5X VEGA DISHES IN 15 MINUTES

Do you want to try new meatless dishes but don't have time to spend long in the kitchen? We’ve got your back. All these delicious veggie meals are ready in a quarter of an hour.

Braised leeks with eggs and za’atar

A dish from Ottolenghi that is ready in a quarter of an hour? You might not believe it, but this braised leek with spinach, where you cook your eggs in, is really that quick. You could compare it to a kind of green shakshuka.

The ultimate cacio e pepe

If you need ultimate comfort food, cacio e pepe is what you should make tonight. It does take some skill to make the sauce, but basically it’s ready two minutes after the pasta is cooked. And with a bit of luck, you also have all the ingredients for this grown-up mac and cheese at home.

Noodles with spring onion and ginger

If we trust anyone with our noodles, it’s David Chang. The man who opened one of the first noodle bars in New York surely knows how to flavor the chewy strands. This sauce with spring onion and ginger is ready in a few minutes and for how few ingredients go in, you’ll be amazed at the pronounced flavor. Make sure to make too much, this sauce is also very nice with fried fish or chicken, over rice or a fried egg.

Iranian herb omelet

This is one of my new favorites because it takes hardly any time and has so much flavor. Finely chop equal parts dill, parsley, and coriander, about 1 cup or 10 g of each. Stir in two beaten eggs and a pinch of salt. You’ll get a very thick green batter. Cook it in a frying pan with the lid on until the top is cooked. You don’t need to flip the omelet. In the meantime, stir some tahini, finely chopped garlic, and lemon juice into Greek yogurt. Cut cucumber and tomato into small cubes and serve these together with the omelet and the sauce in a pita bread.

Frittata with eggplant

Even more egg in this delicious eggplant frittata. First, you fry small strips of eggplant with Chinese cabbage and garlic and stir this together with ginger and soy sauce into your egg. The fresh salad with cabbage and cucumber makes this dish perfectly balanced. The recipe says to make the cabbage salad first, but I always do it when the eggplant is frying to save time. This way you easily get that quarter of an hour. Serve with toasted bread.
