This creamy mushroom pasta makes a healthy, super-satisfying dinner for two at just over £1 per portion. Dr Rupy uses silken tofu to give the sauce a wonderful creaminess and extra protein. Each serving provides 743 kcal, 28g protein, 53g carbohydrate (of which 7g sugars), 14g fat (of which 2g saturates), 12g fibre and 1.2g salt.
Dr Rupy’s simple vegan stew is so simple to throw together and packed with flavour. In November 2023, this recipe was costed at an average of £0.88 per portion when checking prices at four UK supermarkets. The recipe is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard.
A rice bowl is a wondrous thing, but often – despite the simplicity of its title – a rather cluttered and complicated one. Here, I have pared it back, to make a gorgeously seasoned rice bowl, with nothing more than a few seeds, herbs and radishes stirred through it, and an avocado to top it. It’s a simple take on an inspiringly expansive idea. So please use this as a starting point only. It’s very much a non-recipe recipe, and every time I make it, I add something different, depending on what’s to hand. Each serving provides 498 kcal, 13g protein, 61g carbohydrate (of which 4.1g sugars), 21g fat (of which 4g saturates), 6.1g fibre and 1.9g salt.
Step aside pulled pork, here’s a crispy alternative. This air fryer pork steak sandwich is just as great in a bun and ready in no time at all.
This is one of my favourite suppers, although there’s nothing that says you can’t serve this as a vegetable side. And you could also bolster it further by crumbling in some feta. But for me, it is perfect just as it is. Each serving provides 483 kcal, 17g protein, 39g carbohydrate (of which 14g sugars), 26g fat (of which 3.5g saturates), 15g fibre and 2.7g salt.
