Quick Egg Curry with Quinoa... plus how to make Coconut Milk - Quirky Cooking
 
This is one of those ‘last-minute-slap-dash’ recipes that are pretty much my trademark. Sometimes those are the best kind of recipes. Here’s how it happened…

One dark morning, I stumbled out of bed at 5.30am to try and find something my hubby could take to work for lunch, and there was just nothing. No bread, no leftovers, just a few basic ingredients and some eggs. My fuzzy brain did a quick search and came up with ‘egg curry’. I dug through the cupboard looking for the curry powder, but it was all gone. Typical. That’ll teach me to menu plan more carefully. Okay, no big deal – I had the basic ingredients for a curry powder and I had a Thermomix! So I revved up Thermie and quickly ground some spices to make some homemade curry powder, using the recipe in the Indian cookbook. (No, the kids didn’t wake up – they’re used to me Thermomixing at all sorts of odd hours!) Then I made a quick egg curry. Hubby was out the door and on his way by 6am, and I stumbled back to bed.

So a month or so ago I shared this simple recipe on Facebook, and was surprised to find that lots of people loved it! I hadn’t blogged it because it didn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary… but maybe that’s why people like it. It’s simple, tasty, quick, and cheap. And really, that’s what most of us want for everyday meals – right? Now and then a fancy meal, but mostly it’s ‘get it on the table and get ’em fed with as little fuss as possible’!

Have a look at the variations at the end if you’d rather chicken instead of eggs, or more veges, or a vegetarian version.

Ingredients
  1. Curry powder
  2. Coconut milk
  3. Quinoa & eggs
Instructions
  1. Curry powder: if you want to make your own, do that first. You can of course just use bought curry powder, but homemade has lots of flavour, and no anti-caking agents. The recipe I use is the Madras Curry Powder from the Thermomix Indian Cookbook but I leave the salt out. Or I just use the Garam Masala recipe from the Thermomix Everyday Cookbook - that's nice too, and very simple.
  2. Coconut milk: if you're not in a hurry and you really want to go back to basics, you can make your coconut milk first.
  3. The next step is to cook the quinoa and eggs.
  4. Meanwhile, peel eggs and cut into quarters. Arrange on top of quinoa. When curry sauce is ready, pour over the quinoa and eggs, and serve.

Ingredients
  1. 300g dried, shredded coconut
  2. 1200g water
Instructions
  1. Grind up 300g dried, shredded coconut for 10 seconds on speed 8 (in the Thermomix). You can use fresh coconut instead if you have it.
  2. Add 1200g water and cook for 15-20 minutes at 100C, speed 4 - until the temperature reaches 100C. (If using fresh coconut, only add 900g water.)
  3. Blend on speed 8 for 30 seconds; strain through a nut milk bag.

Coconut Milk  - Quirky Cooking
[Optional: Return the pulp to the Thermomix bowl, add another 1200g of water, and repeat. You’ll have a thick milk and a thinner milk. You can either mix them, or just use the thinner milk in smoothies/baking. ]
Coconut Milk - Quirky Cooking
If you like, you can also dehydrate the pulp in a dehydrator for 6 hours on low temp, then grind it for 2 minutes speed 9 to make coconut flour! But I’m getting off the track here, back to the egg curry…

Ingredients
  1. 900g water
  2. 300g white quinoa
  3. 6 eggs, organic free range
Instructions
  1. Weigh water into bowl
  2. Add rice basket and weigh dry quinoa into basket.
  3. Wash eggs well and place on top of quinoa, in the rice basket
  4. Cook for 20 minutes at Varoma temperature, speed 4.
  5. Remove eggs from quinoa with tongs (scrape off the quinoa) and set aside. Tip quinoa into Thermoserver or covered serving dish to stay warm. Rinse & dry bowl.
Notes
  1. Most of the quinoa I've bought is pre-rinsed, it doesn't have a bitter taste. If it's not pre-rinsed (or you're not sure), rinse well in a fine strainer under running water for a couple of minutes, rubbing grains through your fingers to remove saponins. (That's the natural bug-deterrant on quinoa that makes it taste bitter.) Soaking quinoa: If you're thinking ahead, you can weigh the dry quinoa into a Thermoserver or other dish, cover with water and a tsp of apple cider vinegar, and leave to soak over night or for a few hours.

