I eat healthy so please keep that in mind...but I think I'm in a bit of a cooking rut. I always cook the same seven things for dinner.
I'd like some new recipes please!
i like Chicken and Fish...
I only eat whole grain pastas and rices.
I love vegetables...
oh...and I don't want to be cooking for more than 40-45 minutes.

I love Mango Shrimp.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 shallots, minced
2 tablespoons peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tomato, peeled and seeded, then diced
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 cup chicken stock, vegetable stock or broth
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1 stalk lemon grass, tender bottom 4 inches only, quartered lengthwise
1 1/4 pounds large shrimp (prawns), peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 cup shelled edamame
1/2 cup diced mango
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh basil chiffonade
1 cup of brown rice
Directions
In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots, ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato, curry powder and coriander and simmer until the tomato begins to soften, about 1 minute.
Add the stock, coconut milk and lemon grass. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Remove from the heat.
In a nonstick saute pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, sprinkle with the turmeric and cook for about 3 minutes. Turn the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque throughout, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
Add the wine and deglaze the pan, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Add the curry sauce to the pan, raise the heat to high and bring to boil. Reduce the heat to medium, add the edamame and cook until the edamame are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Return the shrimp to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Add the mango and salt and stir to combine. Discard the lemon grass.
Serve over brown rice.

Wow--you must make great Thai food. I love Thai food so much. I have one right down the street from me in San Francisco that is so good (and very reasonable too!).

If you have a slow cooker, I would suggest making braised chicken with crushed tomatoes, white wine, chicken broth, celery, okra, carrots, barley, onions, garlic, thyme. Toss it all in together now and let it stew all day. When dinner time comes around, you can sit down and enjoy without a lot of fuss.-
That's my kind of cooking. On the weekends, I like to get more exotic though. But I love my slowcooker.
-
exotic, what you use your slowcooker in the nude?...NO WONDER Hubby is so happy. I thought it was because charm and personality. -

Salad Nicoise is my all-time hot weather favourite. It takes only 15 minutes to assemble:
250 gram tin of salmon, pink or red
500 grams fresh green beans, cooked and sliced
6 new potatoes, medium size, cooked and sliced
6 eggs, hard boiled and cut into wedges
1 small cucumber, peeled and sliced
6 tomatoes, medium size, sliced
12 black olives
small tin of anchovies
In a glass bowl, start with the salmon, in small chunks.
Then the olives, potatoes, beans, tomatoes, eggs and cucumbers.
On the top, lay out the anchovies in a criss cross pattern.
Pour an oil and lemon juice dressing onto the salad while the potatoes, eggs and beans are still warm. Eat crusty french breads. -
Make like a butter chicken - fry up some chopped onions in butter with garum marsala, curry powder, cardamon pods, cinamon quils, chili, tumeric, s&p. Fry it up till its a paste then add the chicken, then add tomatoe puree and then simmer, add cream, yoghurt or coconut cream before serving on rice - add cornflour to thicken if needed-
how spicy is it?

try something of moroccan food

depends on how much chili you put in? but the cream at the end will tone it down also
