Thai Peanut Noodles with Crispy Tofu and Bok Choy
Crisp panko-coated tofu sits over rice noodles and tender bok choy in a peanut, lime, garlic, and ginger sauce. The sauce is savoury, sharp, lightly sweet, and thick enough to cling to every strand.
Lentil Spaghetti with Seitan Mince and Fresh Tomato-Carrot Sauce
Crumbled seitan is browned until crisp at the edges, then folded through lentil spaghetti and a slow-simmered sauce of fresh tomatoes, onions, and carrots. The carrot softens into the sauce, giving it body and a gentle sweetness without added sugar.
High-Protein Tofu and Green Bean Gözleme
Whole wheat and lupin dough wraps a savoury filling of browned tofu, green beans, tomato, skyr, and molten mozzarella. The pan gives each flatbread a crisp, mottled exterior while the centre stays soft and substantial.
Chickpeas pasta with Silken Tofu Zucchini Sauce
Chickpeas pastas are coated in a smooth zucchini and silken tofu sauce, sharpened with lemon and rounded out with nutritional yeast. It is a generous high-protein vegan pasta with a silky finish, not a watery green purée.
Lentil Pasta with Crispy Grated Tofu and Creamy Butternut Sauce
Red lentil fusilli is coated in a silky roasted butternut and oat cream sauce, then topped with crisp-edged grated tofu. Roasting the squash with garlic brings enough sweetness and depth to keep the sauce full-bodied without cheese.
Tomato-Baked Rice with White Beans and Mozzarella
Tomato-baked rice turns tender beneath a browned mozzarella & parmesan crust, with White Beans tucked through the sauce. Blended Silken tofu gives the tomato base a fuller body while keeping its clean, tomato-led flavour.
Protein Waffles with Lupin and Nuts Flour
Crisp-edged waffles with a tender centre, built on whole wheat, lupin, and de-oiled nut flours. Yacon syrup adds a mild caramel note while rapeseed oil helps the waffles release cleanly from the iron.
Chicken Lavash Wraps with Crunchy Vegetables
Tender cumin and smoked-paprika chicken is wrapped with crisp cabbage, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and a sharp garlic-yogurt sauce. The lavash is used as prepared bread here; no bread recipe or bread-making instructions are included.
Tempeh and Edamame Buddha Bowl with Light Peanut Sauce
Pan-seared tempeh, tender edamame, and cooked quinoa meet crisp carrot, cucumber, and red cabbage. A thinned peanut-lime sauce coats the bowl.
Sweet Potato, Silken Tofu and Quorn Chili Sin Carne
A thick, smoky chili with tender sweet potato, firm Quorn mince and black beans in a spiced tomato sauce. Silken tofu is blended in at the end for a smooth, creamy finish that keeps the chili rich and spoonable.
Red Lentil Fusilli with Silken Tofu Vegetable Sauce
Silken tofu makes a glossy, lemon-bright sauce that clings to red lentil fusilli, while zucchini, carrot, and basil keep it fresh rather than heavy. Most supermarket cream sauces achieve a similar texture with dairy solids, sugar, and an industrial supply chain.
High-Protein Skyr Tzatziki with Cucumber and Dill
A thick, chilled tzatziki with crisp grated cucumber, bright lemon, dill, and enough garlic to make it clear this is not a dessert yogurt situation. Skyr gives the familiar tang and a serious protein lift.
