8 Thursday March 23 2023 Mix it up with tasty vegetarian dinners Nutritional therapist Amelia Freer’s new book The Organised Cook not only has recipes but also plenty of advice and practical tips to turn people from frazzled and frustrated into calm and organised in the kitchen One-pot green dahl This is a one-pot wonder that we often make for Sunday night dinner at our house. Nourishing and wholesome, it really sets us up for the week ahead. I’ve added extra greens here with some Swiss chard, but you could easily swap this for spinach, beet leaves or even a couple of handfuls of peas, if that’s what you have to hand. Gluten free, dairy free, vegan/vegetarian. Serves 4 Ingredients 1 shallot or ½ medium white onion, sliced 1 Tbsp coconut oil or mild olive oil 1 large piece of fresh root ginger (about 3cm), peeled and grated 2 cloves garlic, grated 1 green chilli, deseeded and chopped 1 tsp mustard seeds 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground turmeric 300g dried black/brown lentils 1 × 400ml tin of coconut milk 200g Swiss chard, washed and roughly chopped Natural or dairy-free yoghurt, to serve (optional) Fresh coriander, chopped Directions In a shallow saucepan, fry the shallot or onion in the coconut or olive oil over a medium heat for 5 minutes, until it starts to soften and caramelise, stirring occasionally. Add the ginger, garlic and chilli and all of the spices, and fry for another 5 minutes, stirring often. Mix in the lentils, coconut milk and 650ml water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 40–50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft and the water absorbed. Add the Swiss chard and cook for 5 minutes, until wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm with a little yoghurt (or dairy-free alternative) swirled through, if you fancy, and coriander sprinkled on top. Best black bean burger This is definitely the best bean burger I have made and I’ve made a lot. The recipe was inspired by a wonderful bean burger on Sally’s Baking Addiction blog, but I’ve reduced the number of ingredients. Vegetarian, gluten free. Makes 4 Ingredients 2 × 400g tins of black beans, drained and rinsed 1 Tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling ½ red pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped 1 shallot or small onion, roughly chopped 220g mushrooms, roughly chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1½ tsp ground cumin ½ tsp sweet smoked paprika ½ tsp dried mixed herbs 65g breadcrumbs (use glutenfree, if necessary) 80g feta, crumbled 1 large free-range egg 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce Directions Preheat the oven to 150degC fan/170degC. Spread the drained beans on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes until slightly dried out. (This is important.) Add the oil to a medium-large saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the pepper, shallot or onion, mushrooms, garlic, cumin, paprika and mixed herbs and saute for around 8 minutes until soft. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool a little. Place the sauteed vegetables and all the remaining ingredients, including a good pinch of salt and grind of pepper, in a large food processor and pulse until combined, leaving some larger chunks. Using wet hands (as it helps prevent the mixture sticking), shape the mixture into 6 patties (each roughly 8–10cm). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the patties on top. Put the tray in the fridge for a couple of hours, to help the patties stick together. Preheat the grill to a medium heat or the oven to 190degC fan 210degC. If grilling, drizzle a little olive oil over the patties and place them under the grill for 8 minutes. Turn them over, then grill for 4 minutes on the other side, checking every few minutes as every grill is different. They should look a little golden. If baking, drizzle a little olive oil over the patties, then bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Flip them over and bake for a further 10 minutes. –ODT Affordable One Bedroom Villa.

Thursday March 23 2023 9 St thomaS of canterbury college rowing SquadS 2023 Rowing has been offered at St Thomas of Canterbury College since 1999 for boys Years 9-13, and since 2016 for the Year 7 and 8 development squad which allow the younger boys at the college a chance to give it a go. The rowing season is well underway for the squad, which consists of 31 young men plus passionate coaches who are busy training and competing at regattas up and down the country. The Selwyn River remains the training base. Our rowers are committed, hard-working young men who spend the bulk of their week training, outside of school hours, with our seniors training at least 8 times a week! Historically, rowing has been, and in some countries still is, a sport for the elite. Our school, and our Rowing Committee prides itself in minimising inequities that would prevent our boys from rowing and tries to make it as accessible as possible, due to the proven benefits this sport has for young men. Rowing increases academic achievement, improves mental and physical health, encourages a strong work ethic both individually and in a team, and builds lifelong friendships. The 2022/23 season is coming to an end with the most recent regattas being the Canterbury Junior Regatta at Lake Hood and the Meridian South Island Secondary School Champs at Lake Ruataniwha (Twizel). A smaller squad will then represent the school at Lake Karapiro (Cambridge) for the NZ Secondary School Championships (Maadi Cup), the largest school sporting event in the Southern Hemisphere.
