Chinese Style Eggplant with Garlic Dressing

QUICK DISH / VEGAN / VEGETERIAN / GLUTEN-FREE

Steamed eggplant (aubergine) has a very delicate texture, and easy to prepare. Hand tearing the eggplant is preferred to knife cutting, as hand tearing tend to help the vegetable hold moisture better when cooked. This dish can be served warm or cold and with several popular options for the dressing.

Spinach, Quinoa and Tahini Salad

QUICK DISH / VEGAN / VEGETARIAN / GLUTEN-FREE

Spinach, quinoa and tahini salad

Spinach and tahini (sesame paste) salad is a Chinese classic side dish and a great way to enjoy fresh spinach in meaningful quantities. I added a small amount of quinoa to the classic mix to make a quick lunch – a seemingly small package when presented at the table, yet surprisingly filling and nutritious. The spinach is beautifully green, and juicy and sweet to bite – always my favorite way to enjoy this wonderful vegetable!

Crushed Cucumber Salad

VEGAN / GLUTEN-FREE / QUICK DISH

Crushed cucumber salad recipe

Crushed cucumber salad is one of my favorite appetizers. The dressing is full of lovely nutty flavor from the sesame oil, with a little kick from the fresh garlic and apple cider vinegar. Baby cucumbers are the ideal choice because they are super juicy and easy to crush, however a fresh telegraph cucumber will do just fine.

The chicken is stuffed with cut-up vegetables and whole grains, which can be prepared very quickly, and give the chicken flavour a real boost. No need to make extra vegetable dishes to serve with the chicken, there is plenty vegetables in the roasting tray to make it a complete meal.
