Chickpea Coconut Curry

h4rri3t

Cooking is a love of mine. Who doesn’t love a homecooked meal at the end of the day. I am all for the meal prep and so I wanted to share this recipe with you for a lovely slow cooker ready, coconut curry.

Many of these are odd amounts because I hate food waste and so have been try to use up bits and pieces around the house.

Ingredients

  • 50g Leek
  • 2 Shallots
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 160g Sweet Potato
  • 300g Chopped Tomatoes
  • 200ml Coconut milk
  • 175g Chickpeas (I used dried and soaked them overnight =cheaper)
  • 1/4 cup of Quinoa uncooked.

Spices wise I used, ground coriander, ground cumin, gram masala, cayenne, crushed chills and pepper – but add whatever is in your arsenal.

Nice and easy method to this one – throw is all in the slow cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low. It might not look that appealling but I promise you it is yummy – you don’t even need to serve with anything. It’s just fine on its own.

Things to do with Creme Fraiche

h4rri3t

Foodie Friday! They are going to be something different from now on. I am going to be sharing some of my quarantine cooking adventures. ..So my friend gave me 3/4 of a pot of creme fraiche – reduce the food waste right! Hence why again the amounts are a little off as I was using up things in the fridge.

What can you do with it! Turns out quite a lot. Typically Creme fraiche is put with fish, chicken, desert or even in pasta sauces. I add it to my risottos to give a tanginess but there is so much more see below.

I added some to an egg white salad.

  • 3 hard boiled egg whites
  • 1 tbsp Mayo
  • 1 tbsp Light creme cheese
  • 1 tbsp of creme fraiche
  • 1 romaine lettuce
  • Carrot and celery sticks for alongside.

The majority I made into Salad dressing.

  • 150 ml creme fraiche
  • Bunch of Chives
  • 1/2 lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste.
