I hate waste, especially regarding food. It's one reason why I have a tendency to put on weight. I'll eat stuff rather than throw it out. Silly really.
This weekend we are having a quiet 'just the two of us' thing so we decided to make it one of our curry weekends. I'm the curry cook in our house.
Yesterday was creation day. And I used something I had saved earlier. My wife had made some soup using one of those 'Soak the night before' pulse based soup packs along with loads of veggies. The pulses hadn't been soaked or boiled long enough and were a bit firm.
She would have thrown it out. Me? I zuzzed it up into a puree and announced it would make a good sauce base if cooked again. Thank god for freezers.
So a curry it became; curry paste, chillis, ginger and chickpeas and a few hours in the slow cooker transformed it.
Along with my home-made onion bhajis, butter chicken, lamb massala and ginger cauliflower.
Oh, and a hot prawn starter; heavy on chillis and lime juice.
My wife is now trying her hand at some bhajis to go with the rest which we will enjoy whilst watching Scrooge.
Curry and Scrooge!
So odd.
So English.
