…that I know of, and perfect as a BBQ side order or cooked up on a campfire at a festival, is detailed below. It’s also suitable for vegetarians and vegans. So no excuses, it’s a taste sensation.

Take a can of baked beans, and wash them until they’re free of tomato juice. Sweat an onion in a frying pan, add a bit of rosemary and some chives, and throw the beans in. Chuck in a tin of chopped tomatoes, and a sprinkling of tobasco sauce.  (Keep tasting it so you don’t add too much or too little.)

Cook up some rice (boiled basmati is best for this,) and serve hot with salad. This little beaut is full of nutrients and costs very little to make.

I have also discovered the joys of cooking fish on a barbecue. You can get two fillets for around £3 which will fill you right up, and fish is full of protein and omega 3. Perfect for a healthy diet.

Take a fillet and cut it into 3 chunks. Place a piece on a square of tin foil, sprinkle with pepper, add a sprig of rosemary or a touch of parsley and top with a lemon slice. Wrap the foil around the fish segment like a little parcel, and chuck it on the BBQ for about 15 minutes, turning it occasionally to ensure even cookage. It will not disappoint.
