RECIPE: Serves 4

FOR THE CHICKEN:
500-600g boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tbsp neutral tasting oil (I use grapeseed oil)
1 tbsp freshly minced ginger
Zest of 1 lime
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt

FOR THE RICE:
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp freshly minced garlic
2 tbsp freshly grated ginger
1 onion- finely chopped
1 capsicum- chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
350g jasmine rice
250g coconut milk
400ml hot chicken stock
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 cup roasted cashews
3 stalks spring onions- thinly sliced
Coriander- roughly chopped
Juice of 1 lime

Combine the ingredients for the chicken marinade. Add the chicken thighs, and leave to marinade for at least 1 hour

Wash the rice under running water until the water runs clear. Soak in cold water for at least an hour, then drain well.

Heat the coconut oil in the shallow casserole on medium high heat. Shake any excess marinade off the chicken and cook the chicken on both sides- about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate to rest.

Add the garlic, ginger, onion & capsicum, season with salt & pepper and cook for 4 minutes until softened. Add in the rice and stir to coat, then add the coconut milk, chicken broth, curry powder and turmeric. Gently combine and bring to a simmer, then place the chicken on top and scatter over with the cashews. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Leave undisturbed for 20 minutes (don’t be tempted to peek!), then check that the liquid has absorbed. Top with chopped coriander and spring onions, squeeze over with lime juice and serve.

    Gochujang & Potato Slab Frittata! A delicious pre- Gochujang & Potato Slab Frittata! A delicious pre-prepped breakfast made from rescued imperfect potatoes from this week’s @farmerspickau Organic Veggie Box.

Over 2.4 billion kg of produce never leaves Australian farms and go to waste due to their ‘imperfections’. These potatoes were HUGE- probably too big for supermarket standards; but that just means less to peel, longer slabs & more layers in my frittata!

@farmerspickau rescues these wobbly wonders from waste and delivers them to your door. Featured here is the $75 Organic Fruit & Veggie box for 2. You get a wonderful variety of organic produce for a fraction of the price, you can also add on weekly essentials like eggs, milk and coffee. 

Now I’m set for the fortnight ahead AND saved time this weekend doing the groceries. Click the link in my bio and get a box delivered this week- get 15% off your first order with the code ‘THERESE15’. 

RECIPE: Serves 3 (makes 6 squares)
- 1 very large potato (about 300g)
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp gochujang paste
- 1 tsp korean chilli flakes
- 6 eggs
- 45ml milk
- 2 spring onions- finely sliced
- 1 tbsp black & white sesame seeds

Pre-heat the oven to 180*c (fan-forced).

Peel the potato, then slice into rounds about 2mm thick (or use a mandolin). Place in a microwave proof bowl, add 1 tsp salt and cover in boiled water. Cover & microwave for 2 minutes or until fork tender

Combine the garlic, soy sauce, gochujang paste & chilli flakes in a small bowl. Whisk until combined.

Crack the eggs into a large bowl and gently whisk until smooth. Add the gochujang mixture & the milk, and whisk until there are no lumps.

Add in the cooked potatoes & half the spring onions, and gently fold in to combine. 

Line a 20 x 20cm baking tray with baking paper, then pour in the frittata mixture. Sprinkle over with the sesame seeds and the remaining spring onions, and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the centre has set.

Leave for 5 minutes before removing the frittata from the tray, then slide the frittata off the baking paper onto a cooling rack to cool. Slice into 6 squares, and serve warm- or save it for breakfast for the next few days!

RECIPE (makes 12 slices)
- 420ml warm water
- 4g instant yeast
- 15ml extra virgin olive oil
- 5g honey
- 10g fine sea salt
- 500g stoneground bread flour

Toppings:
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp za’atar blend
- 200g pitted green olives
- Flaky sea salt

In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, olive oil, honey & sea salt and whisk until combined. Add in the flour, and mix until everything is combined and there are no dry floury spots. Cover with a tea towel for 10 minutes.

Using wet hands, grab one edge of the dough to stretch it away then fold the dough in half. Rotate the bowl 90* and repeat, pulling and stretching the dough out then folding it in half. Do this until tension has built up inside the dough and it has formed a rough ball; then cover & rest for 10 minutes.  @_lacebakes_ has a fantastic Overnight Focaccia tutorial demonstrating this method, her tutorial truly is fool-proof and so easy to follow!

    Honey & Harissa Carrot Tartlets- made from rescued Honey & Harissa Carrot Tartlets- made from rescued imperfect carrots from this week’s @farmerspickau Organic Veggie Box.

Over 2.4 billion kg of produce never leaves Australian farms and go to waste due to their ‘imperfections’. These carrots? Probably too big, too knobbly, but still perfectly crunchy and delectably sweet.

@farmerspickau rescues these wobbly wonders from waste and delivers them to your door. Featured here is the $75 Organic Fruit & Veggie box for 2. You get a wonderful variety of organic produce for a fraction of the price, now I’m set for the fortnight ahead AND saved time this weekend doing the groceries. Click the link in my bio and get a box delivered this week- get 15% off your first order with the code ‘THERESE15’. 

RECIPE: Makes 4 tartlets
1 sheet puff pastry
1 tsp toasted cumin seeds
1 tbsp rose harissa
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large carrot- chopped into  matchsticks 8-10cm long
1 tbsp honey
10g pistachios- roughly chopped
10g spring onions- finely sliced
50g feta
1 egg- whisked for the egg wash (optional)

Pre-heat the oven to 200*C fan forced

Defrost the puff pastry sheet until soft enough to handle, and cut into quarters (about 12 x 12cm squares). Set aside in the fridge to keep cold.

Combine the cumin seeds, harissa, olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt, then toss in the carrots to combine. 

On a sheet of parchment, add 4 dollops of honey (roughly 15cm apart) and use the back of a spoon to spread out. Add a sprinkle of pistachios, spring onions & crumbled feta on each spot, then arrange the carrots over the top so that they form neat squares.

Carefully arrange the puff pastry over the top, pressing down the edges so that the carrots are encased. Brush the pastry with egg wash, then bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and puffed.

Set aside for 10 minutes to cool, then place another piece of parchment & baking tray on top of the tarts. Quickly invert the tray, and peel the parchment off the top. Enjoy!
