spring is hereeee! this spring pea orzo is plant b spring is hereeee! this spring pea orzo is plant based, packed with flavors and nutrients, and is SO easy to make. here’s how:

01 Cook 1 cup of orzo in 2 cups of water. You do NOT have to rinse it, just a personal preference! Meanwhile, add about 2 cups of broccoli florets into a food processor. Pulse until the broccoli has turned into a rice. Careful not to over pulse or it will become soggy.

02 Heat extra virgin olive oil onto a pan then add in the broccoli rice. Cook & stir occasionally for about 10 minutes.

03 Add 1 cup of peas and 1 cup of edamame beans to the rice and stir to combine. After a few minutes, stir in the cooked orzo. Next stir in finely chopped herbs (I recommend parsley, chives, and a few sprigs of dill), sea salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1 cup of vegan shredded cheese (I love Violife.)

04 Stir frequently and once the cheese has melted, remove from heat and serve. Top with lemon zest and an optional drizzle of coconut milk.

The Mediterranean diet has consistently been ranke The Mediterranean diet has consistently been ranked the healthiest diet in the world - luckily for vegans, it doesn’t include many animal products! I combined a few of my favorite vegan items from the mediterranean diet and compacted them into one easy to make lunch bowl. I did add tofu (not on the Mediterranean diet) but if you want to keep it 100% Mediterranean try lentils. This bowl is perfect for meal prep and tastes SO SO good.

RECIPE:

01 Cook 1 cup of quinoa in 2 cups of water. Once done, fluff with a fork then toss with finely chopped dill and parsley.

02 Chop up a block of high protein tofu into cubes. Toss with avocado oil spray, tamari, sea salt, and corn starch.
Once fully coated, air fry the tofu at 375 until crispy. Give them a stir after 12 minutes then air fry for another 8-10 minutes.

03 Wash about 6 baby potatoes and peel away any sprouts. Cut each potato into 4 wedges. Toss with avocado oil spray, sea salt, paprika, and zatar seasoning. Air fry at 400 degrees for about 12-15 minutes or until crispy.

04 To a dish add 1/2 cup Tahini, juice from 1/2 Lemon, 1/2 tsp Sea Salt, 1/4 tsp Black Pepper and 3-4 tbsp Water (add more if you want a runnier consistency.)

05 Chop up one large tomato, 2 Persian cucumbers, and set aside about 12 green olives and arugula.

06 Divide all ingredients into four bowls or meal prep containers. 1 serving includes 1 cup of arugula, 1/4th of the herby quinoa, 1/4th of the crispy tofu, about 5 potato wedges, 1/4th of the cucumber and tomato, 3 green olives, and a generous drizzle of lemon tahini. The remaining portions will stay good about 5 days. Enjoy!

I often get asked as a vegan why I still eat produ I often get asked as a vegan why I still eat products that look and taste like real meat, and the answer is really simple - because no animals were harmed! I wasn’t always vegan, and I used to eat beef all the time. I love @abbotsbutcher because they nailed it on the taste, the ingredients are super clean, and the macros are impressive. 

This beef korma is one of my favorite healthy vegan dinners - I always make a big batch like this and save the leftovers. Recipe ⬇️ 

INGREDIENTS: 
1 tbsp avo oil
1 onion, chopped
12 raw cashews
1 cup non-dairy yogurt (I used @kitehillfoods Greek yogurt) 
2 tsp turmeric 
2 tbsp cilantro leaves 
1 tsp paprika 
2 tsp garam masala 
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamom 
1 tsp grated ginger 
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 package @abbotsbutcher beef
Salt to taste 
Cilantro to garnish
Rice to serve

INSTRUCTIONS
01 Add avocado oil to a pot and heat on medium-low. Add onions and slowly sauté for 10-15 min, stirring occasionally until browned.

02 To a bowl add the yogurt, turmeric, salt and pepper, paprika, and garam masala. Whisk to combine.

03 Allow onions to cool, then transfer to a blender with the cashews, cilantro, and the yogurt mix. Blend for a minute or so.

04 Heat more avocado oil in the same pot on medium-low heat. Add cinnamon, cardamom, garlic, pepper, and ginger. Sauté for about one minute, or until spices are fragrant.

05 Add Abbot’s Butcher “Beef” to the pan and cook according to package instructions.

06 Stir in the spiced yogurt and salt to taste. Add water and stir until it’s fully incorporated.

07 Remove from heat and garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice.

Mini Beet Focaccia – Easy and Vegan!

