If you have flour you can make either nan breads or chappati to go with a bean and lentil curry or wheat tortillas to go with a bean chilli.

Cheese, pasta and sauce oven bake

Beans and potatoes - veggie cottage pie

You could use the green beans, peppers, maybe mushrooms and some boiled potatoes in a Spanish omelette and you could grate some of the cheese over and put it under the grill. I think that'd be great with some of the ciabatta.

You could use the pasatta with a few sun-dried tomatoes as a sauce for pasta, maybe with some lentils for a bit of protein but I'd cook them separately and add them at the end because the acid in tomatoes seems to make pulses take a very long time to cook.

You could make a white sauce and add cheese and you could use that as a pasta sauce, maybe with the mushrooms for a veggie carbonara but maybe there aren't enough mushrooms for that, or to make a gratin with thinly sliced potatoes.

You could mix some sun-dried tomato with the couscous and make up with some vegetable stock and serve it with veggie sausages made by mixing breadcrumbs, grated cheese and dried herbs and seasonings with an egg to bind, flouring and shallow frying.

You could make a sort of thick stew of sliced peppers and passata with a bit of chilli if you have some or plenty of pepper if you don't and serve it with poached eggs on top and some ciabatta to mop up the juice.

Again, if you have chilli, you could use passata beans and lentils to make a veggie chilli and serve it with a baked potato.

You could make a soufflé. Either I've just been incredibly lucky or the difficulty level of that has generally been hugely overstated. You just make a basic white sauce and add whatever flavourings you want, I'd suggest cheese and finely chopped mushrooms. Use a tsp of butter and a tsp of flour per person and enough milk to make a double cream thickness sauce. Leave the sauce to cool a little while you separate the egg and beat the egg white until stiff. Mix the egg yolk into the white sauce and then gently fold in the egg white with a metal spoon. Don't worry about getting it evenly mixed, you want it to be still a bit streaky. Pour the soufflé mix into a greased and floured ramekin, straight sided bowl or a cup or mug and bake in the oven at a medium heat. Two eggs is enough to make a soufflé for two or three people.

That gets my vote! It's been a-a-ages since I indulged in this.

Hmm... guess what might be tea tonight? I deserve a treat, and damn the cholesterol
