Root Vegetable Bhuna

Taken from 15 Minute Vegan: On a Budget by Katy Beskow (Quadrille £15) Photography ¬©Dan Jones

I always roast up too many vegetables to go with Sunday lunch. Sometimes accidentally, sometimes intentionally; either way, they make a perfect addition to this simple and spicy bhuna.

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.
