River Cottage: Vegeree

Final River Cottage recipe of the week was 'Vegeree' a vegetarian alternative to kedgeree I guess. 

 The recipe was very easy to follow, you just roast up some onions, aubergine and courgettes with 'one tablespoon of curry powder' and then add some cooked rice and boiled eggs. 

I had some garam masala and cumin which I used instead of curry powder, I think I'd used more than a tablespoon next time because the flavour didn't come through very well. It was a nice meal though. 

Roasted Butternut Squash with Feta Cheese

The weather was gorgeous today and not really the kind of weather that makes you want to spend much time in a hot kitchen. Mr VST had requested this meal at the weekend and I had already bought the ingredients so I made it anyway. It is a really healthy, filling meal, especially served with roast potatoes.

Veggie stew and dumplings

A lovely Sunday night supper using all the veg in the fridge. Quick, easy and tasty too with plenty left over for lunch.

Aubergine, mushroom and green lentil curry

I had a curry planned for Wednesday night's supper anyway and had planned the usual mix of veggies but when I came to make it I realised that I had done nothing with the bonus bag of cheap mushrooms I had bought last week and they weren't looking great. I also had managed to buy two aubergines and had no specific auberginey plans meal wise and I had mistakenly opened a can of green lentils instead of chickpeas for my chickpea stirfry. I made my curry in the usual way with some rogan josh curry paste and a can of coconut milk. It was good, a few more calories per portion than the usual but mush bulkier and more filling.
