3-4 minutes.

5. Add it to a large bowl, then add almond flour, baking powder, (sugar if you’re using
it) and mix.
6. Add chia egg, oil and date paste and whisk well. In the end add choc chips. Mix all
well, if the dough is to dry, add 1 tbsp milk at a time (it should take about 3 tbsp).
7. If you have time, place dough in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to roll the balls easier.
8. Divide the dough into golfball size balls and roll them. Flatten the balls into discs
with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon. Spread them widely on a baking
tray.
9. Place the trays in the preheated oven for 18 minutes.

crunchy on the outside but chewy on the inside.
Variation: chocolate chips can be replaced with raisins, dry blueberries, dry blackcurrants
or dry cranberries.

minutes, until just fork tender through the centre. Immediately run under cold water
to prevent further cooking.
2. For best results, refrigerate the cooked potatoes for about an hour. (This ensures
they don’t fall apart when slicing.)
3. Quarter the potatoes. Place in a large bowl.
4. Peel and mash the avocado in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, mustard, paprika,
and salt and stir into the avocado to create a dressing. Season with pepper to taste.
5. Add the dill, green onion, celery, onion, and avocado dressing to the potatoes. Toss
gently until everything is coated. Taste test and adjust seasonings if desired.

and breaks down quickly).

Shepherd's Pie
Linda Karlberg https://lindadoes.com/
Ingredients (6 servings)
• 2 large carrots
• 3 yellow onions
• 5 large mushrooms or 8-10 smaller ones
• 6-8 white potatoes (depends a little on their size, you want them to cover roughly the
entire area of your chosen oven dish when you lay them out on the counter
23
Instructions
1. Boil your lentils (unless you are using a tin) and peel + chop your potato and boil
these too. Mince your tempeh block in a food processor. Set aside when done.
2. You can either chop your veggies or use a food processor which takes about 1
minute to do. Blitz carrots, onion and mushroom together. Transfer your veggies to
a pot on medium-high heat and stir, stir, stir. You want them to release most of their
liquid.
3. Once you are satisfied that your veggies are somewhat cooked and have reduced
in size, add in your lentils and minced tempeh.
4. Season with tomato purée, spices and herbs. Add in your tomato passata. You do
not want the mince to be runny so add a little liquid at a time, just enough so the
tempeh soaks it up and cooks, and prevents it from being dry.
5. Drain your boiled potatoes and mash ’em up. Add in your dairy-free cream
alternative, salt and pepper. Leave some small potato chunks in for texture.
6. Transfer your mince to an oven dish.
7. Portion out the mashed potato: first as dollops, which you can then spread out
using a spatula or fork.
8. Use a fork to make some nice marks into the mashed potato.
9. Brush oil on top of the mashed potato.
10. Cook in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes. Turn to broil/grill setting for
an extra 3-5 minutes at the end, keeping a close eye on things so nothing starts to
burn.
11. Serve with a side salad and nice sauce.
