Does anyone know a consultant in Albany WA?

Thought someone in South Australia may be interested in this.

Name of Recipe: Thai Sweet Potato & Lentil Soup
Number of People:4
Ingredients:
10g EVOO
1 Medium brown onion
3cm piece ginger -peeled
1 tbs ( 10-15gm) Thai Red Curry Paste
750g Orange sweet potatoes peeled & cut in medium chunks
120g Red Lentils
600ml Water
2tsp TMX Vegetable stock concentrate
1 tbs lime juice
1 tbs fish sauce
2 tsp brown sugar
fresh coriander leaves to serve

OPTIONAL
150-200 ml Evaporated milk
1/2 tsp coconut essence



Preparation:

Drop onion & ginger on rotating blades & chop Sp4 5 secs
Scrape down and add EVOO & Red Curry Paste
Saute 3min 100^o Speed 1
Add Sweet potato, Lentils, Vegetable stock concentrate & water
Cook 20mion 100^o Speed 1 until potato & lentils are soft. (I blitzed for a few seconds at this point as we like a very smooth soup but thats a personal choice.)
Add lime juice, fish sauce & sugar and blend 3 sec speed 4
At this point you can add the additional ingredients if you wish. I found this soup to be very thick so did use the Evap milk & Essence but you could easily just add more water at the start of the cooking process. Heat at 80^o speed 1 to warm through

Tips/Hints:
Not sure where this originated from. It's handwritten and the page is now very tattered and stained.

members comments A very popular recipe.

Most people find this recipe very thick as VHJ indicated so they've added any of the following
extra water
more coconut milk
used less lentils
added natural yoghurt

Some have used a mixture of sweet potatoes, carrots & squash or just pumpkin instead of sweet potato.

It's hard to go wrong with sausage rolls and these are no exception. They are a nice change in flavour and very easy to make. I had pork & veal mince so used that instead of pork fillet and think they would work equally as well with chicken.

Recipe adapted from Super Food Ideas

From Full Steam Ahead Cookbook
I've made this twice now & it got the thumbs up both times.
You could substitute whatever vegetables you have/like as long as there is cheese to bind them together.
I used some of the filling over the top of the chicken to make it ascetically more appealing to my boys and didn't steam the extra capsicum & courgettes as they wouldn't eat them.
The sauce is delicious so I served the dish with steamed rice to soak all the sauce up! 

Score- 5/5

This was delish. I only used 1 Chili but would try with 2 as per recipe next time. The cashews minced with the water made it beautifully creamy and  a 200gm tub of yoghurt would be enough to "smooth it out". Next time I will leave the cinnamon stick whole as the pieces were a bit annoying as you are eating. Or alternatively you could blitz the spices after they have sautéed.
It was a very easy & tasty dish that I will make again soon.
Score 5/5

Very mild but tasty. I halved the quantity of the coating as I only had a half leg but even think that quantity would be enough for a full leg. It was very mild so I will double the chilli next time. You could easily use this over lamb chops & bake them.
I had some coating/marinade left over and used a bit this morning in my scrambled egg whites with spring onion & tomato. Very Nice.
