Oranges & tahini breakfast bowl

July 29, 2019 by Ariel 2 Comments

My new obsession is those fancy breakfast bowls we can all admire on instagram. It’s not something new, I’m just late to the party.

Hours and hours “wasted” or “invested” looking at those edible art pieces until finally finding the motivation to make one. This is a savoury version with a creamy and garlic infused polenta dressed with green onions, Italian parsley, a sunny side up egg, grilled shiitake mushrooms & plantains. To complete the look, you top it with an oranges & tahini dressing that has a hint of harissa, soy sauce and honey.

The black sesame seeds are optional but they look pretty sooo… the choice is yours. Enjoy!

Vegan “Ground Unicorn Meat”

February 14, 2016 by Ariel 2 Comments

Trying to eat less meat, sometimes it gets a little complicated because you wished you had some sort of “ground meat” type like protein but those store bought versions often contain too much salt, carrageenan or even worst, ingredients we can barely pronounced.

This is my own version for vegan “ground beef” which obviously isn’t beef but has some sort of beefy flavour although I like to call it unicorn meat since they are kind trendy right now and it always make people smile when I present them a dish made with this little concoction. Use it pretty much like you would use ground meat, it’s perfect for taco, stuffed peppers, spaghetti sauce, lasagna and more! Get creative, this recipe wont disappoint.

The only small detail to remember is when you shred your tofu block with your hands, make sure you keep decently big pieces or reduce the cooking time a little, if you have a lot of small pieces, so they don’t burn.

Have fun!

Ok so here’s another fun recipe featuring the amazing vegetable that is carrot! Like I told you recently, I bought a TON and I have to go over all the possibilities of what you can do with them… These carrot fries could be present as a side dish or stand alone as a snack… also don’t forget that it’s much more healthier than regular fries! I had them marinate for 24 hours for even more great taste… trust me, you want to try them!

Pulled BBQ chicken Taco

August 5, 2012 by Ariel 3 Comments

Pull-Apart, Pulled or Shredded BBQ Chicken can be eaten in so many ways… today I decided to make tacos with it but you should also try it out as a burger between a nice and fresh kaiser bun. It’s easy, flavorful and I personally don’t know anybody who didn’t enjoy this recipe. The sweet touch of maple syrup, fresh avocado slices and grilled bell peppers, it’s making it the best easy summer dinner or comforting winter meal.
