6 Vegan Recipes to ‘Spring’ into the new Season
Welcome to the most colourful season
With the official start of spring this weekend, we’re excited to share some of our favourite recipes of the season with you! These mouth-watering meals will help you to make the most of the colourful fresh ingredients of spring!
Go wild
Wild garlic will now start to pop up across British woodlands, so harvest a few handfuls and add to our delicious Hazelnut Pesto Pasta. You can top this vibrant spaghetti with fresh basil, cherry tomatoes and Greek-style vegan cheese to make it look, feel and smell even more like spring!
A classic start to spring
Nothing says spring quite like a quiche – it’s a classic dish to eat with salad and new potatoes while enjoying the springtime sun. And yes, of course it can be made vegan!
Try our popular Leek, Mushroom and Blue ‘Cheese’ Quiche recipe: the combination of sautéed leeks, garlic and bubbling blue ‘cheese’ is heavenly!
Sunshine curries ahead
Sweet Potato & Coconut Dhal is a gorgeous easy dinner packed with all the good stuff! Lots of protein, creamy coconut and aromatic Sri-Lankan spices.
We use whole toasted seeds for the spice blend so they are extra fragrant and release all of their fantastic antioxidants!
Rizzi-Bizzi – the vegan way
Our Asparagus, Pea & Lemon Risotto is an easy, one-pot meal, and if you want to make it a little more fancy, we recommend topping with crunchy sage crisps and toasted almonds – it’s an amazing pairing.
Springtime garden celebrations
Perhaps it’s warm enough for a barbecue?
Celebrate the sun and fire up the grill for our Easy Homemade Tofu Burgers! We like to vary the herb and spice blend to create delicious variations, perhaps Indian spiced, Mexican, or with Mediterranean herbs.
Sweet spring delight
And for dessert we can’t get enough Blueberry Lemon Drizzle Cake. It’s delightfully moist, zingy and fresh – a classic dessert with a blueberry twist.
It’s our favourite cake to enjoy with a cuppa in the afternoon!
