Since it's my birthday next week, I decided to spoil my clients and myself with a menu of some of my "favourite things". ๐ฅณ๐๐ฅฐ
๐
My CORONATION CHICKEN CURRY is a big favourite โค๏ธ. Tender pieces of poached chicken breast in a lightly curried, slightly tangy and creamy sauce. Topped off with toasted almonds, dried apricots and sultanas, and spring onions. The secret really is in the sauce ๐ - not just mayo + curry powder, but a proper curry made from scratch.
โน๏ธ ๐พGF, ๐ฅRC, ๐ฅEF, ๐๐RF. ๐, ๐ฌ๐, ๐ฅ.
๐ก Traditionally served cold with bread and salad, but it's also delicious when served warm with rice and a side salad. Great for a packed lunch.
โ๏ธ Can be frozen, but the spring onions will lose their crunch.
โกโ ๏ธ If you'd like to eat it warm, please heat gently (stirring often) so that the sauce doesn't curdle. Microwave or stove-top.
๐ฐ R69 pp.
Somehow it's been ages since this delicious ROSEMARY BEEF & VEGETABLE PIE appeared on the menu. Beef chuck and shin braised with the classic vegetables (onions, carrots, celery), seasoned liberally with fresh rosemary, black pepper, and a splash of red wine. Shredded and mixed with a flavourful gravy, and topped with puff pastry.
โน๏ธ ๐ฅEF, ๐ฌSF, ๐ฅ๐CC, ๐RF. ๐ท, ๐, ๐พ.
๐ก Serve with a green vegetable (like garden peas or steamed broccoli), and if you're a carb lover like me, a small portion of mash.
โ๏ธ Supplied unbaked, and frozen.
โก Oven-bake according to instructions on container lid.
๐ฐ R89 pp.
There have been many types of PORK MEATBALLS on the menu, and these are always a big hit. Chinese-style, with soy sauce and a tiny hint of chilli. But it's the home-made SWEET & SOUR SAUCE makes all the difference - the first time I made this many moons ago I was amazed at how much nicer it is than the orange goo ๐ you usually get with take-aways. The sauce is extra delicious with the addition of chopped onions, peppers and pineapple.
โน๏ธ ๐ฌ๐RS, ๐๐RF, ๐ฅEF. ๐พ(gluten in soy sauce).
๐ก Serve with the Egg Fried Rice.
โน๏ธ Sauce is packaged separately.
โ๏ธ Meatballs freeze well. The sauce can be frozen, but may be more runny afterwards. Sauce will keep in the fridge for about 5 days.
โก Microwave or stove-top.
๐ฐ R65 pp.
With this intermittent colder rainy weather, I've been craving some creamy comfort food. Subsequently, here's the second ever ๐ menu appearance of my MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH BABY SPINACH. Made with onions, garlic, white wine, butter, thyme, rosemary, a dash of cream and a generous sprinkling of pecorino cheese. Involves a lot of frying, stirring and patience, but the end result really is like a bit of heaven. ๐

โน๏ธ Risotto doesn't freeze well (the texture changes), so I'll be making this fresh on delivery day.
โน๏ธ ๐V, ๐พGF, ๐ฅEF, ๐ฌSF. ๐, ๐ท.
๐ก Serve with a side of mixed roast veggies. You can of course add some shredded roast chicken.
โ๏ธโ Doesn't freeze well.
โก Stove-top or microwave. Add a splash of water if needed to loosen.
๐ฐ R64 pp.

I've always been quite partial to EGG FRIED RICE with Chinese food, so here's my version of it with a good helping of added veggies.
โน๏ธ ๐RF, ๐DF, ๐ฅEF. ๐พG+๐ฌ (soy sauce).
โ๏ธ Freezes well.
โก Microwave, or pan-fry on medium heat.
๐ฐ R29 pp.

SWEETCORN & CHEESE MUFFINS Reminiscent of mieliebrood, with cheddar, feta, parmesan, black pepper and spring onions.
โน๏ธ ๐ฌSF, ๐V. ๐ฅ, ๐, ๐พ.
โ๏ธ Freezes well.
โก At their yummiest when heated a bit (oven, or microwave).
๐ก Great for breakfast, lunchboxes, perpetually hungry teenagers, etc.
๐ I'll let you in on a secret. Cut the muffins in half, and toast in a warm pan with a bit of butter. Set aside, and then fry an egg. Sandwich the egg in the muffin, and there you have a very tasty breakfast treat. ๐๐ฅฐ
โ๏ธ Order in multiples of 4 or 6. 16 in a batch.
๐ฐ R17 each.
