Pumpkin, Cheese & Rosemary Muffins

How utterly delicious do these sound? This recipe comes directly off the Taste Magazine website.

Serves: Makes 6 muffins
Category: Easy
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes





Ingredients:
175 g stoneground wholemeal flour
½ cup organic rolled oats
2 t baking powder
¼ t salt
100 g organic Cheddar, grated
120 g organic pumpkin, cooked and seasoned
4 organic eggs
½ cup organic olive oil, plus extra for greasing
freshly ground black pepper
60 g organic feta, cut into large cubes
3-4 T grated Parmesan
a few sprigs rosemary

Cooking instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and oats with the baking powder and salt. Mix in the Cheddar.
• Blend the pumpkin with the eggs and olive oil and add to the bowl, mixing well with a fork. Add a twist or two of pepper.
• Brush 6 extralarge muffin pans with oil, then spoon in the muffin mixture and bury a cube of feta in each one.

• Allow to stand for a few minutes before turning out. Serve warm, while the feta is still molten and gooey.

Coconut Chicken

I love all things Chicken. It's possibly my favourite meat, and certainly a very versatile one.
What's For Dinner features some amazing chicken recipes and this is one of my favourites from that website:

Ingredients:

• 8 chicken pieces
• 15ml oil
• 1 sachet Knorr Fresh Ideas Chicken Pepper Pan
• 6 cloves
• 30ml tomato sauce
• Fresh coriander leaves to garnish
• 2 red onions, sliced
• 1 x 400g tin coconut milk
• 2ml garlic
• 3 Robertsons bay leaves
• 15ml curry powder

(Note that the recipe includes 3ml of fresh ginger and trimmed green beans. I don't really think that the ginger is necessary and I dislike cooked green beans, so I leave those two ingredients out).
 
Method:

1. Brown chicken pieces in oil and add onions
2. Fry for a few minutes
3. Add remaining ingredients except fresh green beans and simmer for 30-40 minutes until cooked
4. Serve with jasmine rice and sprinkle with fresh coriander
