RE: Good Value Grub
I was taught by a friend of mine (almost finished renovations and recipe to get his 1st Mitchy star!!!) that if you use great ingredients the food will at least taste of the ingredients, so get the best you can. Pretty good logic hu? So I'm with you on this one.
You know who makes the best courgettes and they cost about 3p each? Any damn gardener out there!!! haha. Same as growing garlic, easy to do and cheap as can be! Chile plants are easy to grow by a window as well. Couple that with ghee, oil, and lemon, and you're laughing!
One of my favourite snacks is.....
1 tea spoon of grapeseed oil (100x better than olive oil or veg oil for cooking)
3 courgettes, slices like crisps through a potato peeler
1 pinch of chile flakes
1 clove of garlic on the end of a fork as a spatula
a pinch of salt and pepper
a small scoop of ghee (about 1/2 a table spoon)
and a splash of lemon (add once food is on the plate.
It's stunning!!! And the carbs digest very slowly thanks to the ghee, while the chile flakes increase thermogenics and help burn fat. The courgette itself has so few calories that it's a damn good meal. Oh, and the lemon retards insulin spikes giving a nice regular blood sugar level. Healthy and fricking delicious!!!
Oh, also, eggs, parsley and lemon (again add lemon once food is on the plate) delicious scrambled eggs!!!
