Stroganoff two ways

 Once again two versions of the "same" dish - one made with meatballs for the veg dodger - and the other with chickpeas for the veggie.  I, of course, had both.

Start with 2 pans ... and another to make the rice. I used a rice ball, but you could use a microwave, or just a pan etc...

Olive oil
Onion
Garlic
Mushrooms
Paprika
Meatballs
White wine
Tomatoes
Chickpeas
Veg stock cube
Chicken stock cube
cornflour
Sour cream

1.  In two pans sautee onions in olive oil, add crushed garlic.
2.  In the veg pan, add chopped mushrooms.
3.  In the meatball pan, add meatballs and fry until lightly browned, then add chopped mushrooms.
4.  To both pans add a glass of white wine and a sprinkle of paprika.
5.   Simmer for a while, then add halved cherry tomatoes, stir in.
6.  Add veg stock to the veggie version, and chicken stock to the meaty version.  Simmer again.
7.  Drain a can of chick peas and add to the veggie version.
8.  When the rice is done turn off thicken the sauce of the stroganoffs (if required) using cornflour slaked in a little water, then turn off the heat.
9.  Stir a spoonful of sour cream into each stroganoff.
10.  Serve, scoff ..

Meatball and cauliflower pasta bake

This has to be one of the easiest things to chuck together, but it's tasty and relatively good for you.  Boil penne and cauliflower florets in salted water for about 9 minutes.  Mix 2 tins of chopped tomatoes with some squished garlic, salt and plenty of black pepper (you could cook this first, you could add other veg etc to make a more complex sauce, and/or chili to heat it up a bit, but this works).  Tip meatballs, drained pasta and cauliflower into oven proof dish, stir in tomato sauce.  Grate cheese on top.  In the oven for 20-30 minutes.  Scoff.  I wasn't sure if victim would like this, and we have been a bit pasta'd out recently - but the declaration was "tasty!".

Spaghetti and meatballs in spicy tomato sauce

One more bargain from Waitrose - well actually several more - there could be a few meatball recipes soon, due to bumper bargain meatball swoop.  Chopped onion and celery, sauteed in olive oil with garlic, added chopped courgette and chili.  Stirred in meatballs, a tin of chopped tomatoes some stock and a squirt of tomato puree.  Boil spaghetti.  Serve with grated parmesan and ground black pepper.
