What's your 'soul' food?

[SingingLark]

I don't mean comfort food, but food that makes you feel nourished and alive after a period of being run down or eating crap?

Mine is a green thai curry with lots of veg.

Something like stew.

Roast chicken with roast potatoes and lashings of chicken gravy. Mmmmmmmmmm

Roast dinner

Steak pie

Soup, either carrot and coriander or butternut squash and smoked bacon.

A salad.

sunshine powerfood salad from Giraffe

Salad (the one by Leon that the Giraffe one was nicked from is much better, IMHO); roast chicken / beef (rare) + trimmings and, crucially, condiments; spag bol - though I found, when following a low-carb diet, that the bol with lightly steamed cabbage, pref spring pointed cabbage (Lidl used to sell it for 40p) is even nicer than the pasta.

THai green curry with spinach (having that tonight)

Chicken pieces (chopped thighs) and peppers, tossed in cumin, coriander, turmeric and olive oil. Thrown in the oven for 20 mins. Served with lots of salad and pitta bread. Always have that when I come back from MIL's house and haven't had any fresh veg or fruit.

Lots of steamed or stirfried veg, especially broccoli.

pineapple

Something with spinach or broccoli-I craved spinach all the time when I was pregnant! Oooh and steak too I always wanted spinach and steak, mmm

Oranges - just had two in a row really works

And a great big load of vegetable stirfry

and chickpeas.

I still crave a noodle soup from when I lived in S Korea in 1997. It was called Chambon and was noodles in broth with octopus chunks, shredded cabbage and onion, garlic and leaf herbs and loads of chilli. It tore through colds and coughs and left you streaming but MAN you felt so alive!

fruit and veg

butter chicken, but only as prepared by me.

Wish it was fruit and veg, but I seem to need the yoghurt, cream, butter, oil, etc etc

My thai red curry with Aubergine, courgette, mushrooms and chicken.
Soul food as its yum, loads of veg, and I am the only one thats eats it so always have some in the freezer for days when required

My "Spanish" spicy stew. Chicken, chorizo, chilli, veg (whatever you have to hand) and white beans in tomato sauce.

Thai curry, stir fried broccoli, or pakchoi or green things and steamed rice generally.
Also smoked duck breast and pakchoi salad - yummy

Thai beef salad

Yasai itame from Wagamamas - brilliant if you've got a cold.

My sweet potato, parsnip, lentil, carrot and coconut soup.

Fresh raspberries.

Greek salad.

Homemade hoummus and hmemade tsatziki with 'bits' for dipping.

Vietnamese.
