5 Versatile Free-From Yoghurt Recipes To Try At Home

Method:

1. Drain two tins of kidney beans, reserving two tablespoons of the water. Add the bean water and the beans to a bowl, along with a finely chopped red onion, a teaspoon and a half of both cumin and paprika, salt, pepper and olive oil. Add four tablespoons of breadcrumbs, a tablespoon of coriander stalks and then mash everything together.
2. Form your mash into a lump, divide into four and mould into patties. Place on a piece of baking paper on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and place in oven for 25 minutes, turning after 17 minutes to ensure equal browning.
3. Cooling yoghurt sauce time: Add your yoghurt to a bowl with three chopped spring onions, the zest and juice of a lime and a handful of chopped coriander. Mix everything together.
4. Slice up your avocados and toast your buns.
5. Assembly time. Dollop on some coconut yoghurt sauce. Then add your burger. Top with avocado, more yoghurt and then the bun. Take a huge bite and enjoy.

Method:

1. Finely chop your onion. Add it to a large tagine or frying pan with a splash of oil. Cook until soft, and then add two teaspoons of ground coriander and two teaspoons of ground cumin. Mix them in, and then add your cubed vegetables. Stir to coat in the spices.
2. Once the edges of the vegetables start to soften, add your tin of tomatoes, your tin of chickpeas (with the water) and 200ml of vegetable stock. Stir everything together, and then add four heaped teaspoons of harissa paste, a tablespoon of agave nectar and a good grind of pepper. Mix everything together, bring the tagine to the boil, and then turn it down to a light simmer and cover for 45 minutes.
3. After 45 minutes, remove the lid of the tagine – the vegetables should be nice and soft. Turn the heat up high and bubble the tagine down until you have a nice thick consistency.
4. Get your couscous on – add it to a bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow it to absorb the water, and then fluff it up with a fork.
5. At this point, add seven chopped dates and a large handful of pitted green olives. Stir them in.
6. Final step: the Coconut Collaborative Almond Yogurt. Add this to the tagine, stir it in. Throw in some fresh coriander, the zest of a lemon and a good grinding of pepper. Season generously with salt, mix everything together and remove from the heat.
7. Serving time! Add a large spoonful of couscous to a bowl. Top with the tagine, and then sprinkle some almond flakes and pomegranate seeds on top. Dollop over a bit more Coconut Collaborative Almond Yogurt and tuck in!

4. Add these to the wet mixture followed by the shredded carrots and chopped nuts. Stir well. 
5. Pour the cake mixture in the cake tin and bake for 30-45 minutes. Then, turn out onto a cooling rack, peel off the paper and leave until fully cool.

1. Fire up the barbecue.
2. Prepare your veg. Cut the courgettes, aubergines and peppers into bite-sized pieces, and break the cauliflower into small bite-sized florets.
3. Place into a large bowl. Add four teaspoons of cumin, two teaspoons of garam masala and the 120g pots of Coconut Collaborative Yogurt. Season well with salt and pepper, and mix everything together. Leave to marinate for 5-10 minutes, and then put your veg onto the skewers.
4. Pour over any of the leftover yoghurt marinade, and then add the skewers to the Barbie. They’ll need about seven to eight minutes on each side.
5. Time to make the carrot salad. Into a bowl, add three grated carrots, a handful of chopped mint, a handful of chopped parsley, the juice of a lemon, salt, pepper and olive oil. Mix everything together and set aside.
6. Coconut Yogurt tzatziki time. Into a bowl, add four 120g Pots of Coconut Collaborative Yogurt. Grate a cucumber, squeeze the gratings to remove excess water and add that to the bowl, with a handful of mint, the juice of half a lemon, salt, pepper and olive oil. Mix everything together.
7. Assembly time. Once the skewers are nicely charred and cooked through, remove from the heat. Take a warm pitta. Open it up, and spoon in some tzatziki. Then add a very generous helping of the spiced barbecued vegetables. Layer some of your carrot salad on top, scatter over some pomegranate seeds, spoon over some more tzatziki and get stuck in!
