To ask for cooking help? I am a shit cook.

[Hullygully]

As a result of the No Sugar thread, I have realised that I can't cook. Not one bit. No siree.

I need help.

These are the rules:

1. No cheese of any kind.
2. No meat
3. Not more than two pots for any one dish
4. Mustn't take hours
5. No cheese.

Thank you please help me.

LaQueen are u LeQueen?

I make my own stock.

Easiest veggie chilli ever

Chuck the following in pan; stir and heat:

Tin or two mixed beans
Big jar tomato sauce (Seeds of Change one nice) Or make your own

Chilli to taste ( lazy squeezy chilli good)

Lots of chopped fresh coriander.

Serve with pittas or wraps; sour cream or yoghurt; guacamole, etc. Or just by itself.

I made http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1898646/mushroom-stroganoff this the other night really easy took around 30 minutes I substituted the sour cream for cream and just used whatever mushrooms I had. I do find quite a few good recipies on 'whispers' netmums another website.

I also make my own stock. I'll use it in a courgette risotto tonight.

That has no meat. But three pots including the stock pot, two hours minimum to boil the chicken bones, 30 minutes stirring time and lots of cheese.

Beans on toast? I put cheese in mine but it's not compulsory. You may however be spooked at the amount of hidden sugar in baked beans.

Egg fried rice:

1 sachet of the micro basmati rice (brown or white)
Variety of veg all chopped the same size (i use 1 red pepper, 1 carrot, 1 onion - you could use a frozen mix - not sure what's out there)
cup of frozen peas
2 eggs
Protein (cubed cooked quorn, frozen prawns, leftover cooked chicken, pork, ham - not beef or lamb)
Garlic and ginger (use a teaspoon of the lazy stuff if wanted)
tsp oil (veg/sunflower)
tbsp light soy sauce
tbsp Sweet chilli sauce
(1 red chilli chopped - optional)

In a large non stick wok/pan fry mixed veg, garlic & ginger (& chilli if using) in the oil for a few mins. Beat eggs in a bowl. Heat rice for 2 mins in micro. Stir in protein (if using) cook/heat thru for a couple of mins. stir in rice and soy & sweet chilli. Push all the ingredients to the side of the pan and turn up the heat, tilt the pan so the bare part is over the heat. Add whisked eggs to the bare part of the pan and let set, stir it up so you get quite stiff omelette/scrambled egg NOT mixing in with the other ingredients (this bit takes some practice - if easier you could do the eggs in a separate pan and stir them thru) . Stir it all thru together. serve. Feeds 2.

Should take about 10 mins. We always have this on a monday after roast chicken or pork (but if you are veggie it is good with or without quorn)

aw thanks all

you can stop now

i'm getting overwhelmed

I've got stock phobia

aggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Wild mushroom pasta - easy, takes about 15 minutes.

2 red chillies - chopped and deseeded (unless brave and hardened of mouth)
Clove of garlic - squished and chopped
Mushrooms - lots of naice ones, not the white button ones with no flavour. (bleurgh)
Handful of flat leaf parsley - chopped a bit
Pasta - enough
Olive oil - few hefty slugs (its got to lubricate the pasta as well as fry the 'shrooms)

Must admit I tend to use garlic olive oil as garlic AND olive oil is too complicated for me.

1. Fry the chillies and mushrooms in the garlic [and] oil
2. Boil pasta
3. Drain pasta when cooked.
4. Chuck drained pasta into mushroom mixture
5. Sling on chopped parsley, stir it up
6. Plunk into bowls

Nice with salad.

I thought the parsley was just for show and tried it without. It's not half as nice.

I add parmesan at the end too except when feeding my vegan friend or freaky people who don't like cheese .

Two pots, plates, forks, one slotted spoon, one sharp knife and eat the salad straight from the bag. Luverly.

There, all comfy

You have a lot of phobias hully. ::peers over glasses:: would you like to talk about that?

Hully you were the last poster in the thread again. Do you time it?

I would I find that I have a phobia about pretty much anything I don't like doing

exit Frozen peas!

hully After cooking couscous for the first time the other day I am definitely now converted to , am pretty sure it really is magic!

Interesting.

::strokes chin::

Can you expand on that?

again?

I'm not normally. Am I?

Cooking peeps, another thread got full so this one now has to accommodate cooking and weird stuff. There is at least a vague tomato thing they share.

I do like couscous. So quick.

All that chin stroking is making me a bit queasy

I know. On the sugar thread peeps talked of MKING JAM!!!!!!

Cooking is fun!

I think I upset Hath on t'other thread by saying none of this was real, and was typing a reply but it is full.

This is why I try to emanate blandness.

And baking.
