Mushroom and tomato savoury crumble gluten free and vegan 🥘

Hi everyone,

I think its a bit chilly for the time of year and I fancied some healthy comfort food, so I made a large savoury crumble. I used 225g of ground quinoa and plain gf flour (total) 110g coconut oil 1 teaspoon of low salt bouillon and whizzed it up in my food processor.

I had bought too many chestnut mushrooms and baby plum tomatoes so used them with onion garlic red lentils carrots peas ginger and dried chillis, I just washed and chopped the veggies put them in a casserole dish covered with water and bouillon and topped with the crumble mix and baked for around 45 mins 170C so I baked a potato at the same time. This is healthy comfort food and it's easy to cook plus the coconut oil gives the crust a really nice subtle flavour.

It's gluten free + vegan and packs a nutritional punch so how good is that...😊

Hey, This looks very filling Jerry and great it’s gf and vegan so it gets top marks from me. I’m going to give this a go....So the quinoa is in the crumble? This might be a daft question (it’s been a long day!) did you cook the quinoa first as I’d have thought it would be too hard if it wasn’t cooked?? Ali 😁🌱

Hey thanks Ali, what I do is pour some quinoa into a coffee grinder and grind it into a coarse grain and use it like flour. The lentils cooked from scratch with the raw veggies as there was plenty of stock, so I cooked everything from raw in the oven including a baked potato...

Its a nice evening so at least you can relax now...😊
