Posted by This recipe uses Thai Yellow Curry Paste, which is usually vegan, but remember the check the ingredients as some brands contain fish or shrimp. This curry is delicious hot or cold. It is best served with brown rice or wholemeal chapatis. Try it with a dollop of red currant jelly or blackcurrant jam, you will love it.
Butternut Squash
Butternut squash is rich in complex carbohydrates and low in saturated fat and sodium. It is a very good source of vitamins A and C and a good source of beta-carotene, magnesium, manganese, calcium and potassium. It is fresh, cheap and plentiful October to February.
Butter Beans
Butter beans contain a variety of slow burning complex carbohydrates. They are especially high in manganese and iron. When combined with brown rice they deliver a high quality of protein, fat free, in addition to high levels of soluble fibre.
