Creamy coconut and lemongrass fish stew
Ingredients
4 lemongrass stalks, finely chopped
2 long red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
Small handful of coriander (to taste)
4 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tsp (15 ml) peanut or sunflower oil
3 tsp medium curry powder
200 g green beans
400 ml tin coconut milk
200 ml vegetable stock
500 g firm white fish, cut into chunks
3 tsp soft light brown sugar
3 tsp (15 ml) Thai fish sauce
2 large handfuls baby spinach
Juice of 1 lime
Small handful of mint, Thai basil and coriander (cilantro) leaves, to garnish
For the rice

250 g Thai jasmine long grain rice, rinsed 2–3 times cooked
Pinch of salt

Instructions

While the rice cooks make the curry. Bash the lemongrass, chillies, coriander and garlic in a pestle and mortar to form a rough paste (or you can blitz in a mini food processor).
Heat the oil in a wok or a large non-stick frying pan (skillet) over a high heat. Add the lemongrass mixture and stir-fry for about a minute until fragrant. Add the curry powder and stir-fry until aromatic. Add the beans then pour over the coconut milk and stock. Add the fish then stir in the sugar and fish sauce and cook for 3–4 minutes until the fish is translucent and cooked through. Adjust seasoning if needed (see Note).
Remove from the heat and add the spinach, lime juice and half the herbs; allow to wilt in the residual heat. Serve with the rice and scatter with the remaining herbs
Note
The flavour of this dish relies on that classic Thai flavour combo of salty, sweet and sour so ensure you taste it while it cooks and use fish sauce, sugar and lime juice to find the perfect balance.

Tapioca, mango and coconut pudding

Ingredients
50 g tapioca pearls
270 ml coconut milk
2 cups mango flesh, chopped and frozen (alternatively use frozen mango chunks), plus extra fresh chunks to garnish
3 tbsp condensed milk
Juice and zest of 1 lime
Mint (very finely sliced)

Instructions
Bring a small pot of water to the boil and add tapioca. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tapioca turns almost completely translucent. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
Remove from heat, drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Add to a bowl with a tablespoon of the coconut milk and fold through to separate the pearls.
To a blender, add the mango, condensed milk, 100 ml coconut milk and lime juice and zest. Blend until icy smooth.
Divide pearls into 4 glasses and top with the mango mixture. Pour over some coconut milk, then garnish with extra mango chunks and mint.

Ultra-processed foods are not ‘real food’. As stated, they are formulations of food substances often modified by chemical processes and then assembled into ready-to-consume hyper-palatable food and drink products using flavours, colours, emulsifiers and a myriad of other cosmetic additives.

Italian almond biscuits (ricciarelli)
My nona used to make these biscuits. I have always loved them. Gluten-free and you can add less sugar for a more healthier version. Its hard to stopp at 1
Italian almond biscuits (ricciarelli)

Ingredients
300 g (3 cups) almond meal
250 g caster sugar
2 egg whites
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
icing sugar, for dusting
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. Mix the almond meal and sugar in a large bowl. Add the egg whites and lemon zest and mix through to create a paste (using your hands is best here). Pinch off pieces of paste and shape into 3 cm x 4 cm rectangles (give or take!). Dust in the icing sugar to coat well, then place onto the lined tray, leaving room for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies look slightly marked and the bottom is firm.

3. Cool on a rack. These biscuits keep for weeks in an airtight container, so you can double the ingredients if you like and make a bigger batch.
