Loaded fries or savoury mince?CCW007 said:Loving the sound of mystery boxes out of the freezer, I have a few of those too!
Need some ideas for using dried soya mince, only used it once in a fake bolognaise and it wasn't great so any inspiration would be welcome.
Was planning on having stuffed courgette (marrow) for dinner tonight but ran out of time so that may be dinner tomorrow.

Could you use the Linda McCartney Chicken Roast and then slice and add bbq sauce (passata, brown sugar and soya sauce... Cayenne or hot paprika for a bit of heat); and then the rest of the ingredients with vegan alternatives?kacie said:I've had a real craving for hunters chicken lately, anyone know how to make something similar but vegan?

kacie i make HFWs swede and potato pasties regularly. I use flora instead of butter and 50g of violife extra mature for a bit of umami but you could add marmite or whatever DF cheese. They are very economical.
The recipe is here:

There's also an accidentally vegan bean pasty recipe somewhere in the OS archives (linked from grocery challenge). I can't remember where it is but here is a screenshot I took

Just lost my post. Hate when that happens
.
Can you all spam me with your best and favourite tried and tested iron and vitamin c loaded recipes.
I know what foods contain them, but someone might come up with a recipe with a combination i may not have thought of.
For example, one i like is Caribbean Blackbean and Pineapple stew.
I often miss posts, so if you could tag me that would be better. I am going to go back through this thread, with a fine tooth comb.
Thanks 😘👍GC Jan £101.91/£150 Feb £70.96/150 Mar £100.43/150 Apr £108.45 app/150 May £149.70/150 Jun £155.15/150 July £85.95/£150 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month. One person vegan household with occasional visitors)Forever learning the art of frugality1 -
Don't really know which of my recipes have lots of iron and vitamin C in them to be honest @K9sandFelines 🙈 if you can pop down some ingredients though I'll see what I can come up with 😉
Had short grain brown rice (cooked in stock), cranberry nut roast and braised green and runner beans last night for dinner - very simple but very tasty 😊
I'm having sweet potatoes, hommous and roasted red onions tonight which I will serve with a green salad and green olives marinated with rosemary - looking forward to it!DNF: £708.92/£1000

Picked up a fab new cook book recently which is all veggie and vegan tray bakes (even the veggie recipes seem easily adapted to be vegan) so planning on going through the fridge this weekend and planning / doing some batch cooking.
Got 2.5 aubergines (currently my fave veg) and about 4 recipes I want to try so going to have make some tough decisions!1 -

I've decided that I need more raw veg in my diet so yesterday made a winter salad - parsnips, swede and celeriac all pulsed in the food processor until it resembled rice dressed with lime and mint served on watercress with spicy chickpeas - very tasty! 😊DNF: £708.92/£1000
