brown rice,
bag of mixed frozen veg,
frozen diced onions,
tinned sweetcorn,

Quick mushroom stroganoff

Mushrooms
Oil
Milk
Mixed herbs
Cornflour

Sauté mushrooms
Add milk, around half pint- depending on amount of mushrooms
Add mixed herbs
Simmer for a few minutes - while stirring
Thicken with cornflour

Serve with rice or on wholemeal toast.

Takes minutes, so quick.
If you have longer or want to change recipe, add onions or chopped quorn.

Nice easy and delicious high protein scrambled tofu. You can have it on toast, with baked beans and fried mushrooms, in pitta bread, mixed into a noodle stir fry .......

spray a frying pan with frylight and cook your mix which consists of

1 block or packet of tofu mashed up with flavourings. Tumeric is essential and some sort of salty stock like bouillon pwder, celery salt or herbamare, balsamic vinegar and/or veggie worcester sauce and if you've got it some nurtitional yeast is nice too.

I've just thought that adding some tiny pieces of pickled red pepper would be pretty and delicious

 

[Aline]

Thank you both Karen and Micci. Mushrooms and tofu are some of my favourite foods, I may try those recipes soon once they sound quick and easy

vegan chilli con carnne

ingrediants:
frozen or fresh onions
dried soya mince
chickpeas
mixed beans
tinned tomaotes
chilli powder packet
water

if you like it hot:
2 spoons of paprika
2 spoons of hot chilli powder
plenty of fresh chillies

_________________________
the chickpeans and beans i buy are all dry, so i leave them soaking overnight first.
as is the soya mince, but i only soak this for 30 mins.

find a big pan, just shive the lot in!
soak the mince for half an hour, to plump it up a bit, once its ready then drain it of all excess liquid,
put it all in the pan as well as the beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, chilli mix, and (spices if you wanted to add them)
leave to boil for roughly 20 - 30 minutes, when its almost ready add the frozen onions, they only need a few minutes cooking time so they go in the last.

then its done and ready to eat.

i always make enough to feed a family, so theres always tons left so it all goes in the freezer

 

[Aline]

Thank you Gina

I also do similar recipes with textured soy protein. I really like the stuff

[Micci]

that's my sort of cooking, shove it in a pan and cook it
