Most weekends I cook up a load of food so that the week is filled with easy nutritious dinners and packed lunches for two people. Stuff that's cooked for the freezer tends to get forgotten about
so it needs to be things that keep for a few days in the fridge and can bear reheating or be eaten cold. All they generally need is a bit of pasta, rice or bread to accompany. The dishes are generally driven by what came in the veg box and what needs using up. It's too easy to settle into a routine so I'm interested in what y'all do too.
This weekend I had a load of stuff to use up so not much invention but some regular faves:
- 'chinese chickpea stew' made with celery, carrots, chickpeas, soy, sweet soy,star anise simmered for several hours
- shepherd's pie
- broccoli and tomato stew with garlic and anchovy
- chicken, carrot and savoy cabbage in (home made) black bean sauce
- bulgur wheat with roast beetroot and courgettes, smoked goats cheddar (needs something else for flavour or texture, maybe parsley or hazelnuts or both??)
- puff pastry pie with spinach, feta and dill
I'm also going to try and make glacé mango over the week, roughly based on
this method
