Leftover Lunch Noodle Salad

🍜It really doesn’t need to be overcomplicated with a few store cupboard ingredients and some leftovers and bits and bobs from the fridge I rustled up this delicious dish in about 10mins. Made me think of your earlier post @cromonutrition about chucking in some colourful stuff! 😍

🥬I had left over noodles (a mixture of soba and wholewheat noodles) and cabbage from dinner the night before (I hate food waste so there’s always something leftover in my fridge from dinner) and then added whatever was lying about in the fridge: some radishes, spring onions, defrosted edamame beans and the tiniest amount of coriander (as that’s all I had) and made a noodle salad with a tahini dressing. It was delicious!!

🍽Swap:
edamame beans for frozen peas/broad beans/sweetcorn
Coriander for mint
Tahini for peanut butter
Cabbage for raw spinach/broccoli/lettuce/kale
Radish for cucumber/finely sliced mangetout/carrot/peppers
Soba noodles for egg noodles/rice noodles/udon etc

For the dressing:
2 tbsp of tahini
a few drops of tamari or soy sauce
a drizzle of sesame seed oil
a few drops of mirin/rice wine
A squeeze of lime
A tiny drop of maple syrup (optional)

🥣Add all dressing ingredients to an empty jam jar and give it a good shake with lid on and loosen with a few splashes of cold water. Give it a taste and correct the balance of flavour depending on how you find it. Mix with the cold noodles and your veggies and enjoy! Top with extra herbs if you have them.

This would be a lovely lunch or dinner on a hot summers day ☀️☀️………. wishful thinking!

Braised puy lentils with orzo 🧅This is a tast

Braised puy lentils with orzo

🧅This is a tasty vegetarian meal packed full of fibre and brightly coloured veg maximising your nutrient intake which we especially need at this time of year.
🧄It’s very versatile. You can use any veg you have mushrooms and spinach would work really well. You can use rice instead of orzo and fresh parsley instead of thyme. I love using the seaweed seasoning it adds a depth of flavour to the dish
🫑Orzo looks like rice but is in fact pasta. I used @merchantgourmet puy lentils that I precooked but you could use tinned lentils or the pre cooked variety in pouches @merchantgourmet do these too. I love puy lentils they are nuttier and have more texture than normal lentils

Ingredients

* Half butternut squash peeled and cut into small chunks
* 1 large onion or a few spring onions
* 2 Peppers (any colour) cut into small chunks
* 2 cloves of garlic crushed or grated
* 1 vegetable stock cube
* 1 cup of puy lentils
* 1 cup of orzo
* A few sprigs of thyme
* 1 bay leaf
* Salt and pepper to season
* @wonderfoodfromthedeep seaweed 1/2 tsp

Method
If you are using uncooked lentils cook them first and put aside
Gently fry the onion in some olive oil until softened then add the butternut squash, peppers, thyme, seaweed seasoning and garlic and cook for about 8 mins
Next add the orzo to the veg and crumble a stock cube in the pan and add enough water to cover the orzo
Make sure the heat is very low and keep an eye on it as orzo can stick. Add a little more water if this happens and cook for about 10mins until the orzo is cooked and the lentils towards the end of cooking and mix well and serve
