It’s easy to *social distance* when you’re honked up on garlic. Do it do it do it! This is confit garlic which lasts ages in the fridge, and tastes indecently creamy and mild. Mash it onto toast with flaky sea salt and avocado 🥑 🧄 Linky bio my friends 👆🏻

Party in my plants! And you’re invited! 📺 Tune into @sixoclockshow at, erm, 6 this evening!

We’re focussing on fast n’easy vegetarian *mid week* meals using seasonal and Irish produce ☘️ 🥔🥬 🧄

This Rainbow chard from @weekl.ie delivery box is making its debut on Irish telly tonight. @weekl.ie deliver nationwide now 🚚 but a quick google search will tell you if there’s a local box scheme closer to your home. Local veg will really help support Irish farmers, so let’s do this 💪 💥 #supportlocal #eatseasonal #seasonal #peoplepower #supportingirishbusinesses #supportingirish #mcnallysfarm #irishorganic #irishorganicassociation #organicfarming #organicfarmingandfarmers #virginmedia #sixoclockshow

Guaranteed to initiate a thunderstorm of happy hor

Guaranteed to initiate a thunderstorm of happy hormones, this vegan mud pie may even help vaccinate against bad moods. Yup. That's a whole lot of promise for a puddle of chocolate, you say? Maybe. But I can certify many a marriage is held together by dark chocolate (no names). If you missed the recipe in @lifesundayindo earlier this month, it will be online free of charge for a limited time. Linky bio, as my brain says 👆🏻🤪

This recipe will radically fabulise your lunchbox

This recipe will radically fabulise your lunchbox and your pipes. When your bowels feel like they could do with a good dose of WD40 or Barry White, it's time to make these bean bars. With all those beans, dates and flaxseeds, they are positively humming with gut-loving fibre.

You can, of course, soak whole flaxseed until it's as slippery as fertile frog spawn and scull it back. But I'm not too keen on penance 👀 Besides, when we white-knuckle superfoods, I'm convinced their magic evaporates. Pleasure is a superfood itself, and can nourish the soul like no amount of curly kale 🪄

Feel free to replace the orange zest with a good chai spice blend (you’ll find a recipe in my reel tab) or 2 drops of culinary-grade peppermint essential oil.

1/2 tin cannellini beans, drained
2 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil
12 Medjool dates, stones removed
4 tablespoons tahini
4 tablespoons cacao powder
4 tablespoons milled flaxseed
Handful of pumpkin seeds (optional)
Pinch of sea salt
Zest of 1/2 unwaxed orange

🔪Pop the drained beans into a food processor with your coconut oil and Medjool dates. Blitz until very soft. If your Medjools are particularly dry, you might like to add a squeeze of orange to loosen it up. If they are gooey, this won't be necessary.

🔪 Mash in the remaining ingredients (I tend to belt it again in the food processor, then stir through the pumpkin seeds).

🔪 Line a small lunchbox with parchment paper, and press the mixture in. You can pop another bit of parchment on top, and smooth it out with the weight of your fingers. Freeze until set, and cut into bars. Store in the fridge (or freezer) until the munchies hit. I add a frozen one into my son's lunchbox for his break in school. They hold perfectly.

Drizzly chocolate bits can help tempt even the fussiest of eaters 🏡 👶

Last Sunday’s recipe for paneer from my @lifesun

Last Sunday’s recipe for paneer from my @lifesundayindo column. Linky bio 👆🏻

Coming up this weekend, the easiest home-made curry sauce to suit this creamy paneer. It’s family friendly, but we like to lob in fresh slices of chilli for adults and crazy kids. I need that delicious sting and heat to distract me from the humdrum of lockdown, and get me prancing around like a defected Morris Dancer ✌🏻

Raw garlic woofs 🧄 But I sure love the stuff. T

Raw garlic woofs 🧄 But I sure love the stuff. That sulphur honk on your breath contains a compound called allicin. The thing is, allicin is not actually found in garlic. Allicin l is the prodigal child of two other special compounds in garlic, alliin and alliinase. When these hot diggity compounds meet (say, when we crush or mince garlic), I believe the mighty allicin is born. Oh Allicin!

This midweek meal is powerfully tasty. We add crushed garlic just before serving to maximise on allicin’s twerking technique. Tis a vegetarian spin on Rogan Josh (check out the full recipe reel one post back 👉🏻) Tastes great with quinoa, poppadoms, naan bread or black sticky rice.
