Tip
Fresh vegetables are fantastic but frozen vegetables are just as good as fresh and keep for longer. Even tinned vegetables have something to offer. Always keep some frozen veg in your freezer – that way you will always have some to hand. Try fresh or frozen broccoli with grilled pork chops or fresh stir-fried veg with pork and noodles. You can buy frozen ready-to-cook stir fried vegetables in most supermarkets – a great kitchen stand-by.
