Each pan had 2 diced bell peppers, 1/2 clove chopped garlic, and half an onion, which were fried until softened.
One pan then had 2 tablespoons curry paste stirred in, followed by 1 tin of tomatoes, half a can of water and half a can of mushrooms. This was followed by half a 400g bag of Quorn chunks and a handful of sultanas, then cooked for 30 minutes. Afterwards, 4 frozen tablespoons of coconut cream, one stock cube plus a couple of tablespoons of tomato puree were stirred in. Once cooked through, it was dished up for freezing. Each container has 3 ladles, enough Quorn curry for us both, for one meal:
The second pan had the same initial ingredients added but instead of curry paste, a chopped canned adobe pepper was added for spice. No sultanas this time but a can of red kidney beans. No coconut cream just a stock cube and tomato puree added to give us Quorn Chilli:I think 6 meals is a really good stretch. How are you stretching your meals to reduce costs?
The stick blender is turning leftovers into soup.

DeleteI'm stretching my meals so far and making so many portions of everything, that I have totally run out of freezer space. So, I think that I will have to have a couple of weeks of NO shopping and eat all the meals to make space for some Christmassy things.
