve used @nurishh.uk new Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread. It tastes amazing and adds just the right amount of creaminess to this recipe. |AD|

Free from dairy, Nurishh Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread, available exclusively at Waitrose, is made with sunflower seeds & bamboo fibre. Bursting with flavour, it's rich in fibre and a source of calcium and vitamin B12 - I was really impressed by how tasty it is. Fancy trying it? You are in luck!

Nurishh is running a ‘Try Me Free’* campaign (purchase between 6th June – 14th August, claim by 31st August) where anyone can try any of the following products: Mozzarella Style Block, Cheddar Style Slices, Cheddar & Mozzarella Style Grated Blend, Gran Vegiano, and Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread. Simply purchase a Nurishh product with a ‘Try Me Free’ sticker on the pack from Sainsbury’s, Co-op, Asda, Waitrose or Ocado and submit your receipt & details on www.nurishh-trymefree.com (*T&Cs apply)

It's a really exciting way to try Nurishh for yourself, whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, flexitarian or simply go with the flow. Here is the recipe

INGREDIENTS
320g puff pastry sheet
Dairy-free alternative to milk
400g cherry tomatoes, halved 
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
2 x 130g tub Nurishh Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread
Basil
Balsamic glaze

METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 200C.
- Roll out pastry on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Cut 4 rectangles. Brush with dairy-free alternative to milk.
- With a sharp knife draw a 1.5cm border around each rectangle. Prick the middle of each tartlet with a fork.
Place tomatoes on an oven tray, drizzle some olive oil and season.
- Bake tomatoes for 20-25 mins and tartlets for 25 mins.
- Spread 1 generous tablespoon of Nurishh Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread in each tartlet. Top with tomatoes, basil + balsamic glaze. Eat warm or cold.

It's #MeatFreeMonday 😊🙌
These vegan courgette and corn fritters are lightly spiced with cumin, fresh coriander, lemon juice and mild chilli powder. I like to serve them with some dairy-free yoghurt and sweet chilli sauce drizzled all over, as well as some finely chopped spring onion.

These courgette and corn fritters contain no eggs, dairy or gluten. They are made with gram flour (also known as chickpea flour) which you can find in most supermarkets or ethnic stores. Gram flour is naturally gluten-free and high in plant-based protein.

I have tried this recipe with plain flour, plain flour + eggs and gram flour. I prefer the texture with gram flour but if you do not have any, plain flour works as well.

You can find the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.
