Meatball & Chickpea Curry using @Quorn_uk Swedish Style Balls.

25g Protein, 13g Fibre & £1.50 per portion… winner winner, veggie dinner !! 🤭🤭

This is exactly what I’ll take the time to meal prep if I have a busy week but want to save some pennies & keep on top of my protein & fibre intake. 

I haven’t eaten meat for a LONG TIME & I’m telling you that these veggie balls are the best there is. I’m a massive Quorn fan and always keep a stash in the freezer - no artificial ingredients & you can cook them straight from frozen.

👩🏼‍🍳 Ingredients - serves 4 👩🏼‍🍳 

300g Quorn Swedish Style Balls
1 Red Chilli (leave out if you’re not a huge spice fan)
1 Red Onion
1 Green Pepper
400g Chickpeas
200g Chopped Tomatoes
400ml Coconut Milk
Basmati Rice 
Fresh Coriander
Store Cupboard Ingredients: 1tbsp vegetable oil, 1tsp minced ginger/garlic, 1tsp Ground Coriander, 1tsp Ground Turmeric, 1tsp Ground Cumin, 1tsp Garam Masala 

Optional: 1tbsp Mango Chutney, 1tbsp Tomato Paste

TIP: If you don’t have these spices, start with a £1 Curry Powder. It will be just as tasty! 

To make… 

🥘 Slice up your veggies & sweat them in some vegetable oil for 5 minutes before adding the minced ginger & garlic and tomato paste. 

🥘 Then add your spices with a splash of water and cook for a further minute. 

🥘 Add your Quorn Swedish Style Balls and chickpeas & mix well before adding your chopped tomatoes & around 350ml of coconut milk. 

🥘 Mix well and bring to a simmer - cover and cook for around 20 minutes, stirring every now and then to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom! 

🥘 Serve with a drizzle of the leftover coconut milk, some fresh coriander & some mango chutney if you fancy it along with a side of rice! 

Pop into airtight containers and store in the fridge - reheat unit piping hot when ready to eat.🫙xxx

I am very clear that I have no interest in calories BUT I do try and hit a fibre and protein goal every day and the Smart Nutrition Plus app is a FAB way to see these metrics without having to see calories. Or, if you are wanting to track those, of course you can do that too, along with a whole range of vitamins, irons & fats. The app has so many features to optimise health goals as well as articles & guidance. It really is a brilliant little tool if you need a hand with giving your body what it needs to thrive.

Onto the pasta… this popped OFF. Store in the fridge in an airtight container & reheat in the microwave. 🫙🫙🫙

👩🏼‍🍳 Ingredients - to make 5 portions 👩🏼‍🍳 

- 200g feta
- 300g baby plum tomatoes 
- 1 red onion
- 1 red pepper
- 8 veggie sausages 
- 400g chickpeas 
- Fresh basil
- 350g pasta shells

Store cupboard: 1tbsp olive oil, 2tsp chilli flakes, 1tbsp mixed herbs, 2tsp garlic granules, 2tsp dried parsley, salt & pepper

To make…

🛒 Preheat your oven to 180 degrees.

🛒 De-skin your sausages and roll into small balls (smaller than in the video!).

🛒 Drizzle over olive oil and season with chilli flakes, mixed herbs, garlic granules, dried parsley and salt & pepper.

🛒 Pop into the oven for 25 minutes.

🛒 Whilst that cooks, cook your pasta as per packet instructions and save 1-2 cups of pasta water. 

🛒 Once the feta mix is cooked, give everything a good mix and add half the pasta water, creating a sauce.

🛒 Add the cooked pasta and keep adding pasta water until you get to your desired consistency.

