Iāve been cooking this a lot during Spring. So yum and easy to make after work. Unlike most of his recipes, this is quick and cheap with minimal ingredients lol. I use whatever greens are languishing in the crisper. X
Look, Iām not a meal prep girl. I donāt get why youād want soggy salads three days from now. Hereās the stuff Iām making to make into other things. Beans, Baby
1-2 containers cannellini beans
1/4 cup-ish onion of any kind
1 small container cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 lemon, juice
1-2 glugs olive oil
Salt
Black pepper
Fennel seeds
Shake and put in fridge in a place youāll see it. Add to salads, eat as is. Itās beans, baby. Carrots
Shaved into ribbons because youāre a fancy bitch and have a peeler.
Maybe Iāll season them, maybe not. Add to salads, sandwiches, eat out of the container standing in the kitchen contemplating life. Shallots
Sliced
Fried until crispy
Place in container with lid
Sprinkle in flakey salt
Shake it Add to salads, soups, eat out of the container with a hunk of cheese and tell yourself itās a cheese board. Roasted Sweet Potatoes
1 large sweet potato, chopped
Roast how you roast things Add to grain bowls, salads or on its own. Itās good, youāll be so impressed with yourself when you eat it the next day. Other things that are good-
Veggie lentil soup
Salmon, done any way to eat any day Staring at containers stacked in your fridge on a Sunday afternoon and then ordering delivery to not ruin it.
This is my current favourite tasty stew, Halloumi works surprisingly well and hot olives slap, plus they're both salty. Ingredients:
Half a jar Kalamata Olives
2 Tins finely chopped tomatoes (try and get the nice stuff)
2 Blocks haloumi
2 Aubergines
1 Tin of Cannellini Beans (optional)
1 Onion
2 Cloves of garlic
2 Tbsp Harissa paste
Whatever herbs you have to hand that you think will work
Stock cube
Olive oil Method
1. Cube the haloumi and brown in pot with oil then set aside and do the same with the aubergine.
2. Dice the onions and fry them off in the oil, when they start to turn translucent add the minced garlic.
3. Once the garlic is done cooking dump in all the other ingredients and then add water until it's kind of gloppy(but not sloppy)
4. Cover and cook for 30 mins.
5. Serve with brown rice and nice olive oil for health. Thanks for reading my recipe, leave a comment if you try it x
One pot makes four hearty meals!! Cheap and easy and great to spend an hour on it one night and be sorted for half the week.
Brief recipe:
Heat oil/butter
Finely chop at least three cloves of garlic and warm
Throw in some cumin, turmeric, chilli flakes, and any other spices you like (I use a korma blend with different ones in)
Keep stirring so garlic doesn't burn and when they're fragrant throw in a cup or so of lentils to toast (I like red unsoaked ones)
Add in 1 or 2 sweet potatoes (cubed into small pieces) and keep stirring
Throw in a can of good chopped tomatoes
Add a cup and a half of hot water and vegetable stock
Big stir
Bring to a boil
Ten minutes later reduce to simmer (goal is to cook off the water)
Simmer for five minutes
Add in a can of coconut milk and stir
Stir in a couple handfuls of kale to wilt
Add salt and pepper
Once you're satisfied it's reduced enough (around 20 mins cooking time) turn off heat and leave for ten minutes Done! Healthy and delicious
Late news and weather on this one. A depraved little medieval tale about human behavior, society, class and faith, and all the cognitive dissonance and moral fantasy that comes with them. Loved it.
