@JustinParke here again, the #plantbased curation man with a plan"..... to highlight Hive's finest #plantbased recipes. The #plantbased tag is still growing, and we thank those of you choosing to add this to your #naturalmedicine posts.
I love seeing new chefs using the #plantbased tag, as it makes my curation job much easier. This week there was simply an abundance of delicious recipes, and it was truly difficult to widdle it down to just a handful to share with you all.
There were a lot of salads this week, so I shared three different inspired salads from

A side note - you may have noticed that we've moved from

How to Be Curated by PLANT BASED
Use the tags #naturalmedicine #vegan or #plantbased
WE don't mind what community you post in - although we prefer you post in the Ecotrain or Natural Medicine communities!
Ensure your recipes are plant based - although we don't preach any diets, this curation would like to focus on plants rather than dairy or meat additions to recipes.
Use clear, well focussed photographs - and ORIGINAL content!
🔮 Eat Your Purples 💜
This awesome recipe post starts off with the very appropriate words "Eat the rainbow," and that is a very fitting way to start off such a colorful salad. During our brief stay in Ecuador, we enjoyed a lot of quinoa and purple potatoes, but in Suriname, although still South America, these items are either or overpriced or transported from thousands of miles away, or in most cases, both.
This lovely colorful salad takes me back to Ecuador, where we could easily prepare this salad by making a quick trip to any corner store.
👩🍳 A Little Less Sinful 😈
Samosas, especially deep-fried ones, are delicious, there's no debating that, but they aren't exactly the healthiest food around. Like all things, moderation is key, and a healthy balanced diet can certainly involve samosas.
🍪 Cookie Monster 👹
I do feel like a bit of a cookie monster lately, because I can't seem to put a curation together without involving cookies of some kind. These banana-based cookies contain easy-to-find and affordable ingredients, and look absolutely delicious.
Over-ripe bananas are far from useless, and there are so many cool recipes that can make use of them. This cookie recipe is a perfect example.
😭 Don't Cry, It's Just Job's Tears 😂
Deprived of purple potatoes, I shall soldier on, but I still wouldn't mind to try this salad, and of course Job's tears too. I always love seeing creativity in the #plantbased kitchen, and this recipe is certainly creative and original.
👨🍳 Finger Food 🤏
Hummus with an Argentine twist and homemade crackers.....sounds like a winning snack to me. Our snack queen 
I haven't had hummus in a long time, as sesame seeds, oil, and tahini aren't common in Suriname, and are sold in small quantities with prices similar to hard drugs, so we haven't eaten it in over a year. Shame cause this snack plate is just what I need next to the computer as I curate #plantbased recipes.
⚖️ Never Enough Salad 🥗
This is
I like that this salad makes use of the amaranth grain. In all my travels, I have rarely seen a country/culture that both consumes the amaranth leaves and makes use of the grain as well. It seems to be sort of an east/west divide, with Asia more commonly consuming the leaves and Europe/North American eating mostly the grain.
🥘 Gobi, But Not The Desert 🐫
So happy that
Aloo gobhi is one of my all-time favorite soul-food dishes, and one awesome bonus is it's quick and easy to prepare. This chef is right when recommending this dish be eaten with some kind of Indian bread. It's hard to explain, but this dish is not ideal for rice, as it's already quite dry. Pair it with rotis or parathas and you have awesome meal.
We hope you get involved with posting lots of yummy #plantbased #vegan #naturalmedicine #ecotrain recipes! Both communities are now also supported by OCD, so good quality posts might also get a little bit of extra love. Stay healthy, stay safe, and stay happy!
