Poppy Seed Power!

January 25, 2015 justatevegan Leave a comment

Earlier in the week we had a question from one of our Instagram followers about the health benefits of poppy seeds. This was such an excellent query we wanted to dedicate a whole post to it!

Poppy seeds are super delicious when toasted in stir-fries, raw on top of salads and smoothies or baked on top of burgers, however what are the health benefits of these nutty hundreds and thousands?

We found this excellent info pic from dherbs.com which we hope will answer the query in a neat and succinct way:

Here are some of the delicious meals that we’ve been creating with Poppy seeds this week:

Shallot Yellow Split Pea Mash

January 20, 2015 justatevegan Leave a comment

Ingredients:

Two Shallot Onions
Packet of Organic Split Peas
Salt and Mixed Ground Pepper

Here’s something different, simple and yum,
That’s warm & filling for your very hungry tum.

Take you Split Peas and give them a good rinse and sort through
Put them in a pan adding 3 cups of water to every 1 cup of Peas too.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes or so.

And whilst cooking have the diced onions in a pan ready to go…Give them a good glug of oil & season with your favourite herbs and spice,
Keeping it simple we thought just salt, and mixed pepper would be nice.

Then when the onions are soft and the lentils all done
Add them to your blender and for the best bit of fun….

Whizz the mixture around until you achieve this great mash yellow and bright…

…And use a circular food mold to create a wonderful neat sight!

With a little garnish on top you’re good to go!

A quick delicious tasting side dish so simple you’d never know!

Why not try different shapes too using your cookie cutters!
