Course Main Course
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Wild Rice (cooked) (1.5 cups dry wild rice with 6 cups vegetable stock)
  • 1.5 cups GF Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 Sweet Potato roasted & mashed
  • 2 Flax Eggs (2T flax meal with 6T water)
  • 3/4 cups Vegan Mayo
  • 3/4 cups Vegan Parmesan
  • 3 T Tapioca Starch
  • 1 t Garlic Powder
  • 1 t Onion Powder
  • 1.5 T Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 t Salt
  • 1 t Cumin
  • 1 t Curry Powder

Instructions
 

  • Cook 1.5 cups dry wild rice with 6 cups vegetable stock or water and 1 tsp avocado oil. (Low boil 30 minutes covered, turn off heat and allow to rest covered for additional 30 minutes) 
  • Roast sweet potato at 400 for 30-40 minutes until soft. 
  • Mash potato in bowl and add cooled, cooked rice. Add all the rest of the ingredients and combine until mixture can hold together, adding more mayo or breadcrumbs, if needed. 
  • Form into 6 patties. Refrigerate patties for 30minutes-1 hr to firm up before frying.
  • Fry patties in a sauté pan for 5 minutes per side. 
  • I topped these with a homemade vegan ranch, mashed avo, tomato & microgreens! 

I love using Ian’s GF Breadcrumbs and Follow Your Heart vegan mayo! These burgers would be absolutely delish with a side dish of kale & quinoa salad!

Vegan Sweet Potato Cookies

These gluten free vegan sweet potato cookies are filled with warming spices, naturally sweet sweet potato & maple. Plus delicious hazelnut chocolate and VEGAN MARSHMALLOWS! I was also a bit baffled by the sweet potato casserole with marshmallows in my home country of the United States. Here in a cookie it makes delicious sense to me! I made up my own GF flour blend for these cookies but do feel free to sub. Perhaps with all oat flour, or another all-purpose flour of choice. Of course I can’t tell you if the results will be exactly the same but a little bit of experimentation is always fun. (Hey really isn’t all gf/vegan baking one constant experiment!) I don’t reckon these vegan sweet potato cookies will last very long in the house. Fortunately they do freeze well and will last for a week in the fridge.

The homemade gluten free flour blend took some trial and error. I do always find best results from using a scratch blend versus grocery 1:1 flours. Here I ended up using mainly oat, rice, buckwheat and rice bran. Rice bran tends to give a softer crumb to bakes and I’ve seen it used in a lot of the best GF cookie recipes lately. I only used 20g in these, but in the future I look forward to further experimentation. Buckwheat is forever one of my faves. Especially when paired with earthy, naturally sweet veg. Much like my favourite carrot cake recipe – Vegan Buckwheat Carrot Cake.

I loved using vanilla vegan marshmallows from Mallows (Freedom Confectionary) I also used Vego hazelnut baking chocolate for the perfect chunky bite. A lovely pairing with the cinnamon, coconut sugar (or brown sugar sub) and maple syrup. If you love baking with veg, also try my Pumpkin Blondies! Too much yum.

Golden Milk Overnight Oats 

These gluten free and vegan golden milk overnight oats are made with nourishing organic, GF oats with coconut milk and plenty of warming spices. Soaking oats help break down the starches and reduces phytic acid (an anti nutrient that can interfere with digestive enzymes and reduce mineral absorption). A simple soak can help your body reap the benefits of the nutrients in the oats easier! 

Overnight oats are high in resistant starch, a prebiotic fibre. This type of fibre passes straight through the digestive system until it reaches your gut and here the gut bacteria ferment the fibre helping to create a healthy environment. 

90% of your body’s supply of serotonin lies in you gut. Happy gut = happy mind! 

Turmeric is also an amazing anti-inflammatory antioxidant especially when paired with pepper. Great at improving so many things from heart health to depression. So perhaps call these golden milk overnight oats a lil bowl of sunshine. 🙂

Low-FODMAP Vegan Eggplant Parmesan

This Vegan Eggplant Parmesan is a wonderfully easy dinner idea for Meat Free Monday. Add in additional veggies or soy/sunflower mince, as desired! I really love the sunflower mince by Sunflower Family. The creamy cashew cheese creates the perfect “melty” consistency that most shop bought vegan cheeses cannot match. Just be sure you soak your cashews for 4-8 hours or overnight. You can also soften them quickly by adding boiling water to them and allowing them to rest for 10-15 minutes. Use passata with olive oil and herbs, or any store bought marinara sauce you fancy. If you are looking for more low-FODMAP information and support, I highly recommend NoisyGuts and their blog post for FODMAP Resources for Aussies with IBS!

Anzac Apple Strudel (Gluten Free & Vegan)

When I was staying at my grandmother’s house last summer I wanted to try and make her original apple strudel recipe. This one was filled with all the gluten and dairy so I wanted to make an attempt at a version I could enjoy! This strudel has a simple almond & oat crust. Almond flour has to be one of my favourite GF flours to use as it creates a lovely texture on nearly any bake. Being GF & vegan, this crust by nature is very crispy and crumbly which can be a bit fragile when constructing it – but hang in there it can be done! This bake is extra special with the addition of sweet Anzac biscuits. This Anzac apple strudel would be absolutely delicious with some almond milk ice cream!

Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 115 g Almond Flour
  • 150 g GF Oat Flour *I use GF Oats blitzed into flour (see notes for discount)
  • 135 g Potato Starch
  • 85 ml Neutral Oil *I used Sunflower
  • 60 ml Water
  • 2 Apples diced
  • 60 g Maple Syrup
  • 50 g Crushed Anzac Biscuits *I used GF Oats Anzac Biscuits
  • 1/2 Lemon juiced
  • 2 tbsp Flaxseed Meal
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • Almonds, Oats, Maple Syrup *for topping, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 160c
  • Whisk flours until combined. Add in oil and water. Kneed by hand until dough comes together and shape into a ball. Set aside.
    150 g GF Oat Flour, 135 g Potato Starch, 85 ml Neutral Oil, 60 ml Water, 115 g Almond Flour
  • Prepare filling, adding all ingredients together until well combined.
    2 Apples, 60 g Maple Syrup, 50 g Crushed Anzac Biscuits, 1/2 Lemon, 1 tsp Cinnamon, 2 tbsp Flaxseed Meal
  • Take dough and using a silpat or baking paper, gently begin to roll out into a rectangle shape (about 20x27cm or 8×11"). The gluten-free nature of this dough makes it rather fragile. Using another silpat or baking paper on top of the dough while you roll it out may prove helpful.
  • Add an even layer of filling to top of rolled out dough
  • Begin to roll, folding in edge of short sides and then rolling from long edge. This dough is crumbly, but also malleable so it is possible to fix up any edges or cracks that may appear in the dough as you roll it. Also using a silpat to press down firmly on the roll can help with structure.
  • Brush top of roll with maple or brown rice syrup and top with extra rolled oats or almonds (optional). Score the top of the roll gently with a knife.
  • Leave roll on the silpat or baking paper and transfer it all on to a baking sheet and bake for 40-45min.
  • Allow to cool before slicing

Bush Tucker Quinoa Stuffing in Smoked Tofu

Prepping Ingredients

This dish came together slowly over time with many edits along the way. I discovered many different herbs I wanted to incorporate and being new to Australia, I didn’t exactly know how they would pair. See my journey from the VERY beginning to invent this dish on my Australian Vegan Fine Dining blog post!

Final Dishes

This recipe creates twelve quinoa stuffed tofu pieces for plating a service of four. But it will make plenty of leftover quinoa stuffing, purees and gravy so you can be more generous with your portions or save them for future recipes! Or simply double the smoked tofu and create additional plates.

Notes

*If you would like to make your own tofu for this recipe start with soaking 2 cups of soy beans in water overnight. Drain and blitz beans with 8 cups of water (in batches, if necessary). Pour into a bowl lined with a muslin cloth and squeeze milk out of the bag. Add the soy milk to a saucepan, simmer and add 1 teaspoon nigiri (tofu coagulant) (dissolved in a couple tablespoons water) to warmed milk. Stir a couple times and cook for 5-10 minutes until water around coagulated tofu is clear. Pour into a tofu press and rest for 20 minutes, place in fridge to create even more firm tofu.

Vegan Sushi

A mixture of roasted sweet potato, avocado, capsicums, cucumber, rice vinegar marinated carrots, broccoli & ginger. So much fun to put together and honestly so delish.
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 3

Ingredients
  

Veggie Fillings

  • 1 Carrot (cut into thin strips)
  • 1 Cucumber (cut into thin strips)
  • 1 Red Pepper/Capsicum (cut into thin strips)
  • 1 Avocado (cut into thin strips)
  • 1 Yellow Pepper/Capsicum (cut into thin strips)
  • 1 Broccoli (cut into very small florets, roasted)
  • 1 Sweet Potato (cut into thin fries & roasted)
  • 1 inch Fresh Ginger Root (Peeled into thin strips)

Marinated Items

  • 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar/Sushi Seasoning

Sushi Rice

  • 2 cups Sushi Rice
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar/Sushi Seasoning (add 1/2 tsp of sugar if using plain rice vinegar)

Accompaniments

  • 4 tbsp Tamari/GF Soy Sauce
  • 10 sheets Nori

Instructions
 

  • Marinated Carrots & Ginger: Place thinly sliced carrots and ginger peels into two bowls filled with rice vinegar or sushi seasoning. Leave to marinate for as long as it takes you to prepare the sushi rice.
  • Sushi Rice: First be sure to thoroughly rinse your rice! (2-3x under water until it begins to run clear). 2 cups rice/2 cups water. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook until the water reaches a simmer.  Cook for 16-18 minutes or until all of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.  Remove saucepan from the heat and let the rice steam with lid on for an additional 10 minutes. Once cooked season immediately with 1/4 c sushi seasoning rice vinegar. Let rice cool completely (spreading it out on a silpat or baking sheet after cooking helps speed this process).
  • Thinly slice vegetables. Roast sweet potato chips, broccoli & red/yellow capsicum (if using) until soft.
  • Gently heat Nori sheet and spread on a layer of sushi rice. Wet fingers help with this process! Place combinations of desired veggies on to one end, firmly rolling up using a bamboo sushi mat. Use a wet knife to cut into desired pieces. Serve with tamari/GF soy sauce.
