Vegan Paella with Smoked Tofu and Artichokes
Saffron rice, tender artichokes, sweet peppers and browned smoked tofu cook in one wide pan, with crisp-edged tofu standing in for chorizo. A short blast of heat at the end gives the base a light, toasted socarrat.
Peanut Udon with Crispy Tofu and Edamame
Thick udon and edamame are coated in a glossy peanut-lime sauce, with raw carrot ribbons for a clean crunch. The cornstarch-coated tofu is browned separately and added at the end to keep its crisp edges.
Whole-Wheat Spaghetti with Tempeh Bolognese
Whole-wheat spaghetti is coated in a chunky tomato, carrot, and garlic sauce, then topped with crisp-edged tempeh. Ketchup and soy sauce give the tempeh a savoury, lightly sweet glaze without burying the tomatoes.
Roasted Tomato and Feta Lentil Pasta
Red lentil fusilli is tossed with blistered cherry tomatoes, soft roasted feta, garlic, and oregano. The tomato juices and a little pasta water make a glossy coating without a separate sauce.
Whole-Wheat Couscous with Chickpeas, Peas and Almonds
Whole-wheat couscous absorbs cumin-scented water while chickpeas and peas warm through in olive oil. Fresh lemon juice cuts through the nutty almonds with sriracha sauce to make it a little bit spicy.
White Bean Pizza Skillet with Mozzarella and Vegetables
White beans and cottage cheese make a thick, spoonable base for tomatoes, sweet peppers, and browned mushrooms. A brief blast under the broiler melts the mozzarella, while toasted whole-wheat bread handles the sauce.
Raspberry Almond Skyr Cake
This raspberry almond skyr cake has a tender, close crumb with bright pockets of fruit and a mild almond finish. Skyr and applesauce keep the slices moist, while ground oats and chia give the batter enough structure to cut cleanly after cooling.
Apricot Peanut Skyr Breakfast Squares
Soft-baked breakfast squares combine tangy skyr, deep peanut flavour, and the honeyed edge of dried apricots. Whole-wheat flour gives the slices a firm, portable crumb, while defatted peanut flour adds substantial protein and fibre.
Crispy Tofu Udon with Edamame, Green Beans and Broccoli
Crisp-edged tofu sits over chewy udon with green beans, broccoli and edamame, finished with reduced-sodium shoyu and toasted sesame. Keep the vegetables briefly cooked and add the tofu at the end so its browned surface stays intact.
Raspberry, Dark Chocolate and Peanut Breakfast Loaf
This breakfast loaf has a moist, close crumb from applesauce and skyr, with tart raspberry pockets and dark chocolate baked across the top. Defatted peanut flour gives it a pronounced roasted-peanut note without making the batter heavy.
Plain Skyr with Crunchy Granola
Thick plain skyr topped with crunchy granola makes a cold, high-protein breakfast with two clear textures and no extra preparation.
Brown Rice Risotto with Tempeh, Mushrooms and Peas
Brown rice keeps a pleasant bite while silken tofu and Parmesan turn the cooking liquid into a glossy sauce. Seared tempeh and browned mushrooms bring deep savoury flavour, with peas added late for sweetness and colour.
