Qunioa and Fish in Tomato and Garlic Sauce

Boil then simmer the quinoa. Sometimes I use buckwheat, amaranth or pasta instead.

Sorte some mushrooms, onions and garlic in extra virgin olive oil on a low heat. Add fresh chopped tomatos, and tinned tomoatos, season.

Add a tin of fish to the quinoa, or something else you like, such as boiled eggs.

Add the sauce.

A big pan of nutritious food; several meals. Pretty easy to do on very tired days. My son loves it.

This is a very old and healthy one pot dish but with a new twist that improves the flavour wonderfully.

Three heaped desert spoons of mixed medium and pinhead oatmeal

Half a litre of water

Half a level teaspoon of fine pink Himalayan salt 

Add the salt to the water and bring to the boil. When boiling briskly sprinkle the oatmeal into the water stirring with a wooden spoon. This prevents lumps forming. Bring back to a brisk boil and then turn off the heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the meal sinking into a lump. After 10 minutes serve and eat. If you like your porridge thick and slabby leave it for another five minutes.

Feeds one or two.

(Chowder is fish soup but some people might not know that)

Wee story behind this one. When I lived in Peterhead the lad of the family used to take me to visit an old fisherman, and he made the most tasty fish soup. 

I can't make it the way he did because I don't know how he made it, but my good memory's of it are so strong I looked up fish soup recipes some time ago. They're mostly complicated with ingredients I can't eat so here's my tweaked version:

Haddock or cod in the oven 20 mins while steaming or boiling cubed potato, and celery

Sorte mushrooms, onion, spring onions, garlic in a large pan

then add a tablespoon of flour (no guten for me), make sure plenty of extra virgin olive oil,

Keep stirring, then add coconut milk, or milk, keep stirring add some more but not too much. You're making a white sauce without a separate pan.

Meanwhile your kettle has been boiled, In a blender put a fish stock cube (you can get gluten free), and spinach

Pour the blended stock in, add the fish.

This has all been done in one pan, while the steamer and oven cooked the fish and potato and the blender did the stock and spinach.

Add cream, I add coconut cream, if you want it thicker.

Perhaps not as simple as some things but so nutrtious I have more energy to deal with the next food I have to eat and it lasts me 2 or 3 days.

This is something my wife and I, and even the kids like - but a bit unhealthy. lol

Not sure if George can buy square sausage meat in the USA.

What we have is 2 slices of White Bread with butter spread on one side of each one.

Fry two slices of square sausage meat.

Fry one egg, until well done and not runny.

Place one piece of sausage square on a slice of bread and place the egg on top, then the other sausage slice on top.

Then eat, guaranteed to fill you up!  You can put Tomato Sauce on the Egg, some people do. Some people prefer the egg yolk runny.

Either way it makes a nice snack you won't see it on the hospital menu!

Guaranteed!
