Picture
This is not one of my own recipes but It's one I know you will enjoy!
These are a healthy high protein, low-sugar, low-carb option.
This recipe also works well with king prawns and Quorn for my veggie friends!

What you need: (serves 4)
  • 454 grams skinless boneless chicken breasts (cubed)
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons agave (or Honey)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (Olive Oil is fine too)
  • 4 garlic cloves (Minced)
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons fresh coriander (Chopped)
  • red pepper flakes or chilli flakes (To Taste)
  • 2 limes (Small)
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 onion (Small)

How to do it:
  1. Place your cubed chicken breast in a large bowl, set aside
  2. In a small bowl, combine all your ingredients – except for the limes, peppers, onion
  3. Pour marinade over cubed chicken breasts
  4. Squeeze 2 limes over the chicken cubes
  5. Cover, put in the fridge, and marinate for at least 30 minutes
  6. Slice the red pepper and onion
  7. Place chicken cubes on skewer, alternating with slices of bell pepper and onion
  8. Grill on medium high heat for 6 to 8 minutes per side, until cooked thorough

This goes nicely with some healthy grains (quinoa, wild rice etc.) and a salad.

Enjoy...Nick

Spinach linguine with samphire & king prawn

9/5/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
This is so tasty and it only took about 6 minutes!
I haven't cooked very much with samphire but I will definitely be using it more regularly.
Not only does it add a nice hit of natural salt to a dish, it complements sea food really well (it's a sea vegetable found in costal areas).

The sweet tomatoes and juicy prawns balance the dish nicely and a kick of chilli, black pepper and extra virgin olive oil bring it all together.

Here are some quick nutrition facts about samphire...
  • Low in fat
  • Packed with essential minerals; magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium.
  • Contains vitamins A, B and C
  • High in fibre
  • Contains anti-oxidants (anti-inflammatory benefits)
  • Can help aid digestion
  • Boosts immune system
Samphire is both delicious and nutritious! Don't forget this dish also has garlic, chilli, tomatoes and olive oil which all add their own nutrition value.

What you need (2 large portions)
  • 300g fresh spinach Linguine
  • 160g King prawns
  • 100g Samphire (approx)
  • 300g cherry tomatoes (aprox)
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 fresh red chilli
  • 2-3 table spoons of extra virgin olive oil
​
How to do it:
  • Get a pan on and cook the linguine as per the instructions (about 3-4 mins)
  • ​Heat a little oil in a pan, add the samphire and garlic
  • Cook for about 2-3 minutes then add the cherry tomatoes and prawns and cook for further 3 minutes until prawns are cooked
  • Add the cooked linguine to the pan and toss through with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, chuck in the fresh chopped chilli, a good crack of black pepper and serve...enjoy!

[Great British Sausages with orzo pasta, tomatoes & olives. ]

11/17/2017

'Locally produced British sausages packed full of flavour'

Picture
I recently picked up some sausages from 'Harpenden Farmers Market'.

They are produced by a company called 'Great British Sausage Co.' and these particular one's are called 'Waterloo Sausages'.

Let me tell you that these little beauties were superb!

They are locally produced 'Red Tractor Farm' assured and made with the highest quality 'East Anglian' pork.  They contain 95% pork and have a natural pork casing. I always advocate minimally processed, locally produced food that has taken as little time as possible to get to your plate. 

I am a massive fan of these sausages and it's got me thinking of so many ways to use them; casseroles, breakfast, barbecue, stuffing and so on...
The flavour is quite something and you can tell the quality as soon as you get them out of the packet.  

I came up with this simple tasty pasta dish to celebrate these delightful sausages, using fresh tomato, black olives  and basil to give it a real mediterranean flavour!

What You Need:
(serves 4)
- 1 Pack of Great British Sausage Co. 'Waterloo' sausages
- 150g of orzo pasta
- 2 Cupped handfuls of pitted black olives (halved)
- 2 large handfuls of cherry tomatoes (halved)
- Handful of fresh basil leaves
- Table spoon of crushed chilli flakes
- 2 Table spoons of extra virgin olive oil

How To Do It:
- Cook the orzo past until it's 'al dente', drain and put to one side
- Fry sausages in a pan little at a medium/high heat with olive oil until browned
- Slice sausages into 5 or 6 pieces and put back into pan to finish
- Turn heat down and put in the tomatoes and cook as the sausages finish
- Put the black olives in and fresh basil at the end
- Put the orzo into that pan with a little olive oil, toss together until the pasta has warmed through
- Add some crushed chilli flakes for a nice kick and a grating of fresh parmesan

Enjoy!

​you can pick up these sausages at St Albans and Harpenden farmers markets, more info can be found on their website https://www.britishsausages.co.uk/farmers-markets/

Sweet potato, bacon, onion, broccoli & feta...

9/4/2017

0 Comments

 
This makes a great lunch or dinner...
You have a good mix of 'smart' carbs, protein, fats and veggies. There's nothing like a good kick of chilli to rev-up the metabolism! (as always...it's optional 😗 ) 👇 WATCH SHORT CLIP BELOW 👇​
​What you need.
(For 2 people)
✔️ 2 medium/large sweet potatoes
✔️ 6 pieces of smoked streaky bacon (trim the fat if you like)
✔️ 1 large onion
✔️ 2 cupped hands of feta cheese
✔️ 1 pack of tender stem broccoli (220g)
✔️ Rape seed oil (I used Lemon infused)
✔️ Crushed chilli flakes

How to do it.
➖ Preheat oven to 200c
➖ Get a pan of boiling water going
➖ Pearce sweet potatoes several times and microwave for 2-3 mins on each side
➖ Put potatoes in oven for approx 10-15 minutes to finish
➖ Chop onion and bacon finely and sauté in a pan until onions are soft and bacon starts to get a little crispy (the fat from the bacon should be enough, otherwise a drop of healthy oil)
➖  Boil the broccoli to your liking (I have to have mine 'al dente')
➖ To serve, slice the potato in two, put the bacon and onion on top, crumble your feta, drizzle your oil then add your crushed chilli to finish

Enjoy! ​🙌

My Top 3 Breakfasts

5/20/2017

Recipes.

Greek yogurt
Top your yogurt with at least one fruit and add some healthy fats like coconut, mixed seeds or crushed nuts. One of my faves is pineapple, grated coconut and goji berries. 
​

Eggs & Avocado
This is best kept simple. Top 2 slices of whole-grain toast with 2 two eggs (however you like them) and smashed avocado. Season to taste. I like a squeeze of fresh lime juice and some chilli flakes on mine!

Quinoa salad
Cook your quinoa and add whatever mixed fruits and berries you like. Then dress it with some honey, lime and fresh basil.  Mint also works well instead of basil.