  1. Chop onion, garlic and coriander in Thermomix bowl on speed 5 for 3 seconds.
  2. Add olive oil or ghee and cook at 100C, 2 minutes, speed 1

Variations: You could easily jazz this up a bit by steaming chicken breast pieces in the Varoma on top while the quinoa is cooking, as well as a bunch of sliced veges. Or you could add in any leftover veges from the night before instead of the frozen peas – I tend to do things like that. If you can’t have eggs, just leave them out and use chicken or veges instead. Maybe add a tin of chickpeas with the veges. Play around with it and see what you come up with. Hope you like it! 🙂

Roasted veggie salad with tahini dressing for lunc Roasted veggie salad with tahini dressing for lunch today! I was feeling the need for a veggie boost 🎉🎉 The recipe is in Simple, Healing Food, or there’s another version in Life-Changing Food with a vinaigrette dressing. I love the tahini dressing as it makes it so filling and tasty - you could add a good sprinkle of toasted seeds too if you like! Serve on its own for a light meal, or with roast lamb or grilled fish or steak (or whatever you like really 😄) for a bigger meal. Yum!!

Friday is podcast day! 🎉🎉 You can listen in Friday is podcast day! 🎉🎉 You can listen in via the Quirky Cooking YouTube channel or on your podcast app. 🎧 

Today’s podcast is with David Westbrook @dave_westbrook_, a farming and business coach at @farmownersacademy, and we’re chatting about working smarter, not harder!

[Swipe left to see my most recent podcasts!]

In our frantically busy society, it's easy to get caught up in the "busyness equals success" trap. In this podcast, David shares his insights on how to stop glorifying "busy" and transition to working in a way that aligns with your values, and working smarter rather than harder. He gives plenty of down-to-earth, practical advice that will benefit your daily life, whether you're a farmer, a business person, a busy mum trying to keep up with all the cooking and organising for the family, or a teenager working on keeping up with school assignments!

We chat about:
- how a health crisis in David's family led him to regenerative farming
- how he changed the way he worked so he could focus more on health and family life
- top tips for time management
- slowing down to speed up, and working smarter not harder
- making a 'stop doing' list
- the 'brick theory' (also known as the 'brain dump')
- the 'traffic light theory' for prioritising tasks
- setting goals & creating your ideal week
- making a 'default diary'
- the power of your thoughts
- harnessing your dreams to change your life

Follow David at @dave_westbrook_ and also the @farmownersacademy for podcasts and tips that will inspire you to work smarter not harder! ✨

Oh guys, I’ve been meaning to tell you… I star Oh guys, I’ve been meaning to tell you… I started podcasting again!! 🎉🎉🎉 It’s been a while - I couldn’t keep up with everything while I was finishing my cookbook so my podcast “Quirky Cooking Chats” was a bit hit and miss last year! But baby, I’m back!! 😍 Tune in on Fridays!

Here’s part of the intro of my last podcast, “Creating Healthy Habits” - all about building new habits with tiny steps so they’re sustainable… then nurturing them so they grow and become an everyday part of your life. Tap on the link in my profile then on this video to watch the whole podcast.

You’ll find “Quirky Cooking Chats” on my YouTube channel, and also on Spotify and Apple and Google Podcasts. I’ve moved over to my own channel so this is kind of like “Season 2”! You’ll see 2 episodes so far on the new channel, with another being released tomorrow. Woo!! 🎉🎉🎉

I’ve had a few requests for the recipe for this I’ve had a few requests for the recipe for this delicious potato bake I shared in my stories on Monday - another amazing creation by my sister Joye. 😍 The lemon zest is a genius addition! So here it is, in her own words… she took a quick break from her gardening to write this down for us!! 😁🤗

✨Potato Bake✨

Equal amounts potato and sweet potato, peeled, sliced thinly, parboiled.
(I used 3 sweet and 3 regular)

Butter baking dish, layer potatoes.

