Ideas puhlease. Have red lentils, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, not much else and very little culinary imagination...

[Jessajam]

what can I make...?

do you fancy soup?

or curry (assuming you have spices and rice)

what about lentil burgers
with veg

do you really not have anything else? no eggs / milk / cheese / rice / protein?

hmmmm
Ideally something for ds to have too...he's 18mo, so soup might be asking a bit much of him....but a mild curry would be ok.

Have hunted through kitchen
I have rice and spices.
Also have cous cous
and a bit of bacon
if that helps

plus some dog food, mysterious jar of pickled onions ( well out of date) and three bananas!!!

oh...have milk and eggs.

See! I have so little culinary imagination I can't even spot food in my own kitchen!

fry some bacon and add some onion, smidgen of chilli and black pepper and add to cous cous

made it other nite for supper
was heaven

banana friiters
just make a simple batter out of flour

you could add veg to doormats recipe in small florets ... and add some cumin maybe?

you could obviously make a veggy omelette

cheese and tinned toms? a lentil bake?

I did sweet potato & Lentil soup last week, was yummy, guess you could do it with carrots instead of sweet pots. It is 4oz red lentils, boiled in water for 15mins. Fry chopped onion until soft then add 1lb diced normal pots & 1lb diced sweet pots, so use carrots there instead, also garlic and I used 2 tabs of patax curry paste, but powder will do. Fry all of that together for a further 5 mins or so then add 2 pints veg stock and cook for about 15 mins. When cooked add lentils and blitz it all together. Really nice.

OK, just seen his age... easy on the curry powder, try and keep it nice and thick, less stock maybe and add pasta to it?

hmmm aouns to me like you need a take-away

sounds to me

I'd go to the chippy, if I were you.

I'm sorry "make a simple batter" ??? Even that is beyond my knowledge (DH cooks in this household). Like for pancakes????

I can make cheese omlette

So I could cook the veg and chuck it into an omlette ( Hmmmm will ds eat an omlette? Worth a try)

I would make a soup with the red lentils, cauli and carrots. Have the broccoli another day. You could use mild spices such as paprika, cumin, or garam masala, an 18 m o would be fine with that.

We had takeway last night!

It's not a dire situation, honest, there is food around. Stuff in the freezer etc.
I need to use up these veg before they go soggy.

bollocks to the batter .. I'd just give him a banana

although if you have vanilla icecream you could just slice banana down the middle and fry it gently till golden then serve with ice cream .. but that's for you not toddler .. would be a waste on a toddler

That'll be my dessert then!!

Thanks everyone...off to try a thick lentil-y soup I think...
