A new week,
a new vegan dish and of course a new #cookwithmemonday. Today's article is about
a recap to my vegan Christmas dinner, since I haven't shared the main dish with
you guys so far, which I want to do today..
The main
dish was black rice, with hummus, smoked tofu and on side carrots and cucumber.
I wanted to have something very light and not, as usually to Christmas, fatty
and "cheating".
When I create
my dishes I want people to care about a healthy diet and show doubting people
with my Monday postings, that a healthy, clean nutrition which is also vegan is
not boring and much more than just a plain salad.
This is why
I decided to make the main course as colorful as I was able to. It was also
very simple to do the main dish, so it will also me a nice option for a casual
lunch during the week.
First step
is of course to cook the rice. I used black rice since this one has more
vitamins and proteins than the simple white one, but if you rather prefer the
other one you can also feel free to decide to take another type of rice, also
quinoa (white, red, black or mixed) is a nice option to rice.
Next step
was the hummus which I made of chick peas, soaked in water over night and
cooked on the other day. I also added tahin, citron, water, salt and pepper and
garlic to give it a nice and fresh taste.
In the
meanwhile I put a spread of coconut oil in a hot pan and added onion and smoked
tofu which I grilled until it was crispy. Last part was the vegetable which I
put in my spiralizer to give it a pretty shape as a delicious looking decoration.
On top I put some anise and other herbals, and that's it.
Enjoy your
next colorful inspired lunch, following the quote "count colors, not
calories".
