Some ideas for quick but nutritious meals

Create a stir ~ Veggie Stir Fry

1. Take one packet of mixed stir fry vegetables choose from a selection of ready prepared vegetable packs in the chilled section of any supermarket.

2. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan and stir fry the vegetables for 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Add a small jar of black bean sauce (check it's suitable for vegetarians) and stir through the vegetables.

Spaghetti with Artichokes

1. Cook spaghetti following the instructions on the packet and drain well.

2. Drain a jar of artichokes in oil, chop, then stir into the pasta for a delicious instant dish.

Pasta and pesto

1. Cook any shape or type of pasta following the instructions on the packet. Allow 100g/4oz per person.

2. Drain and add 2~3 tablespoons of vegetarian pesto and stir well through the pasta.

Jacket potatoes

Jacket potatoes are a good source of Vitamin C and fibre. They can be given a wide variety of toppings other than cheese!

Try some of the following toppings:

pesto, ratatouille, hummus, baked beans, roasted vegetables, lentil casserole, artichokes, chilli, garlic butter, chopped tomatoes and herbs…


Things on toast!

Well, there's cheese on toast and beans on toast-- that great veggie standby - but you might also like to try:

scrambled free range eggs/or scrambled tofu on toast, mushrooms on toast, tomatoes on toast, yeast extract on toast, veggie pâtés on toast, hummus on toast…

Great in stir frys
Tofu is delicious, nutritious and versatile.

If you're trying it for the first time choose smoked or marinated tofu available from both health food stores and supermarkets rather than plain tofu. If you use plain tofu, it's best to marinade it before use.

Adding pre-marinated tofu and cashew nuts to the stir fry vegetable recipe will add both interest and a good source of nutrients.

Check that pesto is suitable for vegetarians as parmesan cheese is likely not to be vegetarian.
