Dell Ugo Beetroot and Goats Cheese Fiorelli (stuffed pasta) from Waitrose. Slightly undercook, toss with warmed hazelnut/walnut oil and serve on a handful of rocket with plenty of twists of black pepper and a couple of spoonfuls of chopped nuts (bakery aisle of most supermarkets by dried fruit).
Lidl potato wedges (lovely coating on and less than a pound).
Lidl green pesto (super fussy hubby prefers it to even premium brands).
Sainsbury’s ‘oat milk drink’ better than all other oat milk I’ve tried.
Koko unsweetened coconut milk. Surprisingly uncoconutty and the closest non dairy milk to milk I have found taste-wise.
Peppadew stuffed peppers in a jar (can only find them in Tesco at the moment). Amazing with anything but I pop them in Spanish omelette style frittatas and they give an amazing jalapeño popper-type effect.
30p Miss Molly’s plain/dark chocolate from Tesco.
Tesco chocolate spread
Merchant Gourmet Puy Lentils in pouches
Frozen sliced peppers (most supermarkets)
Frozen base mix/soffrito. Essentially mix of finely diced carrot, celery and onion. Tesco sell it and I’ve seen a Waitrose version too. Great for slow cooker prep (frozen diced onion also).
Tins of sliced onions fried in olive oil that Sainsbury’s sell. Brilliant when you’re short of time.
La Chinata Smoked Pimenton Sweet (smoked paprika in a tin from Sainsbury’s). I put it in everything!
