NeilsHealthyMeals Recipe type. Cirio sent me some free samples of their amazing pizzassimo pizza sauce, which is just perfect for the full flavoured tasty tomato sauce base, which I what I used here
This week’s “Back to School” healthy meal plan features meals my kids love that can be made quickly. Morrocan Chicken made in a crockpot (recipe coming soon), garlic couscous, pita bread, Sundried tomato hummus, and green olives
I served my Tomato & Herb Gigantes Beans with some crusty bread and a very simple green salad, but with a bit more time you could make up a full meze platter with olives, flatbreads, dips and perhaps some roasted baby new potatoes and marinated and griddled aubergines
Cook gently for about ten minutes until soft and only just beginning to brown. Kefta Mkaouara is a delicious, and very popular Moroccan tagine of meatballs in a spicy tomato sauce and is usually served with flatbread
Plain Jane Spread marinara sauce or tomato paste on the flatbread. Top with your choice of fresh sliced vegetables (kale, bell peppers, peas, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, green onions, etc
His Paneer bhurji was my favourite, with lots of chopped onions and tomato bits added to it. Add in tomatoes now, along with all the spices (except cardamom powder)
Continue to knead for a few more minutes, until the dough is fairly elastic. However this time I totally cheated and went for flatbreads, which don’t contain any yeast – it’s only ever the yeast that freaks me out
Then add your Sundried tomatoes and knead for a few more minutes. The last few weeks I’ve been going through one of my flatbread addiction phases and they have accompanied a lot of our meals but last night I fancied a change so made a foccacia
In those days there wasn’t much available by way of ready meals nor did we have any substitutes except for dried soya protein which I still use frequently
I roasted the beetroot with cardamom and apple cider vinegar, and then transferred it to the stove top to cook with onion, garlic, carrot, chickpeas, tomato paste, turmeric and garam masala
Add the garlic and salt and cook, stirring, for a further minute. It will ease you back into healthy eating nicely as well since it’s one of those meals that’s so rich and delicious you’d never guess it was good for you
With everything going on with the book, I am going to be short on time for the next few months, so meals like this are going to be featuring a lot in our house and therefore on the blog
