Pepper Steak with Spring Vegetables

Another 10 minute meal for busy working people!

You can buy steaks pre-marinated. Otherwise… a good suggestion is Thyme, Rosemary, garlic, Chilli, Coriander, salt, pepper, lemon juice. 

Diabetic Friendly Dinner:
Chilli and garlic grilled chicken breast with a grape, fennel, pear and parsely salad, and a pamersan tuile. Dressed with a home made chilli-infused olive oil.

Salad:
Roughly chop some flat leaf parsley (this has a stronger flavour than curled parsley), and add it to the mixing bowl.
Slice a handful of grapes in half and add to the mixing bowl.
Take a few layers of baby fennel , slicing thinly diagonally to create nice long slivers of fennel. Add to the mixing bowl.
Add in some chilli olive oil (about a table spoon), salt, pepper and you could add some dill at this stage.
Mix well, and either leave it in the fridge or somewhere out of sunlight and warmth.

Chicken:
Try to get a relatively even breast. If one end is very much thicker than the other, it will cook unevenly.
Marinate with some garlic (granules or fresh finely diced garlic), dried chilli flakes, salt and pepper and oil.
Stick it under the grill for roughly 6-8 minutes each side, or pan fry in a little olive oil.

Leave chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing at a slight angle.

Parmesan Tuile:
Grate some italian parmesan into a ring mould, mix in some salt pepper and parsely. Grill for 4-6 minutes or until light gold. Leave for 20 seconds, then mould into a folded taco shape, a rolled up wafer or leave in a circle. After moulding, leave for another 3 minutes to cool and crisp up.

dress all items with more chilli olive oil.
