For 1 person? With 1 shelf in a shared kitchen. And limited budget.

Thanks

It would be a lot more economical to cook batches of food with 4+ portions, rather than cook single portions. Although I appreciate that you might have difficulty storing the extra portions. Do you have a freezer?

No freezer and the slow cooker is a small one which does up to 2 portions

Spinach, sweetpotato and chickpea curry.

Enough for 2 servings.

Bag of baby spinach £1 use 1/3
Sweetpotato 80p
1/3Tin of chickpeas 30p
Jar of curry paste £1.50 (It'll do 4 lots)
Cream coconut ( cream not milk) can't remember price but use 1/4 block
1/2 Pk of Passata 30p

Chuck it in the slow cooker 2hrs high or 4hrs slow.
Rest of spinach can be used in anything or use as salad leaf.
Chickpeas use in salad (protein)

Everything else will keep in fridge until you make it again.

If you have a food bank near you, then may have or know where you can get a slow cooker recipe book for people on budget. Lots of food projects produce them for people on limited budgets.

Chicken tacos:
A chicken breast or two
Some taco seasoning (probably half a sachet is fine)
A can of black beans
A chopped onion
Small can of sweetcorn.

Cook on low until the chicken shreds easily and eat inside taco shells or a wrap, with some chopped raw tomato on top and some grated cheese. Can add sour cream or guacamole too if you want - anything you like.
