What did you have for dinner today?

Do you have freezer space? As a fellow solo cooker I also struggle with that, but I like to freeze things like curries and stews in portions. I had a fish curry last night, shop bought Thai green curry paste, coconut milk, I added fresh chilli and parsley, then whatever veg you fancy (I use butternut squash, aubergine and green beans). Any white fish will do (or prawn is also very nice), defrosted if frozen, cut up into chunks and dropped in at the end as it only takes a few mins to cook. A good meal for one if you don’t have freezer space: get a potato, cut it into cubes and coat in oil. Season with smoked paprika, a little turmeric, salt/pepper and garlic granules. Into the oven 200 electric 180 fan for 35-40 mins until crispy and golden brown, stick a fork in one to check it’s soft all the way through. This is a great side to anything you fancy whether it’s fish or grilled chicken and veg, but I also like to do a breakfast thing with it: Fry some chopped up bacon in a pan (chorizo is also great). When it’s nice and crispy, add baked beans and mix together. Cook until beans are bubbling and thick. Plate this on top of the potatoes to keep some crispiness in the potatoes or you can mix them in, up to you! Top with two fried eggs. I like to drizzle sweet chilli sauce over to finish. If you want to add a boost of green healthiness, add spinach to the bean mix! Halloumi is a great alternative to bacon for vegetarians. Or no meat at all if you don’t fancy it, I’ve also had it with just potato beans and eggs. Cheap ingredients and super easy to make, filling and satisfying, one of my fave solo meals :) Here’s another good meal that makes two portions: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/aubergine-halloumi-harissa-skillet-bake Would make a nice sandwich filling for the next day imo!!
