We have had the pleasure of sampling some truly delicious meal kits from Grubby in the past, several recipes from which have ended up in our regular arsenal. This month they have teamed up with none other than London brunch favourite Mildreds in what might be one of the most delicious collaborations yet.
Vegan food often gets a bad rap, but Grubby has over 200 delicious and varied recipes, inspired by cuisines around the world, packed with flavour, and all around the 30 minute mark to cook, something that's definitely a hit after a long day at work. Having been pioneers of vegan dining in London since 1988 - long before veganism was even vaguely cool, the pairing is a match made in heaven. We had a box delivered last week to try them out for ourselves...
First up, the Smoky Chorizo & Miso Risotto with Panko Crunch. We didn't even know you could get vegan chorizo mince, so kudos for the introduction to a new ingredient. With a little bit of warmth from the Symplicity Chorizo Mince and a great crunch from the panko, not to mention a tangy garlic mayo, this was a real favourite. The portion size is also extremely generous - though the kit was for two, we got three hefty portions out of this one.
The second dish in the kit was a Sri Lankan Coconut Kiri Hodi with Pineapple Sambal, something we are definitely making again. Chunks of sweet potato in a creamy cocnutty sauce, a fantastically tropical kick from the pineapple and a lovely little something extra thanks to a sprinking of nigella seeds (vastly underrated if you ask us). This was an absolute winner.
Other recipes in the collab with Mildreds include the Fiery Korean Fried Chick’n & Kimchi Burger With Fries and Chipotle Tempeh Burrito Wrap with Lime Rice, as well as Portobello Mushroom Pot Pie with Thyme Pastry, Roasted Aubergine & Crispy Chickpea Bulgur Bowl and Crispy Teriyaki Cauliflower Lettuce Cups - but our votes are for these two. Available now throughout until 12th November as part of their recipe boxes, new customers can also get 25% off their first box.
Prices start at £41.25 for a 2 x person 5 x recipe box - inclusive of 25% discount.
