My daughter can often turn up her nose at veggies so this time I've added in a whole courgette grated. Once cooked, the kids don't notice yet it all adds up towards their 5-a-day.
Sizzling in the pan - yum!

Spicy bean stew
Like lots of people, we're trying to have a cheap January....so out come the beans!!
Beans are a great way of cooking up tasty, yet cheap, meals.
Today for dinner we're having spicy bean stew - I simply looked through my cupboards and used what tins I had....in this case green lentils & black beans.
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tin green lentils
- 1 tin black beans
- 1 tin tomatoes
- handful fresh parsley
I put a glug of oil in a pan on a low heat then whizzed up the onions, garlic & ginger in my mini chopper. I added them to the pan and let them cook for a couple of minutes. I then added the cumin seeds and turmeric and allowed to simmer for a while longer.
I then added the lentils, beans and tomatoes and a bit of water and allowed it all to cook for about an hour. To serve, sprinkle of some fresh parsley.
Serve with rice or bread.
