Back on track!

I've had some hectic days with loads of traveling, and unfortunatley I have not had time to post on this lovely blog! But I have eaten some awesome vegan food together with a friend of mine who came visiting, so she got to be a vegan as well! After a few days, she toled me that she didn't actually like tomatoes and onion, but she greatly enjoyed the food we made although it was stuffed with both tomatoes and onion!
Tuesday night I we made ratatouille.


It was extreamly delishious and here is what we did:
The recipie makes a big dinner for two!
1 large clove of garlic
1 yellow onion
1/3 zucchini
1 red pepper
1/2 eggplant
oil for frying
1 jar of mushed tomatoes
Cut all the vegies into large pieces. Fry onion and garlic in some oil for a while, and then add the other vegetables and fry untill they are glossy. Now add the tomatoes, and alow to slowly boil under a lid for about 30 minutes, the zucchini, pepper and eggplant should become soft and nice. Taste with salt, sugar(yepp!) and freshly ground black pepper.
We ate it with some nice wholemeal bread and hummus!
Wednesday night we made red lentile patties and vegetable gratin.
You can find the recipie for lentile patties posted earlier on this blog, the only difference is that we now used red lentiles instead of green and they don't need quite as long time to boil.

The vegetable gratain was realy easiy. It makes two big portions.
Heat the oven to 200 degrees.
Cut up and place in an ovenproof dish 1/2 eggplant, 1/2 zucchini, 1/2 red onion, 1 red pepper and a cuple of mini tomatoes. Spice with 1 ½ tsp. salt, 2 tsp. thyme, black pepper and 1 tsp. lemon juice, and roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
Mix 2 dl of vegan cream with 1 tbsp. chili sauce and 1 tbsp. soy sauce. Pour over the roasted vegetables and roast for another 15 minutes.
It was a very, very nice dinner, cooked by me and my dear friend. It is loads of fun cooking together, and this dinner was particularly easy to make together since one could make the lentile patties and one the gratin and the food was ready in no time!

Since I traveled alot, I haven't had tome to cook every day, but after last week I had loads of left over which made nice dinners those days I had acces to a microwave-oven. Those days we traveled alot I stuffed my bag full with fruits, vegan bars(I have only one left now! Have to make some more sooon!) bread and a jar of hummus, bottles with smoothies, and raisins.
Friday evening we went to Linköping, and the peole we visited had extreamly kindly bought pizza for us, and I felt quite bad when I couldn't eat it, but I got to make a nice salad instead and it was soo good! Fresh salads with only chopped vegetables and spices should not be under-estimated!
For brunch today I made american pancakes- vegan style.
The recipie makes enough for 1 VERY hungry person, or two not so hungry people!
1.2 dl oat-milk
1.2 dl water
2 dl flour
2 tsp baking-powder
0.5 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil
Mix the dry ingredients, add milk and water and mix to a thick paste. Add oil and allow to swell for 30 minutes(I was hungry and didn't have patience for more then 20 minutes, but that was ok as well). Fry in plenty of vegan butter and serv with sugar and jam!
over and out-agnes
