Vegan fudge...

I am following a vegan diet for three weeks - on day 5 at the moment - and needed something sweet.  I made a batch of dairy free fudge which is cooling at the moment.  I was quite indulgent as I used some 'Green Spot' Irish whiskey to give it a bit of a kick.  Hope it firms up and tastes as good as it should and hopefully I'll be able to share some pics tomorrow.

What is your store cupboard, old reliable, ten minute recipe? This is mine for when I am too tired to cook but need a 'proper' dinner....

Mine is Kidney beans and basmati rice.  Both kids eat it without fail and it takes me just over ten minutes from start to on the on the table. Here's how to do it!

Serves 2
1-2 teaspoons of olive oil
clove of garlic, crushed or grated
an inch of ginger, grated
one chili, deseeded and chopped
one tin of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2-3 tablespoons of tomato puree
1/2 carton of soya cream
100gr basmati rice

Method

Heat the olive oil in a pan.  Add the garlic, ginger and chili.  Cook for a few mins, stirring occasionall to ensure no burning.  Add the kidney beans.  Stir through.  Add tomato puree and stir through.  Add soya cream and stir through.  Should be a lovely deep orange colour.

While you are cooking the garlic, ginger and chili, get the rice cooking.   Rice should be cooked just as kidney beans are ready.  :)

I always serve this with a green vegetable.  Tonight we had shredded savoy cabbage.
