Meat reduction week

steevc last year

We've had some great veggie meals from Gusto that are not hard to cook. I think many people could do with eating less meat and it's an easy win for the environment. We have a fair bit of tofu and the Tofoo versions are even more convenient.

!PIZZA is nice too :)

what's the recipe for the broccoli, it sounds delish.

I'm still making my mind up about tofu, it always reminds me of putty. I think it was okay crumbled, smothered in many tasty things and roasted for a bit. I had it in tacos and threw it in a chilli.

I get on with tempeh, though, quite like that 😍

Cut a large head of broccoli into florets (cut large ones in half - you can also trim the stalk down and slice). Add to a pan of boiling water for around a minute - minute and a half. Drain.

Slice paneer into cubes (200g) and fry, turning until nicely coloured (couple minutes). Add around 10 cherry tomatoes (halved) and the broccoli wok and stir fry for a few minutes. Sprinkle in a crushed/grated clove of garlic, some chilli flakes (amount to your taste), 1 tsp of garam masala or medium curry powder. I used a tsp of garam masala and added 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder. Stir fry for another couple minutes.

Season with lemon juice and ground black pepper.

It's meant to serve 3 at around 345 cals a portion.

That sounds lovely and quick and easy to make!

Absolutely, under 10 mins of preparation and about 7 mins to cook. I was honestly surprised how good it was. Would probably take some coconut milk or other simple sauce if a saucy curry is a preference.

I'm tending to buy a broccoli head and cut and cook it in one go, usually in the microwave. I inherited a super little microwave container with a tray with handles, an inside perforated tray to hold food and then a domed, vented cover. It's great for vegetables with a tablespoon of water added in the bottom tray. I pull out broccoli portions over the next day or two and add them to what I'm making or concoct something lovely like this - perfect.
