Brussel Sprouts have a bad reputation but I personally love them, especially roasted. This salad is an excellent way to use roasted sprouts because the nuttiness of the buckwheat compliments them well. This recipe is gluten free and vegan and makes a filling lunch or healthy dinner.

Carrot & Lentil Soup
Overindulged this Christmas? Me too. Every year…
Homemade soups are my favourite meals when I’ve over done it on the festive goodies and this carrot and lentil soup is quick to make with a few ingredients. This recipe is also gluten free and vegan.
Serves 4
Cheesy Polenta Bowl with Spinach and Mushrooms
Instant polenta is a great base for a very quick dinner and a steaming bowl of smooth polenta makes the perfect gluten free comfort food.
Mushroom & Pesto Stuffed Aubergine
These stuffed aubergine will impress dinner guests but are so easy they make a great weeknight meal too. We had them with gluten free maize cous cous but they also go well with salad for a light lunch or rice for a filling dinner.
Cauli Fried Rice
Cauliflower used to just be a vegetable side to your roast but now it can be the main event for any meal. I recently used it to make a pizza base but it also makes a great substitute for rice. Try this low-carb gluten free version of a classic dish, egg fried rice. So simple to make but really delicious. It makes a perfect healthy week night meal for two or as a side dish for four.
Mexican Bean Quinoa
This is a great vegan and gluten free store-cupboard dinner. No fresh ingredients are required to make this super healthy and filling dinner so you can easily throw it together at the end of the week when you’re due a food shop. It tastes great and minimal effort is required. Leftovers are great cold for lunch the next day.
Gluten Free Couscous and Feta Salad
I recently picked up a box of Gluten Free Couscous in Tesco and was curious to try it. Couscous is tiny granules of durum wheat so this gluten free alternative is made of tiny granules of maize. The couscous is really quick to prepare and although the texture is very different to normal couscous it’s nice to have an alternative to use in your favourite couscous recipes. I quite liked it and it made a nice change from quinoa which we eat regularly.
This is a refreshing and tasty salad, great for a hot summer’s day and takes minutes to prepare.
