The One In Particular

I wish to live so many lives; it seems to me to be such a shame that I can only choose one.

Spicy White Fish Pilaf 

A cheaper twist on Asda’s recipe 

2 Frozen white fish Fillets

Oil

1 onion, chopped

1 garlic clove, chopped

3-4 level tsp Mild Curry Powder (cumin and Graham Masala will also work) 

 rice

Two handfuls of chopped spring greens 

handful of frozen peas

half a lemon

Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Put the fillets in a small roasting tin with 3 tbsp water, cook for 20-25 minutes 

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion until it’s soft and starting to turn brown. Add the garlic and continue cooking for another minute.

Add the curry powder and 2 tbsp cold water and stir over a low heat for another minute. Stir in the rice and add 600ml cold water. Season, bring slowly to the boil, then cover and simmer for 8 minutes.

Add the spring greens and peas and stir once. Heat until simmering again, then cover and simmer for another 3-4 minutes or until the rice is cooked.

Break the fish into large flakes and add to the rice with the lemon juice.

Carrot and Chickpea Soup

Serves 4 at 20p each:

300g carrots (approx 3 medium ones), 13p (43p/1kg)

240g tinned chickpeas (that’s the drained and rinsed weight of a 400g can), 40p

4 fat cloves of garlic, 8p (4 bulbs/69p)

2 tbsp oil (vegetable or sunflower), 4p (£1.10/1l)

150g onion (one small one or half a large one), 8p (54p/1kg)

½ tsp cumin (1.3g), 3p (£1.15/100g)

a pinch of chilli, 2p

800ml weak stock (½ stock cube will do), 2p

First heat your oven to 180C. Wash your carrots and slice thickly, and toss into a roasting tin.

Drain and thoroughly rinse your chickpeas and add to the tin, with the whole garlic cloves. Pour over the oil and give it all a shuffley-shake to lightly coat it, and pop it in the oven for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and finely slice your onion, and set to one side. When your first 20 minutes is up, remove the roasting tin from the oven, scatter the onion over, and the cumin and chilli, and give it all another shake. Cook for a further 20 minutes, until it looks like this:

Yummy roasty goodness. And yes I leave the tops on my carrots – waste not want not!

Remove the garlic cloves from the roasting tin, and tip the rest of the contents into a blender – keeping some chickpeas aside to garnish if you like that sort of thing. Squeeze in the soft garlic (don’t put the skins in the blender, they end up like tiny bits of wet tissue that stick to the roof of your mouth. We learn from our errors, round here, and pass the wisdom on – though in my defence that was many years ago…). Add the stock and blend until smooth. Remove from the blender and warm through, garnishing with reserved chickpeas to serve.
