From flavourful comfort food to juicy vegan burgers, these easy-to-make recipes are perfect for quick meals or healthy dinner ideas that are sure to leave you and your guests with a new appreciation for a plant-based diet.

9. Kafta bil Seniyeh

   Another traditional dish from our favourites is, Kafta bil Seniyeh which features fried (and then baked!) potatoes with tomatoes and a side of rice. It’s comfort food made vegan-friendly and delicious thanks to our plant-based kafta, that brings in all the flavour to this dish.

10. Karniyarik

    Last but not least is Karniyarik, our eggplant dish stuffed with our plant-based mince meat, tomatoes, bell pepper, and onions. We recommend long, thin eggplants for eight servings, which “float” like tiny boats in a thickened tomato juice. This recipe takes slightly longer, but who does not agree that good things are worth waiting for?
