Sometimes people are beautiful, not in looks, not in what
they say, just in what they are. Markus Zusak
Well I had a stonking migraine come on yesterday afternoon
and my mate informs me that it could be why I couldn’t sleep Wednesday night,
apparently they start long before the head pain hits – well all I can say is
they suck and I’m glad its gone now.
I did manage to cook yesterday though; I fancied chicken
with apricots in some for
I wanted to cook with chicken and apricots and after
searching for lots of ideas, and thinking maybe a Moroccan tagine, I ended up
making a curry! It was tasty though and
easy which was what I needed yesterday, couldn’t be doing with lots of
ingredients. Here’s the recipe;
Apricot Chicken Curry
Serves:
4 people, 9pp each
1 tbsp
vegetable oil (4pp)
200g
onions, sliced
4
chicken breasts, diced (16pp) (I used leftover cooked chicken and threw in at
end)
3 tbsp
(45g) Balti Curry
Paste (4pp)
300g chopped
tomatoes
2 tbsp
single cream (2pp)
150g
dried apricots, chopped (8pp)
150ml
water
Heat
the oil in a pan and fry the sliced onions for 2 minutes. Add the Balti Paste together
with the chicken and fry for 3 minutes to seal the meat. Add the chopped
tomatoes and dried apricots and cook for 15 - 20 minutes or until the chicken
is cooked (add water as and when to get the consistency you want). Finally add
the cream and gently heat for a further 2 minutes.
Serve
with rice (60g dried = 6pp) or I used half packet of microwave rice already
flavoured.
Because
of my head I had another early night and I woke up ravenous and wanting to eat
the remaining sausages in the fridge that I’d bought for my lasagne earlier in
the week, I was thinking sausage sandwich but as I started with it, it turned
into this;
I
realised I didn’t need the bread at all it was the sausage I wanted plus onions
and mushrooms, I even threw in courgette and spinach to give it a healthy
edge. A chicken oxo cube with some hot
water was how I cooked the vegetables and the sausage went on George. 12pp and
I couldn’t finish the last sausage.
So
today has no plans at all, fabulous, the weathers not pleasant so I won’t be
venturing very far but I will be enjoying my relaxing Sunday, off for papers
first.
Have
a super Sunday. x
