It was so awesome to read that on the set of GOT they made specialty fake meats to use during filing for the vegans on set! I never know that Dinklage was a vegan!

Roasted sweet potato salad

  1. What is required:
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 1 small red onion
  • 75 g. mixed greens
  • 15-17 cherry tomatoes
  • dill
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • salt and black pepper to taste

2. Preheat the oven to 200C/400 F. Peel and cut sweet potatoes into slices. Add salt and pepper. Roast sweet potatoes for 20 minutes.

3. Slice the onion and cut cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters. Chop the dill. Mix all vegetables with the greens. Drizzle the lemon juice.

4. When sweet potatoes are ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool down.

5. Add sweet potatoes to vegetables and mix well. I like to have a big bowl of salad in the fridge. It will serve me at least ½ of the week. I do not add any dressing to the whole salad. Instead, I will add it to a smaller portion for dinner or lunch. If you follow me for a while, you know that my favourite is tahini dressing. Add some water for the desired consistency. If you don’t like the taste of tahini (why and how ), add just olive oil or vinegar dressing (balsamic vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, and mustard).

Everything on the picture is not what you think. “Chicken” is sticky garlicky tofu and fried rice is cauliflower rice with vegetables. I hope you’re hungry and ready for simple vegan meal.

1. What is required:

For tofu:

  • 1 block of plain tofu (180 g.)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp chili powder (optional)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic paste (or 1 garlic clove, minced)
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • spring onion and sesame seeds to garnish (optional)

For cauliflower rice:

  • 450 g. frozen cauliflower rice*
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • ½ zucchini
  • ¼ lemon juice

* if you cannot find frozen cauliflower rice, you can make your own in the food processor or use the cooked rice. In this case, better take leftover rice

2. Preheat the oven to 220 C or 420 F

3. Tear the tofu into medium sized chunks. Cover it with black pepper, salt and chili powder. Mix well. 

4. When the oven is ready, layer the tofu chunks on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.

5. While the tofu is baking, mix garlic paste, soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, and sugar. 

6. Now it’s time for multitasking The tofu is in the oven, start cutting your vegetables. Chop the bell pepper and zucchini into small cubes. By the way, I decided to use small onion heads from spring onions to fry with tofu so i sliced it as well.

7. After 10 minutes, remove the tofu from the oven. It will be crispy around the edges. Fry it in the frying pan with the sauce you mixed earlier. I added the sliced onion. I do not use oil when frying but if you don’t have a non-stick pan, fry it in oil.

8. I fried the tofu chunks for 8-10 minutes on low heat and topped it with green onion. I strongly believe Asian food and spring onion are married. Actually, spring onion is the indicator the food is Asian

9. In the same frying pan, fry the chopped bell pepper and zucchini for 3-4 minutes. Add cauliflower rice and cook for 5-6 minutes. Add lemon juice, mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes. I did not add spices because the cauliflower was with salt, pepper and other herbs. If you use your own home made cauliflower rice or normal rice, add salt, pepper, spices to your taste.

Voila! You are ‍ and…

and cheers!
