Frozen veg - what can I do with it?

[RarelyUnreasonable]

We are trying to empty our freezer this week by eating only from it. The plan is then to batch cook and refill it :D The nice things have gone, and there are just bags and bags of frozen veg left.

My plan is to cook them with a jar of Sharwoods to make veg curry and serve with rice, but I think it'll be vile. Will it be ok? How can I make it naice?

And what else can I do with them?

What veg is in there?

I just made a big batch of pea soup from frozen peas, onion and mint.

[Labootin]

Boil it
Then eat it

[RarelyUnreasonable]

Will do the pea soup.

Boiling it and eating it is fine, but what with? There is some rice and a couple of fish fingers, but any more exciting ideas welcome :)

Egg fried rice with peas and sweetcorn

Fry onion and garlic, add veg, add stock, simmer until veg is cooked, add herbs, blend, serve with bread.

Vegetable paella. It's good if you have a bag of mixed veg like peas carrots sweet corn green beans.

I've done a kinda byriani (sp) in the microwave. Rice, mixed veg - whatever you have - curry paste and water. Stir, cover and zap. Recipe was from BBC but I don't have it to link, sorry. You could use some with pasta in a cream or tomatoe based sauce, stir fries, veg soup, mix with cous cous.

Oh, and the Sharwoods sauce curry idea, only vile if you find the sauce you use vile

[Mum2Fergus]

Stir fry?

[RaspberryLemonPavlova]

Vegetable soup?

Veg pasta bake?

My Mum used to make a pie with veg in a cheese sauce.

What veg do you have?

Cheese sauce and pasta with veg. Think cauliflower macaroni cheese or just a mixture will do the trick. I often add frozen spinach to cheese sauce to make green sauce for spaghetti that is very popular with the DCs. Also a mixture of frozen veg makes an excellent thai curry if you have some spices/chillis and coconut milk/cream. Minestrone?

Dhal with some frozen spinach added is good.

I have also worked on emptying the freezer this week. Had a bag of peppers and just fried them up in a little olive oil, added a squirt of lemon - great with anything eg omelette, veggieburgers.

cook them in stock, add a tin of beans (such as borlotti - not baked beans in sauce) and some pasta - instant minestrone, takes about 10 mins

[Allofaflumble]

I make a batch of soup once a week from mixed frozen veg (cauli, broccoli, carrots) or just carrots with coriander (maybe add a couple of spuds) and then take to work each day. I take a tbs of cream to add as it makes it really special then. I don't add any fat in the cooking though. bit of garlic and onion makes it very tasty.

With couscous and peri peri spice is a quick and delicious light dinner.
