Cooking Instructions

40 mins

1

Heat a large saucepan over a medium to high heat and add the cooking oil. Once warm add the chicken pieces. Brown off the chicken then add in the red pepper and stir.
2

Next add the spring onions and season with salt. Add the garlic and chopped chillies. Fry for a couple of minutes whilst stirring and then add in the dried spices.
3

Once the chicken and veg is coated with the spices add the lime juice and the zest. Stir and fry for another minute, then pour in the coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer and leave to reduce down for around 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4

Prepare the noodles or rice, and set aside. After 30-40 minutes the sauce should have now reduced down and thickened. Turn off the heat and leave to cool for a minute.
5

Stir through the quark/yogurt and thicken the sauce further, it should now be a lovely orange colour and a nice silky thick consistency.
6

Serve up with your rice or noodles and enjoy! :)

Key Lime Pie Key Lime Pie

I made this often with fresh key limes when we lived in California, where we had a tree full of them. Now they are hard to get so I use regular limes fresh juice is really the best flavor with either lime! It can be made in the traditional 10 inch pie pan or in 4 -3 inch tart pans as I made in the photo for 4 individual pies

This recipe came about as I wondered what to do with a pack of chicken legs. The answer turned out to be: make chicken paprikash, with a twist. The Spanish paprika adds an unexpected but delicious smoky heat.

Leek and pumpkin soup with lime Leek and pumpkin soup with lime

In this kind-of-autumn soup, the leek is the main star. The pumpkin purèe acts as a flavour booster, rather than overpowering the delicate taste of leeks. Spash of lime juice at the end really brightens up everything.
