    Hubby is at home all this week in the evenings which is nice and I’m looking forward to it.

    Today my daughter and I had a veggie frittata for lunch. It had potatoes, peas, broccoli, onion and red pepper in. 8 eggs and topped with cheese. There’s still some left which I will keep for tomorrow

    Dinner tonight is spag Bol. I made it this morning so the meat can marinade, mince always taste better if it’s cooked beforehand.

    Celery, Swede & Chickpea Bake

    will be doing this one day this week

    celery-swede-and-chickpea-bake.jpg


    Ingredients
    200 g swede 20p
    100 g celery ⅓ a head, 20p
    50 g creamed coconut 1 sachet, 25p, or use a tin of coconut milk
    40 g miso paste 40p
    100 g chickpeas ½ tin, drained, 17p
    Topping
    2 spring onions 10p
    50 g bread 1 slice, 1p
    10 g parsley 25p
    2 tblsp olive oil 6p
    Instructions
    Peel and chop the swede into chunks about 1"/2.5cm
    Chop the celery into 1"/2.5cm pieces. Wash thoroughly, it may have grit in the stalks
    Put the vegetables in a saucepan. Add a little water and cook gently for 35 minutes.
    Drain the vegetables and keep the stock
    Add the coconut and miso.
    Add the drained chickpeas.
    Stir very well so the vegetables are coated.
    Check the seasoning and add more if it needs it
    Topping
    Roughly chop the parsley, stalks as well
    Roughly chop the bread into small cubes
    Roughly chop the spring onions
    Add the olive oil
    Now you need to get the topping mixture really fine. Mulch it all down with a stick blender, a liquidiser or food processor until it is breadcrumb like
    If you don't have any of those, keep chopping until everything is really fine
    Assembly
    Tip the base mixture into an oven proof dish
    Spoon over the topping
    Bake at 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4, for 35 minutes until the topping is browned and nicely crispy.
    Leftovers
    Got any left? Whizz it up into soup for lunch the next day
  • Mmm that sounds interesting.

    Tonight we had Macaroni cheese, bacon and salad. One of DH and DS's favourites.

    Pasta here with some HM pasta sauce and pumpkin puree from the freezer. Filled a gap, not overly inspiring but did the job.
