Oooo doing this from memory now.....



Original

Haricot beans ~ boil until cooked add a touch of salt.

Slice up a lemon into 1/4s this is to squeeze over the beans on the plate.

Sliced tomatoes.. to put on top of the beans.

Onion - cut in 1.4 to eat the beans. take off the silver lining as tastes better.

Oil.. to drizzle over.

Put beans in dish.. add oil.. and throw toms on top then drizzle with oil add salt. use the onion like a spoon and eat the onion too.

It is a very fresh and filling meal.

Also lovely with fresh corriander on the top and parsley.

But you could use a tin of tomatoes or puree and mix this in with the beans before serving add salt may want a small touch of sugar to take off that tartness of the tomato.... as carry on without the oil.

Lovely... deeeeeeelish!!!!!!

Irene posted a Tomato soup recipe on another thread and i tried it today really really enjoyed it, it was so filling.
Irenes original thread says to blend 1 can of beans and 1 can of choped tomatoes together but i added some onion powder and some mild chilli powder, just heat up when required and enjoy. :bliss:
Thanks Irene. xxx Loobylou

If you're having a green day, you could always roast the carrots with fry light along with some herbs and with any other root vegetables? I'm pretty sure it's free depending on the vegetables.
I like swede, turnips and potatoes... You could always put it with something more substatial.
I had that today with my quorn sunday roast :) It was yummy.

Off the top of my head I don't know any recipies for just carrots!

Spaceangel, did you say you started a seperate thread for just original recipes? I can't find it!

I think it's a great idea to have seperate threads for green and original. I do both days but find if I need a quick meal idea it takes me ages to trawl through everyone's recipes (fab though it is browsing through them all!)
 
I was sure i saw a thread for scan bran recipes but cant findj it lol:)
