Stir Fry Spicy Chicken & Vegetable Curry

Stir-frying is a healthy and quick cooking method with an infinite variety of dishes.

I haven’t always been a fan of cauliflower but I find myself buying cauliflower often and craving this meal – this recipe is a game changer.

Swapping out cream for a good quality yoghurt is a much healthier option, and when paired with lemon, the yoghurt takes on the flavours of the spices beautifully.

This Primal recipe brings vegetables to life with a refreshing burst of flavours.

Quick Satay Chicken Stir Fry

Stir fry’s are one of our favourite go-to meals and the kids love them too – probably because we blended theirs to a pulp before serving to them as babies.

They’re so quick and easy, and a great way to use up the last of your vegetables before your next shop. Pick up the satay recipe base in your next shop and have it on hand in the cupboard, so you can make this meal anytime you please.

You can add noodles at the end before serving, accompany with rice, or simply serve as is!
