Ingredients

  • 1 red onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp water + more if needed
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp ground cumin seeds
  • 1 cup broccolini (or broccoli), roughly chopped
  • 1 cup button mushrooms, roughly chopped
  • 1 x 250g block plain tempeh, crumbled
  • Handful cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup cooked kidney beans, mashed (approx ½ a 400g can)
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste, dissolved in 1 cup warm water
  • 2 large corn tortillas
  • Handful raw mixed greens (e.g. baby spinach, rocket, lettuce), shredded

Directions

  1. Sauté the chopped red onion in a pan over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of water for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the spices (turmeric, coriander and cumin) and a splash more water if needed, and cook for another 30-60 seconds.Add the broccolini, mushrooms, tempeh and cherry tomatoes to the pan and stir to combine with the spice and onion mix.
  3. Stir the tomato paste into a cup of hot water, then add this to the pan along with the mashed kidney beans. Stir well, then reduce heat and cover to simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Dollop a generous serving of bean mix into each tortilla, top with fresh greens, roll up, and serve!

Chef's Tips

  • You can also add the fruit or toppings to the blender at step 2 (or 2 tablespoons cocoa) to create different nice cream flavours such as strawberry, peanut or chocolate.
  • This tastes just as good as regular ice cream but is super healthy; I love it!
  • Best eaten immediately as sadly it does not freeze well once blended.
  • This is delicious served on wholemeal pancakes for breakfast!
