Curry Pomegranate Protein Bowl Recipes

PERSIAN STYLE CHICKEN CURRY WITH WALNUTS AND POMEGRANATE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large frying pan/skillet and add the onions. Fry for 2 minutes and then add the chicken. Cook for 5 minutes, until sealed, stirring occasionally.
• Add the sliced peppers and chopped aubergine and stir. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
• Whilst the chicken and veggies are cooking, place the walnuts in a food processor and blend just until they turn to fine crumbs.
• Add the walnuts, garlic and ground almonds to the pan and cook for a minute. Add in the turmeric, salt, pepper, cinnamon and lime zest, stir and cook for a further minute.
• Add the chicken stock, honey and three-quarters of the molasses. Stir, bring to a gentle bubble and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Taste the stew, add more molasses if needed. Cook for a further 5 minutes and then serve on top of boiled rice or cous cous.
• Top with pomegranate seeds, chopped parsley, red onion slices and chopped walnuts.

CURRY POMEGRANATE PROTEIN BOWL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Place squash on a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes, turning once. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until crisp-tender, 4-6 minutes. Add curry powder, cumin, garlic, coriander and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 1 minute longer. Add water and lentils; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until lentils are tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Gently stir in soy nuts, cranberries, green onions and roasted squash. Divide among serving bowls. Drizzle with molasses and top with feta, pomegranate seeds and cilantro.

CHANA MASALA WITH POMEGRANATE RAITA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan, then cook the onions, ginger, garlic and chilli for 15-20 mins.
• Add the spices, chickpeas, the liquid from the can, ¾ can cold water, the tomatoes and bouillon. Cover and simmer for 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for the raita in a small bowl, reserving a few coriander leaves. Roughly mash some of the curry to thicken it. Spoon into bowls with rice, if you like. Scatter over the reserved coriander and serve with the raita on the side.
