Carrot and Cumin Bean Burgers
2019-07-18 13:28

I've been experimenting with making meals without meat in them, the idea being that we could (once or twice a week) potentially have a meatless meal - bringing food costs down, as well as introducing a bit more nutrition variety.

This is a slightly amended version of Jack Monroe's "Carrot, Cumin Kidney Bean Burgers". In the original recipe, the Cumin does most of the flavouring work, and we just felt like it was missing something...

In the photo, they're served in a pitta bread with tomato chutney and mixed leaf salad - Also had wedges on the side.

Chickpea, Peach and Potato Curry

This is an adjustment of Jack Monroe's Peach Chickpea Curry.

It adds some potato (not only do I like curried potato, but I fine I need the bulk) as well as increasing the spice. To offset the increased spice, some raisins are added to contribue sweetness (plus they absorb curry juice for a delicious taste).

It's easy to cook, and doesn't require too much effort.

If you keep a little back when serving, then the next night you can re-heat, mix into pasta and serve with chopped sausages.
