This World War II recipe was first published by Marmite and is a tasty Vegetarian alternative to regular Rissoles. I’ve rewritten the directions to be a little more precise and suit modern methods to a greater extent. Marmite is a British ‘spread’ and you can obtain it at an international grocery store in the United States. As a WWII ad for Marmite says “stock your larder with a few jars of Marmite now!”. Enjoy 🙂 Please Note: Preparation time includes Rice Cooking time!
This is a vegetarian version of a traditional Albanian dish. It makes a tasty side and is delicious served with yogurt, which is commonly eaten in Albanian meals. You can use any mushrooms you want, but the stronger tasting ones are better. Spice to taste, I like more red pepper than the Albanians probably do. Adapted from 20 Albanian Recipes and submitted for My Food Odyssey.
A very easy very yummy taco soup. This version is vegetarian but you can add shredded chicken very easily.
Dr Rupy’s warming cauliflower soup is the perfect pick-me-up on a cold winter’s lunchtime. In November 2023, this recipe was costed at an average of £1.41 per portion when checking prices at four UK supermarkets. The recipe is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard.
Butternut squash makes a lovely vegetarian stew when mixed with a few store cupboard ingredients. A great dinner for busy days where you want something cheap and healthy. If you add plant-based yoghurt, it’s also vegan.
