Garlic & Coriander Prawn Buddha Bowl



This 30 minute Buddha Bowl recipe is a balanced, healthy lunch or dinner meal that comes together in no time! It’s a flavourful combo of healthy grains, prawns and veggies with a creamy, citrusy yogurt dressing. 

Ingredients

Buddha Bowl:

150g large prawns
1 large portobello mushroom (sliced)
1/2 courgette (sliced)
30g of grains (I used a mix of red & white quinoa & bulgar wheat)
Large handful of kale (washed & drained)
100g of black beans(washed & drained)
3 cloves of garlic (roughly chopped)
Large handful of coriander (roughly chopped)
Small cube of butter
Coconut oil for frying

Dressing (optional):

Squeeze of lemon juice
A big dollop of natural Greek yoghurt
Sprinkle of chopped coriander

Method

1. Add the grains to a small amount of boiling water (I also add 1/4 of a veggie stock cube for extra flavour) & simmer for 20-30mins until cooked.

2. While the grains are cooking, add a small amount of coconut oil to a pan over medium heat and fry 1/2 the garlic, mushrooms & courgette together until cooked.

3. Add the kale to a pot with boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, drain the water & put the kale back in the pan with a small cube of butter, a squeeze of lemon juice & sprinkle of salt & pepper.

4. Add the rest of the garlic and a small cube of butter to a frying pan over medium heat, then add the prawns and cook until they are white/orange. Finally add the coriander and fry for a further 2 minutes.

5. Put the black beans into a microwave proof jar and pop in the microwave for 2 minutes.

6. Once the grains are cooked drain the excess water and mix in the black beans.

7. Add the black bean & grain mix to your bowl, followed by the kale, then the mushrooms & courgettes, lastly add the garlic & coriander prawns on top.

8. If you want a dressing to go with it, in a small bowl mix together the dressing ingredients and add to your bowl.

Enjoy x

Massaman Fish Curry

I found this single-serve Fish Curry recipe on the I Quit Sugar blog and knew i had to make it! It is filled with lots of fresh veggies and only takes 30 minutes to cook, which makes this dish the perfect mid-week recipe.  I've just used the veggies i had in my fridge, you can add in any veggies you like.  Note: if using store brought massaman curry paste (or any curry paste for that matter) make sure you read the list of ingredients because they can be full of oil and sugar.  If the first ingredient is oil, then don't buy it, the first ingredient should be a flavour like onion, chilli or lemongrass. Also try to avoid pastes that use palm oil.  Ingredients 1 tablespoon peanut oil 1/4 onion (thinly sliced) 1/2  capsicum/pepper (thinly sliced) 1/2 carrot (thinly sliced - lengthwise) 1 tin (165ml) coconut milk 2 tablespoons massaman curry paste The juice from 1/2 a lime 2-3 drops fish sauce 150 g white-fleshed fish fillet, 1 cup of frozen peas  1 t
