Chicken Dupiaza with Pilau Rice

Britmum your meals look so delicious!! I'm totally stealing your prawn, asparagus and egg salad!

 

[BritMumInCanada]

the asparagus and prawn salad was lovely. I don't normally like salad unless it has a heaped spoon of mayo on top lol. But this with the eggs and lemon juice etc, really didnt need it.

Nigella's White Minestrone Soup

This is perfect for winter! A little bit of effort for the chopping of veg but worth it.



Serves: approx 6
2 HEX A for whole recipe

(I usually halve the recipe and it still makes a big pot)

• 3 large onions, thinly sliced
• 5 carrots, diced
• 2 sticks celery, chopped fairly small
• 300g potatoes, peeled and diced
• 3 courgettes, diced
• 100g French beans, cut into 1cm lengths
• 225g Savoy cabbage, shredded
• 1½ litres stock made with vegetable or chicken stock
• rind of a finished piece of parmesan cheese (tip - I always save mine from the wedge and freeze them for this recipe!) (optional)
• 400g tin cannellini beans
• 150g small tubular pasta, such as ditalini
• 56g parmesan, grated freshly

Get a big pot and spray with Frylight. Add sliced onion and cook until the onion is softened but not browned. Add the chopped carrot and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring a couple of times. Do the same with the celery, potatoes, courgettes and French beans, cooking each one for a few minutes, stirring a few times. Then add the shredded cabbage and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring now and then.

Add the stock. Put in the end bit of cheese if you’ve got one, give a good stir and taste to see if any salt is needed. (The cheese rind will give a small saline kick of its own, and remember if you’re using stock cubes that they can be very salty.)

Cover the pan, and cook at a gentle boil for 2-2½ hours (if halving the recipe you will probably only need about 45mins-1hr), stirring occasionally. The soup should be thick, so you have to cook it for long enough to lose any wateriness, but it has to have enough liquid in it at this stage for the pasta to absorb while it’s cooking. If the soup is too thick when you’ve finished cooking it but before you put in the pasta then add some water.

Now remove the lid, add the white beans and cook for 5 minutes, then turn up the heat slightly and put the pasta in. It should cook in about 15 minutes. When it’s ready, take out the parmesan rind, grate in the fresh parmesan and give the pan a good stir.

I like this sprinkled with a few dried crushed chillies.

Great recipe StaceyUK! I'll definitely be trying that!

Here's what I had today;

Lunch was SW chips, egg and cheesy coleslaw

Dinner was bean & plantain curry with boiled rice. Felt a bit guilty about the absence of added veggies but there was tons of red peppers, carrots, tomatoes etc in the curry itself

 

[BritMumInCanada]

ooooh some lovely foods. Your coleslaw looks lovely Honeyoc. Might have to make some.

have a Bo Luo Pork Recipe Kit from Wanchai Ferry, which is sweet pineapple in a fruity tangy cantonese sauce. u add pork, a pepper, a carrot and an onion to the kit.

Couldnt find it on the syns online, so entered the details on the calculator, and it says it is FREE on green and extra easy! cant believe it! So on ee is completely free, and on green u could add HE of meat or loads of veg to make it free. Was delish. U have to add some veg oil, but i used much less than they suggested by mixing with a bit of water.
