Help me use what I've got left

Galtizz

I think the recipes only stay on there for a year (so March 2004 was over written by March 2005) I've never been able to find recipes from over a year ago anyway.

BTW - How old did Phillip Schofield get :eek: can still remember him from the broom cupboard (the kids TV thing, not a brief encounter)

beyond baked beans seems to be a good site plus they are donating a penny a hit to fairtrade at the moment so keep looking at the site!!!

Could I suggest another recipe website that I frequent when I want to stretch the storecupboard :

http://www.cookingbynumbers.com

It's come up with some great recipes that even my fussy partner will eat

Ok, all I have left now is:
1 small potato
1/2 carton UHT milk
Pickle
Pickled peppers
Jam
2 tins baked beans
2 tins toms
small piece of cheese
small amt of marge (I mean small)
About 4 onions
Gravy
Peanut butter
Rice
Pasta
Spaghetti
Beanfeast pack
Lentils, barley, split peas as before.
Spices etc as before.

Gonna make spaghetti bolognaise.. and probably spaghetti and tomato sauce again.. any more ideas?

How about making a chilli-ish with the lentils, peppers and toms? Cook the lentils down into a thick soup and add the tomatoes, cook down and add hte chopped up peppers at the last minute (to heat through, rather than cook) add chilli sauce to taste and serve with some of the rice?

You could substitute the chickpeas as sausages for not-sausage casserole - cook the chickpeas up (in stock, made from half a stock cube - keep the cooking liquor back once you drain them) and fork mash them to break them down a little (not to a mush...). brown off one or two onions (depending on how much you like them and how big they are) until it's really soft (done VERY slowly you aren't frying them. In fact you could micro them at lowest power with a little water, but it wouldn't taste as nice) and stir into the chickpeas and add gray and the cooking stock to taste. This might be nicer with a wee bit of the tomatoes (you should probably have some left from the chili ).

How about a spanish omelet or filled pancakes( cheese and peppers ,onions etc rolled up in pancake , sprinkled with cheese and heated through)

why not use the potatoe, lentils, split peas etc with some water and stockcubes to make a hearty soup - this works for lunchtimes, if you have a flask, or can re-heat.

some good ideas everyone.. but please stop suggesting yummy things I don't have the ingredients for!

If you bought 6 eggs then you could stretch out the ingredients that you already have, and you can adapt any of the ideas posted to make use of what you have.

how many meals do you have to make out of this now and how many portions do you have of these things - ie is the spag enough for one meal or five?
