Tesco’s Recipe Search Engine
If you have some random ingredients you don’t know what to do with, some wonderful dishes can be made by using Tesco’s brilliant recipe generator tool on their website.
You just type in up to 3 ingredients that you need to use up quick. E.g leftover rice from last night’s dinner, some very ripe tomatoes and cheese reaching its use-by date. It comes up with loads of recipes with those ingredients. Genius!
