Ingredients1 unit(s) Echalion Shallot 1 unit(s) Garlic Clove 1 unit(s) Courgette 1 bunch(es) Flat Leaf Parsley 280 grams Diced Chicken Breast 300 milliliter(s) Water for the Rice 150 grams Basmati Rice 1 pot(s) Zanzibar Curry Spice Mix 200 milliliter(s) Coconut Milk 1 sachet Chicken Stock Powder ½ unit(s) Lime |
Directions1. Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).Trim the courgette then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces.Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). 2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown all over, 5-6 mins. Turn occasionally. Tip: Do this in batches if necessary - you don't want to stew the chicken! Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 mins. 3. Pour the water for the rice (see ingredients for amount) into a saucepan and bring to the boil. When boiling, add 0.25 tsp of salt, stir in the rice, lower the heat to medium and pop a lid on the pan. Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam). 4. Add the garlic, half of the parsley and the Zanzibar curry powder to the chicken. Cook for one minute. Add the coconut milk and chicken stock powder. Bring to the boil, stir and lower the heat so the curry simmers gently. Cook for 10 mins. Add the courgette, then simmer until the sauce has thickened and the courgette is tender, 5-7. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. TIP: Add a splash of water if the curry looks a bit dry. 5. While the curry is cooking, zest and halve the lime. When the rice is ready, fluff it up with a fork. Stir in the lime zest and a small squeeze of lime juice (save some for the curry!). 6. When the curry is cooked, taste and add salt and pepper if required. Stir in the remaining parsley and a squeeze of lime juice. Spoon the rice into bowls, top with the fragrant chicken curry and enjoy! |

Indian Buttered Chicken with Yogurt Flatbread

Ingredients2 chicken breasts or thighs or meat or seafood or tofu 6 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons Garam Masala 1 red onion 1 cup flour 3/4 cup yogurt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup tomato sauce whatever you have leftover 1/2 cup whole fat coconut milk not light 10 sprigs cilantro stems & leaves salt staples pepper staples olive oil staples lime |
Directions1. Place both a large pan and a medium grill pan over medium heat. 2. Add your butter to the large pan to melt. On a plastic cutting board, cut the chicken breasts first into strips, then into chunks. 3. Season your chicken with garam masala, salt, and pepper. Next, grab your red onion and dice it up. Your butter should be melted by now, pour off about 2 tablespoons into a small bowl and reserve for later. Return the pan to the stove. Add the seasoned chicken chunks to your pan with the butter. Add about 3/4s of your diced onion to the chicken. 4. In a large bowl, add flour, yogurt, baking powder, a large pinch of salt, reserved melted butter, and about half of what’s left of your red onion (we’re saving the last little bit for garnish). Mix well with your hands to form a dough. If it’s too dry add more yogurt, if it’s too wet add more flour. Set aside for just a moment. 5. Head back over to your chicken. To the pan, add tomato sauce and coconut milk, and let simmer. 6. Flop your dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 3 balls, then roll each ball out to about ½” thick. Rub each flatbread with a bit of olive oil and a sprinkling of salt. Place the flatbreads, seasoned side down, into the grill pan (you might have to do each one separately depending on pan size). Rub a bit of oil onto the top side as well. After about two minutes, flip your flatbread to the other side, you should see some light grill marks. Grill on this side for another minute or two and remove from the pan. 7. Taste your butter chicken sauce, add a bit of salt if needed. Grab your bunch of cilantro and tear off the stems (because we use every part, of course!). Slice the stems very fine and add to the chicken. Reserve the leaves for garnish. 8. Grab a plate and lay down a piece of flatbread. Spoon chicken on top and ladle sauce over it all. Top with remaining red onion, torn cilantro leaves, and lime(optional). 9. Hot Tip: If you don’t have a rolling pin, use a wine bottle. |

