Hello Dear Reader,
Our son was home with us tonight and I didn't think that Tofu would quite satisfy a hungry carpenter so I dug around in my store cupboard. Aforementioned son's girl friend is a vegetarian and I keep Granose products in the back of the cupboard for when we cater for her. She has the appetite of a bird so we don't buy a lot of products but keep some that can be made into small portions for her. I don't know if any of you can remember 'Sos-mix'? It wasn't the greatest and was full of fat, well this is much tastier. I can't eat these as they're full of wheat but it's great for a hungry chap who needs some thing substantial. Dearly Beloved loves vegetables but he certainly doesn't like 'veggie' alternatives and I think he's still suffering from the last time someone tried to feed him Quorn sausages. He enjoyed the Granose sausages and my son loved them. I had some pepper sauce mix in stock and served their supper with that, and both were more than happy with it. I've not been given this product and I'm certainly not endorsing it but I stock up when it's on offer with Approved Food in any of our local supermarkets.
I worked late yesterday and came home with no desire to eat that late. We ate the Tofu stir fry tonight.
Here's my recipe
1 pack of firm tofu, cut into cubes
3 tablespoons of sweet chilli sauce to marinate the tofu for a few minutes
1 finely shredded savoy cabbage
1 finely diced red chilli
1 sliced red pepper.
Stir fry the cabbage until wilted.
Add the chilli and tofu
Stir for another 5-10 minutes.
Serve with rice to make it go further or on its own.
I had mine with a dash of soy sauce (now I've located the GF variety)
Both the Tofu (£1.60 - easily serves 2) and veggie sausage mix - makes eight sausages (£1.39) can be bought in any supermarkets. They are very affordable alternatives to meat and both are totally delicious. I bought both of these in Morrisons - also, I'm not promoting them either!
Over to you, what does your other half need a lot of convincing to eat or just won't eat at all?
I always love hearing from you,
Love Froogs xxxx
