MARCH RECIPE OF THE MONTH

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp tamari
• 1 tsp medium curry powder
• ¼ tsp ground cumin
• 1 garlic clove finely grated
• 1 tsp honey
• 2 skinless chicken breasts (or use turkey breast)
• 1 tbsp crunchy peanut butter (choose a sugar-free version with no palm oil, if possible)
• 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
• 1 tbsp lime juice sunflower oil for wiping the pan
• 2 Little Gem lettuce hearts, cut into wedges
• ¼ cucumber halved and sliced
• 1 banana shallot halved and thinly sliced
• coriander chopped seeds from ½ pomegranate

Directions:

Pour the tamari into a large dish and stir in the curry powder, cumin, garlic and honey. Mix well.

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 fillets in total, then add to the marinade and mix well to coat. Set aside in the fridge for at least 1 hr, or overnight, to allow the flavours to penetrate the chicken.

Meanwhile, mix the peanut butter with the chili sauce, lime juice, and 1 tbsp water to make a spoonable sauce.

When ready to cook the chicken, wipe a large non-stick frying pan with a little oil. Add the chicken and cook, covered with a lid, for 5-6 mins on a medium heat, turning the fillets over for the last min, until cooked but still moist. Set aside, covered, to rest for a few mins.

While the chicken rests, toss the lettuce wedges with the cucumber, shallot, coriander and pomegranate, and pile onto plates. Spoon over a little sauce. Slice the chicken, pile on top of the salad and spoon over the remaining sauce. Eat while the chicken is still warm.

SPRING TO-DO LIST

If the sight of the mercury creeping upward fills you with spring fever, we're with you. We, too, are restless for the toastier and longer days that are just around the corner.

1. Clean the gutters: Remove leaves, pine needles, and other debris that have accumulated over the winter so your gutter system is ready to handle spring showers. Overflowing gutters and blocked downspouts can damage siding and foundations.
2. Clean the AC condenser: Remove dust and debris that have accumulated on the AC condenser (the big metal box outside your house) so that the AC works efficiently.
3. Clean the siding: Get rid of dirt and grime that can cause mildew and shorten the life of your siding. As a bonus, the exterior of your home will look fresh and clean for spring.
4. Caulk around windows and doors: Inspect the caulking and repair any that was battered during the winter. Check around your windows, doors, and corner trim to prevent water infiltration and avoid costly repairs.
5. Inspect the roofing: Take a close look at your roofing to check for loose and missing shingles, worn and rusted flashing, and cracked boots around vent pipes.
