Roasted red pepper pasta

Use silken tofu to make the creamy dairy-free pasta sauce in this vegan dish. Don’t be tempted to use firm tofu, as it won’t work in the same way

Smoked pea carbonara

I’m a bit obsessed with this dish! Tofu is used in two ways: for the crispy pancetta and to produce the luxurious creamy sauce. It’s all brought together with pops of colour and sweetness from the peas.

Spicy red pepper dip & crispy harissa mince

This is my interpretation of an amazing dish, muhammara, a spicy Middle Eastern red pepper and walnut dip. It’s very easy to pull together, especially if you use a jar of roasted peppers. I’ve topped mine with crispy harissa mince for a more complete meal, but if you leave it out it’s perfect for parties, served with crudités or pitta breads, or spread on the inside of sandwiches.
