Quick curry sauce
For a creamy curry in under 10 minutes, add this super simple curry sauce to stir-fried chicken, lean meat, fish or seafood, mushrooms or vegetables.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves, finely grated
- 20g/¾oz fresh root ginger, finely grated
- 2 tsp curry powder (any kind)
- ¼–½ tsp dried chilli flakes or 1 finely sliced fresh chilli
- 1½ tbsp tomato purée
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- ½ tsp flaked sea salt or ¼ tsp fine salt
- 100ml/3½fl oz double cream
- freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and very gently fry the garlic and ginger for about a minute, stirring constantly. Don’t allow them to brown.
- Stir in the curry powder, chilli and tomato purée and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly until the tomato purée looks glossy.
- Add the sugar, salt and plenty of pepper, then stir in 150ml/¼ pint water and the cream. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly. Set aside.
- Stir-fry your choice of other ingredients (such as strips of chicken or meat, prawns, vegetables) in a large frying pan or wok until cooked through.
- Pour the curry sauce over the cooked meat or veg and return to a simmer. Cook for 1–2 minutes more, or until hot throughout. Add an extra splash of water if needed. Serve with freshly cooked rice or naan bread.

Chicken and seafood paella
Many families in Spain have their own version of paella, each slightly different from the last. Some include rabbit or chicken, while others focus on seafood. This paella is a homage to my family from Mallorca and is made with both meat and fish.
Lunch Box Chicken Soup
A friend gave me this recipe, and I tweaked a few things to make it healthier. It’s so delicious and quite easy to make! I use it for family gatherings, church functions, care packages ... just about anything. For shortcuts, I sometimes replace the celery and carrots with 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables. The prepackaged rice saves time, too, so you can have the soup ready and waiting even when the kids are busy with activities.
