Wanted to try a couscous salad that I have been doing for a while and see if I could get it sub 50p. Well, it worked out at 71p for the dish in the picture, and there is plenty there for two, so 35p each, billy bargain 🙂
Lunches
Vegan Sweet Potato & Lentil Soup
There is a lovely smoky hum from the paprika and a gorgeous texture from the lentils and vegetables, it’s utterly divine.
Soufflé Croûton Slice
They are deeply savoury, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. VERY moreish, so you might like to make a couple of extra slices!
Curried Pumpkin and Coconut Soup
Use up the innards of your Halloween pumpkin in this super easy and very tasty soup. Not Halloween? Use any pumpkin or a butternut squash
Lentil Soup, my go to lunch time soup
I love this soup, it is my go to for a soup for lunch. I usually add a tsp of ginger paste from a jar, a tsp of garlic paste, and a tsp of turmeric to give it a lovely spicy kick, and at 16p a serving, you can have a big bowl.
Peanut Oat Cakes with Roasted Onions and Green Pea Hummus
This recipe came about when I was challenged to create an 8th day on Meal Plan 1 using remaining groceries. Whatever nuts you have in can be used in place of the peanuts. Or make a nut butter and spread it on
Potato, Sweetcorn & Onion Cakes
Delicious little patties with crispy bacon and ketchup. Or could be eaten cold in a lunch box, or use the same ingredients to make a soup
Spiced lentil balls
These little lentil balls are very tasty and could be used much like falafel. Very many flavour variations are possible
Spiced Carrot Tart
Having made a delicious tart using soft cheese and peas, I wanted to try one using carrots and a bit of spice.
