post ride – Endurance Epicurean

I threw this together really quick because our planned dinner did not cook all the way while we went for an evening ride. This recipe took less than 15 minutes to make.

I served it with roasted potatoes and fresh spinach. Rice and veggies would be a nice accompaniment as well.

This would be a great meal prep option.

1/2 onion, diced

3 inches of fresh ginger, minced

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 lb ground turkey

1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes

1 can chickpeas, drained

1 cup plain yogurt

2 T curry powder

1 lemon juiced

Salt to taste

Sauté the onion, ginger, and garlic in 2 T olive oil until golden.

Add ground turkey and stir. Cook until mostly brown.

Add tomatoes, yogurt, lemon juice, curry powder, and salt. Stir to combine.

Bring to a simmer for several minutes until everything is cooked through and hot. Stir often.

Serve

Before my ride this evening, I prepped dinner so when we were finished and famished we wouldn’t just pick up dirty fast food on the way home.

Earlier in the afternoon, I put 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs into the crockpot with Cajun seasoning, salt, and a couple cups of water. Cooked on low for about 6 hours.

I put 2 cups of quinoa and 3 1/2 cups of water into the rice cooker, turned it on right before we left

I prepped the vegetables before leaving so all I had to do was toss everything together and serve.

I hit up the farmers market over the weekend and scored some beautiful tomatoes and peppers

4 cups of quinoa, cooked

1 red onion, diced

2 bell pepper, diced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 cups of spinach, chopped

2 tomatoes, diced

1/2 cup fresh parsley, leaves chopped

Pinch of salt

I sautéed the onion and pepper until caramelized, then stirred the garlic in before removing from the heat. I placed them in a bowl and chilled in the fridge until dinner.

Once ready for dinner I tossed everything together and topped with the chicken

This recipe makes several servings and holds well for a few days so you can enjoy multiple times.
Tonight was a beautiful night for a ride, I hope you were able to enjoy it as well!
