Well, darling husband is away for a few days, so I get to cook all the foods that I really love, which he’s not so keen on. I’ve had enormous joy poring over 2 cookbooks in particular: Gok’s Wok, and Deliciously Ella, and most of my meals over the next wee while will come from there.
Ingredients:Having selected a few recipes, I made a shopping list, and decided to go for a Tesco Click and Collect job. Time with the dogs is precious, with R away, and I’d rather not spend an hour or 2 in the supermarket. But I couldn’t get a delivery slot till tomorrow, so tonight I was going for something I could make with my store cupboard ingredients.
These include soba noodles, vermicelli rice noodles, black beans, tahini, tamari, and quinoa.
As I was going to have the oven on, I decided to also make banana breakfast bars.
I had some carrots and courgettes in the fridge, though admittedly they weren’t the freshest. And while I was in a peeling and shaving mode. I finished off the carrots so that I have some on hand for future meals.
I was surprised at the amount of oats in the breakfast bars – I added a few extra pumpkin seeds and flaxseed. And I couldn’t find a brownie tin so I used a silicon muffin pan.
The salad was pretty simple -oil and vinegar and a few crunchy seeds. I decided to add a swordfish steak (bake from frozen) for protein.
The result was…OK. The salad was rather chewy and crunchy. I’ll use the leftovers for lunches this week.
The breakfast bars were also very chewy, but the honey and vanilla make them rather moreish.
I look forward to tomorrow, and the grocery delivery!
