Hey everyoneeee, happy Tuesday!
So, as I promised yesterday, I've been planning to post up this delicious, healthy, detox-friendly dinner (or any meal really) recipe. Like I mentioned on my Instagram post, I absolutely LOVE just whipping up, creating and designing healthy recipes that are so filling, nutritious and flavoursome, yet still healthy. Then, not only do you feel like 'ah that was delicious,' but you also know that what you've just eaten is gooood for your body.
My mom and I are on a detox which we kind of just designed on our own to suit what we felt would be realistic, reasonable and maintainable rather than something that's like 'ah no touching carbs, no this, no that'. I've had one or two people saying they'd love to hear more about it so will definitely do a blog post specialising on that detox soon, but for now I thought that I'd just share this super delicious, super filling recipe with you guys.
So, first of all what you'll need is:
- baby spinach
- super-slaw or coleslaw
- capsicums
- onion
- tomatoes
For all of these ingredients you use as much or as little as you'd like depending on how many people you're cooking for or the size of portion you're looking for. Also, you can choose to leave out the ingredients you may not enjoy the taste of if you'd like to.
Here's the method ya'll:
1. Dice the capsicum, onion and tomato into reasonable sizes.
2. Pop the capsicum and onion in a pan to simmer on the stove. This step will last about 10-12 minutes. {I personally like the capsicum and onion to reach a 'texture' of being crunchy yet a little bit softer than what they'd be if it were just the raw vegetable}
3. Whilst they are simmering, prepare your bowl with a layer of baby spinach and coleslaw.
4. Add the diced tomatoes to the capsicum and onion mix to soften and cook them slightly. {you just want to soften them slightly before taking them off the stove before they become too soggy}
5. When happy with their 'texture', place the cooked onion, capsicum and tomato on-top the baby spinach and coleslaw bed.
6. An option is to sprinkle some aoli or mayonaise (or any sauce of your choice) over if you'd like to.
Pro's:
- this recipe only takes about 10-15 minutes to prepare
- minimal carbs (although veggies do contain carbs, they're natural carbs)
- no need for bread/pasta/pizza etc.
- it's colourful, happy and healthy
- it's filling
- ya feel good afterwards!
The aim here is to find the balance and have a combination of cold ingredients and warm ingredients, so I've got the cold salad ingredients at the base (baby spinach and coleslaw) with some warm, cooked onion, capsicum and tomato on the top... it's actually so delicious!
I love creating recipes like this one, hope ya love them too!
... bye :)
