I wish there was a way to convey the tastiness and simplicity of this through a photo! Truly, this is so easy and so delicious! You can whip this up in 15 minutes.

 

1 head of broccoli, chopped

3/4 cup almonds

2 celery stalks, chopped

2 spring onions, chopped

3 garlic cloves, crushed

3 Tablespoons coconut amino

 

Stir fry the garlic, onions and celery. Add in the broccoli and amino sauce.

Serve on fresh spinach with fresh avocado – or on rice or pasta if you prefer.
So simpleā€¦so delicious šŸ™‚

Crispy vegetable dumplings

Dumplings

These dumplings were an accident that went amazingly well! I wanted to create a dumpling filling of walnuts and mushroom base, but, lacking the right ingredients and not being well at the moment (and unable to venture to the shops), I did what I could with what I had. And ooooohhhh my goodness, they are yummy!

The dumplings in this picture is not gluten free, but uses dumpling wonton wrappers (becauseā€¦not well at the moment). If you would like to make your own dumpling case gluten free, see here.

Ingredients:

1 cup finely shredded wombok cabbage

1 large carrot, peeled and grated

3 spring onions, finely diced

2 mushrooms, finely diced

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 Tablespoon tamari

1 Tablespoon mushroom “oyster” sauce

1 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp dried chilli flakes

 

Combine all ingredients and mix the flavours through. Place a spoonful of mixture on to dumpling wrapper and fold together in desired shape. Perfect for frying or steaming. * Served with Asian greens.

*We did have both steamed and deep fried to try. The steamed ones were just as tasty but stuck to my steamer so they were not in good shape when I peeled them off! The picture dumplings were deep fried in rice bran oil.
