Whilst I love trying out lots of different meal ideas using different herbs and spices, there are times when good old fashioned "plain" food really hits the mark and yesterday's evening meal was one of those - fresh salmon fillets (currently half price at Morrisons), boiled new potatoes, peas, carrots, "fried" leeks with a bit of leftover cabbage and roasted bns. No herbs or spices added, just salt & pepper and it was absolutely gawjuss!!

It's really delicious! It's spicy but won't blow your head off. It's also got a great flavour that I can't really describe, kind of saffrony? Lol!

425g/½ butternut squash

600g chicken, pre-cooked, chopped into cubes
750mL chicken stock
400g Chopped Tomatoes

(This can be made in advance.)
Chop up the butternut squash into small cubes; leave the skin on, extra fibre!

Add butternut squash, madras curry powder and chicken stock, cook for 40 mins, remove from the heat and liquidize with a hand blender.

Continue.

Place back on heat and add cumin, turmeric and coriander, cook for 1 min, add tomato and chicken cook until chicken has been cooked through. Add garam masala 5 min before serving.
Serve on a bed of rice with a side salad.

Pete, just popping onto to say a huge thank you. I have just made this and its by far the nicest curry I have ever made. Thank you so so much :hug99: I cheated and just dry fried the chicken then shoved the whole lot on simmer, mushing the chunks of squash once they were cooked. It was seriously delicous

Yes of course, it's one of 'the missus ' recipes on a thread on here . It's really nice and highly recommended.

I made it in a slow cooker.

Serves 4

Ingredients

175ml carton of pasatta
10 tbsp sweetener (I used canderel)
7-8 tablespoons of malt vinegar
1 red pepper - sliced thinly
1 orange pepper - sliced thinly
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1 large onion - chopped or sliced
3/4 pint veg stock made with 2 veg oxos
1/3 of a fresh pineapple
bag quorn chicken style pieces

Method

Into your slow cooker place the pasatta, vinegar, sweetener, garlic granules and stock. Stir to mix thoroughly.

Add in sliced red and orange peppers and onion.

You can add the pineapple at this stage but will have to syn it and I don't know how many syns it would be...but what I did was just add it at the end on top of my sauce and mix it in, so it's not cooked but warmed by the sauce and should be syn free.

Cook on low for about 3 hours then turn up to high for an hour or two.

After 4-5 hours add in your Quorn pieces. Can add them in frozen and cook on high for another hour or two.

Serve with rice and soy sauce.

I haven't! Lol! I think because it's quite small it won't be enough for DH and I so I'm a bit stuck thinking of what other veg to go with it... I don't really want to have it with a bolognaise sauce so I was thinking maybe a spicy seafood one but again, need more veg ideas to pair it with! Any suggestions?

I'm making your pancakes for breakfast tomorrow!

It will work in any dish really as a replacement for pasta.

I had the leftovers the next day with a bit of cheese melted on top and is was lovely. So the one I bought this week, is going to be baked in the oven with some parmesan and mozzarella on top and maybe some bacon, for a meal just on it's own.
