1. Salmon and Dumplings
Justine isn’t just a vegan food evangelist. She also promotes
pescetarianism, which is a vegetarian-based diet, along with fish. It’s a great
way to get lean protein along with a solid rotation of veggies, plant-based
proteins and grains. Here, she and her partner adapt chicken and dumplings
into a fish version using salmon and in the Instant Pot as that.
2. Miso Mac
Mac ‘n cheese, but make it miso. Top this vegan pasta dish with
furikake (a seaweed seasoning) topping for a umami bomb. The best part is that
it only take a few minutes, not much longer than a boxed mac ‘n cheese.
3. Courgette Tart with Lemon Ricotta
This zucchini pie is so pretty, but Justine makes it seem easy,
too. It’s got us believing we could actually make this and impress everyone
with our skills!
4. Butternut Squash Dumplings with Rosemary Ricotta Sauce
Something that’s great about Justine’s cooking is that it’s
rustic, loose and imperfect. This butternut squash pasta recipe isn’t the
prettiest, maybe, but it still looks delicious and encourages you to try your
hand at a new skill for the sake of growing your cooking abilities.
5. Tiramisu Cookies
These cookies are huge, soft and chocolatey. They are one
of Justine’s most popular recipes for a reason.
6. Tunacado Sandwich
7. Brothy Cavatelli with Sundried Tomatoes & Parmesan
Another reason we love Justine is sometimes she’s a storyteller.
She has a series on recipes inspired by ex-boyfriends and this story about “Crazy
Mark” is a delicious as the soup.
8. Brown Butter Tteok-Bokki
For this fridge cleanout, Justine mixes Korean rice cakes
with tofu, spicy gochujang sauce and kale. It’s comfort food with a Korean
twist that does not shy away from maximum flavor.
9. Tofu Nuggets
The word "tofu" scares a lot of people away, but odds are you’ve
just never had it cooked well. This crispy coating makes the tofu irresistible and
might even please the pickiest of eaters.
10. Sweet Potato Beans
Justine teaches us that eating well doesn’t have to be
expensive. As often as she picks up groceries from the farmers market she shows
you how to use canned goods and DIY for a good meal on a budget, like this
cheap canned beans and sweet potato recipe with toast.
11. Crispy Lime Cabbage & Turmeric White Bean Mash
Something Justine has taught us is to crisp up our grains, whether
it’s using quinoa as a crunchy topping or making sticky rice brown and crunchy,
like in this recipe. Top with a bean mash and some roasted cabbage and you’ve
got dinner or a quick lunch.
