I love frozen food as it's so convenient, easy to use & also the vitamin content is often higher than fresh vegetables as it is frozen straight away after being harvested & not left on the shelves for days.
One of my favourite quick recipes using frozen vegetables is stir frying a mix of fresh & frozen veg & mixing with rice.
Prepare some rice while you make the stir fry - I cheat & use a rice maker!
Heat up some oil in a pan - I use olive or coconut oil
Fry a diced red & white onion (sometimes I use frozen)
Add a leek sliced into rings.
When browned as a diced red & yellow peppers
Add frozen peas & frozen sweetcorn - these usually gradually warm up to temperature
If I want more vegetables then I microwave some frozen cauliflower & broccoli to unthaw before putting into the stir fry.
Sometimes I put frozen diced carrot in at the same time as the peas & sweetcorn, other times I grate fresh carrot & add.
Stir fry until all piping hot & cooked, then mix this into the rice.
You can change the recipe with spices to suit what you serve it with.
Serve with your meal (Chicken, vegetarian alternative etc.) & you know you have got your 5 a day of vegetables & even the kids are happy to eat it!
