I would love for us to share some of our favorite frugal meals. Tonight we had Cauliflower Curry. So healthy and high- end, price-wise for us. I would love fresh frugal dinner ideas. Here is our go-to winter meal with cauliflower, roughly $4-7, depending on if from your garden, bought on sale, etc.
1 head cauliflower, diced
1 quart diced tomatoes (large can, if buying from store)
2-4 cups cooked white or sweet potatoes or pasta of any kind
2 tsp curry powder
1 cup peas
1/2 c raisins
Salt, to taste
Put cauliflower and raisins into pan with a bit of water. Steam for 5 min over high heat. Add tomatoes, curry powder and salt and cover, cook over medium heat. Add remaining ingredients and cook until heated through. Plain yogurt spooned on top is a nice addition.
Tonight I made a very simple meal, as I was tired and in the mood for something plain and good. Sautee 4 minced/pressed cloves garlic in olive oil until lightly browned. Throw in a big head of broccoli cut into florets with a splash of water and cover until steamed tender. Season with kosher salt and chopped parsley (or any other herbs), add a bit more olive oil and sautee until broccoli is kind of crispy. Serve over angel hair pasta with grated Parmesan and toasted pine nuts. Yum!
