This recipe creation was one I stumbled across whilst my husband was travelling. I only had a few chicken thighs in the fridge, some pantry basics and a pot of homemade almond butter. I stared at my depleted ingredients and suddenly thought why not throw them all together and see what happened? I can’t tell you how pleased I am that I did so as this is now very high on my list of favourite recipe creations. It’s super quick to make, smooth, creamy, flavour packed and ever so comforting. Since I created it, I have now made it on about 5 separate occasions for my husband and friends and it’s been a resounding success. Combined with a big bowl of turmeric and coconut cauliflower rice it’s the perfect sharing dish. Do feel free to use any type of nut butter, I frequently make this recipe with almond butter too which works just as well!
- Curry:
- 460g chicken fillets
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1 large white onion, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp almond butter (or any other nut butter)
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 Tsp coconut oil
- 1 measuring cup water + 1Tbsp
- Cauliflower rice:
- 1 Tsp salt
- 1 Large cauliflower
- 2 Tsp coconut oil
- 3 Tbsp desiccated coconut
- 1 Tsp turmeric
- In to a deep wok place 2 tsp coconut oil and allow to melt over high heat
- Fry off chopped onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes until soft
- Add in the chicken and fry off until white on all sides
- Add in spices, salt and mix on to the chicken. Fry off for another 1-2 minutes
- Add in a little water (1 tbsp) and mix in, continue to cook
- Add in 2 tbsp almond butter (or other nut butter) and stir in followed by 1 cup (measuring) water. Fully combine mixture
- Allow to simmer for approx 10-15 minutes, the mixture will thicken considerably. If it thickens too much add in 1-2 tbsp water at a time until desired consistency
- Serve immediately with cauliflower rice
- Cauliflower rice:
- In to a blender place chopped cauliflower and blitz until rice like consistency
- Add in 3 tbsp desiccated coconut, 1tsp salt and 1 tsp turmeric, mix in
- In to a deep wok or pan place 2tsp coconut oil and melt
- Over high heat add the cauliflower rice and cook for 5 minutes maximum - the rice should still be grainy and should still retain a bite
