Vegan ‘nduja paste
Originally a spicy Italian salami paste used in sauces, dressings, salads, pasta, and more, this umami-filled vegetarian/vegan version is absolutely brilliant with watermelon and feta cheese as a salad, or in a tomato sauce with fresh pasta to add an extra kick of spice and flavour.
Ingredients
45 grams of sundried tomatoes (not in oil)
1 clove of garlic
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 heaped tsp miso paste
1 tsp fennel seeds
1/2 hungarian wax chilli, or two birdseye chillis, or chilli to taste
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp neutral oil like sunflower oil
Method
- Soak the dried sundried tomatoes in 1/4 cup boiling hot water for about 30 minutes.
- Cut up the chilli and garlic into fine slices, and then put into a blender or small food processor, along with the other ingredients including the tomatoes and the water.
- Mix together until you get a smooth paste.
- Store in the fridge until you need to use it!

Jagadānanda
Jagat is the world, ananda is bliss.
The true nature of this world is bliss – divine joy and peace. The free activity of each individual being is the enjoyment of the world.
The bindu symbolises the supreme point of consciousness from which all creation emanates and returns. The spiraling waves are spanda, the vibrant and alive pulsation of consciousness from this one centre.
