Chorizo Chicken for two

February 5th, 2010

A simple meal for two that can be something special or even a mid week meal – it is quick and oh so tasty!

Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes , peeled and cut into wedges
1 tsp olive oil
½ tsp dried chilli flakes
A few thin slices of chorizo
2 skinless chicken breasts
A few thyme sprigs, leaves stripped, half tsp dried thyme

How to:
Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking tray, then toss with the oil, chilli flakes and seasoning. Roast for 10 minutes, then remove and reduce the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.

Lay half the chorizo slices over each chicken breast, overlapping so the chicken is covered, then tuck the edges underneath to secure. Lift onto the baking tray next to the wedges, scatter the wedges with thyme leaves, then roast for 20 minutes more, turning the chicken and wedges halfway until golden.

Leftover Turkey Korma

December 24th, 2009

Looking for ways to use up all that leftover turkey but nobody wants another cold meat buffet? Then why not try something completely different that is nutritious, cost saving and low fat but very very tasty. Here is a fantastic solution to all that leftover turkey; Turkey Korma.

Ingredients:TurkeyKorma_n_lg

200 g skinless boneless turkey breast, cut into strips
clove garlic, chopped roughly
1 small onion(s), chopped
2 tablespoon skimmed milk
2 teaspoon polyunsaturated margarine
1 teaspoon curry powder, or korma powder
1 tablespoon almonds, ground
50 g half-fat creme fraiche
1 pinch salt, sea salt, season to taste
1 teaspoon pepper
5 teaspoon fresh coriander

How to:
Put the garlic, onion and milk in a food processor or liquidiser and process to make a paste. This is not essential but it does give the traditional texture of a korma. If you prefer, you can just chop the garlic and onion very finely.

Melt the margarine in a non-stick pan and gently sauté the turkey until just firm. Remove and set aside. Add the onion paste to the pan and cook gently for 2 minutes until softened.

Return the turkey to the pan and sprinkle in the korma spice powder and almonds. Season and cook for another 3 minutes. Stir in the crème fraîche and return to a simmer. Check the seasoning and serve, sprinkled with coriander sprigs.
