The best way to get through a month of vegan eating? Discover new recipes, spend a little more time in the kitchen and try out stuff  you never thought you’d make.

And why not learn from the best?  Last week I discovered the blog One Arab Vegan, and found a treasure of recipes waiting to be tried.

The first one I tried was her vegan tofu halloumi. Why? Because I love, love, love halloumi, and – secondly – I always struggle with my tofu: how to make it so tasty I’ll be looking forward to eating it again soon?

Eating tofu never was a very tasty affair, it’s just something you do occasionally…proteins…proteins…you know….

Well, that has changed! I tried the recipe for tofu halloumi once, ate it twice, and I’m already looking forward to making my next batch.

The idea is simple: drain your tofu, rub with a mixture of sea salt, nutritional yeast, lemon juice and olive oil, dried mint and freshly ground black pepper.  Let it rest a while. Then bake…..in your waffle grill or toaster.

The result is simply delicious!

You can find the exact ingredients and a step by step recipe on One Arab Vegan. 

Enjoy!
