    • 2 celery stalks (£0.50)
    • 500 g carrots (£0.59)
    • 1 red onion (£0.67/3)= (£0.22)

    Method

    • Start by roughly chopping the celery stalks, 3 peeled carrots and the onion. Add to a food processor to blend into a fine dice.
    • Add a tbsp of olive oil into a large saucepan on a medium heat. Pour in the veg mix and gently fry for around 10 minutes.
