Pumpkin Apple Curry
This is one of those pick-your-own-protein dishes. I made mine with Quorn tenders and eggwhites, but you could easily make it with chicken, turkey, tofu, seitan, shrimp, scallops or some other fish. The basic idea is as follows:
-- Make a half cup veggie broth, preferably the no salt added kind.
-- Take a half cup pumpkin (canned, not pumpkin pie mix, no salt) and dissolve it in the broth.
-- Add a medium sized apple, well chopped
-- Add your protein source
-- Cook on medium high until cooked through, allowing the apple juices to seep into the pumpkin and the protein. Add curry powder to taste, garlic if you wish.
-- Add a teaspoon flax oil or olive oil after removing from heat. Serve either alone or with a green side dish such as broccoli, asparagus or cooked brussels sprouts.

Sounds great! I even have all the ingredients in the pantry/fridge, so I'll give it a go for dinner tonight. Thanks, April!

Long time lurker here to let you know that I prepared this dish, with chicken,tumeric,and a side of asparagus, for dinner.
It was quick to make, relatively inexpensive, and tasty. This one is going into rotation.
Thanks.

Hi April,
Science program - Catalyst - ABC TV Australia is currently producing a program about ageing and we wanted to include someone who is practising caloric restriction.
I wondered if you knew of anyone in Australia?
Kind regards,
Ili
