Absolutely obsessed with this recipe! After seeing a Tik Tok breaking down the Moroccan dish of Zaalouk I knew I had to try - and naturally - add my own twist to it. From the original recipe i added in mushrooms, cayenne pepper, and paprika. I also knew I wanted to pair some bright greens to round out the meal. I made the parsley sauce on a whim and it ended up bringing the entire dish together with a zesty and herby brightness. This is a plant based meal I will be making for years to come - and it’s perfect to entertain guests.

Look no further than Jackfruit, a spiny tropical fruit which can easily resemble the texture of a pulled beef or pork with just a small amount of work. I love the versatility of seasoning the jackfruit with Mexican flavours, as the meat alternative can then be used in bowls, tacos, burritos, nachos, or stuffed peppers!
Read MoreA spicy take on a classic comfort food. I made the mistake of adding three spicy Thai Chili’s to my first batch, and it was much too hot for me to consume. On the second try I scaled it back to one pepper, and it had the perfect amount of kick. You can also omit the pepper altogether if you are just looking for a savoury and herby flavour.
