A Salmon pasta lunch and other things
I had Smoked Salmon pasta for lunch today, with a slight variation in the sauce. I sauted the onion, boiled the pasta, adding a handful of green beans towards the end of the cooking time. Then I just mixed everything together, including the salmon trimmings,...
Sardines on Toast, from 38p, and most of the Omega 3 you will need for a week
A very simple and super quick lunch. A tin of sardines in tomato sauce on a couple of slices of granary toast. Just to up the tomatoeyness even more, I added a handful of cherry tomatoes as well. A tin of sardines in tomato sauce varies quite a bit in price. The...
A reprise on semi-freddo, and lots more flavour ideas
Remember this? Instant semi-freddo After dinner this evening, DP announced that he wanted a pudding. He was angling after a crumble, but I really didn’t want to make one. So I dug out a bag of mixed berries from the freezer, picked out all the strawberries and whizzed...
Mango, coconut and feta pasta
Tried a variation of the Chickpea, Mango and Coconut Curry today. Made the sauce as usual, then added some green beans from the freezer. And then instead of rice, nan, or anything else like that, I stirred it through pasta. And popped some little bits of feta on top....
Green Thai Kidney Bean Curry, 59p
We had an oldie but goodie for tea this evening. Thai green curry. I used a mix of carrots, a red and green pepper, Savoy cabbage, tomatoes and an onion. The protein part was paneer, and we had it with brown basmati. I tried costing it, but it came out to 98p, and...
Fishy Tortilla, 19p plus salady bits
Tried a wholemeal flour tortilla today at lunchtime, just to see what it would be like, and it was scrummy I used the same ingredients as before, but made 2 larger tortilla, rather than 4 smaller ones. Needed my biggest pans to do it, and they were lapped up the sides...
Leftover chicken and vegetable crumble
Delicious, creamy and flavoursome. You could make any tasty mix and pop a crumble over it, and in the process, either stretch out a few shreds of meat, or use up some assorted vegetables and beans.
Spring green breakfast pancakes and really good tortillas
Couple of successful experiments today. First up were these bubble and squeak pancakes this morning. I had made a curry a few days previously, including a side dish of some spring greens swooshed up with a few spices, tomato, garlic and ginger. They were lovely by the...
Breakfast Bhajis 31p, abortive plans and huge panes of glass
Don’t like sweet things much? How about these spinach and onion bahjis
Novel uses for radishes
I was cruising around the internet last night looking for ways to use radishes, as the box I grew in the greenhouse is now stuffed full of the most perfect specimens. Not a slug bite out of any of them, lovely size, nice and peppery. Gorgeous, the best ones I have...
Lentil Dumplings, with Tomato Sauce, 20-30p a serving, + green vegetable
This recipe is by request. It is from my recent LBL week. On the first day I had planned Lentil dumplings with tomato sauce. I have added more flavourings here than I had available on LBL! I had allocated 100g of flour and 100g lentils, but that was far far too much...
