Veggies
From time to time it's good to eat something completely veggie.
Especially when it's a season for it and you can share it with the loved ones.
Over here you can find some vegetarian options or just some extra things to go with main course, like salads.
Easy Orzo Pasta
This recipe is extremely easy to make and ready in just 15mins! Which is a fantastic go to for a fast, filling and filled with flavour meal!
Personally I have served it with chicken kiev that we had leftover from night before, but if you wish to add some veggies to it, be my guest!
Recipe comes from website thereciperebel.com I’ve only changed few things in the recipe to match my own taste :)
Ingredients:
250g orzo type pasta
550ml of veggie or chicken broth (made from cubes is fine too ;))
3-4x peeled and minced garlic cloves
100ml of thick coconut cream from tin
A good handful of parmesan cheese grated (leave some for decorations)
Pesto (optional)
Grounded Black pepper for taste
Chopped parsley for decorations
Prepare the veggie/chicken stock, add it to a pan. Add your pasta and garlic. Simmer on small/medium heat for around 5-7mins, when stock is nearly gone, add coconut cream. Leave for 2mins.
Just at the end add your parmesan, 2x tablespoons of pesto and black pepper. Taste it if it’s need anything else and serve straight away with some grounded parmesan and parsley leaves.
Serve on it’s own or with other veggies or add like me as a side to your meat or fish of choice.
Delicious! Enjoy!
Leftover Salad
You know that feeling? So much food left from the night before or after holidays or some party? Why not to use in some good way?
I absolutely love meat from BBQ or oven or pan from the day before to just make a quick and simple salad for the next day.
You can have it for lunch or dinner either way will be a perfect meal :)
Ingredients:
Leftover pieces of chicken or any meat you wish to use - I leave the amount for you :)
1x big handful of ready to go salad mix
1/2x of sweet bell pepper, sliced for smaller pieces
1-2x tomatoes, cut for “half of the moon” style
around 30-40g of real feta cheese, break for smaller pieces
handful of olives
handful of grapes (optional)
small sprinkle of raisins/cranberries (optional)
sprinkle of pumpkin and sunflower seeds
Dressing:
1 1/2x teaspoon of daily use mustard
1/3x teaspoon of water
1/3x teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1x squeeze of runny honey
Make a dressing- mix everything and leave on a side.
Take a bigger bowl, add your chopped tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, chicken and all the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle with your dressing and enjoy!
Yes! It is that simple ;)
