Global Animal, Megan Cross
Hungry? Want something delicious in under thirty minutes? This weeks meat-free monday challenge is my favorite go-to lunch recipe. I always have quinoa on reserve and usually have fresh garlic and ginger lying around. Those three are a mean combination. Just add whatever protein available, beans, tofu, seitan etc. Plus any veggies you have. The tahini-lemon dressing is one recipe that every at-home chef should know. It’s impressive, versatile and delicious.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a sauté pan, shallot garlic, ginger, cook for a few minutes. Add bell pepper and beans cook for about 5 minutes add wine and turn heat down to low. Salt and pepper to taste.
