With grocery prices continuing to rise and the east coast cold snap announcing the arrival of winter, it's time for wholesome, warming, and wallet-friendly food.
From lentils to quinoa, here are three recipes that are cheap, flavoursome, and good for you.
Directly translating to "pasta and beans", this simple dish from Julia Busuttil Nishimura may be easy to prepare but offers layers of rich flavour and a wonderfully silky texture.
A sumptuous combination of passata, chicken stock, and rosemary gives the soup plenty of umami punch, which you can amp up even further by adding a leftover parmesan rind.
If you're keen to speed this up for a mid-week meal, chuck all the ingredients for your veggie base into a food processor and give them a quick blitz — you'll have a hearty, creamy dinner on the table in no time!
This lentil dahl is packed full of vegetable goodness thanks to the addition of pumpkin, sweet potato, and cauliflower.
Making the spice mix from scratch might seem laborious but it means you're getting maximum flavour, which is crucial in the absence of any animal proteins.
"Curry powder is usually a mix of different spices that have been ground together, but once you grind your spices down to a powder, they start to lose their potency," says chef Christine Mansfield.
You should be able to get all the ingredients for under $20, however, if it costs more remember that the spices will keep and can be used in other meals down the track.
This comforting, vegetable-heavy bowl from dietician and nutritionist Heidi Sze will have you reassessing this humble whole grain. (Plus, it really is good for you.)
Buying a jar of tahini might seem extravagant but stored in the fridge it'll keep for five-to-six months after you've opened it. More than enough time to use it to perfect your hummus recipe or even in banana bread.
Once you've polished off this comforting dish you can feel smug knowing you've had a healthy, hearty dinner as you wash up the one pot you used.
