When we eat bread at home, we do it for real: we have several types of meat, cheese, spread... This vegetarian-pâté recipe comes from my sister, it is sooooooo good! It goes also perfectly well with this tomato butter . Mix: 250ml of sunflower seeds, grounded 125ml of nutritional yeast 2 tablespoons of lemon juice 80ml of oil 1 clove of garlic 2 tablespoons of tamari (or soy sauce) 125ml of flour (could be nice with whole wheat!) 1 onion, thinly diced 1 raw potato, grated (or pumpkin, or sweet potato, or...) Thyme and basil, to taste Mix and add up to 250ml of water . Depending of what you grated, it could be a bit less. The texture should be like a cake mix, not too liquid, not too thick. Pour in a greased bread form (the thickness should be 2-3cm). Bake at 175C for an hour. Unmold once cold.

Two weeks ago, we bought an eggplant. It was on special and I though: why not make a moussaka. André wasn't excited about this prospect and it just so happened one of our YouTube channel was showing a recipe that looked just amazing using an eggplant (see here ) and grilled halloumi. We decided to try it and did not regret it (I mean, look at how good it looks!!). Serves 4. Peel and thinly slice 2 red onions . Heat a medium-big saucepan over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil before adding the onions. Fry roughly 10 minutes, until the onion is tender. Add one tablespoon of tomato puree and one tablespoon of harissa paste (to adjust depending on your taste for spicy food, could be good with a bit less too). Mix and fry for a minute or so. Add 4 portions*** of wheat, bulgur, oat, rice or couscous and fry a couple of minutes, until fragrant. On the channel, they are using "freekeh", which we successfully replaced by "matvete" (wheat berry), but I ...

This recipe is also a couple of month old, but simply soooooo good for a veggy burger, that it has not been forgotten. I found it on this crazy blog here thinking it's always a good idea to find some alternative meat-free burgers. The liquid smoke was intriguing and the result was fabulous, even so the paddies were rather thin and therefore a little dry - so there's great potential left.... For 8 paddies put 2 cups of chopped spinache and 1 cup of diced onions in a food processor and pulse until it's a fine mixture. Add  3 cups cooked kidney beans Half a cup of dinkel (originally it was brown rice, but hey, lets go healthy a little further) 4 gloves of pressed garlic 1Tsp liquid smoke 2tsp soy sauce 1Tsp smoked paprika 2tsp oregano 1.5tsp grounded cumin black pepper and mix until it's a proper paste, but not doughy. Place the mix in a bowl and mix in half a cup breadcrumbs. You should have a nice texture of the mix to form balls and ...

One of the well known grocery shop here in Sweden is ICA. When I arrived, I was "spelling it out", like in Qc we do for IGA. People looked at me awkwardly and at some point, I realized that you are suppose to say it "ica" not "i. c. a.". This is a nice place to shop, they have different kind of shop. The one we like to go to is enormous. One of the nice things is that we can "self-scan" through the shop: at the entrance, we scan our membership card and take a self-scanner. When we go out, we put the device on a rack and scan our card on a computer, pay and leave. They check us every now and then, sometimes the entire stuff, sometimes 5-6 items choose randomly. Bref! Our membership comes with advantages, is a magazine we have by mail every month. Most of the recipes are either plain weird, not looking tasteful or would take too long to prepare, but sometimes, you find treasure. This recipe is one of them (we have it just in Swedish, online inclu...

We looooove sweet potatoes. When we make and eat burgers, we always end up making oven fries, half "regular" half sweet: it is just too good. I had the idea for this recipe during one of my weeks of vacations this summer: André was attending a conference and I tagged along. The food was very good and plentiful and this is one of the thing we really enjoyed, so I felt I had to try to reproduce it. This would serve 6 people. Prepare a pie crust, with your own magical recipe or this one . Warm your oven to 180 C. While the dough is in the fridge,  peel and cube 350g of sweet potatoes . Cook using your favorite method (see note at the bottom). Finely chop and fry one medium-large onion until golden. Cube 100g of feta cheese (we use this "brine" cheese that is similar). Once cooked, mix together the onion, and the potatoes, add the feta and a couple of tablespoons of fresh parsley (add less if dry). Roll the dough and put it in a pie form. Spread the onion/potato...

Burger is like pizza, it's really our thing. We looooooove burgers! We have many, many pictures of food on both our phones, so this is the first of a series of burgers recipes. This is something I stumble upon a the summer before I moved in Sweden. I was looking for vegetarian burger recipe and this one caught my eye. First off, you need to cook the quinoa. I suggest you prepare it the day before or a couple of hour before, otherwise, it will be too hot and you won't be able to do anything with your hands! This recipe will give you 8 patties, we freeze them, just before frying them and fry them easily directly out of the freezer. Boil 2 cups of water , add a big pinch of salt and a cup of quinoa . Cover and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Once the quinoa is cooled off a little (at least!) put in a big bowl and add: 3/4 cup shredded cheese (strong cheese are wonderful for this) 1/2 cup cottage cheese 1 medium carrot grat...
