Another lean fortnight. Going to have to be creative with the food I have.
Thank gos for frozen mince though. Means I can have pasta for a week at least.
Also no zombie movies before going to bed tonight.
If you grab some dry red lentils you can add them into the mince (they take 15-20mins to cook so you can pre cook or mix with a stock cube water and mince into savoury mince style business). Will help the mince go further while keeping the protein up.
I’ll have a look.
I’ve never eaten lentils before so no idea in its texture or taste or if I’ll even like it.
Then red lentils are the go - no pre-soaking and they boil up to nothing, just add thickness. Great in soup or any kind of stew. This is the cottage pie filling I made on the weekend:
Boiled it up until thick - if you have frozen veg chuck it in at the end. Omit the cornflour and/or up the tomatoes for more of a bolognaise.
That and some mash taters on top - I got about 4-5 good meals
