So Bjorn and his fiance came for dinner the other night and he and I had smoked venison wraps but she is a vegan, so what to cook for her?

Mung Bean salad.

Boil the beans for ten minutes then drain.

Chop a small red onion very fine, almost mince it. One beef tomato cut into little cubes and a handful of mint and a handful of coriander, also chopped very fine. Mix them together with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and let it sit in the fridge for about half an hour.

She liked it too, so win.

Coriander is a seasoning and not a vegetable.
Ditto garlic.
There are methods of cooking other than frying.
Excessive amounts of butter are bad for you, or even that there can be excessive amounts.

Come on, what shall we add to the list?

Fry (have you noticed everything I cook starts this way?) onion, garlic, chilli, ginger and cumin seed and then boil the mung beans for ten minutes until they give in (ie the poisonous enzyme is denatured). Then add stock, carrots, coriander, tumeric and cinnamon and cook until the beans are all soft.

Mostly because it's been months since I invented and blogged something. For two people.

Beat four eggs with soy sauce and some five spice powder. Fry spring onion, onion, broccoli cut up very small, three green chillis and about six cloves of garlic. Then pour the egg mix over and behold, omelette. Serve with rice, additional soy sauce and if you are mad like me some chilli sauce.
