Quinoa salad with hummus and cabbage (aka. did somebody say plant protein)

Ingredients for 4 portions:

1 dl white quinoa

2 dl black quinoa

1 dl green lentils

6 dl water

1 red pointed cabbage (or regular, i doubt it matters)

2 avocados

4 tsp olive oil

2 tsp apple vinegar

1 tsp mustard

1 tsp honey

Hummus with sun-dried tomatoes:

240g boiled chickpeas (can be canned)

1 dl olive oil

3-4 cloves of garlic

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon tahini

3-4 sun-dried tomatoes

1 teaspoon ground cumin

0,5 teaspoons cayenne pepper

0,5 teaspoons ground cilantro

Cold water

Salt & pepper

Preparation:

Boil quinoa as per the instructions on the packet. I boiled my quinoa and lentils in the same pot and it turned out fine.

Chop your pointed cabbage into appropriate bite sizes. In a glass or bowl, mix olive oil, apple vinegar, mustard and honey into an even consistency vignarette. Taste test with salt and pepper, and then mix it well with your cabbage.

Cut avocado into slices.

Hummus:

Blend all ingredients together. I use one of those food chopping things you have to pull like a lawnmower, which... does the job, lol.

Add cold water until your hummus is the desired consistency. I've heard that adding this water in the form of crushed ice actually makes the hummus more creamy, but I haven't tried that out yet. Cold water works just fine.

Taste test with ground cumin, salt and freshly ground black pepper.

For serving, arrange the salad in layers in your bowls, starting with hummus at the bottom, then quinoa and lentils, then avocado slices, and then topping off with a healthy layer of cabbage.

Enjoy!

Smoked Tofu Lentil and Carrot Salad (Vegan)

Mum returned from the doctor last week with a long list of food restrictions. No meat besides poultry, and only a few fishes, no seafood, no dairy, and most importantly, nothing acidic. We’ve mostly adopted a vegetarian/vegan diet in consequence. At dinner, that is, as we don’t share our lunches. We’re used to meatless cooking; but cooking without lemon or vinegar is rather a challenge, I find. But you know me, I like a challenge! Thus, I was very pleased when this Smoked Tofu Lentil and Carrot Salad turned out to be delicious, and beautifully dressed! Happy Tuesday!

Ingredients (serves 2):

100 grams/3.5 ounces plain soy yoghurt

1 cup green Puy lentils

2 carrots, rinsed

1/4 large red onion

1 litre/1 quart water

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

a dozen leaves fresh mint

2 fluffy springs Garden Parsley

1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

100 grams smoked tofu

Sit a small funnel over a glass and line it with a coffee filter. Spoon soy yoghurt into the coffee filter, and let it drain, in the refrigerator, a couple of hours.

Spoon the green lentils into a large saucepan. Slice the carrots, and stir them in. Peel the red onion quarter, and add it to the saucepan, too. Stir in the water and coarse sea salt. Bring to the boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low, and half cover with a lid. Simmer, until lentils are just tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, saving a tablespoon of the cooking liquid, and let cool completely. Set aside.

Spoon drained soy yoghurt into serving salad bowl. 

Finely chop mint and Garden Parsley, and add to the yoghurt, along with Dijon Mustard, black pepper, and reserved cooking liquid. Give a good stir until well-combined.

Remove red onion quarters from the lentils and carrots, and stir them into the dressing, tossing them well, to coat. Chill in the refrigerator, until serving time.

Just before serving, heat olive oil in a small frying pan, over medium-high heat. 

Pat smoked tofu dry, and cut into cubes. Add to the pan, and fry, coating in oil, until golden brown.

Scatter smoked tofu onto the lentils.

Serve Smoked Tofu Lentil and Carrot Salad immediately.
