Ethiopian Cabbage and Quesadillas

My main dish today was the delicious Ethiopian cabbage dish that I make from time to time, the dessert was a coconut pudding with agar agar. I had some leftover quesadillas from a Mexican restaurant and added homemade ones for a bigger midmorning snack.

Couscous and cabbage

Nothing new here. For this lunch I brought couscous with a vegetable sauce, I added some chickpeas for extra protein. My side dish was an Ethiopian cabbage-potato-mix.
As second breakfast and snack I had little turnovers with a feta-leek-filling and a banana.

Cabbage with peanut sauce and mashed potatoes


This lunch contained cabbage with peanut sauce and mashed potatoes and a handful of grapes as dessert. My midmorning snack were ricepaper rolls filled with this wonderful salad from Poor Girl eats well:

Delicious, one of my all-time favourites!
I separated the sticky rolls with pieces of carrot.

Curried Aubergine



I'm more or less into two weeks' worth of photos for this blog, and I'm already running out of ideas for new midmorning snacks. Sigh. So today I brought a very unhealthy piece of milk chocolate.
The recipe for the main dish comes from Majzlik's A vegan taste of East Africa, it's the Curried aubergine with kidney beans. I combined it with bulgur and caramelized mini onions.

Ethiopian

I love to eat at Ethiopian restaurants, so I want to try some typical vegetarian recipes at home. This was my first take:

I made injera bread, a dish of fried cabbage with potatoes and carrots, and a salad. The injera did not turn out tasty at all (I'll have to go on experimenting) and I was not keen on the salad either, but the vegetable dish was totally delicious.
I had been making this late in the evening and had not any ideas or strength left to make something for second breakfast, so in the morning I just grabbed some pieces of krispbread and brought along a bit of margarine and a piece of camembert cheese.
