Ingredients

450g Sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 Large onion, chopped
1 Garlic clove, crushed (I added 4 garlic cloves)
1 Inch piece fresh ginger, grated
1 Red chili pepper or green chili pepper, de-seeded and chopped (I added some seeds for heat)
1/4 Teaspoon ground cumin (I added 1 teaspoon)
1/4 Teaspoon ground coriander (I added 1 Teaspoon)
1/4 Teaspoon ground allspice
2 Tablespoons coconut cream (I added 200ml and cut back on the water)
570ml Water (I only added 370ml)
120g Peeled prawns (I added 250g)
120g Chicory lettuce, shredded
225g Bok choy, shredded
1 Tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 Tablespoons lime juice
Salt
Desiccated coconut, to sprinkle

Method

1. In a large saucepan, mix together the sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, chilli pepper, spices, coconut cream and water.

2. Bring to the boil and simmer until the potato is almost tender.

3. Add the prawns, chicory and chinese leaves. Simmer for 4 – 5 minutes, until the ingredients are warmed through, but the leaves are still crisp.

4. Add the sugar and lime juice, and season to taste.

Serve sprinkled with the dessicated coconut.

Avocado Prawn and Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken
I had some prawns I wanted to use and there was not enough to make a meal out of so I decided to stuff some chicken breasts with them. These were really easy for me as the rest of the ingredients was all stuff I had in my fridge. I served ours over asparagus with a hollandaise sauce to accompany.

Ingredients

2 Chicken Breasts
100g Prawns
4 Sun-Dried tomatoes, sliced
1/2 Avocado, sliced thinly
1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon basil, chopped finely
2 Cloves garlic, crushed

Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

2. Slice chicken breast down the centre length ways, open out, pound with a meat mallet until roughly of equal thickness.

3. Lay sun-dried tomatoes down one side, of breast, top with prawns, avocado, basil, garlic and lastly cheese. splitting the ingredients as evenly as possible between the 2 breasts.

4. Fold chicken breast over the filling, secure with toothpicks. Heat a little olive oil in a fry pan, brown breasts on both sides. (This just looks more appealing when serving to have the colour on the breasts, can cook them entirely in the oven if you like.)

5. Place breasts in an oven proof dish, drizzle with a little olive oil, bake for about 25-30 Minutes or until cooked through.
