‘PREP AHEAD’ POSSIBILITIES
Here are suggestions for things you can possibly prepare ahead. They’re just suggestions though so please don’t feel like you need to devote your weekend to getting these steps done! It’s totally up to you.
[1] Chickpea Buddha Bowls
BOWLS (15 minutes)
Cook greens and chickpeas as per recipe. Make the tahini sauce but keep it separate. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze. To serve warm chickpeas and greens in a pan with a little oil. Top with tahini sauce. If the sauce has thickened on storing add a little water.
INGREDIENT STORAGE Best Practices
Also see the WASTE AVOIDANCE STRATEGY with each recipe for tips on preserving ingredients for longer periods if required.
VEGGIES
kale, collard greens or spinach – in the fridge wrapped in a plastic bag.
lemons / limes – in the fridge wrapped in a plastic bag. Can be kept at room temp if you prefer but will last longer in the fridge.
avocado – store at room temperature to avoid browning. Once cut, cover the surface with cling wrap and store in the fridge. Keeping the stone in the cut avocado helps.
baby spinach / rocket / salad leaves – store sealed bag in the fridge. If buying loose leaves, wash and spin dry in a salad spinner then wrap loosely in paper towel and place inside plastic bag. Push out most of the air and seal. Store in the fridge.
rosemary – in the fridge wrapped in a plastic bag.
PROTEIN
minced (ground) pork, chicken or beef – in the fridge in the packaging it was purchased in.
eggs – I keep mine in the pantry because we eat a lot of eggs. Will last much longer in the fridge.
steaks – in the fridge in the packaging they were purchased in.
salmon – in the fridge in the packaging it was purchased in. I get the fishmonger to wrap up a bag of ice to keep as cold as possible.
DAIRY
sour cream – in the fridge in the packaging it was purchased in.
ricotta – in the fridge in the packaging it was purchased in.
