Instructions: Bring water to boil. Salt the water generously (don't worry most of it will be drained out). Add the sky's mince and cook for approx. 15 mins or until the mince has absorbed most of the water and doubled I size. The texture should be slightly al-dente. Drain, rinse with cold water.

Add peppers, onions, garlic and red chilli flakes and cook these in a low to medium heat for 7-8 minutes or until the onions and peppers have softened and are starting to take on some colour. In a blender, puree the tinned tomatoes and then add this to the saucepan, along with the salt, tomato purée and hot sauce.

#Repost @vegolab • • • BBQ Black Bean Meatballs 😍🌱 📸: @foodbymaria Recipe: Ingredients: 1 cup oat flour, process rolled oats for 30 seconds in food processor 1 cup oats 1 can black beans, strained and drained 2 tbsp extra Virginia olive oil (plus some for cooking) 1 heaped tbsp tomato paste Season to taste 3 cloves garlic 1/4 cup white onion, chopped 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 2 tbsp flax seeds 1 1/2 tbsp paprika 1 tsp hot sauce . BBQ Sauce: 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 medium white onion 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped Season to taste 1 tbsp hot sauce 1 28oz can crushed tomatoes 1/4 cup white vinegar 2 tbsp coconut sugar 1 tbsp mustard powder 1 tbsp vegan Worcester sauce 1/2-1 tsp liquid smoke 2 tbsp molasses (optional) Garnish with fresh mint . Instructions: Pulse your one cup rolled oats in the food processor until a flour forms. Then add the rest of your ingredients into the processor and blend till everything is well combined.  You want to ensure there is no loose flour, this is how you know you’re done blending. Begin rolling into “meat balls” I like using a tbsp. to measure or even a small ice cream scoop.  Please note, you’re balls will cook differently depending on the size you roll them. Once your balls are rolled, set them into the fridge while you prepare your BBQ sauce. Into a medium sized pot add your oil and heat on low for a 1 minute.  Add your onions and cook for 5 minutes or until fragrant and translucent.  Add your garlic and cook for another minute.  Add the remainder of your ingredients and simmer on medium for around 10-15 minutes, stir often to avoid sticking or burning.  Taste and ensure it has the flavours you desire.  If it’s perfect then remove from heat, once cooled enough to handle use a hand blender to thicken and blend. Set aside. Into a large non stick pan heat  your olive oil for 1 minute or so.  Add your balls and cook for around 1 minute on each side.  Add your desired amount of BBQ sauce to the pot and cook for around 5-6 minutes, on medium, with lid on, until your balls are cooked throughout. Serve hot. Enjoy! #vegolab https://www.instagram.com/p/BrMmRwwHDEY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f2yte9pn1ytz

#Repost @vegolab • • • Creamy Polenta + Red Wine Mushrooms 🍄🍷 📸: @rabbitandwolves Recipe: Ingredients: Creamy Polenta: • 4 Cups Water • 1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt • 1 Cup Corn meal • 3 Tablespoons Vegan butter Red Wine Mushrooms: • 1 Tablespoon Olive oil • 4-6 Cloves Garlic, chopped • 16 Ounces Mushrooms (sliced) • 1 Teaspoon Rosemary, dried • 1/2 Cup Red wine, vegan • 3/4 Cup Vegetable broth • 1 Teaspoon Corn starch • Salt and pepper to taste . Instructions: 1. First, start on the polenta. Bring the water and salt to a boil in a medium sized sauce pan. Then pour the corn meal into the water in a slow steady stream, whisking the whole time. Make sure it is very slow, or the corn meal will clump together. Make sure it is all combined and there are no lumps. 2. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Stir every few minutes. It is done when it is nice and thick and has absorbed all the liquid. 3. In the mean time, make the red wine mushrooms. Heat the olive oil on medium high in a non stick skillet or cast iron skillet. Add the chopped garlic. Saute for a minute. Then add the sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. 4. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are starting to brown. 5. Then add the rosemary and red wine. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes, reducing heat as needed. Or until the mushrooms have absorbed most of the wine. 6. Now, whisk together the veggie broth and corn starch. Then add it to the mushrooms. Simmer for a few more minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with another pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat. 7. Once the polenta is nice and thick, add the vegan butter, and stir to melt the vegan butter into the polenta. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat. 8. Now serve immediately with the creamy polenta in a bowl and top with the mushrooms and red wine sauce. #vegolab https://www.instagram.com/p/BrMk48dnYfd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=egtettsx83z3