MEAL 5: Smashed Potato & Halloumi Bowls

🍴 2 portions
⏰ 35/40 minutes
Store cupboard essentials: olive oil, salt & pepper, garlic granules, dried parsley, smoked paprika, dried mint

Ingredients

- 2 Large Potatoes 
- 2tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
- 2tsp Garlic Granules
- 1tsp Dried Parsley 
- 2tsp Smoked Paprika
- 225g Halloumi 
- Baby Gem Lettuce
- 2tbsp Yoghurt 
- 1/2 Cucumber 
- 0.5tsp Dried Mint
- 1tbsp Peri Peri Sauce
- Pickled Red Onions

To make…

🌯 Cut up your potatoes into cubes & boil for 15-20 minutes or until soft. 

🌯 Drain and pop onto a tray. Crush with the back of a glass and drizzle with olive oil.

🌯 Season with garlic, salt & pepper, dried parsley & smoked paprika and air-fry for around 20 minutes or until crispy. 

🌯 In the meantime, slice up your halloumi and pan fry until golden brown on each side. 

🌯 Prep your tzatziki style dressing by mixing together yoghurt, dried mint, grated cucumber and salt & pepper. 

🌯 Slice up the lettuce and remaining cucumber and once the potatoes are cooked, layer everything into a bowl.

🌯 I also added some peri peri sauce and my pickled red onions - recipe on previous post!

*BULKING OUT OR DOWN? 

This pretty perfectly serves 2 but an easy bulk is some more potatoes and some more salad-y bits! 

🫙 Store any leftovers separately in an airtight container in the fridge - heating up the potatoes & halloumi before assembling with any leftover salad.

MEAL 1: PANEER, CHICKPEA & CAULIFLOWER TIKKA TRAY BAKE

🍴 3 portions*
⏰ 35 minutes 
Store cupboard essentials: oil, minced ginger & garlic, chilli flakes, dried parsley

Ingredients

- Half head of cauliflower
- 1 red onion
- 1 block paneer
- 1tsp minced ginger & garlic
- 1tsp chilli flakes,
- 2-3tbsp tikka paste (I used patak’s paste pots)
- 300ml-400ml coconut milk 
- 200g chickpeas
- 200g chopped tomatoes
- 1 packet of microwavable rice
- 2tbsp yoghurt 
- 1tbsp mango chutney 
- 1tsp dried parsley 

To make...

🥘 Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. 

🥘 Chop up your cauliflower into florets - smaller than mine are here! 

🥘 Add to a baking dish along with diced up red onion & cubed paneer & chickpeas. 

🥘 Add a drizzle of vegetable oil, minced ginger & garlic, chilli flakes, tikka paste, coconut milk, chopped tomatoes. 

🥘 Cover with foil & pop it into the oven for 15-20 minutes.

🥘 Remove from then oven, give everything a mix and add a little more coconut milk or a splash of water if need. 

🥘 Remove the foil and pop back into the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cauliflower is cooked & soft. Mine took a little longer than this so make sure you make your cauliflower pieces smaller! 

🥘 Remove from the oven and stir through your cooked microwavable rice - or actual rice if you have some in the cupboard! 

🥘 Serve with yoghurt, mango chutney (optional but I always have some kicking about) and some dried parsley. Enjoy !! xx

*BULKING OUT OR DOWN? 

Honestly, this already serves 3 healthy portions. You can bulk it up with extra veggies / rice! Otherwise, save your half head of cauliflower & make my cauli wings!

Save any coconut milk for when reheating - add a splash before you microwave to keep it saucy!

🫙  If freezing, keep the rice & yoghurt separate and re-add these elements one defrosted and reheated. Otherwise, store in the fridge in an airtight container and reheat until piping hot.

PICKLED RED ONIONS:

🧅 Finely slice one red onion. 

🧅 Combine hot water, vinegar, salt & sugar - transfer into a jar and add your onions in.

🧅 Leave for around an hour until they’re ready & then pop the lid on and chuck them in the fridge.

🧅 As I did this the lazy way, I wouldn’t leave these longer than a week! I ate them in 2 days though so all good HAHA

*BULKING OUT OR DOWN? 

This makes between 2/3 portions - can be easily bulked up with more rice!

🫙 I ate my leftovers cold and they were so GOOD.
