Pasta with anything is likely to be your fall back food. Top tip is to buy the quick cook pasta if you have the extra pennies. When you're a hungry and/or lazy student the shortened wait will be worth it.
I never managed to master cooking rice but if you're more of a culinary expert than I am then perhaps you can branch out into the realm of rice!
Cook pasta. Open jar of pesto. Empty jar. Grate cheese. Try not to grate fingers. Mix everything together. Enjoy.
Grab an onion, tin of chopped tomatoes, some dried herbs and frozen veg. Fry the onions in a pan and then mix everything else in. Leave to warm slowly and hope that the veg has defrosted by the time you come to eat it. Mix in with your friend Mr Pasta.
Grab an onion, tin of chopped tomatoes, some herbs and frozen veg. Sound familiar? Basically do as above but add some mince or mince Quorn and change the type of pasta you use, but only if you can be bothered.
You can get ready made bags of vegetables and sauces to just stick in a wok (or normal pan?). Just make sure you cook the chicken/quorn and you'll be set.
Depending on how you decide to do your shopping you'll either have nothing in the fridge or you'll have plenty of things that are a few days past their sell by date and smelling a little bit questionable because you did a HUGE shop and haven't quite got around to eating it all.
If it's the latter I strongly recommend websites like Love Food Hate Waste. On there you'll be able to find a whole range of recipes, many whose ingredients' list reads: "whatever you've got in the fridge".
If you don't like the sound of anything I've suggested (in which case I'm not sure I understand what you'll be living off unless it's take-away every single day) then just ask Google to give you a hand.
Or if you like having an actual cook book in the kitchen then rest assured you or someone you share a kitchen with will be receiving student a grub/nosh/fud/food cookbook in the coming weeks.
Bonne chance et bon appetit!
Adding to these eminently tasty and practical recipes, I'd add the tasty, healthy and above all cheap combination of rice and dhal to the mix. You'll need a bit of a stock up on spices first but once you've got them they'll last you ages!
To make a very basic dhal, just put split red lentils, a chopped onion and/or vegetable of your choice in plenty of salted water with a bit of turmeric, cumin, chilli and coriander, then gently boil for an hour or so. Serve with some rice and you're sorted!
Great website suggestion! Hadn't come across it before, will definately use it next term. Thank you
