VEGAN CHICKPEA OMELETTE Recipe by Jure Vrhovnik

INGREDIENTS FOR 2 PERSONS: • • • • • • • • • • • • •

150 g chickpea flour 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon turmeric pinch black pepper 3 dl water bio vegetable stock cube 1 medium onion 2 cloves garlic 1 zucchini ½ red pepper ¼ aubergine 4 dried tomatoes rosemary, sage, basil, oregano, parsley

DIRECTIONS:

Put the chickpea flour, baking powder, turmeric, black pepper and spices in a bowl. Add water with dissolved vegetable cube and stir until the batter is smooth and thin like scrambled eggs. Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat, add oil. Sauté minced onion and garlic, thinly sliced zucchini, red pepper and aubergine, dried tomatoes, rosemary and sage. When vegetables are golden brown, transfer to the chickpea batter, stir well then pour the mixture back to the frying pan and cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Flip the omelette carefully using a plate, so it doesn't crumble, and cook for 5 more minutes.

COOK'S NOTE:

Parsley, olive oil and garlic sauce, oregano and spring onion are perfect side dishes for a pizza. If you like it juicy, forget about unhealthy sugary ketchup and choose fresh tomato sauce instead.

VEGAN PIZZA WITH WHOLE WHEAT DOUGH (Light, Refreshing and Healthy) Recipe by Jure Vrhovnik

PIZZA DOUGH:

DIRECTIONS:

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl, add 2 dl of water and knead until all of the flour has been absorbed and the dough becomes smooth. Let stand in a warm place for half an hour. Sauté thinly sliced TOPPINGS: zucchini and aubergine • zucchinis in a preheated pan (using a • aubergine small amount of olive oil). • ½ can pelati tomatoes Use another pan to cook • salt canned pelati tomatoes or • basil fresh peeled tomatoes.

Top the dough with tomato sauce, sautéed zucchinis and aubergines, thinly sliced pepper, onion, sweet corn, dried tomatoes and olives. Vegan cheese substitute (available in all larger stores) is optional. If you want a lighter variety of pizza, skip the cheese – it is delicious anyway. Toppings should not be too thick, so the pizza will be well baked in the middle. Preheat the oven to 230 degrees C. Bake for 15 minutes (depending on thickness), until the crust is golden brown and crisp. When baking with whole wheat dough, take extra care: the difference between undercooked and overcooked is usually only a few minutes.

Does it sound familiar that after eating a classic pizza you feel tired, drowsy, and crave for a nap? Why not try a vegan wholesome variety of this popular dish? Vegan pizza with whole wheat dough is so light and refreshing, that one or two extra slices will not make you uncomfortably bloated.

HEALTHY RECIPES

caraway followed by ginger. Sauté for a minute. Add ground coriander and asafoetida, stir and add diced carrots and cauliflower florets. Then add mung dal and rice and sauté. Add water and turmeric and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a medium- low and simmer partly covered for 30-40 minutes (cook mung beans a little longer; lentils take less time to cook), until everything is tender. Add lemon juice and butter and simmer until the liquid dries up. Season with parsley and salt, and then gently stir with a fork. Kitchari is extra delicious when served with salad and yoghurt cucumber sauce – raita.

According to the science of Ayurveda, cucumbers cool down and freshen the body, that's why raita is perfect for hot summer days. You can add peas, coriander leaves or parsley to taste.

PURIS –

DEEP FRIED PUFFED BREAD Making puris is pure joy – small dough circles puff up like balloons while frying in hot ghee – while eating them is pure pleasure. They are delicious and crisp and a perfect dish for every meal.

PREPARATION TIME: 15 MIN

INGREDIENTS:

• 250 g 'black' T-1100 or T-1600 flour, 100 g whole-grain flour • ½ teaspoon salt • 1 tablespoon butter or ghee • 175 ml warm water • ghee or vegetable oil for frying

DIRECTIONS:

Sieve the flour in a bowl, add salt and a tablespoon of soft butter. Add little water at a time and knead with buttered hands for 5-8 minutes to form smooth and a little stiff and tight dough. Heat ghee or vegetable oil in a karahi, kadai, wok or frying pan over medium heat. Butter the counter or a rolling board with a few drops of ghee (don't use flour, because it will burn during frying), make 16 small balls and roll them into thin circular shaped discs.

KHIRA RAITA

YOGHURT CUCUMBER SALAD

INGREDIENTS:

• • • • • • •

½ teaspoons caraway 2 medium cucumbers 300 ml yoghurt ½ teaspoon Garam Masala ½ teaspoon salt ½ ground black pepper pinch asafoetida (optional)

PREPARATION TIME: 15 MIN

DIRECTIONS:

Dry roast caraway seeds and grind them. Wash and peel cucumbers. Cut them from back and top to remove bitterness. Shred cucumbers on the medium sized holes of the metal grater. Drain excessive moisture from the shredded cucumbers and mix with other ingredients. Place in refrigerator before serving.

When ghee starts to smoke, reduce heat. Carefully, so you don't burn your fingers, lower one puri at a time into hot ghee. It will rise to the surface in a few moments, and sizzle. Keep pressing it down gently with a skimmer, until it puffs up like a balloon. Turn it over and fry the other side for a few seconds until golden brown. Take the puri out and put it in a colander or on a tissue paper. (As you get more skilled, you can try frying more than one puri at a time.). Similarly deep fry the rest of the puris. Hot puris are delicious and go well with every dish. They make a tasty snack when served with apple puree, honey, jam or fresh cheese.

LOW-CARB CHERRY DUMPLINGS WITH ALMOND DRESSING Recipe by Natasha Ravnikar

FOR 7 DUMPLINGS INGREDIENTS:

• 250 g quark • 1 large egg • erythritol • 10 g Indian plantain • 40 g almond flour • 50 g coconut flour Ingredients for almond dressing: • 40 g butter • 5 tablespoons ground almonds • 1 tablespoon erythritol

DIRECTIONS:

1 2

In a bowl, mix together eggs, quark and erythritol. Add all other ingredients and stir well. Set aside for 10 minutes. Roll the dough into balls then push each ball flat between your palms so it's large enough to enclose cherries. 'Bathe' the cherries in erythritol, put a few in the centre of the flattened dough, then seal the dough around the cherries tightly and roll into balls again. If the dough doesn't stick together, wet your hands and smooth gently. Bring a pot of water to boil and reduce the heat to low simmer. Put the dumplings into the water and cook for about 10 minutes. In a medium frying pan, melt butter, add ground almonds and erythritol and cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes. Dumplings are done when they rise to the surface. Remove from the pot with a slotted spoon or skimmer and allow to drain well on paper napkins. Top dumplings with almond dressing and serve.
