so lockdown is happening here in new zealand. three boys, a puppy, a restless hubby and me in a caravan is real fun times!! i hope you guys are being safe out there and looking after eachother.
with this random time i feel like it’s quite important to eat food which is healthy, cause i know you want to eat that cake i made last week, well i do too, so i totally understand.
but i felt i should share a couple of recipes with you that you can put together easily without too much expense or fuss. surprisingly this is something my kids like to eat yep they really do. i think it maybe the bowls lol
don’t forget to check the package ingredients for your specific allergies.
rice bowl….
- quinoa and rice mix
- broccoli or broccolini
- one red and one yellow capsicum
- seeds or nuts
- 2 cans of smoked tuna
this one is a super simple put together, cook the rice as per your prefered instructions, either the microwave version or the full cook version, whatever you can get your hands on.
boil some water and pop in the broccoli when it’s rolling. don’t cook it for long, maybe five minutes, we want a little bit of strength in them still.
slice up the capsicum and pop in a hot fry pan to fry it up.
once you have cooked everything put some rice in the bowls, top with your tuna, cooked veggies and nuts. then serve
ok so it’s simple and delicious, but don’t feel restricted by the ingredients i have used here. some other options, put a cob of corn in the boiling water or on the BBQ and shave the kernels off, use left over roasted chicken instead of tuna, or cut up rump steak with some sweet soy drizzled over, use brown rice, normal rice, or whatever grain you might prefer. use courgettes, red onions, fried shallots, spring onions, really the sky or your pantry is the limit. use what you have, what you like, as long as its fresh and delicious.
stay safe out there friends, if we all work together and stay at home we can beat this thing!!
