I have been getting a tad bored eating steamed vegetables most nights, so I decided to play around with them a bit. It has to be something simple mind, and uses the least amount of pots and pans, I don't want to spend too much time in the kitchen. This is my version of vegetable soup.
Two potatoes, scrubbed not peeled. Ten sprouts. One parsnip. Two cabbage leaves. One onion. Boil them up in a pan of water. Add, teaspoon of turmeric, veg oxo cube, teaspoon of packet sauce mix, any old herbs and spices, and four desertspoons of natural yoghurt. Boil till veg is soft, mash with a potato masher. Makes about two pints. Costs a few pence when using reduced end of date veg. Three slices of bread from a 20p loaf, the cider was the most expensive part at 50p. Tasted loverly, I ate the lot straight out of the pan.
Freedom to speak.
