Gluten-free Broccoli Tabbouleh

More and more people seem to be choosing to follow vegetarian or vegan diets these days. I have several close friends who are always on the lookout for plant-based meals to satisfy their family vegetarian converts while complementing the rest of the family’s more protein-based meals. This gluten-free Broccoli-Tabbouleh is simply delicious. Something different as a mid-week side and because the broccoli is pulsed raw, it’s ‘tough’ enough to withstand the acidity of the dressing, so it can easily survive a day in the fridge once it’s dressed.

Vegan Lentil Moussaka/Shepherd’s Pie

I was disheartened by the speed that vegan dishes seemed to be inhaled by our family members.. Surely I could create a filling and tasty lentil bolognaise sauce and use it as easily as I would the real meaty version… I’m so pleased to say it was a total success; the baked eggplant moussaka version refined and particularly popular, but the creamy shepherd’s pie of mashed cauliflower and pumpkin also delicious and very filling.
