Here’s a delicious veggie chili that feeds four

Here’s a delicious veggie chili that feeds four for less than $20! It requires just a few ingredients - canned beans and tomatoes, frozen veggies, an onion and chili seasoning. That’s it!

It’s very easy to make - simply saute the onion, then add the beans, tomatoes, frozen veggies, seasoning and a cup of water, and simmer for 45 minutes. Easy as! You can find the full recipe on the @foodinaminute_ website.

To save on your food bill:
✨Check what’s in season for produce, or opt for frozen or canned vegetables - they’re just as nutritious!
✨Enjoy canned legumes (like beans or chickpeas). They help boost the plant protein and fibre content, and save oodles of prep time too.

Yoghurt muesli bowl🥝🍌 An easy brekkie idea for your Tuesday morning☀️

Simply add to a bowl a sliced fruit or two, Greek yoghurt, and a few heaped Tbsp of muesli, nuts and seeds.

This dish is so easy to switch up based on what’s in the kitchen. It always becomes my default breakfast when my pantry becoming cluttered with too many half open bags of nuts/seeds😅

Spring pesto orzo salad with BBQ venison and mushr

Spring pesto orzo salad with BBQ venison and mushrooms🌱🥩

We whipped this up for dinner this week and are obsessed! It’s packed with flavour, easy to make and nutritious to boot.

It’s @nzvenison BBQ week, so the perfect time to enjoy some grass-fed farm-raised Kiwi venison. Nutritionally, venison is an excellent source of lean protein, as well as minerals iron, potassium and zinc💪

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients
60g spinach
½ cup frozen peas
¼ cup almonds
1 lemon, zest and juice
1 clove garlic
¼ cup olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups rocket
1 cup orzo
A handful of flat-leaf parsley
BBQ venison and mushrooms
500g grass-fed venison medallions
8 portobello mushrooms, medium
2 tsp hemp seeds

Method
Boil a small pot of water on the stove top. Add spinach and peas and cook for a few minutes.

Drain and add to a food processor, along with the almonds, lemon and garlic. Blitz until finely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the oil.

Cook the orzo to packet instructions. Drain and keep aside.

Fire up the BBQ. Oil the medallions, and salt and pepper both sides. Oil the mushroom. Fry the medallions for 2-3 minutes each side, or until down to your likeness. Fry mushrooms on BBQ until cooked.

Allow meat to rest covered for five minutes. Slice mushrooms. Add to a bowl the orzo, pesto, rocket and mushrooms and mix well.

Slice meat across the grain. Divide salad between bowls and top with venison and a sprinkle of hemp seeds.
