Snowed in - what to cook?
Today is my weekly shopping day, but it's snowing and looking at the cameras on the BBC website, the roads are not good to drive on.. so, what to eat?
As many of you know all I have a restrictive diet, and I'm pretty much out of fresh veg - which I practically live off these days (although I do have some broccoli and cabbage lol) so I've found some rice etc and wondered what you guys would do with the following?
Wholegrain rice
Lentils
Yellow split peas
Pack of mixed beans (but they need to be soaked)
Onions
Frozen veg
Cabbage
Broccoli
Tins tomatoes
Various spices
Frozen cod
Chicken leg x 1
Chicken thighs x 2
I also have some other stuff like cous cous and wholegrain spaghetti - but I'm trying to stay off gluten.
So what would you guys rustle up?
I'm thinking fry some onions, add the cabbage and broccoli (or maybe frozen veg and keep the fresh veg for tomorrow) part boil some rice and then add it to the pan - a bit like a risotto? (which herbs n spices to add tho or just salt n pepper ok?) Should I add half a tin of toms? Or will it be ok without? I wish I was a good cook lol!
What do you reckon? Please give me some ideas before I waste away :-P
