When it comes to eating healthy, often times we picture the chicken with rice and broccoli type meals, which does sound boring. Luckily, eating healthy is far from this. You can eat healthy meals and stay in shape while enjoying the thousands of recipes. Here is one that I learned yesterday. I think it was half improvised, but that is the whole point after all.
Ingredients:
1 zucchini
1 red pepper
1 big potato
Handful of peanuts
2 cod filet
Vegetables
Peel and chop the potato in small pieces. Throw them in a preheated pan with a bit of olive oil.
Chop the red paper to similar pieces and add to the pan.
Shred the zucchini and add to the mix.
Crumb the peanut and add to the mix.
Add olive oil if needed. Lower the heat and stir from time to time, making sure it doesn’t stick to the pan.
If you use salted peanuts I recommend not adding any additional salt. Seasoning of taste is enough.
Fish
Preheat a pan and add some olive oil.
Spread flour and a bit of salt in a shallow dish.
Roll the fish around the flour until is fully coated.
Fry in the pan for 3 minutes in both sides. Time for cooking depends on your preference and the size of the fish you have.
Serve in a plate on top of the vegetables.
Add few drops of lemon juice if you fancy and voila.
The beauty of this recipe is that it can be customized. You can use different vegetables. You can change the quantity. You can use other nuts, or not use at all. Or may be a different fish. Why white fish? Why not salmon for instance. It is entirely up to you.
The goal is not to teach you how to make a fancy meal. The goal is to teach you that it is super easy to live healthy and enjoy amazing taste.
I hope you try this recipe. Let me know what you think and how you customize it. Share the love.
Bon Appetit!!!
