Some very simple and tasty food stuff that we have made recently from things you can buy affordably in a Turkish grocers or a TFC:
Rice salad with courgettes and sun dried tomatoes, just make with whatever wild rice or nutty rice you can find. You can chuck other things in like broccoli if you need to use them up.

Charred eggplant and walnut pesto pasta salad - we make this once every couple of weeks bc it is so tasty, but drop the cheese and add a handful of whatever greens we have in the fridge e.g. rocket or spinach. A rec from @Tighe_er! https://smittenkitchen.com/2016/06/charred-eggplant-and-walnut-pesto-pasta-salad/">https://smittenkitchen.com/2016/06/c...
Pulled oyster mushroom tacos - big boxes of oyster mushrooms are cheap in TFCs and you can freestyle how you do these. They just need some chillies, spice, sugar and soy to carmelise. Have them with whatever you have whether tomatoes, cabbage or guacamole https://www.lazycatkitchen.com/vegan-pulled-mushroom-tacos/">https://www.lazycatkitchen.com/vegan-pul...
muhammara dip is so tasty! This needs pomegranate molasses (which we have bc we make a lot of middle eastern food) but you can buy in TFC. It& #39;s great on roast veggies, as a dip, in sandwiches or wraps or salad bowls or however else you would use a sauce https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-muhammara-dip/">https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-muha...
Chilli and lime roasted squash/pumpkin. Can& #39;t find a recipe but simply roast a big batch of squash/pumpkin pieces in chill flakes, s&p, spices, lime juice + olive oil. Have in salads, wraps, or chuck in tin of white beans or grains, or whatever you have. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/nov/09/turkish-squash-mushroom-bruschetta-recipes">https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandst...
Roasted broccoli and white beans with lemon and Parmesan.
I love roasted broccoli and roasted white beans, and make this with Violife vegan Parmesan and will add whatever else we have in the fridge that roasts well eg tofu or cherry tomatoes. http://www.shutterbean.com/2019/roasted-broccoli-and-white-beans/">https://www.shutterbean.com/2019/roas...
Chickpea and Kale Shakshuka, (we veganise it by dropping the eggs and subbing tofu for the feta), you can sub other fresh greens or frozen spinach for kale and use any bean. We add smoked paprika and chilli flakes. Good any time of day and for leftovers. http://smittenkitchen.com/2019/10/chickpea-and-kale-shakshuka/">https://smittenkitchen.com/2019/10/c...
Gado Gado, can take a lot of adapting based on what you have eg swapping potatoes for celeriac, adding some protein, swapping green beans for asparagus or broccoli.
