Stumble into an ocean of pure lushness. And, ingest

This dish will demystify any belief that vegan food can’t be incredibly experiential and and lush.

Make this:

  • When late summer beckons – it time to have seasonal pomegranates and fresh cooling mint
  • When you’ve got grilled veg, roasted grains or even a Mediterranean spread. It’s time to dust off those shoes and get into the vibrant mood for an exquisite pairing
  • When you’re on the hunt for a vivacious unique dish for a picnic that’s warming and nourishing

Aduki Bean Casserole was inspired when attending a potluck organised by my friend Jessica. I wanted to have colourful dish that touched the colour wheel. After all, we eat with our eyes.

Aduki beans are just so versatile; there is something about their texture and distinctive taste. Fenugreek is one of those spices that I find really contrasts with the aduki beans. Why not give this Mint Pomegranate Aduki Bean Casserole a try?

This casserole dish is vegan.

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.
