"I thought I’d share one of my favourite quick lunch/dinners - an everything in the fridge roast veg with peanut sauce and crispy tofu. Super delicious! So you just roast a tray full of veg - in this case, cauliflower, asparagus, aubergine, mushrooms and spring onion but soft and a bit crispy. Make some crispy tofu and dollop some peanut sauce! Some extra crushed peanuts and coriander and there you go! Yum!"
