Chicken & Squash Curry.

I'm a bit cautious to put up this recipe as I just made it as I went, and added bits as I felt was needed on tasting.

The result was absolutely amazing. It honestly tasted like it was too good to be healthy! It was so satisfying and filling- I will definitely definitely be making this one again!

I served the curry with a big portion of my new favourite Egg Fried Cauliflower Rice and some ghee sautéed Kale. Perfect!



RECIPE:

  • Diced Chicken Breast x 3
  • Diced and peeled Squash
  • Diced white onion ~ large
  • Diced Mushrooms
  • Quartered cherry Tomatoes
  • 3 crushed Garlic cloves
  • Fresh Corriander
  • Coconut Milk
  • Fresh Chillies x 2
  • Curry Powder ~ 2 tablespoons
  • Pataks Tikka paste ~ 1 tablespoon
  • Ghee ~ 1.5 teaspoons

  • Boil Chicken and Squash in water with 1 tablespoon Curry Powder until cooked 
  • Heat Ghee in a large pan
  • Add Onion, Mushroom, Garlic, Chillies, Tomato ~ 3 mins
  • Stir in Tikka Paste ~ 1 min
  • Stir in Coconut Milk & Corriander
  • Drain cooked Chicken & Squash and add to sauce ~ simmer
  • Prepare side dishes
  • Taste your curry and add seasoning as required 
  • At this point I added 1 tablespoon Curry Powder, Salt & Pepper and Chilli flakes
  • Serve & ENJOY!




I hope that recipe makes it turn out as amazingly creamy and spicy as mine was! 


Enjoy!

Garlic Cauliflower Mash.

I love mashed potatoes! Creamy stodgy smooth mash! But unfortunately my body does not like it as much.

This recipe is another super easy one, a great way of satisfying a craving and substituting something we all love with a healthier and more nutritious version. 
This recipe is also great for the fact that you can mix any type if seasoning into it, as well as serving it with a variety of dishes. 
I'm thinking bacon and cabbage mash, and sausage mash and gravy! :)



RECIPE:

  • Cauliflower
  • Garlic Cloves x 2
  • 1 teaspoon of oil 
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt
  • Lots of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of ghee/unclarified butter (normal butter works perfectly but I'm trying to follow paleo rules)
  • Spring Onion

  • Boil cauliflower
  • Mash/blend with crushed Garlic, oil and ghee
  • Stir in Salt, Pepper and thinly sliced Spring Onion
  • Top with more black pepper
  • Serve and Enjoy!!!

Scotch Eggs.

Today I attempted to make scotch eggs- I was trying to remake a lovely scotch egg I had in London last weekend that was served hot with a runny yolk! :) So amazing!

The runny yolk attempts were a fail- but I know what to change for the next attempt- so I will post it up once I have a success!

I made some with hard boiled eggs because that way is so much easier, and they were really tasty!



RECIPE:

  • Hard boiled Eggs
  • Sausages
  • Coconut Flour, Chilli flakes, Pepper, Salt, Mixed Herbs

  • Remove the skin from the sausages and roll into a ball (like dough)
  • Place onto cling film
  • Cover with cling film 
  • Roll out flat using a rolling pin 
  • Season with salt, pepper, chilli & herbs
  • Wrap meat around each egg, being sure to mould edges together
  • Sprinkle with a mix of Coconut Flour, Salt, Pepper, Chilli and Herbs
  • Fry in coconut/olive oil on a medium heat, turning into each part to ensure all sausage is cooked
  • Serve and Enjoy!!!


Tips: 
You can use any type of flour: almond, coconut, regular flour.
Slice Scotch Eggs in half- if the sausage looks too pink place in the oven until cooked.

Enjoy!
