Strapped for time and looking quick vegan recipes?

I’ve got you covered with my white wine lentils with mustard and thyme, this comforting vegan “butter” chickpeas recipe, and a gorgeous and simple summer garden pasta. Or, try out this flavourful ginger tempeh with coconut rice, or these smoky white beans with greens.

For more quick vegan recipes, The First Mess Cookbook has plenty of inspiration.
