CHICKEN LAKSA

This Laksa beats any takeaway!

You’ll need: Perfect dish for a pressure cooker if you own one. Otherwise a large pot will do.

600g chicken breast

400ml Coconut milk (make sure the coconut milk has a high percentage of coconut kernel extract, I personally buy 89% for a creamier result)

1 litre Chicken broth (can use stock however broth gives a creamier result)

185g jar Malaysian laksa paste

100g rice noodles

2 carrots

300g bok choy

2 tbsp tapioca flour

Method: Chop chicken into small pieces. Toss chicken in flour. Add laksa paste to pot and cook for a couple of minutes. Add chicken and stir until fully coated with the paste. Pour in coconut milk and broth. Stir until simmering. If using pressure cooker, pressure cook for 20 minutes. If using pot, cook until chicken is cooked and tender (about 30 minutes).

In the meantime chop carrots and bok choy up into small pieces. Do not cook.

Cook rice noodles. Drain noodles, add to bowls. Top noodles with chicken laksa, carrots and bok choy.

BEEF CASSEROLE

This is the perfect dish for a slow cooker if you own one. Put in on and leave to cook ready for dinner.

What you’ll need:

1kg grass fed beef (I used a cut of topside here which turned out super soft)

1 large onion

2 cloves garlic

2 tbsp ghee

1/4 cup tapioca flour well seasoned with salt and pepper

4 large carrots

400g diced tomatoes

300ml beef broth (you can also use stock)

1 small sweet potato

5 potatoes

Method: Cut meat into large pieces. Toss the beef in seasoned tapioca flour. Add ghee to pot and sear beef. Once seared remove from pot and add onion and garlic. Cook until softened.

Return all the beef to the pot, add red wine and simmer until reduced. Add 3 carrots (cut into large pieces), tomatoes, broth and salt and pepper. Close with lid and slow cook for 4 hours.

For the mashed potato I like to use 4-5 potatoes (depending on how many people you serve), a small sweet potato (about 400g) and one carrot. Add salt. Once cooked add a little raw milk and grass fed butter.

Recipe easily serves 4 people.

PUMPKIN SOUP

So easy and super nutritious!

You’ll need:

2kg peeled pumpkin

400g sweet potato

200g broccoli

200g zuchini

2-3 carrots

1 brown onion

2 tablespoon of vegetable or chicken stock

Method:

Chop all vegetables and place into large pot. Add stock. Fill with water just enough to cover the vegetables. Cook until vegetables are soft. Do not overcook. Drain fluid into a large bowl and keep. Place all cooked vegetables into food processor. Once fully pureed place back into large pot and bring to boil. Keep adding as much of the fluid kept in bowl as desired for consistency of soup. Add salt and pepper to taste. That’s it! Optional: Add German Knackwurst. Great way to get kids to eat this delicious soup. Add freshly baked bread to dip into soup is another option. Tip: My rule with this soup is simple: 80% pumpkin, the other 20% add any vegetables you wish.
