Oh well fine, I suppose you could use a proper recipe rather than a half-arsed shortcut.

 

Once a stoodent always a stoodent.

Save your noodles for next time fish is around

I always do. He likes them fresh and springy.

btw I love how you suggested fish for a vegetarian meal.

You're like one of those greek mothers when told their child no longer eats meet, says "that's ok, I'll just cook them some lamb!"

 

We just finished a green salad with cherry tomatoes and avocado, with a piece of grilled altantic salmon and some garlic king prawns - a rarity in this house as the lass is allergic to seafood.

Here's one for you:

 

On Sunday I am cooking for myself and three friends. Got a £5 budget to feed everyone, and the meal has to be vegetarian, or at least pescatarian. Sort of want to avoid anything like a pasta bake, and curry was done last week. Any ideas?

 

Fishcakes. Tuna, potatoes, a lemon (for juice) & spring onions mixed together and have a load of salad with it.

Was looking at a roasted vegetable kebab recipe w/ pesto and served on warm pitta breads that might work, but looking at it now I do like the sound of the fishcakes. Just not sure if they would be substantial enough? Guessing I would just do mash potatoe, mix in the tuna from a can and (cooked?) spring onions then lightly fry them on either side? Would they need to be rolled in flour at all?

 

Any other suggestions for what I could serve them with that isn't salad?

 

EDIT: Could just do a bit of salad (ie lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes) then a generous helping of sweetcorn and broccoli?

Aye, was done a couple of weeks back though. Leaning towards the fishcakes, but might take a look around the reduced sections in Sainsburys for some other insipiration..

You see Ramsay's best restaurant last night?

 

The guys who eventually won made a risotto, but without rice seemed to go down well.

Beans on toast with grated cheese on top, alternatively, get a bigger budget.

Gunna do a nice simple Aubergine Bake with Pesto/Courgettes/Onions and topped with Cheddar and Mozzarella. Then will make some rice to serve it with. Came in well under £5

cheese needs a savoury mixture, jam ones need a sweet one.
