Sri Lankan Sweet Potato and Cashew Nut Curry

We often partner this creamy, coconut curry with a simple pea pilau – it adds a flash of colour and is fragrant without being overpowering, though the curry has more than enough flavour to serve with plain rice if you prefer. We also like to serve it with garlic roti’s and tomato and coconut sambal. The roti’s require surprisingly little effort to prepare and the mild, fresh flavours of the samba bring a lovely acidic punch to the plate. Serves 6-8 Ingredients Vegetable oil 3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 4cm chunks 1 large onion, diced 5cm piece of fresh root ginger, peeled and chopped 3 garlic cloves 2 green chillies, trimmed and chopped 12 fresh or frozen curry leaves 2 teaspoons ground turmeric 1 cinnamon stick 1 tablespoon Madras curry powder 1 x 400ml cans coconut cream 100g creamed coconut 1 tablespoon caster sugar 300g basmati rise, washed thoroughly and strained 400ml boiling water Salt 250g roasted cashew buts, to garnish Method Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/Gas Mark 6. Drizzle a little vegetable oil on to the base of a roasting tin. Add the sweet potato pieces, season with salt and mix together thoroughly. […]

Bibelot’s Favourite Places to Eat Vegan

It’s meat-free Monday! Giving up meat for just one day a week has a profoundly positive affect on our planet, and our health. Limp lettuce and tasteless tofu are thankfully a thing of the past! And for those of you who choose to eat ethically as a way of life, or are trying to reduce the meat intake in your diet, it’s never been easier. It’s also never been easier to enjoy a meal out, with new vegetarian and vegan restaurants popping up all over the place, and other restaurants adding meat-free options to their menus. Here’s a list of some of our favourite places to grab a delicious plate of vegan food in London. Dig in! Mildred’s Originally just based in soho, Mildred’s have recently opened another restaurant in Camden, and now you can book in advance. The menu has a diverse selection of delectable vegetarian and vegan dishes, with a good mixture of both healthy and naughty (heavenly chocolate cake, we’re looking at you) to satisfy whichever mood you’re in. Manna One of London’s oldest vegetarian restaurants, Manna offers a brilliantly varied, and mouth-watering choice of (entirely vegan) food. Tucked away in leafy green Primrose Hill, […]

Pancake Day Coconut Roti Recipe

It’s almost pancake day! Hurray!! If you’re partial to a pancake but don’t eat eggs, we have the most delicious vegan recipe for you to try! This Sri Lankan inspired Coconut Roti is full of flavour, and is a little bit different to your bog standard pancake. Ingredients: 1½ cups plain flour sifted ½ cup of coconut flour sifted (optional – can be replaced with plain flour) 1 cool cup of water (add a little at a time as needed to form a dough) 1 cup freshly grated coconut (or soaked desiccated coconut) 1 tbs of oil (we used rapeseed) Method: Sift the flour in a large bowl. Add the grated coconut or pre-soaked desiccated coconut, and oil to the flour and mix well. Then add water a little at a time, until it begins to form a dough. You don’t want the dough to be sticky, it should be like play-dough consistency. Leave the dough to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Divide the dough into equal sized balls and then gently roll with a rolling pin into 5″ discs. Heat some oil in a pan on a medium high heat and then cook the roti on both sides […]

Butternut Apple Tart – The Forest Feast

I know fall is here when my CSA starts to brim with apples and squash. This savory tart is very comforting when the weather starts to cool. I used a pre-made pie crust, but you can certainly make your own. It works for breakfast, lunch or dinner and is great with an herb side salad.
