Before I became a chef I hardly ate fish or meat but every time I did it was either in a fancy French restaurant or sometimes at home. I like to serve a perfectly cooked piece of fish or chicken with some sort of sauce but often the traditional sauces are heavy and samey. So I am always creating healthy recipes for sauces because I believe without a good sauce the meal isn’t balanced.
Not only it has all these flavours and textures but it is dense with all the nutritions. Sweet potatoes are high in fibre, Vitamin B3-B5, B6, Vitamin C. Green peas are healthy carbs, high in Vitamin A, C, K and protein. Almonds are high in Vitamin E, good fats, Magnesium and Manganese.
I served this Green Healthy Sauce with the Pan-fried salmon and it was a delicious combination. Do give it a try, you will love it!
So this is how you make this Green Healthy Sauce.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
If you are using frozen peas wash it thoroughly, soak it in the warm water for 10 minutes.
If you are using fresh peas, boil water with salt. Add in the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes. Strain and transfer it in a bowl of ice water.
Heat oil in a pan, add in the crushed garlic and chillies, saute for 2-3 minutes. Add in the boiled or steamed sweet potato cubes, mix it well. Cover and cook for further 2-3 minutes.
Add in the green peas, almonds cook for 2 minutes. Add in salt and pepper, mix well.
Add in the quark, turn the heat off. Whilst it is hot make a coarse paste using a hand blender or a blender. Garnish the sauce with sesame seeds if you like.
Serve it with fish or chicken or roasted cauliflower.
