CREAMY COCONUT MADRAS GREEN LEAF BURRITO

Great good for you food that is so gorgeous you won't even realise you are missing that thing you think you can't live without...bread!  Creamy coconut madras chicken stuffed into a rainbow chard leaf burrito wrap with spinach and kale, accompanied with a raw beetroot and hot chilli pepper slaw.

If you want to turn this vegetarian which I often do omit the meat giving you a lovely creamy coconut madras kale and spinach and stuff the slaw in the burrito too.

Prep time 10 minutes / Cooking time 5 minutes


Ingredients
(serves 2)

1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp madras curry paste
(recipe below)
2 chicken thighs skin off diced
300ml creamy coconut milk
2 spring onions sliced
1 red chilli diced
1 clove of garlic grated
1" turmeric grated or 1/4 tsp ground
2 generous handfuls of chopped kale
2 generous handfuls of torn spinach
2 large rainbow chard leaves or bok choi

Beetroot Slaw
1 beetroot peeled and grated
1/2 red pepper finely diced
1 red chilli finely diced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp fresh lime juice

I like to prep all my ingredients first and place the rainbow chard burrito wraps on my plates ready to stuff.  Heat a pan and add the coconut oil sear the chicken, add the garlic, turmeric, chilli and spring onion and cook for a minute then add the madras curry paste and coconut milk, bring to a simmer, add the kale and spinach and reduce the coconut milk until you have a medium thick sauce, take of the heat.  Meanwhile toss all the slaw ingredients together and place a portion on your plates.

To wrap the burrito place the madras filling in the centre of each leaf reserving a little of the sauce for serving over the finished burrito, then to wrap, bring the top and bottom of the leaf over the filling then repeat with the left and right sides and on the last wrap roll the burrito over so that the seam side is face down, this will keep your burrito firmly wrapped, you can also pick this burrito up and eat as a street walker.  Pour over the remaining sauce in a diagonal across the wrapped burrito.
