    Red bean and leek salad

    By Evelin, in Salads,

    Serves: 2 Prep Time: 10 minutes tops Cuisine: Eastern European
    Amounts per taste, find the balance that suits you.
    I usually use an entire stalk of leek, about two apples, a tin of beans (rinsed), a small jar of small capers (drained) and about a cup of gherkins (on the sweet side).
    Chop as you like, mix, leave for about 15 minutes, eat.
    I cut the leek into half length-wise and then slice, so you'll have half-circles, but you can do full circles if you like. I chop gherkins quite finely.

    This salad has two strong tastes: leek and capers. If you don't like oniony tastes, this isn't for you. You can leave out the capers if you don't like them, my 7 yo daughter doesn't...

    Lentil Curry Stew

    By Lori Abrams, in Beans & Legumes,

    Serves: 6 Cook Time: half hour Cuisine: Asian
    Place lentils in a medium saucepan and add water to cover.  Bring to a boil and cook lentils for about 10 minutes, until al dente.  Drain lentils and set aside.
     
    In same pot, heat coconut oil, then saute the onion and garlic for about 4 minutes.  Add the celery and carrots, cooking 3 minutes more.  Next, add the cooked lentils, curry powder, coriander, pepper, parsley and vegetable broth.  Cover and cook over medium low heat for 10 minutes.  Add coconut milk and H. salt to taste, and garnish with fresh parsley.  Serve Warm.  Can add rice to the dish too.
     
    This is not very spicy, so for those who are familiar with curry dishes, you can add those spicy condiments in.

    Serves: 4 Cook Time: 35 Prep Time: 20 Cuisine: Middle Eastern
    Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Toss the sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, season, then spread out on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-35 minutes (stirring halfway), or until soft and caramelised. Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a small frying pan, add the sliced onion and soften over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes more. Stir in the couscous, add enough water to barely cover, then bring to the boil. Remove from the heat, cover and set aside for 5 minutes. Using a food processor or a potato masher, roughly combine the chickpeas, cumin, half the chopped herbs and the cooked sweet potato. Form into 12 patties or rounds and spread out on a baking sheet lined with nonstick baking paper. Bake for 15 minutes, or until browned. Stir the remaining chopped herbs through the couscous and season to taste. Serve with the baked falafels, a handful of salad leaves and a large spoonful of houmous.  
    I used purple sweet potato and adzuki beans instead of chickpeas - hence my falafel is purple. I have also added some sauerkraut and steamed veg on the plate.
