To ask you what quick dish would you make for tea?

Needs to be veggie.

Tea has gone wrong and doing the food shop tomorrow… I’m probably going to have to nip back out to the shops. DH and I usually eat around 8-9 anyway so it’s fine in that sense, but need something quick, filling, relatively healthy-ish and with little washing up to do.

What would you make/throw together?

I'd buy a ready meal or do beans on toast

Vodka pasta from bbc good food is quick and really tasty obviously need to have vodka in though.

Stuffed peppers with couscous & melted cheddar

One pan thingy - I’d roast whatever veg is lurking in the fridge - cherry tomatoes and peppers would be ideal but chopped courgette, mushroom, leek, anything like that. Boil pasta. Tip pasta into roasted veg. Stir in Boursin garlic cheese. Super easy and delicious.

or pesto pasta - but I really like pesto, pecorino (tescos is vegetarian) and pine nuts. They add a lovely texture. You don’t need many.

Feta and tomato pasta, bake cherry tomatoes. Feta and garlic drizzled in oil for 30 mins, cook pasta, when the Feta and tomatoes are bakes mix it all up (crush the garlic with a fork) then mix with the pasta

For two:
fry sliced garlic and chilli, add a tin of tomatoes and a handful or two of frozen peas. Break in four eggs when bubbling and cover. Serve when whites just coloured up and set - serves with couscous, jacket potato, rice as required. For more pzazz, add some grated lemon zest and/or some basil and top with freshly grated parmesan.

Eggs is my go to when I don't have energy for making a meal. Usually a simple omelette with some bread/hummus too

Pot Noodle de Legumes

Arlanymor · 04/06/2024 19:13

Mushrooms on toast. Use the Gordon Ramsey recipe, it’s amazing.

vincettenoir · 04/06/2024 19:13

Veg fried rice. Maybe with an egg on top.

We have just had a very nice quiche with roasted Mediterranean type veg , it was much nicer than I expected

HolyStyleFailBatman · 04/06/2024 19:11

pasta pesto with scallions, peas and mushrooms. You could add grated cheese or whatever you fancy

anon2022anon · 04/06/2024 19:10

Poached egg and beans on toast, add plum tomatoes and spinach if you fancy.

bakewellbride · 04/06/2024 19:09

@Moltenpink I learned on another thread that you can buy veggie Parmesan! So all good.

Jojobees · 04/06/2024 19:09

Stir fry? Beans on toast? Jacket potatoes? Pasta and pesto/ stir in sauce?
What do you fancy?

I’ve just had pasta with leeks, crème fraiche and Parmesan stirred in, served with garlic bread.

Sorry just realised Parmesan isn’t veggie

I had stir fry and falafel balls tonight. If you buy the pre-cut veg in a bag it's very easy. Added some mushroom, tomato and spinach. The kids / dh had theirs with noodles and a fried egg.
