Sweet potato, beetroot hummous and a green salad

One of the things I love about cooking vegan food is how much it lends itself to creativity. When you pare back the ingredients so much, it forces you to turn simple things into something wonderfully tasty. Like this very easy supper... Potato, chickpeas and salad was made into a seriously punchy plate of food. You've just gotta know which store cupboard ingredients to throw at it. Everyday hummous got fennel and beetroot, sweet potato got rosemary, some warming spices and spring onions and the old salad got a classic French dressing. Frying some of the tamari seeds on with some coriander lifted it even more. When you aren't spending money on meat and cheese which are expensive you can afford to get a good variety of fresh herbs, seeds, nuts, spices etc to lift everyday veg into something really special.
