Turn a can of black beans into enfrijoladas, a saucy vegetarian supper which has great pairing with tortillas. Garnishes make this simple vegetarian dish a meal and add contrasting color, texture and flavor.
Try these vegan kimchi noodles bursting with flavourful fresh veggies and a delicious umami flavoured sauce. A perfect go to meal that is not only delicious but also nutricious.
The pasta in the dish is cooked two ways: Half is fried until crisp, tan and crunchy, almost like a wonton, while the other half is simmered directly in the sauce. It's a one-pot vegetarian meal that comes together in 35 minutes.
This recipe is always a hit, and “you get maximum flavor for minimal effort.” All you need to do is pop the ingredients into a mini chopper and blitz them so they’re finely chopped and coat the spaghetti in a ragu-style sauce.
There is something undeniably delightful about savouring a stack of perfectly cooked pancakes, generously adorned with your favourite toppings. Whether you are a traditionalist or a culinary adventurer, try this delightful pancake recipe that can be effortlessly whipped up.
