Dry January & healthy outdoor cooking

On 1 January, many people start Dry January and eat healthy(er).
We are happy to share our healthy outdoor cooking tips that will give your immune system a big boost.

For example, make a tasty vegetable curry, grill a spicy chicken breast on the plancha
And serve it with a delicious salad and a healthy mocktail!

To keep your immune system in good shape, it is advisable to regularly,
eat varied, not too fatty and not too salty.

Make sure you get enough fibre and fresh vegetables (two ounces daily).
As for those vegetables: they may be as green as possible.
Choose vegetables that are rich in vitamins and good for your immune system and thus your resistance.

In the witches' kettle, for example, you can prepare a delicious vegetable curry full of spices.
Enjoy outdoor cooking together and a nice cup of fresh ginger tea around the fire of the outdoor cooking stove.

Happy to share a tasty vegetable curry recipe, to prepare in the witching pot

If you like eating Indian food, then you know how delicious their vegetable curries are.
If you are not very familiar with Indian food and would still like to try it out, this is the perfect vegetable curry to start with. Very easy to make and yet incredibly flavourful.

Additional advantage:
A vegetable curry is the perfect way to use up many different vegetables that are still in the fridge.

Ingredients 

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
4 crushed garlic cloves
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
1 tbsp ground coriander seed
1-1/2 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp tomato puree
500 ml vegetable stock
200 ml coconut milk
Salt and pepper
200 grams of mixed vegetables per person
1 lime rind and juice
2 tbsp fresh coriander coarsely chopped
Rice to serve

How do you make it?
We use the Witch kettle set with telescopic hoist.
Make a nice fire in the fire bowl.
Hang the witch's pot on the hook and heat the olive oil in it.
Fry the onion until it becomes glazy, then add the ginger and garlic.
Fry briefly until the garlic starts to smell.
Now add all the spices and stir briefly.
Add the tomato puree and stir for a moment too.
Now pour in the vegetable stock and coconut milk and bring to the boil, you can top up the fire in between and if it goes a bit too fast you can use the hoist to operate the witch-kettle pan higher and lower, pay close attention to what is happening in the pan and the fire.

Meanwhile, cut your vegetables into roughly equal-sized pieces, as big as you like them.
Add the vegetables and stir them into the sauce.
Hoist the witches' kettle up a little to simmer gently for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the rice.

Finish the curry by seasoning it with salt and pepper and stir in the lime zest and juice.Serve the curry with rice and coriander.

Tip:
Hard vegetables have a longer cooking time than soft vegetables. For example, if you want to do cabbage, carrot and spinach, add the spinach at the end and cook it briefly. This way you avoid unready vegetables or snotty vegetables.

Don't like coriander? You're not the only one! Instead of coriander, sprouts are also very tasty.

An alcohol break will give you a better resistance and eating healthy will strengthen your immune system.

Instead of alcohol

Drink the right fluids: one and a half to two litres a day, such as water, fresh gimber tea, fruit juices, sea buckthorn searoop Or make a nice soup.

Who do you want to sit around a fire more often this new year and cook the most delicious dishes together?
