Thanks for the tip, I have just made a batch of this too; works out at about 90p cost in total if using the Aldi Super6 carrots, and I used Mr A value cashews too - website says for 2 people but I reckon it's more like 4-6 portions, so about 20p/portion

Update: have just portioned it up, for the freezer, and I reckon on 3 main-meal portions or 4-5 for starters:) Still cheap as chips, though ... or cheap as Aldi Super6 carrots:rotfl:

Thanks very much Jelly

For the sweet potato burgers (in the 1st link), do you think i could use black eye beans instead of cannelloni beans? As i already have black-eye beans.

Yes, any beans will do for recipes like that They probably used cannellini beans for their white colour - obviously black eye beans will have a different effect.

I second that - use whatever beans you have in stock rather than buying any:)

It would also work with chickpeas but this would change the flavour

No, it isn't, unfortunately as there are some great recipe suggestions and I wish I could claim credit for them:)

Sweet Potato & Peanut Curried Chicken
- recipe by Georgina Fuggle

We are born knowing that some ingredients belong together: pork and apples, strawberries and cream, eggs and bacon. Others happen upon us later in life and we wish we'd discovered them earlier. May I present sweet potatoes and peanut butter! The potatoes break down during cooking, leaving the chicken with a deliciously sweet, thick sauce. Go on, I dare you!

PREP TIME 20 MINUTES
COOKING TIME 40 MINUTES
SERVES 6

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 skinless, boneless, free-range chicken thighs, kept whole
1 tablespoon butter
2 large red onions, finely sliced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
3 heaped tablespoons organic crunchy peanut butter
1 tablespoon mild curry paste or 1 teaspoon mild curry powder
1 tablespoon tomato puree
800g chunky sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3cm cubes
400mI coconut milk
1/2 bunch coriander, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper


1. Heat the oil in the bottom of a heavy saucepan. Fry the chicken thighs in batches until each is just beginning to turn golden; this should take a few minutes on each side. Set the chicken aside, covered, while you crack on with the base of the recipe.
2. Melt the butter in the saucepan and add the onion, garlic and chilli flakes. Fry over a medium heat for a couple of minutes until soft and steamy but not coloured. Stir through the peanut butter, curry paste and tomato puree and heat for a further minute. Ensure that all the ingredients are nicely incorporated.
3. Add the sweet potatoes, pour over the coconut milk and give everything a good stir. The coconut milk should reach roughly half way up the pan, and don't worry that it doesn't cover the sweet potatoes. Bring to the boil and reduce the heat to medium. Cover and allow the potatoes to simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Return the seared chicken thighs to the pot and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes until the meat is thoroughly cooked through. Season as you wish. Just before serving, stir a good clump of chopped coriander through the pot.
