Sweet Potato and Chickpea Rogan
Description
A rich and tasty curry that doesn't have any hot spices, just pure flavour.

Providing all of your beta-carotene (vitamin A) and vitamin K for the day as well as over half of your fibre, iron, folate and magnesium, this is a nutrient-dense meal that is incredibly tasty.  It's also completely free of any added salt so it's brilliant for blood-pressure.

 
Ingredients
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed 
  • 3 handfuls spinach
  • 1 can or carton cooked chickpeas, drained
  • 350g passata
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 50g 'creamed' coconut block (don't use the clearer bit as it's pure oil)
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or pressed
  • 2 cm fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • Quarter tsp turmeric
Directions
  1. Gently fry the red onion in a little water
  2. Add all of the other ingredients and bring to the bubble
  3. Reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes until the sweet potato is soft.  Stir regularly to prevent sticking and add small amounts of water if necessary
  4. Serve with quinoa

Quick Saag Aloo
A super-speedy simple take on the classic potato and spinach dish.  So delicious with other curries or even on its own.

We've kept it whole-food plant-based but have used some time-saving ingredients to make this a feasible quick lunch or dinner recipe.

We've left the quantity of spinach very open as people with a tendancy to form kidney stones might choose to use less and those of us who love spinach might want to use more.

Borlotti and Porcini Pasta Sauce
A quick and tasty sauce that works really beautifully with pasta.  If you like rich, hearty flavours, this one's for you.  Porcini and tomato puree blend together to give a sweet, sharp, umami taste.  

Cavolo nero provides a fantastic array of nutrients and borlotti beans are loaded with fibre to keep your inner-bugs happy.  We top this off with some garlic and red onion to boost the phytonutrients for a nutritious and delicious sauce.
