I want to introduce you to a concept i’m going to include in a few of my recipes, but I also wanted to start off with a bit of a puzzle, can you see the mystery ingredient in this Spaghetti ? You wouldnt expect it as a normal
ingredient in spaghetti.
Its Carrot.
I grated three smaller carrots before I started cooking the Chorizo so that I could lower the calorie density of the meal. After the Chorizo was cooked, I added with the sauce.
As well as lowering the calorie density so I still feel as full without eating as many calories, Vegetables are also cheap, so it helps stretch the dollar a little further. The trick is going to be finding the sweet spot where its hardly noticable.
From this principle, I built this shopping list based on incorporating 1kg of carrots and 1kg of onions into a few meals.
Ive got a copy of the shopping list uploaded on my facebook page if you want to download a copy, head on over, i’ll put a link in the comments section.
