Mushroom One Pot

Made a regular favourite this evening, Mushroom and Rice one-pot. Very easy and tasty. I actually followed the recipe this evening as I haven't made it in a while. I even rinsed the rice properly before I put it in the pot. This meant that the texture of the rice was completely different. I think Mr VST and I prefer our sticky rice!

Red Pepper and Feta Frittata

The same but different! I went for a red pepper and feta frittata this week. I thought that it was the feta that was making the frittata's awesome but actually it turns out it was the feta and leek combo. This frittata was good and tasty but it didn't quite hit the same taste buds as the leek one. I also had half an aubergine left so I tried to make some aubergine crisps. I don't think I quite sliced them thinly enough but they were lovely just grilled with a sprinkle of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

Tuesday I had planned on running in the evening and so had arranged for Mr VST to make us some mushroom and rice one pot to eat on my return. Instead I got called out, got back at about 6.15pm, waited for the one pot to cook, went back to my call out and didn't return until 10pm. Not the evening I had planned but the food sustained me.

Mr VST made us this mushroom and rice one pot for dinner this evening. I was on duty today and got very hungry during my call out even though I took a cheese and pickle sandwich and some jaffa cakes with me. Last time we had this I posted the photo from the BBC Good Food website but here is our version all ready for tomorrow's lunch:

I'm also really enjoying my mince pies already this year. I bought some over the last few weeks but got some jars of mincemeat so the next ones should be at least half home made.

This evening's meal was made by Mr VST. I found it in the Spring on the BBC Good Food website when looking for low calorie, low fat, vegetarian meals so that we could get  in shape for our wedding. It is really easy to make and under 300 calories per serving. Mr VST said that the most difficult thing about making it this evening was finding the recipe. I had helpfully got another mushroom recipe out when I had in fact copied this one into my recipe book!

Our version never looks quite like it does on the website but its tasty just the same.
