Your favourite 'Chuck it all in' recipe.

WantToBeSE

Hi All

I am just wondering what your favourite 'Chuck it all in' recipe is?
You know, the one recipe that you can use whatever is lurking in the bottom of the fridge/cupboard/freezer to make?

Mine is risotto. I use whatever meat and veggies I have, add whatever spices/herbs I have, add stock and hey presto!

Tonight is Chorizo, Leek and mushroom risotto May sound 'odd' but tastes lovely! Other times it's been chicken, pea and peppers, or pork, runner beans and mushrooms.

Soup! Bottom of the fridge soup always turns out lovely
Just add some of my HM frozen chicken stock and lentils sometimes.

Stew or stir fry.

I usually like turning it in to a pie or a pasty depending what is in there.

To be honest, most of my meals are "chuck it all in and see what happens"

Mine is Soup.

Usually made on a Friday, however, this week I made it yesterday.

Ingredients this week were:

Butternut Squash
Onions
Carrots
Celery
Tin Tomatoes
Yellow peppers
Red split Lentils
2 cloves garlic
2 Stock cubes

That lot made 3.3 kg of soup with each portion coming in at only 150 kcals.

best wishes.

Soup using chicken carcasses to make stock + veg + pearl barley + lentils + yellow split peas

Egg fried rice - cold rice, leftover chicken, pork etc + veggies

Veg curry -selection of veg, can tomatoes, curry powder, coconut milk = yummy !

My son will complain about veg alongside a meal but will eat veg in things.

Minestrone soup, all the veg from the bottom of the fridge, half a tin of baked beans also lurking in the fridge, a few scraps of ham or bacon, a good squirt of tomato puree, a handful of pasta & some mixed herbs.
Serve with a sprinkle of grated cheese & some bread if needed.

A "Waste-not-Want-not" soup that includes stock, red lentils, an onion, any veg left in the fridge and any odd bits of left over bacon/gammon previously shoved in the freezer. Blitz when ready.

Mine is usually a vegetable pasta sauce which I then freeze for CBA moments. Everything goes in veg wise (onion, leek, sweet corn, celery, peppers, mushrooms etc). Start by sauteing onion with some garlic in a little oil with some dry Italian herbs, add finely chopped veg, a tin or two of chopped tomato, pinch of chili s and voila.. Portion and freeze.

I also make soup sometimes too.

I just happen to have chorizo, leek and mushrooms in the fridge so might give this a try later!
