GREAT TASTE, LESS MEAT
Replacing meat with pulses like beans and lentils is a brilliant way to reduce costs – and you needn’t lose the meat altogether. Just swap out half the meat in a stew or curry and replace with Just Essentials by Asda chickpeas for a budgetfriendly meal.
Missing a herb from a recipe? Swap it! Soft-stalked herbs like basil, parsley and coriander can be used interchangeably, as can woody ones like rosemary and thyme. Or, use 1tsp dried herbs for 1tbsp fresh. 46 | ASDA MAGAZINE | OCTOBER 2022
