Cauliflower and Lentil Curry

A vegetarian cauliflower and red lentil curry in a creamy coconut and coriander sauce. We've been eating a lot more veggie meals lately and this Cauliflower and Lentil Curry recipe was one that went down particularly well with the family, even with my fussy soon to be 7 year old.  The cauliflower florets are fried first giving them a bit of colour, before adding them into the creamy coconut and coriander sauce. The addition of the red lentils helps to bulk the curry out and make it nice and filling, especially when you serve it like I do with naan bread and rice. I know what you're thinking... double carbs, but you can't have a curry without them can you? If you fancy making the curry a bit on the hotter side you could add a chopped red chilli along with the onion and garlic in Step 1, but I know my kids wouldn't have appreciated that!  Mildly spiced and fragrant is the way to go in this house if you want everyone to eat it.

Creamy Cider Chicken

A creamy cider chicken dish made with diced chicken breasts and smoked bacon, in a creamy mustard and cider sauce. What a revelation this simple dinner was! For such an easy meal, it packs a punch in flavour, largely down to the cider sauce. I find using cider in savoury dishes a bit like using wine, some vinegar and a pinch of sugar all at the same time!
