With the country also in the third wave of Covid-19 infections, long queues and busy shops can be quite daunting for many. Laager Rooibos called on its partners &#8211; specialist dietitian, Mbali Mapholi and chefs, Lebo and Tebo Ndala \u2013 to help with tips on making food last.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring these unprecedented times, we must go back to basics,\u201d said Mapholi. \u201cMy biggest advice is to not panic buy so that everyone is still able to get basic food items. A lot of people fear using canned food items, legumes, frozen and bottled food items, but these are key sources of nutrition particularly when fresh food is scarce! Below are some practical tips and recipes that will make these items go further.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Meat dishes <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can add canned legumes to meat dishes to bulk them up, while also adding wholegrains and dietary fibre to your diet. Most people are eating more meat than we need anyway, so this is an opportunity to get used to smaller or fewer meat portions. Not only does expanding these dishes this way help with food saving, but it also helps us eat more wholegrains and add more dietary fibre in our diet.<\/p>\n<p>Some examples from Mbali include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adding lentils or canned beans to ground beef or mincemeat (bolognaise sauce) &#8211; one can of lentils for every 500g ground beef.<\/li>\n<li>Adding canned beans or chickpeas to chicken curry. If everyone in the household usually ate two pieces of chicken then decrease to one piece of chicken mixed with chickpeas and beans.<\/li>\n<li>Expand canned pilchards with canned baked beans. For a family of six, cook one can of pilchards and add one can of baked beans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>*Meat tips from Lebo and Tebo<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Portion the meat before you freeze it so you only use the portion you want.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid de-frosting and freezing again.<\/li>\n<li>Be careful of portion control, avoid cooking more than you need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Frozen vegetables <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Frozen vegetables can be more nutritious than fresh vegetables because they are frozen straight from harvest, which saves a lot of nutrients normally lost in the food supply chain of fresh vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>Add frozen vegetables to expand all the food meat dishes mentioned above.<\/li>\n<li>Frozen vegetables can be added to casseroles and stews to stretch these while adding nutrients.<\/li>\n<li>According to nutritional guidelines, it is recommended that \u00bd our plate at main meals is vegetables. You can use frozen vegetables as a side dish.<\/li>\n<li>It is important to steam, saut\u00e9 or cook them in little water to preserve the nutrients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tubers <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Potatoes, sweet potatoes and taro (amadumbe) are some popular nutritious tubers in South Africa, and these can expand meat or vegetable casseroles or stews, or be eaten as a staple in main mails. Butternut is also a starchy vegetable that can be mixed in with potatoes or sweet potatoes to expand mashed potatoes for example.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17525\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00007-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00007-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00007-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00007-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00007-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00007.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recipe: Minestrone soup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a hearty, easy minestrone soup recipe which you can make ahead of time and freeze.

Tea is usually served hot but those who dislike hot beverages can make delicious homemade ice-teas. To make homemade iced teas you can use any tea you have in the home, whether it is Laager Rooibos tea or Tetley Green Tea or Tetley Black Tea, and add any fresh or frozen fruit that you have available. One example is to simply brew Laager Rooibos tea, cool and add ice cubes and any fruit that might spoil such as apple and strawberries. Then add sugar or honey to taste. This is a refreshing and healthy beverage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bread\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bread is a daily staple in most households, served at breakfast or lunch with non-perishable healthy protein sources such as peanut butter, canned fish with mayonnaise or jam. If you have some bread bought in bulk you can freeze it so it lasts longer. You can also use stale bread to make French toast \u2013 simply dredge slices of bread in eggs mixed with a bit of milk and fry in a bit of oil.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17523\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00001-267x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00001-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00001-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00001-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00001-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00001-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00001-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00001-1068x1602.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00001-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00001-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2021\/07\/image00001-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recipe: With Love from Twins bread dough recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can make as much bread dough as you please and leave it in the fridge.
