Kitchen Play List: BBC Radio 2
I needed to throw together a lunch at the last minute today...not because I wasn't expecting my guests..but we were out later yesterday than expected and I slept in this morning! Oops! lol. My sister and her little ones come for lunch on Saturdays and I look forward to it all week. The little ones are always happy to have star shaped peanut butter sandwiches and M always has a fresh pepper mountain on the side and N has her Matoes! lol. So I try and do myself, My Love and my sister something 'grown up' and yummy. I was going for a falafel, hummus, grated carrot wrap combo but the one time I want to buy something 'ready made' the supermarket have run out of it! Typical! lol. So plan B came to me quite quickly as I remembered some Beetroot Burgers I had in the freezer from I was 'testing' recipes for Colour Me Vegan. Now I had no luck keeping these little beauts together so I threw them into freezer bags to freeze. I have been making my own Garlic Aioli and mixing it into the heated crumbs and serving it 'sloppy joe' style in good wholemeal rolls. Very tasty. I know my sister loves beetroot as much as we do and she likes garlic so that was that really.
The open wrap with a good layer of Garlic Aioli, shredded romaine lettuce and a Beetroot Burger.
Not my best photo of a finished recipe but I had little ones racing around me..lol. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it! lol.
The recipe for the Beetroot Burgers can be found in Colleen Patrick-Goudreau's great cookbook Color Me Vegan.
The Rocket and Roses Garlic Aioli recipe can be found under the RocketandRoses VK recipes label and the Dips & Hummus label.
I liked this lunch but we had to have plain white wraps which aren't to my taste. I almost always have wholewheat...ah well..it was a tasty lunch and thrown together at the last moment...and we had some of the Strawberry Sorbet for dessert...so all was good...lol.
Enjoy ~R~
Welcome to Rocket and Roses Vegan Kitchen. My blog remains true to my original vegan (and mostly gluten free) kitchen, creating my own recipes and enjoying making recipes from the kitchens of others, but has evolved since its creation. Now it will occasionally include my other great passions - music, art, travel, health and all forms of literature. So once more I ask you to escape with me into the beautiful world where all these passions are celebrated...
