Winter is officially upon us and with cold fronts across the country, we’re all in need of a little ‘soul’ food to warm us up.
Catherine Clark (owner and founder of the Harvest Table) offers three family favourites that taste great and boost your immunity too.
Winter Curry Pot
This easy-to-make dish is even better the next day!
Ingredients
4x Diced Potatoes
4x Diced or Sliced Carrots
2x Diced Onions
45ml Olive Oil
4x Tablespoons Harvest Table Bone Broth *
2x Tablespoons Curry Power
1x Tablespoon Harvest Table Tumeric Latte *
5x Freshly Chopped Tomatoes
2x Tablespoons Tomato Paste
15ml Brown or Coconut Sugar
4x Cubed Chicken Breasts
(or 4x Cups Butternut and Sweet Potato – for a meatless option)
500ml Water
Method
1. Heat the Olive Oil in a heavy-based pot, add the Onion, Harvest Table Turmeric Latte and Curry Powder to the oil. Fry this up until your onion starts to brown.
2. Add your Chicken or Butternut and Sweet Potatoes and lightly fry them with the Onion/Curry mix for 5 minutes.
3. Add the chopped Tomatoes and Tomato Paste, add the Sugar to the pot – stir in and combine the mixture well.
4. Add your Potatoes and Carrots to the pot along with the Water and Harvest Table Bone Broth (Add the Bone Broth slowly and sprinkle it into the pot to avoid clumping).
5. Combine the ingredients and simmer until your Vegetables are cooked through and the liquid is a thicker, saucier consistency – this will take approximately 10 minutes depending on the size of your diced vegetables.
Vegetable Bake
Add a little couscous, feta and pumpkin seeds for a delicious next day lunch!
Ingredients
4x Cups of your Favourite Vegetables, Evenly Chopped
30ml Olive Oil
2x Tablespoons of Harvest Table Bone Broth *
2x Tablespoons of Harvest Table Mushroom Powder *
1x Tablespoon Mixed Herbs
1x Teaspoon Himalayan Salt
Method
1. Add chopped Vegetables, Olive Oil, Mixed Herbs and Salt into a large bowl. Mix together until the Olive Oil and Seasoning has coated your Vegetables properly
2. Sprinkle one spoon at a time, of Harvest Table Bone Broth and Mushroom Powder over the Vegetables, mixing it through after each spoon is added
3. Cover the base of your baking dish or tray with baking paper and pour your Vegetables onto the tray. It’s important you have one, even layer of vegetables to ensure evenly cooked vegetables and to avoid them becoming soggy
4. Bake at 180 degrees for approximately 40 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the size of your chopped Vegetables. Check them with a fork to see if they are done, they should have a nice caramelized glaze, turning light brown on the edge of the Vegetables
