DINNER RECIPE

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL … SPINACH PICHI PASTA 
This is a great dinner idea for your little one! What is very exciting is how much fun it is for kids to make it and how healthy it is! 


INGREDIENTS:

– 100g baby spinach.

– 150g flower. 

– 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese. 

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

 Put baby spinach and flower in to the food processor and mix until combined well. 

You want it to be this same consistency as play dough 😁.

Then to the fun part, you need to shape your pasta. Your little one will have so much fun doing it with you. Divided the sought in to 1cm balls and the roll it until you achieve thin rolls of pasta.

 Cook the pici straight away, or leave them to dry out for a few hours, or even overnight. If you are Cooking them straight away add to the boiling water and cook for around 8 minutes; if you cooking them from dry then allow extra 5 minutes. 

 Once ready put on the plate, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve (this will give you quite a few portions which you can freeze).

SCHABOWE (pork in breadcrumbs)WITH SWEET POTATO CHIPS & PEAS 

  
Ingredients: 

– 1 pork filet (chicken and turkey breast are brilliant as well)

– 1 sweet potato

– 50g peas 

– thyme

– 1 egg

– 50g breadcrumbs 

– olive oil 

Cooking method:

 Preheat your oven to 200C. Wash, peal and slice sweet potatoes. Put them on a baking tray and sprinkle with thyme and a little bit of olive oil. Bake for 15minutes.  

 Make sure that your filet is around 1 cm thick. If you are using chicken breast flatter it with a meat hammer or rolling pin.

 Prepare 2 plates: on one whip an egg so it’s one consistency; on the second one put breadcrumbs. 

 Cover meat in egg then breadcrumbs and fry on a frying pan on a low heat for 5 minutes on each side. 

 Boil water and pour over frozen peas; leave for few minutes. Cooking peas in unnecessary. Peas its such a small vegetable that leaving it in a boiled water for 2 minutes defrosts it and that way it will keep all of the goodness.  

 For a grownup version just season the egg with slot and pepper before dipping meat in it. 

Enjoy it !!!