Sauce:
1 cup cream
2 Tbsp natural yoghurt 
1/2 c chicken stock
1/2 tsp garlic powder 
1 tsp onion flakes
Zest of a lemon
Sprinkling of thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste

Mix together and pour over potatoes. Cover with grated cheese, bake etc

You'd have to adjust liquid amounts, so that it doesn't just coat it. It's got to be sitting in a puddle of it, so to speak.
————————————————

Yep, she’d rather be cooking or gardening than writing recipes 😄 so I’ll add some more details below in case you need it…

- If you don’t cope well with lactose, you could swap the cream for 24 hour sour cream and yoghurt*, or make cashew milk and use that without straining out the pulp so it slightly thickens, plus a little coconut yoghurt if you like. 

(*24 hour fermenting results in an almost completely lactose-free yoghurt/sour cream - tap on the link in my profile then on this photo for my 24 hour yoghurt and sour cream recipes and info). 

- Use as much cheese as you like, or leave it out if you’re dairy free. For dairy free, you could add a little non-fortified savoury yeast flakes to the sauce for a cheesy flavour - about two teaspoons.

- We used a 26x18cm dish.

- Oven temp was 180C (fan-forced) and it baked for about 30 mins (just until lightly browned).

Easy peasy! Enjoy 🤗🤗

I think Quirky Cooking is turning into Quirky Wood I think Quirky Cooking is turning into Quirky Woodwork but I’m ok with that. 😄😄 Ha ha just kidding, but the handcrafted wooden chopping and serving boards are going OFF and it’s so fun! My trainee, Bea, is polishing and photographing some more boards this morning, and Simi and Grandpa have gotten a new load of maple slabs, so they’re excited to get started on another batch… Keep an eye on your emails and we’ll let you know when they’re up! I’ve put my order in for a coffee table because the Qld maple is so beautiful! (What do you think, Quirky coffee tables next? 😂) 

Board orders from the weekend are being posted out today and tomorrow, can’t wait to see what you think of them! 🎉🎉

As promised, I shared a video of how to make my ve As promised, I shared a video of how to make my very simple, nourishing and delicious Pumpkin Pie in my stories on the weekend - here it is again in case you missed it! 😍 

If you’ve never tried pumpkin pie before, you need to!! I love how such basic ingredients like pumpkin, honey, coconut cream, egg yolks, butter, spices and almond meal can be transformed into a creamy, spicy, comfort-food treat the whole family loves! (Especially when it’s served with a dollop of cream or ice cream… 😁) You can find a few different ice cream recipes in my cookbooks, but we had a “treat day” and served it with ice cream from our local, organic dairy, @mungallicreek. ☺️

This Pumpkin Pie recipe is in my “Simple, Healing Food” cookbook, and in “A Taster” eBook. ❤️ The recipe is gluten free, grain free and free from refined sugars and starches, and there are instructions for equally delicious nut-free, dairy-free and egg-free variations. 

I hope you love it! 🤗

And a massage… 🙌🏻 Then it’s pumpkin pie time! 😄

I had visitors this morning, and half an hour befo I had visitors this morning, and half an hour before they arrived I was desperately trying to find something for morning tea 🤔! I had no treats in the freezer, no blanched almond meal left, the pâté was frozen solid… I did have some whole almond flour and some raw cashews though, so I made a half batch of my Almond Meal Pastry using a mixture of milled cashews and whole almond flour. I pressed the pastry into muffin cups and baked for 10 mins or so at 180C, while making the lemon butter. While the pastry cooled, I chilled the lemon butter in the freezer, then filled the tart shells and topped with whipped cream. My friend Gabi (who grows and dries the freeze-dried raspberries and fruit you’ll see in my online store) brought some of her freeze-dried butterfly pea flowers for me to play with, so I sprinkled some over the whipped cream… Voila! An amazing morning tea without too much effort! Sooo delicious. I think I need to get these butterfly pea flowers in my store, don’t you?!! 😍

You can find the Almond Meal Pastry recipe in my cookbooks and also on the blog (the Chicken Pot Pies recipe); and the Lemon Butter is also on my blog. Another delicious variation is the Passionfruit Butter Tarts in my Simple, Healing Food cookbook! 😍
