    Happy weekend hivers and vegan family 🥰💕. I hope you are all doing great, enjoying the weekend.

    Today’s recipe from my kitchen for lunch to you friends is a steamed vegetable sauce of carrot 🥕, red onions 🧅 and roasted sesame that is full of nutrients for good health. How more nourishing we can prepare our foods by mostly steaming them.

    Steaming our foods most times especially vegetables 🥗 than frying them is the best way we can get more nutrients and vitamins from them due to how steaming leaves the foods moist and tender which is healthier than always frying our foods which adds fats.

    Although many of us may love 💕 fried foods but this in turn leaves us with lots of calories and saturated fats especially when we are not using the best vegetable or vegan seeds oils , making us consume unhealthy recipes.

    Here I share the step by step for preparing this recipe.

    My love for plant 🌱 based foods is making me try recipes in the best new ways I could and this very steamed sauce is one I love 💕. I feel it’s healthier and more nourishing than when its a fried sauce.

    We can enjoy the sauce alone as light lunch if we are not too hungry because it was as filling as that light lunch many enjoys when they are not really hungry. Hope you enjoyed friends

    Or this steamed sauce could also be served with any choice of food to make it a more heavy lunch 🥙 or dinner 🥘. Here above I have served the sauce with some pasta 🍝as lunch. Although it looks heavy which could be for two servings.
