I made a lentil mousakka last night but want to put that in the freezer.

So I have a tin of beans, a jar of Lloyd Grossman tikka masala sauce, plenty of lentils, plenty of mixed beans, some onions, half a swede, some limp celery and loads of herbs and spices.

I'm on a cupboard run-down

Hi Cazzdevil How about using the onions, jar of sauce and tinned beans to make a veggie tikka masala? You mention you don't have rice or potatoes, but if you had some flour you could make a flatbread to have with it perhaps.

I would definitely be tempted to add pretty much all of that in and then put in some random herbs to taste
But then I eat some very strange concoctions, my workmates say I am like the old lady in the Vicar of Dibley, making marmite and chocolate cake

Actually, I've got a really nice recipe for oven-baked onion bhajis so maybe a lentil curry with onion bhajis and flatbreads. Nomnomnom, I smell a plan formulating.

I'm sitting her shaking some double cream and think I may have overdid it.

Hi it's my first time posting on this thread although I'm an avid reader :T I don't know that I could do £1 a day per person but I do lots of cheapish, healthy recipes (despite the totals down in the signature ) I have become like a woman possessed recently adding up the cost of some of our favourite meals & working out a per person price

Thank you to Weezl & everyone else who has posted such fabulous recipes on this thread :A Fergus is, btw, a very cute & lucky boy!

You can make dried tomatoes at home, either in a drier or the oven. (Not enough reliable sun to use that). You cut them in half and do them at very low heat cut side up. The easiest way is to do them until they are at the chewy stage, and then store them in oil (cheapish veg oil is fine) so the air can't get at them.

The oil takes on some falvour and is good to use too.
