Freezer friendly meals

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

I'd like to share with a you a few freezer friendly recipes which I make regularly and freeze ready for busy days. I don't buy or eat ready made ultra processed foods. Instead I like to prepare freezable dishes so that I can serve wholesome homemade foods even when I'm short of time.

These individual nut roasts are something I started to make for that very reason. I cook a batch, leave them to cool and then transfer to a freezer bag. I find these very useful as they can be defrosted and reheated in a microwave in minutes ready to serve with the rest of our meal.

Similarly, nut cutlets are perfect for freezing. Defrost however many you want, cook for a few minutes each side and serve with roast potatoes or rice and vegetables.

Other recipes including chilli and dahl are also great for freezing. I freeze them in individual portions ready to use for a quick and easy dinner.

​Individual nut roasts​

These mini nut roasts are baked in a muffin tin and are perfect for freezing. They are delicious served as part of a Sunday roast dinner, for Thanksgiving or for Christmas dinner.

​Veggie chilli​

This veggie chilli is a lentil based dish which is perfect for making in bulk. It pairs well with rice or jacket potatoes.

​Three bean chilli​

Made using three varieties of beans, this vegetarian chilli is a perfect make ahead meal.

​Lentil and spinach dahl​

This Indian inspired dish is quick and easy to prepare and pairs well with rice or naan.

​Nut cutlets​

​Nut cutlets are also perfect for freezing. Once defrosted they can be cooked in minutes.

Until next time 🙂
