Vegan Green Olive Tapenade (oil-free) by @greensmoothiegourmet 💚 Recipe Ingredients 3 cups green olives 1 tsp rinsed capers 2 cloves garlic 1.4 cup chopped parsley 2 tbsp lemon juice . METHOD Process until smooth – I deliberately used green olives because I wanted a green spread but black can also be used... I spread my tapenade on whole wheat bread and rolls with slices of tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, kale leaves, microgreens, and avo slices for an awesome lunch! But I imagine this spread will be perfect on toast, and with crackers as a game-day dip! Enjoy! #letscookvegan

The smaller you chop the veggies, the faster they will cook 4) Heat 1 tbsp of sesame oil in a skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic and fry for 4-5 minutes over medium heat 5) Add the chopped carrot, green pepper, zucchini, the soy sauce, 1/2 cup vegetable broth and 1/3 cup coconut milk to the skillet and let simmer with a lid on for about 5 minutes on low-medium heat 6) Add the textured soy protein, the remaining 1/3 cup coconut milk, the peanut butter, curry powder, smoked paprika and salt/pepper to taste. Let simmer for a further 4-5 minutes or until it reaches the desired creaminess 7) Finally, add the noodles and stir to coat them with the sauce. You can now also add the peanuts and herbs (cilantro or parsley) to taste. Enjoy! #letscookvegan
