Lemon chicken broccoli and cashews



This is DELICIOUS! Ben makes it better than I do but...recipe here!

African Peanut Stew


Make a big batch and enjoy it over and over.

Recipe link here.

I don't know what chard is...I used kale. I also add extra chillis, cos yummmm spicy. I would add peanuts I think, extra crunch!

Teriyaki Salmon and Veg


This was so easy to make and really tasty!

You need:

Salmon fillet
Healthy oil of your choice
one pepper
chilli
garlic
kale
chilli flakes (if you want)
teriyaki marinade (I use blue dragon)

Brush marinade on your salmon and shove it under the grill. Every few minutes, take it out and re-glaze with the teriyaki, once you've done 3/4 the salmon should be about cooked. Sprinkle chilli flakes on it afterwards if you fancy!

Fry all veg in your oil and when it's about cooked, add a dash (about a tablespoon) of the marinade and continue to fry for another minute or two.

Done.

Kale and Mushroom Quinoa


You need:

60g (dry weight) quinoa
100g kale
150g mushrooms
tablespoon of your healthy oil (I use about 3g of coconut oil)
half a (vegetable) stock cube
30/40g feta


Quinoa is easy enough to make. Plonk it in a saucepan and add boiling water about a half inch above the quinoa, and add your stock (you can just have water but I find the stock adds a good flavour), bring to boil, then simmer, covered.

Heat up your oil in a frying pan and cook the kale and sliced mushrooms. Once quinoa is cooked (the water is gone and the grains have turned into little sprials), add the fried vegetables, top with feta. Boom.

While this gives you a really good portion - you'd be good to maybe half the weights above and have some protein with this on the side. For my packed lunches I'd probably also eat a boiled egg.
