This vegetarian recipe for Quorn chilli con carne (or shall I say sin carne) makes a hearty and tasty meal that the whole family can enjoy. ⠀
⠀
I like to serve it with rice topped with tortilla chips, fresh coriander, guacamole, (dairy-free) yoghurt, and some extra chilli. This recipe also makes yummy leftovers.⠀

Fancy a healthy and gluten-free dinner?
Bursting with flavours my stir-fried cauliflower rice with sticky tofu is simply delicious 😋
The tofu and cauliflower rice are pan-fried while the rest of the vegetables are steamed. So good and easily adaptable to whatever vegetables you have in your fridge or freezer.

Give your leftover mash a tasty makeover with this potato waffle recipe.⠀
⠀
Quick and easy this is perfect for brunch, lunch or as a light dinner. You can load them up with your favourite toppings. Just keep it colourful 🌈⠀
⠀
For the bottom waffle on the picture, I have used a mixture of raw ingredients I had in the fridge: watercress, herby dairy-free yoghurt, tomatoes, cucumber, radish, red onion, avocado and microgreens. Other ideas include beetroot, pepper, grated carrot, steamed broccoli, baby spinach leaves etc…⠀
⠀
For the top waffle, I have used watercress, tomatoes, avocado, tempeh bacon (kindly sent to me by @betternature_ ) and some maple syrup. Delish! ⠀
⠀
I am using an organic egg here (courtesy of our rescue hens!) because the waffles hold slightly better together with it rather than with a chia egg. But if you want to make this recipe 100% plant-based, you can use a chia egg. Simply make sure that once cooked, you remove the waffle very carefully from the waffle iron.⠀

🥛 Do you have a favourite plant-based milk? I like soya, oat or almond to cook with, oat barista for coffee and tea, and almond or oat in my morning porridge and cereals. There are definitely plenty of choices out there, but what about versatile all-rounders ⠀
⠀
|AD| For Veganuary, I have partnered with Lilk, a brand new range of dairy-free milk that blends different grains and seeds to create delicious plant-based milks that are truly versatile. ⠀
⠀
@its_lilk was created by sibling founders, Elisa and Bastien Eymery, who began blending during lockdown in their East London home - one is lactose intolerant, the other a milk-lover looking for a compromise-free alternative.⠀
⠀
Just launched in Ocado, Lilk currently offers two dairy-free blends:⠀
The Common Blend: a mix of oat and rice. It has a really delicious milky taste without any aftertaste. We love it in porridge, cereals, hot drinks or straight from a glass. While not as creamy as a barista milk, it mixes well in coffee and tea. It is also ideal for baking and cooking.⠀
⠀
The Lush Blend: a mix of oat, coconut, and quinoa that has a delicious nutty taste. I love it in my morning cereals and it also adds flavoursome and rich notes to coffees. It is also great to bake with.⠀
⠀
Over the past few weeks, we have been trying Lilk at home and were really impressed by the difference blending different grains and seeds makes. It certainly enhances the best characteristics of each ingredient to create the perfect balanced milk. ⠀
⠀
As you can see from the pictures above, I made pancakes, iced coffee, porridge and we also enjoyed Lilk straight from the bottle. 👌👌⠀
⠀
If you fancy trying it out, don’t miss Lilk’s fantastic 2-for-1 intro offer, from 5 – 25 January 2022 at @Ocado⠀
