Last night I cooked
African peanut stew. It's rather yummy and fairly quick to cook, although the preparation is a bit lengthy.
In particular myself and K accidentally shelled 3x as many peanuts as required. Shelled, unsalted peanuts don't seem to be stocked in Tesco and other places.
This was also the first time I'd used yam, possibly the first time I've used okra and one of the rare occasions I've used cabbage. Yam is really quite different from sweet potato and was worth the effort in finding one.
In difference to other recipes, the one linked appears to feed four extremely large people. I had three portions left over, and didn't even use all the yam they suggested.
Need to find other yam recipes to use the remainder up.
In other exciting food news, I was rather put out to find Tesco no longer sell muesli base. The remainder of the muesli is either filled with milk or hideously expensive. Muesli Quest has begun!
I shall probably find some oats, bran etc in large quantities, but until then I've been trying various supermarket offers that feature no milk or banana.
Somerfield do not score well.. They meet the criteria, but it's pretty tasteless. Next up, Asda organic muesli and Asda smartprice muesli.
I object to spending lots of money on cereal; all the decent tasty cereal is correspondingly expensive. Muesli is a good alternative. The other option is toast, but I prefer muesli in general, even if toast gives me the opportunity to try gooseberry jam. mmm.
