I've just chucked the remaining 2/3 of the goulash. I had intended to use it as the base for something else, but the over-cooked beans have all disintegrated and it's just too grim. It's food waste collection day tomorrow, so out it went.
Perhaps I should have added salt to the leftovers to stop the beans soaking up any more moisture. Or maybe I could have picked most of the beans out - they'd have absorbed most of the burnt taste, so I would probably have been left with a fairly decent tomato sauce to re-use. But I did neither of those things, so it was all wasted.
Total cost of this recipe (excluding energy):
87p for Mutti Polpa tomatoes, as part of a 6-pack
95p for Ocado organic kidney beans
50p for M&S baked beans
55p for 15g out of a 70g tin of La Chinata dulce paprika
17p for a small Ocado organic brown onion
5p estimated for a fat garlic clove (what does she do with the thin ones?) and the cooking oil
99p for Deliveroo delivery fee
99p for Deliveroo service fee
£2.69 for Deliveroo rider tip
£15.95 for 4 Boneless Chicken Thighs (Hot) + 2x Regular Spicy Rice sides from Nandos
Total cost: £23.71
I'm planning on doing another Slopalong this weekend coming, so will add up the combined cost and make a matching donation to a non-Jack-enabling foodbank at the end of it all.
