“Back when I had to smuggle vegetables into my greens-averse daughter, I concocted ways to secretly pack meals with good stuff. My ragu (p20) contains more veg than meat, but it’s chopped small and cooked down, so no one will ever know. I double the recipe and freeze it for quick midweek dinners. My fridge-raid fried rice is also a sure-fire winner – you can use most veg from the fridge, and it’s quick to make”
