This week we had a new twist to the resolution. Surrounded by veggies that we about to expire we realised that if we went out and got new ingredients for a meal, which no doubt there would be leftovers from, then we were in danger of ending up with a whole rack of veggies straight in the compost. Not good.
So we used the BBC Food Recipe Finder and put in the ingredients that we had to see what would come up. All you do is put in the ingredient(s) that you have and away you go. Handily for us there is even a tick box for 'Vegetarian' so that all the results only come back with veggie options.
I put in brussel sprouts (always left over after Xmas, even though we totally love them) and pressed search. What would we find?
And there it was, the answer to our dilemma - Butterbean and Sprout Falafels. Even the fact that they had butterbeans in was a bonus as we had some in the freezer from an earlier experiment with The Child - the beans were rejected and have been frozen ever since waiting for me to try them with him again.
It is great to feel that the resolution is growing with us, that we can enjoy great new food but also use ingredients that we already have in the house, this week felt like a lazy one as there was no shopping to be done before we started - bonus!
BBC Food Website - the recipe finder is on the homepage.
Butterbean and Brussel Sprout Falafels - we made the fried sprouts and dip as well, yummy!
