Heat a large wok and lightly spray with cooking spray. Add the shallots or onion and garlic and cook over a medium heat for about 4-5 minutes until softened
Add all the remaining ingredients apart from the haddock prawns and coriander. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes until the butternut squash is tender.
Add the fish to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes. Check the seasoning adding salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the curry in to four bowls and serve garnished with fresh coriander if you have it.
Remember curry is to your taste so you might want to add some more paste! But add what we say so far and then add extra if you need it.
so….enjoy and sorry for the lack of photos, he hasn’t made it for a while!
Macaroni Tuna Bake is the first thing I ever learnt to cook. Its easy and a favourite of mine. So I wanted to share it with you. I make this when I am looking for something quick and easy, generally when I have been at work and not prepared before I left for work!!!
My boyfriends mum makes an even tastier version with a different sauce and crisps as a topping, I will try and find the recipe at some point.
What you will need:
Pasta (my favourite is penne tubes or little bowties)
Tuna (the best is in brine or water not oil as this is fatty!)
Sweetcorn
Peas
Hollandaise sauce mix with milk and butter to make it up
Grated Cheese
breadcrumbs for the top
Green Salad to go alongside.
A Dish to grill it in,
Cook the pasta according to packet instructions, and then just before the end add the peas to cook through, drain. Drain Tuna and canned sweetcorn.
In a saucepan mix the hollandaise sauce mixture together. In the pasta dish pour in the pasta and peas, mix in sweetcorn and tuna, when the hollandaise sauce is cooked pour over the pasta. Top with breadcrumbs and cheese (at this point you can add herbs should you choose such as parsley) place under the grill for a few minutes to crisp up and serve.
Enjoy, boy its making me hungry!
