Food prep Monday began with making chicken stock from our leftover Sunday Roast... Head to the BBC Good Food Website to get the Recipe:
And from there went on to make a Chicken and Quinoa curry and some soup.
Starting with my curry - I got my inspiration from the delicious recipe from 'A pinch of Yum' http://pinchofyum.com/healthy-quinoa-chicken-curry-bowls#easyrecipe-20623-0 but have made a few alterations due to my fussy child (aka my husband)!
Ingredients (serves 2/3)
Splash of Olive Oil
1/2 an onion
1 Garlic Clove (Texas style - maybe 2 in the UK)
1 teaspoon of finely chopped Ginger
2 teaspoons of Curry Paste ( I use Pataks)
2 cups of Chicken Stock
1 tin of chopped Tomatoes
1/2 a courgette
2 breasts of cooked shredded chicken ( mine was left over from our roast)
1 cup of uncooked Quinoa
Greek yogurt (optional)
Spring Onions (optional)
Naan/ Wholemeal Pitta
Method
Heat Olive oil in pan over a medium heat and add onion and sweat till onions are soft.
Add ginger, curry paste and garlic and cook for 2-3 mins.
Add the remainder of the Ingredients (Tomatoes, shredded chicken, chicken broth, Quinoa and the courgette) to the pan and reduce the temperature so it is simmering for 15-25 mins.
Once you have a stew like consistency - Serve in bowls and add a dollop of yogurt and some spring onions with a side of naan, or wholemeal pitta if you fancy!