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
mini beet focaccia. only 1 cup of flour.
I absolutely love focaccia, but there’s no denying how difficult the process is. It requires a ton of flour and oil, is tough to handle, and really only works for a large group. This Mini Beet Focaccia is designed for a small group, or even just for one! It has all the classic flavors and textures of traditional focaccia but takes half the time to make. If you’re a focaccia lover, this mini version will change your life!
mini beet focaccia

How to Make Mini Beet Focaccia:

Mini Beet Focaccia Made in a Loaf Pan

This particular mini focaccia is made with beets. You really don’t taste the beets in the final recipe, but you are left with a beautiful pink color and some extra nutrients. If you’re not aware, beets are very high in iron. Here’s everything that you’ll need for the dough:

  • Bread Flour. Regular flour works, but bread flour will take it to the next level.
  • Beets. I used 2 small precooked beets as it was just so convenient. Click HERE to buy the exact precooked beets I used. You can probably use a raw beet, but you’ll have to play around with the measurements.
  • Pitaya Powder. This isn’t a necessary ingredient, but I added it because I wanted my loaf to be as pink as possible. I didn’t notice any taste associated with it, so if you have any on hand (or beet powder) try it out!
  • Active Dry Yeast.
  • Sea Salt.
  • Warm Water.
  • Olive Oil.
For the toppings, I caramelized red onion slices with olive oil and a splash of balsamic vinegar. I topped that with fresh rosemary and flaky sea salt. You can use whatever you’d like but I highly recommend that trio!

How to Perfect the Dough

The best part of this recipe is how EASY it is. You’re only working with one cup of flour so it’s significantly easier to knead and handle. It also doesn’t need to rest as long which cuts the time in half.

The key is giving the dough time to rest. It doesn’t need much since it is a small batch, but you absolutely cannot skip it. Once you mix your ingredients and form your dough, you’ll want to cover it with plastic wrap or a towel for 20 minutes. Use a thin spatula to fold the dough over itself a few times, then let it rest for another 20 minutes. The fold over process is done by using your spatula to secure one of the sides of the dough, stretching it upwards, then pressing it into the center of the dough. Rotate the bowl and repeat until you have a solid shaped ball.

Knead a final time then drizzle oil in a loaf pan. I used a 1lb pan, though this does NOT have to be exact. Use your hands to slightly stretch the dough out into the shape of the pan, but don’t force it. Drizzle a bit of oil on top. Cover and let rest for 40 minutes.

While it’s resting, make your caramelized onions. I thinly sliced 1/4 of a red onion and sauteed it in oil with a splash of balsamic vinegar. When the 40 minutes is up, use your fingers to dimple the dough. Gently stretch it towards the edges of the pan if it’s not there already. Again, don’t force it!

Cover and let rest for a final 20 minutes then decorate with the caramelized onions, fresh rosemary, and flaky sea salt. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. Let cool slightly then enjoy immediately. You can keep it for a few days on the counter wrapped in foil, but I recommend eating it that same day.

Mini Beet Focaccia

Delicious Mini Beet Focaccia made with only 1 cup of flour!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Bread Flour You can also use All-Purpose Flour, but Bread Flour will result in a more authentic Focaccia
  • 1 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 2 Baby Beets, precooked
  • 6 tbsp Warm Water, divided
  • 2 tbsp Pitaya Powder Beet Powder also works. You can also omit completely, it just gives the final result a nicer color.
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil, divided
  • 1/4 Red Onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

Instructions

  • Blend the 2 precooked baby beets with 2 tbsp of water and the optional 2 tbsp of pitaya or beet powder. Blend for about a minute or so.
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour with the active dry yeast and sea salt. Once combined, add the beet puree along with 3 tbsp warm water and 3 tbsp olive oil in the center. Use a spatula to stir together until a pink ball is formed. If the ball is feeling too dry, add more water by the tbsp.
  • Once your ball is formed and the ingredients are mixed together, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel. Let rest for 20 minutes then knead using a thin spatula. What you'll do is wet the spatula then use it to slightly lift one side of the ball upwards. Press it back down into the center of the dough ball. Rotate your bowl and repeat until you have a nicely formed dough ball. Cover and let rest for another 20 minutes.
  • Knead for a final time then transfer your dough to a loaf pan. Make sure to add a quick drizzle of olive oil to the bottom of your pan first. Add another quick drizzle of oil on top of the dough ball then use your fingers to slightly press the dough into the shape of the pan. Don't force it, the dough will be smaller than the pan which is normal. Let it rest covered for 40 minutes to give it time to grow.
  • After 40 minutes, uncover the dough and use your fingers to dimple the dough very gently stretching it towards the edges of the pan. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees then cover one final time for 20 minutes. Now would be the time to caramelize your onions - thinly slice 1/4 of a red onion then sautee in a drizzle of olive oil and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Stir often on a medium heat.
  • Now it's time to decorate your focaccia! Add the caramelized onion on top along with flaky sea salt and fresh rosemary. You can also get creative and add whatever toppings you'd like. Add into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. I cooked mine for about 24 minutes and it was perfect.
  • Let cool slightly then enjoy immediately! You can cover in foil and keep on the counter for a few days, but it is best fresh.
