😍 Thai Style Chicken Curry

I made this one up a few weeks ago, I just chucked a few ingredients in the wok & was really happy with the results. I've made it a few times since to try & get the recipe spot on... hopefully this works for you all.

Feedback is always, always welcomed. 

Enjoy xxx

 

INGREDIENTS:

5 Chicken Breasts

Olive Oil

Toasted Sesame Oil

Garlic paste/purée

Ginger paste/purée

Fish Sauce

Soy Sauce

Red Chillies - to taste (I use 2)

Chilli Flakes

Season All mix

Thai 7 Spice mix

Garlic Granules 

Curry Powder Hot 

Pepper

Honey

Brown sugar

Coconut Milk

+ whatever vegetables you want, I use: 

Courgette

Peppers

Red Onion

Asparagus 

Mange Tout

Baby Corn

+ Rice of your choice - I use boil in the bag Thai Rice (Sainsburies)

 

RECIPE:

Heat Olive Oil in a wok (a large frying pan works too)

Chucky dice your Chicken

Season chicken with Thai 7 spice - so the upper side is all coated (1/4 of a bottle)

Season with Season All - 2/3 tablespoon

Add Garlic granules - 2 teaspoons

Add Pepper & mix by hand so all Chicken is coated

Add to the wok/pan & start cooking 

After 5 minutes drizzle with Sesame Oil

add Chilli Flakes to taste

1 heaped teaspoon each of Garlic & Ginger Purée

1 tablespoon of Fish Sauce

A very good splash of Soya Sauce

Cook on medium for a further 15-20 minutes so Chicken is thoroughly cooked

•At this point Heat another pan with Oil, add Chilli & Garlic granules & place chunky chipped veg on high - flipping the Veg 3 times only. Perfect result is crunchy.

•Cook your rice

Add another drizzle of Sesame oil to the Chicken & turn on high to crisp for 5-7 minutes

Then add thin slice fresh chilli (saving some for garnish) & any extra seasoning you feel is needed

& a drizzle of Honey & a teaspoon of Brown Sugar. This should give you a paste with the Chicken. 

Once cooked transfer Chicken to a bowl for serving shortly. 

Add Coconut Oil to the used wok/pan, stirring in all of the leftover paste on a low-medium 

Add 1-2 tablespoons of Curry Powder (to taste)

Serve with Rice at the bottom

Crispy Veg on top

Then Chicken & the paste

Finally drizzle with the Curry Sauce 

& garnish with Red Chillies 👌

Enjoy! 😘 xxxx

INGREDIENTS:

•Chilli Con Carne (previous recipe)

•Guacamole (previous recipe)

•Extra Mature Cheese (or any grated cheese)

•Jalapeños 

•Lime

•Salt, Pepper, Paprika & Cayenne Pepper 

RECIPE:

•Cut your sweet potatoes into fries (or use pre cut ones {Sainsburies do them})

•Cook them seasoned with Salt, Pepper, Paprika & Chilli Cayenne Pepper 

Top tip- once cooked transfer them to a pizza tray (with holes) and blast on high to help make them crispy & not soggy!

•When they're cooked load half into a baking dish

•Layer 2/3s of your Chilli on top

•Sprinkle with cheese

•Add another layer of fries 

•Add another cheese layer 😍

•Top with Chilli 

•aaaaand yep- another cheese layer 🐽

•Add Jalapeños to taste

Sausage & Sprout Bake!

This recipe is insane!

Everyone who has tried it so far has loved it! 

It is a taste sensation.

But I would say that- sprouts & sausage are my all times faves! Haha.

It's easy to make & super super healthy (with an added bit of naughty with the sausage)! Enjoy!!

**Read to the bottom for a healthier alternative**

This recipe can be done by dicing things small or chunky, it's completely up to you.

Any type of sausage works- but the most popular is Sweet Chilli Sausages (Tescos finest).

•Par boil your Sprouts (whole) in lightly salted water

•Dice 1 Sweet Potato, 1/2 a White Onion, 5 Mushrooms, 4 large Garlic cloves & 6 Cherry Tomatoes

•Add diced ingredients & drained Sprouts to a baking tray with Olive/Coconut Oil and Salt & Pepper

•Add lots Garlic & Chilli Salt / chilli powder / garlic powder 

•optional Add fresh Chilli

•Add Sausages 

•Bake at 180c for 40 minutes, flip/shaking every 15 minutes

•Chop your sausages into bite size pieces 10 minutes from the end & mix well

•Optional to cut sprouts in half, or enjoy whole

•Top with a perfectly poached Egg (or a non perfect one!) optional- but I must insist you try it once 

Enjoy!!!

If you wanted to be healthier, you can substitute Chicken & Bacon for the Sausage. It doesn't taste quite as juicy in my opinion, but it is still delicious!!
