Cheap healthy meals

[Fancyachive]

Has anyone got any recipes for cheap healthy meals please

[Madratlady]

Home made pizzas work out fairly cheap. Jacket potatoes. Soup. I use quorn instead of chicken most of the time as that's cheaper.

[Fancyachive]

Thank you ! What does quorn taste like I've never tried it ?

Smoked mackerel, salad and jacket potato.

One of my quick standby meals is chicken chunks, stir fried in sunflower oil plus a bit of sesame oil if you have it, when chicken is cooked chuck in some frozen bean mix, when all is cooked serve over rice - brown or mixture works welll with the seseame oil flavour.

Vegetable curries
Vegetable stews/casseroles

There's a cookbook and blog on very cheap but healthy means by A Girl Called Jack (Jack Monroe):

I was going to say falafel too, insanely cheap and actually very easy to make. We have it with couscous and veg, or with sweet potato wedges. We also tend to buy a lot of turkey instead of chicken, as it works out a bit cheaper.

I made pizza base myself for the first time recently. Using organic flour I made 6 good size bases for £2. So cost will be lots less if using non-organic. And you can freeze the dough!!! Amazing. So we ate half and I froze half of them in pizza portions.

This is the recipe I used.

Becool did you bake the base then put tomato sauce & toppings on or do it all in one go? My pizza bases need to be baked first to avoid sogginess so I'm interested to see if this is quicker!

How cheap do you mean?

Watch out for Quorn, a lot of people are allergic to it.

Chicken flatbread and salad is really cheap and easy.

Flatbread is plain flour and water (can add a little yogurt if you wish). Mix until you get a dough, split into balls, roll and fry in an empty pan (no oil). Pieces of chicken thigh, fry in a little oil with some chopped rosemary.
Salad is salad.

Jacket potatoes - cheese and beans

Pizzas

[MilkRunningOutAgain]

Egg dishes, omelettes and frittatas, and savoury pancakes are cheapish, things like a risotto, with just a small amount of left over chicken, few rashers of bacon for flavour. Macaroni cheese, any pasta dish with a tomato/ roasted veg sauce.

I didn't cook them first. Just made quite thin bases, added sauce and toppings and cooked at about 220 c for 10 or so minutes.

Taking a ball of fresh lovely dough out of the freezer ROCKS!

It made 6 one hungry adult sized pizza. Though half one each has been fine for me and a friend.
