Turkey burger with Coriander aka Green burger by Oreke

Posted on by Oreke Mosheshe

I love using fresh  ingredients to cook. Homemade turkey burgers always make a gratifying lunch and my boys love this. Once Ralph was diagnosed with his allergies I started paying more attention to food  labels and let’s just say it is absolutely shocking what rubbish you will find in most shop bought burgers. This burger does have chilies but I usually take the seeds off for my kids. We are a family that love our spices. Turkey is a good source of iron zinc and potassium. Till next time xx

Turkey mince – 500g

Spring onions – 5

Galic – 5 cloves

Red chillies – 2

Ginger – 5 tsp minced ginger

Coarse sea salt

Black pepper

Zest of 1 lime

Large handful of coriander

Coconut oil for frying – 1 Tbs

Put all the ingredient in a food processor apart from the turkey and coconut oil blitz. Place the mixture in a large bowl, add turkey and mix with hand. Set aside in fridge for an hour then make into 5 large patties or 10 small once. Heat coconut oil in a pan and pan fry burgers for a few minutes. Sevres 5

“All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother”.  Abraham Lincoln

Where would we be without our mothers? The quote above sums up the many amazing feelings I have towards my mum, every day I hope I will be half as good a mother as my mum is to me. Ok before I overdose on sentiments and begin to cry, I better get on with today’s post. Yummy healthy Sweet potato, chickpeas and coconut curry. I think this is a recipe that both our mums and us will love, once you get all your ingredients it is easy and perfect to cook a night or two before it is needed as the flavour deepens and sweetens the older the curry is. I made this last night and will be sharing with my mum this Sunday.

  • 2 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 2 Peeled and Chopped Onions
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 2 peeled and chopped Carrot
  • 1 Fresh Red chillies
  • 2 tsp Ground coriander
  • 10 Curry leaves
  • 2 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Black mustard seed
  • 6 Tomatoes
  • 200ml Coconut  milk
  • 500ml vegetable stock
  • 2 sweet potatoes cut into cubes
  • 1 butternut squash cut into cubes
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp coconut palm sugar
  • 200g Chickpeas ( I use tinned chickpeas but if you are Delia you can make yours from scratch)
  • Finish with a hand full of coriander leaves or Thai basil leaves

Heat oil in a heavy dish, slowly add onions and garlic, cook for 3 minutes until onions soften. Add the carrots, chillies, coriander, curry leaves, turmeric, black mustard seeds and tomatoes. Stir for a few minutes before adding the tomatoes, coconut milk, vegetable stock, sweet potatoes and squash. Turn up heat, bring everything to a boil for a few minutes then stir, cover and simmer until potato is tender. Finally, add salt, palm sugar and chickpeas. Simmer for about 5 minutes then serve with your favourite rice, enjoy…

Ella’s Kitchen

Ella’s Kitchen is really a gift from above for any parent on the go. When I was pregnant with my first I had visions of hand making all his organic, ethically sourced meals in my Yves Saint Laurent dressing gown with my freshly blow dried hair and sipping a freshly squeezed juice.

Unfortunately, the reality is much different. I just did not have the time to do it all – even a bath was a rare luxury.

The question was how to balance it all, and Ella’s Kitchen played a part in helping.  Ella’s Kitchen have a vast range of organic, healthy food from when your child starts weaning so you don’t feel guilty when you just don’t have the time to prepare meals. However when you do have a moment – even if it is just a few minutes, Ella’s Kitchen have a new cook book called the Red One. In it you can find over a 100 simple and nutritious yummy recipes to inspire big and little cooks alike. From bubble + squeak to Big Beef Ragu as well as delicious desserts (my personal favourite). Both Carter and I have had lots of fun making and more importantly eating the meals and puds. It is a joy to have a cook book that is fun and easy to use
