Recipe

This spiced chicken quinoa bowl is a healthy dish with delicious, spiced chicken and smoky char flavours. It’s nutritionally balanced, easy to make and a very satisfying salad meal.

Ensure you rinse the rice and quinoa for several minutes to eliminate any bitterness. You may think that basil and strawberries are an unusual combination, but they are the perfect pairing in this salad!

Grilling the romaine enhances its flavour and adds a smokiness. The cauliflower crumb accompanies the tender lettuce with a punch of saltiness and crispiness. To make this an easy super salad for dinner, prepare the aioli the day before.

Adding fruit into a salad adds a punch of sweetness and pairs perfectly with freshly cooked Australian prawns. The addition of wholewheat couscous makes this salad a fulfilling meal that doesn’t leave you hungry.

Fennel seeds add a whole different element to these pork steaks, making this weeknight wonder an extra-special dish. Most of the dish is cooked in one pan in the oven so there’s less cleaning up. The pear chutney can be prepared ahead of time, too.

From my latest book ‘Nature’s Way to Healing: A Long Covid Guide’, my roasted capsicum pasta is a clever way to transform a traditional comfort food into a nutritional meal. The vibrant capsicums are veritable vitamin factories, containing more vitamin C than oranges while also providing impressive amounts of vitamin A for eye health. The nutritional yeast delivers a cheesy flavour without dairy and adds valuable B vitamins, including B12 for those following plant based diets. The coconut milk creates a silky texture while contributing medium-chain triglycerides that support brain function. This dish proves that comfort food can nourish both body and soul without compromise.

Harissa, a spicy North African blend of chilli and warm spices such as garlic, cumin, coriander and paprika, offers several health benefits due to its combination of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
