Smoky Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chilli

55 minHealth 90

A hearty, one-pot vegan chilli that swaps every animal product for bold plant-based flavours. Chipotle in adobo and smoked paprika deliver a deep, smoky warmth, while cubed sweet potatoes finish in the oven so their edges caramelise beautifully. A squeeze of fresh lime juice added off the heat keeps every bowl bright and vibrant. Ready in under an hour and naturally gluten-free.

Grilled Sea-Brined Tofu with Tomato-Caper Salsa

30 minHealth 81

A bold, plant-based adaptation of Mediterranean grilled whole branzino. Extra-firm tofu is pressed, soaked in a kelp-and-sea-salt brine for genuine marine depth, then wrapped in nori — which crisps and chars on the grill exactly as fish skin does — and grilled over high heat until golden. The vibrant tomato-caper salsa, bright with Kalamata olives, balsamic, and fresh parsley, is kept exactly as in the original. Aromatic lemon slices, rosemary, and flat-leaf parsley frame the slabs on the grate. Fully vegan; no flavour compromises.
