Sausage and vegetable bake



Virtually no prep dinner- serves 4

Ingredients

6 sausages -1/2 kg - I used  macro organic sausages - cut these in half
2 zucchinis -cut into 4
2 cobs of corn -cut into 4
250g punnet of grape/cherry/petite tomatoes-leave whole. If using big tomatoes just cut in half.
250g button mushrooms-leave whole
I like to put a heads worth of garlic in and a shake of dried thyme and oregano

Method

Put everything in a roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, bake at 200C for 10 minutes, or until your sausages are cooked. EASY!!
I had some leftover cubed cooked sweet potato so I roughly mashed in the pan and cooked with some butter as a hash.

Sweet potato, leek & mushroom braised in creamy coconut lime sauce and pan-fried salmon



Serves 4

Ingredients
 
4 x 120g fillets of salmon, skin on, pin boned
400g sweet potato, peeled, 2 cm dice, cooked until tender, about 10 minutes.

1 big leek, white only, washed and thinly sliced
400g mushrooms, sliced
1 (270ml) can ayam coconut milk
1 tsp onion powder, you can leave out if you prefer, may need some extra salt and pepper though
½ tsp garlic powder
Juice of ½ a lime
1 tbsp tapioca flour
1 tbsp coconut oil/ghee
2 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish



Method

In a large pot heat the oil then add your leek and mushroom, cook 3 minutes until some of the liquid has come out. Sprinkle over the flour and stir in, then add you coconut milk, lime and garlic/onion powder. Add your coconut milk and add a can’s worth of water. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until leek is tender, add your cooked sweet potato, add some salt and pepper to taste. While that is simmering, in a pan add a little oil and season both sides of the salmon with salt. Cook skin side down for 3 minutes then turn over and cook another 3 minutes or so, salmon should still be a little pink in the middle. Spoon your veg on a plate then top with your salmon and parsley.
