2 w. ago How to turn mango pit and skin into fruit coulis – recipe | Waste not

Make the most of those mango scraps by turning them into a smooth, fruity sauce to stir into sundowners, drizzle over desserts or spoon on to porridgeSaving food from being wasted can range from just composting food scraps to cooking with the whole ingredient, which means the leaves, stems, skin and everything in between.

3 w. ago How to turn aquafaba into a delectable vegan chocolate mousse – recipe | Waste not

Whip up bean water you might otherwise throw away, fold in some melted chocolate and you have yourself a quick, easy and healthy(ish) two-ingredient mousseI love the simplicity of today’s dish. Just two ingredients – chocolate and aquafaba – come together to create a waste-saving treat. Bean water has a mild savoury taste, but the dominant flavour here is chocolate, which, without the addition of extra fat (usually in the form of cream), becomes incredibly intense, amplifying its sheer chocolatiness.Aquafaba has magical properties that mean it behaves like egg whites when whisked, creating an airy foam that can be used for everything from mayonnaise to mousse. According to Ada McVean in an article asking What is Aquafaba? for McGill University in Montreal, the water-soluble proteins and sugars in the beans leak into the water during cooking, giving it a similar composition to egg whites; it also contain saponins, which help it foam so well.

last month How to turn the dregs of a tahini jar into a brilliant Japanese condiment

Use up those final scrapings to make goma dare, a versatile sesame dipping sauce that adds a kick of flavour to salads and soupsA jar of goma dare is a new favourite fixture in my fridge door. This Japanese-style condiment, dipping sauce and dressing made from ground sesame seeds is powerful in flavour, sweet, sour and creamy all at the same time, while the addition of grated ginger and/or garlic makes it wonderfully piquant, too. It’s also very moreish and hugely versatile, meaning you can serve it with everything from a traditional shabu shabu hot pot to cold noodles, tofu, aubergine and slaw; in fact, it’s so tasty I have to stop myself from eating it straight from the jar. My recipe uses the leftover tahini in the bottom of a jar and comes together in the jar itself, so minimising both waste and washing-up. Simply add all the ingredients, scrape down the sides and shake (you can apply a similar method to the ends of a peanut butter jar, too, for a nutty, satay-style twist). Cont...
