Food for when you’re broke (or in a pandemic)
Recently I’ve been compiling some simple recipes to make with storecupboard ingredients, so I thought I’d share.

My own recipe - Thai Curry Prawns (serves 4) 4 tbsp thai red curry paste 4 tbsp peanut butter (smooth) 1 tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp soy sauce Juice of 1 lime handful chopped coriander 1 x 400ml can coconut milk grating of fresh ginger 400g prawns (defrosted if frozen) Put all the ingredients except the prawns into a pan and heat on medium until the sauce has thickened and come together. Add the prawns and cook for 5 - 10 minutes depending on how large they are (they will change colour when cooked). Serve with rice or noodles or whatever you like! You can freeze this by making the sauce and letting it cool, then spooning out into tupperware. Add the raw (and not previously frozen) prawns and seal the tupperware - write on that it is and the date you froze it - and when you want to eat it simply defrost in the fridge and follow the instructions above.
