| March 20, 2013

Welcome to my series of weekly family meals. I’ll share my favourite fresh, nutritious, easy and quick meals for the whole family to enjoy. Where possible, we always eat and cook with organic ingredients. I like to buy the freshest produce for my family to ensure we’re getting the essential vitamins and minerals we need through our food.

This week’s family meal is Mild Veg Curry. It’s healthy, quick and delicious.

Serves 4

Prep Time 10 minutes. Cooking Time 25 minutes.

  • 1 Onion
  • 3 cloves of Garlic
  • 2 Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 Carrots
  • Head of Brocoli
  • 500g Passata
  • Patak’s Mild Curry Paste
  • Wholegrain Rice

I love Waitrose Organic Passata and Waitrose Organic Whole Grain Rice.

The Passata is made of 100% organic tomatoes and provides a smooth and tasty sauce to which you can add herbs and spices as you please. I always use whole grain brown rice instead of white rice for it’s nutty full flavour and health properties.
