TOTAL Greek Yoghurt Launches Yummy Competition

WANTED: tasty recipes with a healthy twist!

 

TOTAL Greek Yoghurt is launching a fantastic competition to find winning recipes for its new Healthy Eating eBook which will be sold on Amazon via Kindle in the New Year. All proceeds from the sale of the eBook will be donated to the Charity – Action for Children.

 

TOTAL is asking entrants to create delicious recipes, perfect for those maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The eBook will publish these recipes alongside heart warming tales from the charity Action for Children.

The owner of the best recipe will receive an iPhone 4S and iPad 2 complete with smart cover. The runner up will win an iPad 2. There will be a further ten runners’ up prizes of TOTAL Greek Yoghurt goody packs, and all recipes which end up featuring in the eBook will receive a branded Yoghurt Cool Bag!

To enter the competition entrants are being asked to submit recipes via Facebook(www.facebook.com/totalgreekyoghurt). All recipes must include TOTAL Greek Yoghurt as an ingredient.

Alison White from TOTAL Greek Yoghurt said; “Every week, we receive a number of emails from customers who have used TOTAL as a healthier substitute for cream, crème fraiche or mayonnaise. The recipes we sometimes receive are of a very high standard and so we thought an eBook would be a great way to showcase people’s passion for the product.

 

Through the competition, we’re hoping to receive a variety of tasty recipes – from nutritious snacks to wholesome family meals and healthy desserts. The eBook will be available to download on Amazon early 2012 as a Kindle eBook and all profits will be donated to the very worthy charity – Action for Children.”

By entering the competition, people will be in with a chance of seeing their name and recipe credited in the TOTAL Greek Yoghurt published e-cookbook, alongside the recipes of well known personalities!

Action for Children supports and speaks out for the UK’s most vulnerable and neglected children and young people. One of the main signs of child neglect is　children going hungry. The effects of hunger can be devastating, from daily pain and poor health to low educational achievement and bullying. Action for Children looks to combat this by early intervention. All of the proceeds from this project will be donated to the　’Take Your Action for Children’ neglect campaign.

You have until the 20th January to submit your recipes, so get your oven gloves on and get creative! We have included Total Greek Yoghurt’s ‘Balsamic Glazed Chicken, Fennel Mash and Pomegranate Reduction’ to give you some inspiration:

 

Balsamic Glazed Chicken, Fennel Mash and Pomegranate Reduction

A simple but absolutely delicious meal, guaranteed to impress! Easily the trendiest of super foods this dish contains pomegranate; a fruit which is said to have a number of health benefits. Stomach upsets, conjunctivitis and haemorrhoids are among the conditions this fruit is believed to cure, and it is now known to combat heart disease, as well as containing three times as many cancer-fighting antioxidants as green tea.

Prep time:
30 minutes

Cooking time:
45 minutes

Serves:
2

Ingredients

For the chicken:
2 tbsp TOTAL Classic Greek Yoghurt
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp soft brown sugar
2 skinless free-range chicken breasts
250ml chicken stock
250ml pomegranate juice
The seeds of 1 pomegranate
For the mash:
75g TOTAL Classic Greek Yoghurt
2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
30g butter
1 fennel chopped

 

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400F/200C/Gas Mark 6.

2. Mix together the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to make a marinade.

3. Score the chicken, season and cover with the marinade, place in fridge for 30 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, peel and boil the potatoes, and keep warm.

5. Cook the chicken on a baking tray for 12-14 minutes.

6. Meanwhile, in a saucepan melt the butter and sweat off the fennel until soft and tender.

7. And bring the chicken stock and pomegranate juice to the boil and let it reduce by half. Add the seeds of the pomegranate. Remove from heat and whisk in the Greek yoghurt.

8. Drain and mash the potatoes, add in the fennel and fold in the Greek yoghurt.

9. Slice the chicken and place on top of the mash, and serve with greens.

 

Chef’s tip:

Leave the chicken for a couple of minutes before slicing. This will retain the moisture for a succulent juicy breast
