Leftover pasta sauce? Bake some eggs in it for bre

Leftover pasta sauce? Bake some eggs in it for breakfast the next day. I'd made this simple tomato sauce the night before for some spaghetti, so this took me barely any time at all in the morning. ⠀ ⠀ I'm cooking for one the majority of the week and sometimes it's a lot more hassle to make just one portion. Making more than you need for one meal with another in mind can save a lot of time! And while I don't really like having the same meal over and over, I do like to repurpose leftovers and try to come up with something different. They often end up being the best meals!⠀

Spaghetti and beetballs 🍝 ⠀ I used @feastinga

Spaghetti and beetballs 🍝 ⠀ I used @feastingathome's recipe for the beetballs but I was a wee bit distracted while I was making them and forgot to add the black beans! They were still delicious but I can only imagine they're even better with the black beans - once I get through the rest of the beetballs in the freezer I'll make another batch (paying closer attention to the recipe).

I'm a big, biiig fan of breakfast burritos (you might have noticed this already). They're great for using up leftovers and greens wilting away in the fridge, as well as being quick and easy to make when you're still in the process of waking up. ⠀ ⠀ I'd recommend keeping a batch of pickled red onion in the fridge to add in because they just make everything better - you can use them in lots of other things as well. Sriracha is also a must in mine (I'll accept other hot sauces but I know where my loyalties lie). And warm up that tortilla first before rolling!! Especially if your tortillas have been sitting overnight in a cold kitchen - warming them up will make them more pliable and less likely to tear when rolling. ✌️

It's dark and dreich out there most mornings, so something that'll warm the soul up a bit feels necessary to start the working day. These baked apple oats were spiced with a generous amount of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice - I always find it amazing just how comforting those spices are. ⠀ I can't get on board with pumpkin spice lattes (because I can't get on board with any milky coffee) but there's a reason so many people go hard for pumpkin-spiced-everything this time of year, including myself. When it's miserable outside it can be just what you need. ⠀

Butter tofu with cauliflower 🍛 ⠀ Quicker and

Butter tofu with cauliflower 🍛 ⠀ Quicker and definitely less decadent than the butter paneer recipe on my blog (link in bio), but still delicious! I used a much smaller amount of butter and some soya cream for this, as well as being very lazy with the spices (no whole spices), relying a lot on garam masala. Not bad for a weeknight curry. ⠀

I'll be making congee much more frequently for bre

I'll be making congee much more frequently for breakfast thanks to a time-saving tip I learnt from @thewoksoflife. All it involves is washing the rice the night before and then freezing it! This helps the rice break down much quicker when you cook it (straight from frozen), slashing the time it takes to make it down to about 20-25 minutes. ⠀ ⠀ I've spent most of my life not eating porridges of any kind - I think there must have been some childhood incident that made me think they were a bit gross. Thankfully, I (eventually) outgrew that and now I want to try them all. I'm planning on giving khichdi a go soon, so if you know of a good recipe send it my way!⠀

Cauliflower rice can be really sad but it doesn't

Cauliflower rice can be really sad but it doesn't have to be that way! I don't buy the idea of it being a substitute for rice, it's got its own thing going on and I do NOT want to be served up plain riced cauliflower, thank you. You can pack a lot of flavour into it, which is the only way to have it if you ask me. ⠀ ⠀ For this, I fried up some onion, garlic, yellow pepper and brussels sprouts, scrambled in an egg, added in the cauliflower and then seasoned with soy sauce and sesame oil. Served with some sticky garlic ginger tofu this was a great and really flavourful dinner! ⠀

Here's why you NEED to give this @ottolenghi recip

Here's why you NEED to give this @ottolenghi recipe a go: I made this for some friends on Saturday before we headed out on the climate march (you need to fuel up properly for a march!) and one of them said it was the *best* breakfast she'd ever had! And that's why I'm always banging on about Ottolenghi having the best breakfast recipes. So, if you also want to impress your friends with what's actually a really easy dish to whip up then a pan of gochujang and potato braised eggs will do the job. It's ideal if you're looking for a breakfast/brunch option that will feed a few!⠀ ⠀ The recipe calls for a mix of potato and kohlrabi, but I've always just used potato when I've made it because kohlrabi isn't something I often have in (but I DID end up getting one in my veg box the very next day! I've made some lovely coleslaw with that instead). Spring onion also works great in place of chives.⠀ ⠀ There's another post featuring this not too far back on my feed when I'd made a single portion. But the small frying pan I have doesn't have an oven-safe handle, so I made it entirely on the stovetop, meaning it didn't get crispy like it does in the oven. Still very tasty, but for the best result you definitely want to make it in the oven (plus, it's less even less faff that way!).⠀

Harissa roasted carrots and baby turnips with garl

Harissa roasted carrots and baby turnips with garlic yoghurt, tomato and pistachio 🥕 ⠀ One of the many reasons I love getting a veg box from @locavorecic is that every week it encourages me to be more creative. I don't often buy ingredients in to make specific meals, instead I look at what I've already got that's needing used up and work out from there what I can make. ⠀ ⠀ Obviously, the more comfortable you are in the kitchen the easier this is to do, as does having access to cupboards full of pantry staples. For me, learning how to become a more versatile cook has been one of the most effective ways of reducing food waste, but for others (especially if you're regularly cooking for several people) forward and more detailed planning might make more sense. ⠀ ⠀ But it's important to think about how we can all do better to reduce food waste. According to the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), 9.5 million tonnes of food waste was produced by UK households and businesses in 2018. 6.4 million tonnes of which was avoidable and could have otherwise been eaten. And then there are the greenhouse gas emissions associated with it all - 8-10% of manmade greenhouse gas emissions are down to food waste alone!⠀ ⠀ I want to be a more sustainable cook, so I'm trying to educate myself and make certain changes and build better habits. Right now, this is focused on eating more seasonally, reducing food waste and avoiding plastic packaging. I've got a long way to go and appreciate any tips and resources any of you guys might have to share!⠀
