Sat Bains cooks healthy recipes
 

 

To start...

Pumpkin soup (serves 2)
250g diced pumpkin
2 sliced shallots
50g butter
450g white chicken stock
Salt and pepper to taste

Melt the butter in a pan and fry the shallot for 2 minutes, add the pumpkin and continue cooking for a further 5 minutes, add the warm chicken stock and simmer until the pumpkin is cooked (about 5 minutes) season with salt and pepper and blitz to a velvety texture. The soup can be finished with croutons or cream and maybe a little curry powder for a spicier kick.

 

 

Main course...

Spaghetti with rocket, pine nuts and lemon (serves 2)
150g dried spaghetti
15g rocket salad
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
40g of toasted pine nuts
Olive oil and parmesan cheese

Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of salted boiling water, while the pasta is cooking place the rocket salad, lemon, and pine nuts in a bowl with a little olive oil and parmesan. Strain the pasta and pour in the bowl, gently mix and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

 

 

For dessert...

Apple crumble (serves 4)
150g plain flour, sieved pinch of salt
80g brown sugar
100g butter, cubed at room temperature

Filling:
250g cubed bramley apples
25g brown sugar
Ground cinnamon

Place the flour and sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Taking a few cubes of butter at a time rub into the flour mixture. Keep rubbing until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
