The ratatouille is just a posh name for basic veggie "red stuff"....any old veg and beans in a tomato sauce. This time I had cheapo mushrooms and kidney beans to use up. Also added grated carrot, a tin of baked beans, frozen sweetcorn and an evil green pepper. I hate how often I have to buy green peppers in multipacks. This is a good recipe for burying green peppers. "Red stuff" can be used for stews, curries, spag bols, chillies, cottage pie or whatever. Freezable, microwavable and full of superfrees. Just bung it whatever you have Moz
It is similar to this one...http://www.minimins.com/slimming-wo...n-veggie-green-days-diary-12.html#post3955405

Slow cooked North African curry?!?! :drool: Recipe, stat!
Gobolino's curry is fab. Very deep flavours. I missed out the olive oil when I made it.

Oh bums. My challenge failed yesterday, but I am back on track today. I feel malnourished and crappy today.
I used the Kara coconut milk yesterday for the first time. It was lovely, but the star of the curry was definitely the fennel seeds. Got some quorn chunks to make a Thai curry with the Kara. Might suit the taste better.

I'm sorry your challenge didn't go well yesterday, but is it wrong that I laughed out loud when I read this?!! Sausage, don't sweat it, real life happens and sometimes red wine is just too good to have in moderation. Am now thinking that my drink of choice tonight may be a drop of ye olde vin rouge ....

Food's looking good SS! While I should obviously be particularly envious of your roast veg or something, I especially like the sound of Caramac ice cream bars - yum yum. Glad you're feeling better now and look after yourself, I've heard the weather is very grim up north at the moment x

It is a bit windy! We have one fence panel down so far and the rest are looking a bit dodgy. Just praying nothing hits my greenhouse

Keep on Truckin'
Hope you survived your windy episode
I'm a bit concerned that I have noticed an absence of bananas lately ... as you pointed out the other day that they are all that keep you sane (well that was my interpretation of what you said! ) anyway, it leaves me worried about (a) you (b) Scotland and (c) the rest of mankind..... :8855:
