“This dish is like sitting in an outdoor café in Spain, and can make the dullest supermarket produce sing”, says Rukmini. Aubergines, tomatoes and peppers are roasted in one tin until sweet and juicy, then drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice and served with basil for a fresh and vibrant dinner.

Vegan West African Peanut Stew
A vibrant dish inspired by Rachel Ama’s Sierra Leonean roots, using sweet potatoes, peanut butter, tomato and plenty of fresh coriander. Rachel adds a whole Scotch bonnet here for fiery heat and flavour, but you can use half if you want a more gentle spice.

One-Pot Vegan Spag Bol
This quick take on a family favourite is cooked all in one pot, sauce, spaghetti and all.

Add nutritional yeast for cheesyness and soy or tamari for depth of flavour.

Lentils and cauliflower make for a budget-friendly meal in this homely soup. Swap in other root vegetables if you have them, from squash to parsnip or potato. “The flavour gets better as it sits, so I tend to enjoy the leftovers even more”, says Angela.
