<br />
Breakfast:<br />
<br />
a quick spoonful of last night's wintery soup, contained cabbage, carrot, potato, leek and celery. Not terrible, not fantastic either.<br />
<br />
Lunch:<br />
<br />
Slow-roasted lamb shank with gravy, a carrot and celeriac mash, sauteed tenderstem broccoli and a couple of slices of poppy seed bread.<br />
<br />
Dinner:<br />
<br />
Last of the winter soup, a small piece of French bread.<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
<br />
.The kingly lunch is because I'm doing a placement with Six-Creative. As they don't pay me yet I get free lunch from their downstairs restaurant. Full price for today's lunch was £14!<br />

Heat the olive oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pan and sauté the onions until softened.<br /><br />2. Add the basmati rice and stir to coat the grains and cook until the grains turn translucent.<br /><br />3. Add the white wine and cook for one minute.<br /><br />4. Add the chopped smoked haddock and a ladleful of chicken stock. Cook until the stock has been absorbed and stir constantly. Keep adding the stock gradually until it has all been absorbed and the rice is cooked but still retains a little bite.<br /><br />5. Add the frozen peas and cook for another minute.<br /><br />6. While completing step four, drizzle a little olive oil over the remaining smoked haddock and griddle for 2-3 minutes on both sides.<br /><br />7. To serve, spoon the risotto into a bowl and top with the griddled haddock.<br /><br />Notes:<br /><br />.I didn't have white wine, so I used red (was hanging around from a party).

Season the soup to taste, and then stir in the vinegar and sugar. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Ladle the soup into warmed serving bowls and garnish with a small dollop of soured cream and the reserved grated carrot. Serve immediately. <br /><br />Notes:<br /><br />.I didn't have soured cream or leeks.

However, Tesco's value bread was under 50p, the cheapest Lidl alternative, whilst being far better quality and available in wholemeal which is far healthier, weighed in at 65p.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim0eTeFUMXEl5iDZ3yg3HweHLRIsu0MJD3zgv0BYHHKTTb_PYKRkDOPb8Noyd5U60_U88HudolvRP62E5hl74wdD6y9tUJ3rp185hDaLGLtGcOM9YV9rKWEVfX-YwbTLlSunR3Bugb6ZY/,%20an%20in%20depth%20analysis%20will%20be%20placed%20here%20shortly.h/Tesco+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 436px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim0eTeFUMXEl5iDZ3yg3HweHLRIsu0MJD3zgv0BYHHKTTb_PYKRkDOPb8Noyd5U60_U88HudolvRP62E5hl74wdD6y9tUJ3rp185hDaLGLtGcOM9YV9rKWEVfX-YwbTLlSunR3Bugb6ZY/s400/Tesco+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321997733436431042" border="0" /></a></span></span><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Tesco value peas were also significantly cheaper than the Lidl alternative at 85p for 900g in comparison to £1.26 for 1kg. Tesco is also cheaper than Iceland's £1 for a kilo. If you do the math, Tesco value peas work out at 94p for a kilo.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Lots of reduced stuff was bought, I think it is definitely a good idea to pick a time to shop that will take advatage of them, just after the main commuter rush for supplies. Or even later for a local garage.<br /><br />One of my best finds, however, was a small shop near tesco that was akin to a market stall selling bowls of fruit or vegetables at a pound each.

I was also thrown in a bumch of parsley and a rather ripe pear for my £2.
