FRIDGE-RAID SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan on a medium heat and cook the onion, carrot and celery until soft, about 10 mins, then add the garlic, thyme and tomato purée. Pour in the stock along with the tomatoes, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 mins.
• Add the cannelini beans, the green veg and potato pieces, along with a generous pinch of seasoning. Cover and simmer for another 15-20 mins or so until the veg is tender and the soup has thickened. Top with some parsley, crumbled feta, olives, chilli flakes (for those who like spice) and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve with crusty bread on the side for dunking.

FRIDGE-RAID FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat half the vegetable oil in a wok or a frying pan over a medium-high heat, and stir-fry the onions, carrots and green beans for 5 mins. Add the peppers, broccoli and chicken, and stir-fry for 3 mins more.
• Tip in the rice and stir-fry for another 4 mins until all the grains of rice have separated. Push the rice and vegetables to the side, then add the remaining vegetable oil to the other. Crack in the egg and scramble briefly before stirring into the veg and chicken mixture.
• Stir in the sesame oil and oyster sauce to coat, then garnish with the spring onions and sesame seeds.
