This will be super short as the recipe came from the need to get them to eat vegetables we had and left over carbonara from their lunch.
Chop up the mini corn and broccoli and fry it a bit more, then whisked an egg with some whole milk combined with the chopped pasta and veg and back in the pan with some butter, so it doesn’t stick. Straight in the plate to cool and top it with some feta or any cheese you have.
Stages 1- 4
It was very tasty, and it had all the food groups so why not!?
So quick and the children loved it… so did I!
We had pizza last night and I use sandwich thins and spread a mix of tomato sauce and tomato puree on the bottom topped with ham and cheese and a mixed herbs on top. So delicious and will work with anything you have. I used wraps before and cut then into rough rounds, but you could just quarter the.
Named such because they are much more interesting than the version from a can but also packed with nutrients. This one is straight forward; it’s one of my ‘throw it all in a pot’ and simmer ones. Ill break it down a bit, but at its care that is all it is. Double the recipe if you want to freeze some, as I guarantee you will want some for your lunch and I found that one tin wasn’t enough.
Ingredients:
Tin of haricot beans
2 tsp Tomato paste
Baby spinach finely cut (½ hand fulls)
1 Tbsp BBQ sauce
Small onion finely diced
Pepper, salt to taste
¼ punnet of mushroom
1 teaspoon paprika
300ml water, this is not exact, judge how much you need
Pinch of thyme
Grated cheese and yogurt
Method:
Fry off the onion in a bit of oil, once brown and soft add a small nob of unsalted butter and add the mushrooms. Once they are cooked add the beans, spices, herbs, water and spinach. The beans are sometimes a bit hard straight from the can, I checked mine and decided how much water I’d need.
This is wahat it looks like once you have added the herbs, spices, spinach and water.
Now add the tomato paste and BBQ sauce and simmer, I had to add a little more water and reduce for 10 minutes on a simmer. You are looking for the consistency in the image below if it is still a bit watery reduce more. I mashed the beans slightly and then added cheese and yogurt for the children.
For my lunch I topped a bag of rice & quinoa with cheese and the beans with a dollop of yogurt. Very delicious!!! Just waiting for the energy boost. If you have coriander you can top it with some or some avocado on the side. Put your own spin on it.
