With sky-high prices, it’s not easy to make menus on a tight budget. What can you buy in a supermarket with only five euros?
We already did the test with Mercadona, and Today is Lidl’s turn. The goal: to make an entire family dish with just that money.
With only five euros, forget about making fish or beef, everything has to revolve around legumes, vegetables and, if anything, chicken, which is the protagonist of today’s recipe. But no breasts, if we want to make a complete dish with only five euros better bet on the wings, one of the cheapest meats and, why not say it, one of my favorites.
The purchase
We have used the following ingredients:
- A 479g package of chicken wings: €2.63
- 1 broccoli: €1.39
- 180 g of green pepper: €0.28
- 326 g of potato: €0.55
In addition to the wings, we have been able to buy broccoli, potatoes, green bell pepper. In total, we have spent only €4.85, a budget with which we are going to make a very decent dinner for two or three people. As? Baked.
For some time now, cooking has become popular in the Anglo-Saxon world. roasting tinwhich is nothing other than the baking dishes: the idea is to make combined dishes that are prepared entirely in the container.
This is what we are going to do today with our wings, which we are going to cook in the oven at the same time as the vegetables. This has several advantages: we stain little, we combine nutrients and, in addition, we gain a lot of flavor.
As always, to our purchase of 5 euros, in this case 4.85, we add the kitchen basics, spices and oilwith which we are going to marinate our wings so that they have much more flavor.
Elaboration
In a bowl where all the chicken fits, we are going to mix olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder and a little bit of chili flakes if you like spicy, and we are going to smear the wings well in the mixture, while we cut the rest of the vegetables.
Cooking in the oven: Simple, healthy, tasty and quick recipes (Salamander fun & food)
The pepper, the potato cut into slices and the broccoli are going to be the basis of our source, on which we are going to arrange the wings. And now we just have to put the dish in the oven at 190º for about half an hour.
After this time our vegetables and wings will be perfectly cooked and we just have to enjoy a super complete dinner and, for how the patio is, economical.
