I used way too much chilli in the soup, and no lemongrass as its yuck! I added green pepper though instead! The Basmati rice gives it a lovely buttery flavour though!

You can alsop use it as part of your HEXB - 65g dried /75g dried-ready-to-eat = 1 HEXB. But once it's divided between portions its nowt anyway really

I move into a new flat tomorrow and plan to try and do this as much as possible to keep costs down, thanks so much for the ideas so far!

My Dort is moving this weekend and my advice to her was to meal plan a fortnight then repeat, you can change it up on the repeat (have chilli instead of spag Bol, curried chicken instead of stir dry etc), that means you only need to think of one fortnights food at a time x

The Moroccan mushrooms were a mild bland TBH ok for a quick lunch but not for a main meal, even though i doubled the spices! shame as I was really looking forward to it!
So not to be undone I've found another recipe, it looks like it has more oomph about it!

I just found it really bland! I made it for me but shared it with my SU and HE loved it!!!
I think the second recipe will be better.
