    Something that is extremely easy and looks great, roast veg tart.

    Roll out puff pastry to size of baking tray ( I find half a block of the frozen does it)
    Put on a lot of lovely pesto, add veg, olives, sundries tomatoes, whatever and bake. Lovely cold and travels well, I often have it in lunch boxes. Just needs a bit of salad and chips/baked potato.

    Roast veg salad and falafel. Make up quinoa/cous cous/ bulghar wheat, let it go cold. Roast peppers, onions, courgette etc and stir in along with anything else you fancy.

    Can replace the pesto with tomato puree - ends up looking a bit like pizza. can top with vegetarian cheese if you want to.

    A more summery tart has the pesto replaced with soft cheese (philadelphia or similar) and sliced tomato/basil.

    (actually we use Hodmedods)

    Good for you, so do we! Cracking quality as well.

    Remember.... The freezer is your friend!
  • Thank you! I find the freezer is less my friend with veggie meals, something to do with texture. But there's plenty of inspiration. An especial thank you to working mum for the links.
    And a big shout to Hodmedods and a suggestion that anyone interested in sustainability check them out:
