Lentil pie with red bell pepper and corn

One of the days i made lentil pie with red bell pepper and corn that i found in one of the cookbooks i have (Fingermat/Greatest ever party food, page 84). It was quite yummy and simple, i should make it again =D
Here's what i did.

Ingredients
55g whole wheat flour
25g vegan butter
1 tablespoon water

45g red lentils
0.75 dl vegetable bullion (i used water+cube)
0.25 - 0.5 onion, chopped
0.5 red bell pepper, chopped
0.5 dl corn
1 teaspoon tomato puree
salt
pepper

Start with mixing ingredients for the pie crust. I had to add bit more water to mine. Put it in fridge while making the filling.
For the filling simmer lentils with the veggie bullion, onion, and bell pepper until lentils are ready. Add more water if needed. Add corn, tomato puree, salt and pepper to taste.
Do the pie crust into a mini-pie shape (about 12 cm diameter) and add the filling.
Place in pre-heated oven for about 30 minutes at 200°C. Enjoy ^.^

Broccoli puree with carrots in pasta sauce

This is bit old post, but finally imported picture to pc so now i'll post =p

I wanted to make broccoli puree for some days =p Before i've made broccoli pesto with pasta a couple of times, but now i wanted to use carrots instead of pasta =p So i went into my closets and found some stuff i wanted to use xD Tasted pretty good too so here's the blog about it =p

The measures are +- what i used (i didnt measure), and i ate everything myself xD

Ingredients:
0.5 broccoli, simmered
1 dl green peas, i used frozen so let them thaw with the broccoli
0.5 onion, in slices then in half moons
1 carrot, peeled in strips
Little bit of red bell pepper in pieces
Pasta sauce (i have no idea how much xD)
Mustard to taste =p
1 tomato, in boats
Chickpeas, maybe 1 dl, i used frozen ones, but canned works too
Yoghurt, i used alpro =p maybe some tablespoons
Soy sauce, to taste
Salt
Pepper

Directions:
Simmer broccoli with some of the onion (if you want) until tender (i used like half a slice of the onion), then add peas at the end if they are frozen.
Meanwhile i simmered the remaining onion in some water, then added pasta sauce, peeled carrots, red bell pepper and the tomato. Then i added mustard to taste, and when it was almost done i added chickpeas.
Now the broccoli should be done so i pureed it in my food processor along with some yoghurt. I also added some of the water it boiled with to get a lighter consistency. Then i added soy sauce, salt and pepper and enjoyed =D

Very yummy =D

Veggie lasagne with fennel sauce

Found a lasagne recipe in one of my cook books (donderdag veggiedag, its in dutch though but i guess nice to have if you know dutch xD). It turned out better than expected (sometimes when i cook from recipes, food comes out bit tasteless, but this one was yummy =p)

So i wanted to share recipe =D This one is bit different from the meaty lasagne that i have on the blog from before, since it doesnt have tomato sauce, and it doesnt have milk sauce =o It also doesnt have "meat" xD This one is just veggies =p I made half a lasagne (so i tell what i used, if you want larger then just double it or quadruple). It lasted for 2 meals (or 2 persons if you are so lucky you have someone to share it with)

Ingredients:
Margarine/oil/both/none xD i used both oil and margarine
0.5 fennel, chopped in small pieces
1 yellow or red bell pepper (recipe said yellow since its supposed to be yellow sauce, but i used red since thats what i had), chopped in small pieces
Water to desired consistency (i also added half a veggie stock cube)
Turmeric (i just added until satisfied xD in recipe its safran though but didnt have that)
Salt and pepper until yammie
1 full tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)

Lasagne plates (i used 3), boiled so they are soft

Oil/margarine/water
0.5-1 onion (depending on size), chopped
0.5-1 clove garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
0.5-1 eggplant (depending on size), in cubes
About 150 g fresh spinach, chopped
Spices (i used basil, oregano, chili, paprika, salt, pepper, onion)

Pine nuts (or in my case sunflower seeds) as decoration

For the sauce:
Saute the fennel and bell pepper, then add water (and stock cube) to cover the veggies and add turmeric and simmer until veggies are tender. Then puree them with a hand mixer or blender or food processor and add more water if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste and nutritional yeast.

For the veggies:
Saute the onion, then add garlic. Add eggplant and bell pepper and saute more until soft. Then add spices to taste, then add spinach and saute until its ready. I also added some water so i didnt have to use shitloads of oil xD

Assembling:
First do a layer of sauce, then veggies, then lasagne plates, then sauce then veggies then lasagne plates etc, and finish it with a layer of sauce, then spread some pine nuts or sunflower seeds on top, and do in oven for about 15 minutes on 180°C.

Enjoy =D I had a salad with mine for extra green, fresh and crispiness

Sorry for bad photos, took them with phone and they looked nicer on that small screen xD But it's the taste that matters for me, not the looks =p

Provencal bean stew

Made this recipe from one of my cook books, and it was really delicious, so i wanted to share =D

I edited the recipe a little bit (not so much xD), heres what i did. I think it should be for about 2 persons (but i ate everything myself @_@)

Ingredients:
1 onion, i sliced mine in two, then in slices
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 red bell pepper, in slices, here i also cut in two then in slices
0.5 chili, chopped
200 g canned tomatoes (half a can)
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 400 g can white beans (i used tomato beans, but other beans probably works also), here i also added the liquid that was in the can =p
Water to desired consistency (mine got maybe bit too much soupy, but i like it like that xD)
1 veggie bullion
1 tablespoon basil spice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste
About 0.5 dl black olives, pitted and chopped in half (i didnt measure what i used, probably it was more, and i also added the olive liquid into the stew for extra taste)

Directions:
Saute onion until soft, then add paprika, garlic and chili and saute for about 10 minutes more while stirring every now and then. I sauted in water, so if low on water add more =p Then add canned tomatoes, tomato puree, beans with their liquid, water, bullion and spices to taste. Put the lid on the pan and simmer for about 30 minutes. Then add olives (and olive liquid if you like that) and simmer for 15 minutes more. Then enjoy ^.^

Sorry for the bad photo btw :x
