Sausage casserole (with onions, peppers and mushrooms in) with mashed potatoes.
If you ever had a curry or curry sauce from a Chinese chip shop when you were in the UK, you will have a good idea. It's my favourite curry. It's like a cross between something Indian and something oriental and has a very pleasant sweetness and richness.
So last night I tried a recipe from the book "veganistan" (which happens to be written by a friend of mine so I got a free copy lol). It was called Turkish cabbage stew, which doesn't sound very appetising but it was actually delicious. It was onions and garlic, fried, added a whole smallish cabbage, roughly chopped and sauteed until softened. Added dried soya mince (briefly soaked to soften it up), tomato puree, bay leaves, paprika, aleppo pepper, thyme, oregano, cinnamon, a handful of raisins and veg stock, not a lot, just enough to almost cover then simmered until everything soft and cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Took about 20 mins. Had it with rice although flatbread would also be nice. I've got plenty left over for tea tonight. I'd not tried soya mince before and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was and pleasant to eat. Incredibly cheap source of protein too!
