ooo ta for that info, Zoe. still trying to stop The Delightful Nanna(tm) from moonlighting as The Naughtiest Little Coeliac, (by upping the variety of grains and pulses) so that sort of stuff is always useful.

Fabulous – who’d have thought food that’s already in the house could be so good? And thanks for the link: I don’t make Skye’s onions any more, but we eat onions three, four, maybe five times a week, so there are generally some already cooked in my fridge – as you say, useful for the next meal.

Hugs

Nigel…I’ll arm-wrestle you for him.

Yum. Yum, yum, yum, Zoe. Will you people please stop making me waver with your meaty treats? I know tofu or tempeh would (and will when I get to rubbing my tempeh with it tonight) be incredibly good with ras el hanout, but I’m craving flesh!

I hadn't had it before either, speedy, it'd been sitting in the freezer for ages. I did really like it, and will have it again. It is by far the best textured frozen veg. I wonder a little about eating too much of it though, as many macro/wholefoods people think that we should eat fermented soy as it's more digestible/less toxic (Cristy posted on this recently). Also it is way bourgie, NTTAWWT.

that looks and sounds totally drooly, especially with the thought of pomegranate. never played with edamame before, looks so fresh and tasty!

What a beautiful meal Zoe. And you’ve definitely shown that a meal from the pantry doesn’t have to be second-rate!

I recently bought some “Israeli couscous” and have been trying to work out what to do with it. I didn’t realise that was mograbieh – which I’ve seen used in recipes on a number of occasions. So glad you’ve cleared that up for me.

And thank you for your entry to the Pantry Challenge – it’s a beauty.

It isn’t often I think “God I wish I wasn’t going to Mum’s tonight for roast chook, then I could make this”.

But then, I don’t think I have any of the ingredients (except onion) in my pantry or freezer, so I’d better take the roast option.

My personal pantry challenge is to cook and eat as much as possible from our current pantry & freezer (freezer is nearly empty!) before moving house. We’ll be eating various colours of lentils every day til Christmas.
