hi I'm Marta from Travel4Taste.com where I share simple recipes from all
[22]
around the world and today I will be sharing with you five easy family
[26]
friendly dinner ideas if you are subscribed to my channel you might know
[31]
that I have previously shared with you such a what my family eats in a week
[35]
video and was so well received that I decided I'll be making more of these and
[39]
today I'll present you my vegetarian version as a family we are more and more
[45]
inclined toward a plant-based diet and I thought that such meatless dinner ideas
[49]
might be also interesting for some of you but before we start know that as
[54]
always you can find the full list of the ingredients in the description box below
[58]
the video okay without further ado here are my five propositions roasting
[67]
vegetables is definitely one of my favorite tricks for a quick meal this
[72]
time I propose you to serve them with a slightly spicy lime and miso broth to
[79]
roast the veggies I simply sprinkle them with salt and canola oil then I put it
[87]
in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes I will also
[93]
add few broccoli florets and a handful of oyster mushrooms instead of cutting I
[100]
tear them into long stripes so that we can enjoy their lovely texture now to
[106]
the broth to prepare it I mix a tablespoon of yellow miso paste a
[111]
teaspoon of chili paste here I use the sambal oelek 2 teaspoons of soy sauce and
[117]
to this I add 1 finely chopped clove of garlic
[124]
and a piece of grater the ginger if you don't have fresh one you could replace
[131]
it with one teaspoon of powdered ginger I stir it all together and I add zest
[142]
and JUICE from half a lime and i dilute it with a few tablespoons of water so that
[148]
it is a bit thinner in a wok i shortly fry the mushrooms with canola oil and
[153]
salt after two or three minutes when the mushrooms start to get brown i add the
[161]
miso mixture and i let it fry for another 1 to 2 minutes then i add the
[173]
broccoli and i mix it a bit with the sauce i cover it with 2 cups of water
[180]
and i let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the broccoli gets a bit softer
[189]
such plate with rice roasted veggies and flavorful broth looks and smells
[195]
beautifully the next delicious dinner I will propose you here is an eggplant
[209]
lasagna a nice thing about this dish is that you can easily double the
[213]
quantities of the ingredients and make two meals at once it will still taste
[218]
great reheated the next day or you can even put it in the freezer and have a
[223]
ready meal for when you don't have time to cook I start by slicing two eggplants
[229]
which I then brush with a bit of olive oil and I sprinkled with salt I roasted
[238]
at 180 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes
[241]
next I cover the lasagna sheets with some warm water and I leave it to soft
[246]
and what I prepared a white and red sauce I start with the tomato sauce
[254]
because it will take few minutes longer to make i sear a diced onion with some
[259]
olive oil and salt then add 1 tbsp of tomato concentrate and I let it
[266]
caramelize for just a moment next add 2 cans of tomatoes which I squeezed into
[271]
pieces with my hands or with the back of the spoon
[276]
while it's coming to a boil I chopped few leaves of celery for me it fits here
[282]
very well but of course if you don't like celery you can replace it with some
[286]
parsley, basil or simply skip it I stir them season it with some extra salt and I
[296]
let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes or until I'm done preparing the
[300]
white sauce which is a cheesy bechamel sauce to make it
[304]
I melt 1/2 tablespoons of butter and I mix it with 2 tablespoons of flour once
[310]
it turns into a paste I add 300 milliliters of milk in three goes and
[316]
while steering all the time I bring it to a boil I let it simmer for 30 seconds
[322]
and I turn the heat off to finish I had 40 grams of coarsely
[326]
grated Parmesan cheese and I stir it in okay now as you have all the elements
[334]
ready let's assemble our lasagna I start by
[338]
putting 1/4 the tomato sauce on the bottom of the oven proof dish because
[343]
this will help the first layer of pasta to cook I cut the pasta so that it fits
[350]
well in the - without overlapping for it to cook evenly
[354]
next comes another layer of the tomato sauce
[362]
and a half of the eggplant slices I
[369]
cover them with a half of the cheesy bechamel sauce and I add the second
[373]
layer of pasta and then again red sauce the rest of the eggplant slices and on
[385]
the top I mix few dollops of red and white sauce and to finish I sprinkled
[391]
with Parmesan cheese and now it needs to bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 30
[396]
