Hi first timer here.
Just realised I haven't got money to do a shop this week so decided to try and feed everybody (2 adults + 2 kids) from what I have in the cupboard. (Although I need to buy milk and bread daily.) So here goes.......
Mon - Corned beef hash
Tues - Stew made in slow cooker
Wed - Arriabiata Pasta
Thurs - Cheese and Potato Pie
Fri - In-laws for tea
Sat - Chips and chicken burgers
Sun - Some form of roast dinner (with frozen veg and chicken breast)Nerd No. 12452014 Challenges:Attempting to snowball to freedom!0 -
KitchenBunny, sorry for late reply...
I use one of two seasonings - "Rub your meat" (which I bought at a Good Food Show, but I think you can get off the internet) or Schwarz Cajun - both yummy.
Freakyogre...here is the recipe...
Just cut 1 chicken breast per person into bitesized chunks; mix with seasoning and a little olive oil to your taste and thread onto wooden skewers - these can either be grilled (as I do) on a medium heat for about 20 mins or griddled.
The roast veg cous cous consists of any spare veggies I have in particular, red onions, tomatoes (have som HG at the mo), courgette, red peppers, butternut squash (on super 6 at aldi) and sometimes carrots - cut into bitesized chunks and place in a roasting tin, pour over a glug of olive oil and some salt and pepper - use clean hands to mix together and roast in a pre-heated oven (about 220 deg C) for about 20-25 mins (checking after 20!).
Meanwhile, measure out half a cup of cous cous per person and get the same amount of hot stock (chicken or vegetable) prepared. When the veggies are cooked, pour cous cous into a heatproof bowl, add stock and stir, then add roast veggies and stir again, cover with a plate and leave for about 10 mins. Fluff up with a fork and add a little lemon juice if you like. Serve with the grilled chicken skewers.
Enjoy!
