HARISSA TURKEY STIR FRY

 A EAT MYSELF SLIM DINNER

It is that time of the year where two weeks of passionate eating has to come to an end, this is not by choice but by waist expansion!  So to ease myself back onto the pathway my first day of dieting dinner should still be a rich creamy exciting dish that is low in fat but full in flavour.

 Portion appx: 548 Kcal / Protein 28.3g / Carbs 54.8g / Sugar 2.5g / Fat 13g / Sat fat 10.3g


INGREDIENTS
(Serves 2)
300g turkey breast diced
80g green pepper chopped
80g broccoli chopped
80g courgette chopped
1 tsp of turmeric
1 tsp tamarind paste
1 tsp tom yum paste
1 tsp harissa paste
200g half fat coconut milk
Parsley or coriander
1 tsp dried chillies
Salt and pepper
300g cooked rice

This only takes 15 minutes to cook, so put your rice on to cook and then cook the stir fry.
In a non stick pan dry fry the turkey until half cooked, add the green pepper, broccoli, courgette and stir fry for a few minutes, stir in the turmeric, tom yum, tamarind and harissa paste, then add the coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes, season to taste and sprinkle over the dried chillies and parsley.  Serve with rice.

PERFECT RICE
It is all in the method, take one mug of rice and two mugs of water add to a saucepan with a lid, do not be tempted to stir the rice at any point.  Bring to a rolling simmer and place on the lid and cook for 6 minutes, without removing the lid take the rice off the heat and leave to finish cooking for 10 minutes, this will give you light fluffy perfectly cooked rice.