minutes and it's ready this eggplant lasagna is creamy comforting and even my
[410]
toddler loves it
[416]
next on this list is a zesty dill sauce with broccoli and potatoes potatoes and
[422]
fresh dill always make me think of my childhood in Poland and I actually
[427]
created this simple dish so that my children also gets to know these flavors
[431]
let's start by cooking the potatoes because this will take the longest I
[435]
simply peel them cut them into smaller chunks and I cover them with cold water
[441]
to it I don't forget to add salt then I bring it to a boil and I cook it until
[446]
soft while the potatoes are cooking I break the broccoli into smaller florets
[452]
and I kind of steam them in a pot with 1/2 cup of vegetable stock again don't
[458]
forget to add salt if your stock needs it I do it for only 5 to 10 minutes just
[464]
until the broccoli gets a bit softer but I definitely don't want to overcook it
[469]
while the broccoli is steaming I certainly drop a bangle of them and I
[479]
prepare a mixture of 2 tablespoons of flour with a bit of cream once the
[485]
broccoli is softer I remove it keeping the liquid in the pot then I add
[494]
1/3 of a cup of cream as well as the flour and cream mixture
[505]
if needed I seasoned it with salt and I add the dill once it comes to a boil the
[514]
sauce will thicken a bit thanks to the flour I finish it with one or two
[521]
tablespoons of lemon juice and some freshly ground pepper I bring it once
[528]
more to a boil and I turn the heat off to add the coarsely grated Parmesan
[533]
cheese by now the potatoes should be ready so I serve them on the side with
[538]
broccoli and I poured a dill sauce over I absolutely love such simple meals and
[547]
I couldn't be happier to see that both my one and three year old also enjoyed
[551]
it
[556]
my other way to serve a tonne of veggies for dinner is to make it couscous here
[562]
you can use whatever you have at home I like to make it with carrots zucchini
[566]
and kohlrabi I cut all the veggies into rather large chunks the kohlrabi carrots
[573]
zucchini and I also had an eggplant that needed to be eaten so I cut it into
[578]
smaller cubes and you will see it will cook down in the sauce in a soup pot i
[584]
sear an onion with canola oil and salt to this I add 1 tbsp of tomato
[590]
concentrate and I let it caramelize for a minute I'm using ginger
[596]
curcuma and to give it some North African oats
[600]
I had an excellent spice mixture called Ras el Hanout in the description box
[605]
below the video I will link for you the one I'm using here now all these spices
[610]
going to the pot and I let them heat up for about 30 seconds before adding 1 can
[615]
of tomatoes I crushed them a bit with the back of the spoon and I add 3 cups
[620]
of vegetable stock kohlrabi carrots and eggplant I let it all simmer for 15
[629]
minutes under a cover after this time I had celery and
[633]
zucchini which will need shorter time to cook I cover it again and I let it
[638]
simmer for another 15 minutes or until the zucchini is a bit softer but be
[643]
careful not to overcook it at the end I take 1/2 a cup of the sauce and in a
[649]
smaller saucepan I mix it with 1 teaspoon of harissa paste
[653]
I add one cup of cooked chickpeas and I let it simmer for five minutes I serve
[663]
the veggies over couscous with some extra sauce and the spicy chickpeas it
[670]
is really yummy
[679]
last but definitely not least comes my favorite Thai curry I have previously
[686]
shared with you this recipe but using a chicken this time I made it with the
[691]
veggies I was able to find in my fridge I didn't even have time as also I used a
[697]
regular one I start by chopping all the veggies into smaller pieces the secret
[704]
to this delicious Thai dish is a Panang curry paste you can easily get it in any
[710]
Asian shop or buy it online this curry paste can be stored in the fridge for a
[715]
long time so I always buy a big pot of it and again I will leave you a link to
[721]
the one I'm using I mix it with peanut butter and canola oil and I fry it for
[728]
30 seconds before adding coconut milk
[738]
once it all comes to a boil I add carrots and broccoli and I let them
[743]
simmer for 10 minutes next add tomato paprika red onion and basil and again I
[758]
let it simmer for another 5 minutes but careful you really want the veggies to
[764]
be still a bit crunchy
[770]
to finish I throw in the spring onion I season it with one tablespoon of maple
[777]
syrup and for saltiness soy and fish sauce from all the dishes I presented
[786]
here today this Thai curry is definitely the one that we have the most often and
[795]
even though it is spicy my toddler can also enjoy it when I dilute his portion
[801]
with some extra coconut milk so here we have it five easy family friendly dinner
