My turn to cook

So my Mum locked me in the kitchen today and told me I wasn't allowed out until I had cooked something.

Well not really, I offered to cook as Mum and Dad had a late carol service and wouldn't be back till 7ish.

So as it needed to be both a low fat and low carb meal I chose a cajun chicken recipe served with pineapple salsa on a bed of cauliflower rice.



The turkey was fried with some cajun seasoning. The shredded cauliflower was cooked for 6 mins in the microwave and then added to some sautéed red onion and red pepper with kidney beans in a small amount of chicken stock. The pineapple salsa consisted of fresh pineapple, red onion, red pepper, chilli pepper and lime juice.

The turkey was a little on the dry side for my liking. I would cook it in the chicken stock and veg next time in order to make it succulent.

I was pleasantly surprised with the pineapple salsa. I had feared it'd be too sweet, but the chilli gave you a punch in the face after the sweetness of the pineapple and so you were left with spice rather than too much sweetness. A good mix!

Mum and Dad both finished their plates and ate some remains too, so they either enjoyed it or I didn't give them a good portion size ;)

OH and I forgot to put up last nights pictures of our delicious chicken fajitas.
