There are a few ingredients you will have to get from your pantry namely :

All the food used is organic, ethical and locally sourced, so you can be sure of all the yummy goodness.

The meat is sourced from  Ryan Boon Speciality Butchers in Paarl.

This week I choose the Low Carb Menu:

Breakfast for Dinner – with Sweet Potato, Bacon, Sage and Kale

Tandoori Eland Rump – with a warm Middle Eastern inspired salad

Sticky Asian Chicken – with crunchy winter salad

***********************************************************************

Breakfast for Dinner – with Sweet Potato, Bacon, Sage and Kale

Really quick and easy to make. The crispy Sage was a welcomed contrast to the softened Sweet Potato.

***********************************************************************

Tandoori Eland Rump – with a warm Middle Eastern inspired salad

The game flavour of the Eland complimented the warm Middle Eastern salad . The Salas was really good, something different from the normal boring salad.

***********************************************************************

Sticky Asian Chicken – with crunchy winter salad

My favourite dish from this box, I will definitely make this over and over and over again. The peanuts made a world of difference to the salad.The marinade was simple amazing and versatile, one I will remember to stock up on.

Looking forward to next weeks box, promise the pics will be miles better 🙂