Let the asparagus steam and simmer for about 2 minutes, or just until it turns bright green and has become slightly tender (test with a fork). Drain the asparagus and return it to the skillet. 4. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet with the asparagus and place it over medium heat. Sauté the partially cooked asparagus in the butter and garlic for about two minutes more, or until the garlic becomes soft and fragrant. Turn off the heat. 5. Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the sautéed asparagus. Toss the pasta in the skillet until it is combined with the asparagus and coated with garlic butter. Top with a generous pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper. 6. Use a zester or small-holed cheese grater to zest the lemon onto the pasta. Once zested, slice the lemon in half and squeeze the fresh juice over the pasta. Toss the pasta until everything is well combined, adding a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water if it becomes dry. Taste the pasta and adjust the salt, pepper, or lemon if desired.

Trim the spring onion and thinly slice. Trim the green beans then chop into thirds. 3. Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan on high heat. Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until tender, about 5-6 mins. When cooked, transfer to a plate. 4. Keep the pan on high heat and add another splash of oil if the pan is dry. Add the pork mince and stir-fry until browned, 6-8 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. When the pork is cooked, drain off any excess oil, add the shallot, garlic, spring onion and as much chilli as you dare. Cook until the veggies are softened, another 2-3 mins. 5. Return the green beans to the pan. Add the ketjap manis and soy sauce and stir everything together. Tip: If the mixture is a little dry, add a splash of water. 6. Remove the pan from the heat. Fluff up the rice with a fork and share between your bowls. Top with the pork stir-fry and get stuck in. Super tasty! Or, as they say in Thailand, Aloy mak! |

Ingredients1 unit(s) Echalion Shallot 1 unit(s) Carrot 1 unit(s) Courgette 1 unit(s) Spring Onion ½ unit(s) Lime 300 milliliter(s) Water for the Rice 150 grams Jasmine Rice 240 grams Beef Mince 1 pot(s) Thai Style Spice Blend 8 grams Plain Flour 1 sachet Yellow Curry Paste 200 milliliter(s) Coconut Milk 150 milliliter(s) Water for Curry 1 pot(s) Chicken Stock Powder |
Directions1. Halve peel and thinly slice the shallot. Remove the ends from the carrot (no need to peel), thinly slice into rounds. Remove the ends from the courgette, halve lengthways, chop into 2cm wide strips. Chop into 2cm chunks. Trim the spring onion, thinly slice. Zest and halve the lime. Heat a frying pan on high heat (no oil). Add the courgette, dry fry until nicely charred, 6-8 mins total. Turn every 2 mins. Remove to a bowl once charred. 2. Meanwhile, pour the water for the rice (see ingredients for amount) into a saucepan and bring to the boil. When boiling, add 0.25 tsp of salt, stir in the jasmine rice, lower the heat to medium and pop a lid on the pan. Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam). 3. While the rice cooks, pop the beef mince into a bowl and add the Thai spice (add less if you don't like spice), flour, lime zest and season with salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until well combined, shape into 5 evenly sized meatballs per person, pop them on a plate. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw meat. 4. Once the courgette is removed, pop your frying pan back on medium high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the meatballs, fry until browned on the outside, 5-6 mins. Turn every 2 mins. Remove to a plate (we'll finish cooking them later). Pop your pan back on medium high heat with a drizzle of oil if the pan is dry. Add the carrot and shallot to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Fry, stirring frequently until the veg is soft, 5-6 mins. 5. Add the yellow curry paste to the carrot and shallot, stir very well, cook for 1 minute, then add in the meatballs and pour in the coconut milk and water (see ingredient list for amount). Add the chicken stock powder and season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, simmer until the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are cooked, 9-12 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle. 6. Once the curry is cooked, stir in the charred courgette and cook for 1 minute. TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it. Remove the pan from the heat, squeeze in half the lime juice, then taste and add more lime juice, salt and pepper if you feel it needs it. Fluff up the rice and spoon into bowls. Top with the curry, sprinkle over the spring onion and enjoy! |
