LUNCH - Lemon & Lime Quinoa Salad with Chickpea Nuggets:
For the chickpea nuggets:
1 can chickpeas, rinsed/drained
2 tbsp onion flakes
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper
For the quinoa salad:
1 cup quinoa: http://amzn.to/1RHESFS
2 cups hot water
Salt
1 cucumber, diced
1 handful parsley, chopped
For the dressing:
1 lemon
1 lime
2 tbsp avocado oil/olive oil: http://amzn.to/1Uqpjqu
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celcius, then to a large bowl add the chickpeas, onion flakes, garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Using a fork, mash the mix until almost smooth, then take a small amount of the mix and shape it into little nuggets, place those on a lined baking tray and cook them in the oven for 20 minutes. In the meantime, rinse and cook the quinoa then make the dressing using the zests and juices from the lemon and lime, avocado oil/olive oil and garlic cloves. Mix well and add to the quinoa with the cucumber and parsley. Place some hummus at the bottom of your bowl, add in the quinoa then remove the chickpea nuggets from the oven and add those on last.
SNACK - Chickpea Nuggets with Pesto Dip:
For the pesto:
Handful fresh basil
1 cup pine nuts
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 avocado
3 tbsp nutritional yeast: http://amzn.to/20EtVKC
Juice 1/2 lemon
Firstly, blend the basil with the pine nuts and garlic until smooth. Next add in the avocado, nutritional yeast and lemon juice, and blend it up again until smooth. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days (it begins to turn brown because of the avocado!)
DINNER - Homemade Gnocchi with Pesto (Serves 4)
For the gnocchi:
3 medium potatoes
1 cup chickpea flour: http://amzn.to/25aNOOw
Salt & pepper
Handful cherry tomatoes, halved
2 handfuls fresh spinach, washed
Small handful pine nuts
Start by boiling the potatoes whole in a pan of hot water. Once they’re soft, leave to cool for a few minutes before peeling off the skins. Place the potatoes in a bowl and mash until smooth (or use a potato ricer!). Season with salt and pepper, then sieve in the chickpea flour so that there are no lumps. Mix that together with your hands to form a dough, then sprinkle some more flour onto the work surface and tip the dough out onto it. Knead that for a few minutes and then cut it in half. Take one of the halves and roll that out into a long sausage, then split that in half again and roll it right out. With a knife, cut those into little pillows, roughly around an inch in width. Get a fresh pan of boiling water rolling and drop them in, in small batches at a time, they sink to the bottom, then when they’re done within a few seconds, they float to the top and you can remove straight away. Put them to one side whilst you boil the rest. Once done, you can then fry them by adding them in small batches to a little olive oil for around half a minute, but keep the pan moving whilst they cook. Whilst the final few cook, pan fry the cherry tomatoes and wilt the spinach. Back in the gnocchi pan, toast some pine nuts. Once everything is cooked, place the gnocchi in bowls with a good spoonful of the pesto. Then add on the spinach and the tomatoes and the toasted pine nuts. Any remaining gnocchi dough can be frozen, or they can be frozen after boiled.
DESSERT - Chocolate Stuffed Dates:
