Here is a simple and very easy recipe, not to mention super healthy for your whole family.
If you have a small baby that would need to eat this blended, you can make and prepare the food exactly the same and then just take out and set aside to blend with some high quality oil and some of the steamed water from the vegetables. It will be easier to blend and the texture won’t be as thick. The vegetables’ water will have some vitamins and minerals so it is all good.
Mamma don’t worry, I am with you when you are thinking about what to prepare for dinner everyday. It is a busy time in a family when you have to cook and the kids often never need you as much as while you are cooking dinner. So here I have a very easy recipe that is also super healthy. If you don’t eat fish you may take out the fish and replace it with something else such as quinoa, tofu or legumes.
My choice of vegetables varies on the season or what was fresh in the market that day, feel free to switch some out and put another favorite in.
This recipe feed a family of four, if there are left overs they are great to bring as your work lunch the next day!
– Three carrots
– Three small beets
– Two heads broccoli
– Half red cabbage
– Two great handful of monk’s beard ( a wonderful tasty green, looks like tall grass to me. My new favorite and I add this to almost all my recipes now as this is their season)
– 4-6 fillets of salmon, depends on the size.
Clean and peel your vegetables.
Then I use two steaming pots, one for fish and one for vegetables. Actually, you may also use just one for all if it is big enough just to save yourself from extra dishes to wash 🙂
After you have peeled and cleaned your vegetables bring the water to a boil.
Cut your carrots and beets into small pieces and then toss into the pot when the water is boiling.
In the meantime you keep cutting up your broccoli and red cabbage and after about 5 minutes add that in as well.
Chop your monk’s beard small and add it into the steam at the very end for about 3 minutes or leave it fresh – this is optional.
The salmon takes just about 5 minutes to steam so I put it in it’s pot and at the same time I add the broccoli in.
When the vegetables are ready I put them on a large plate and I add high quality extra Virgin olive oil. Then I add my new two recently found favorite seasonings. One is mixed seaweed, turmeric and a ginger combination – so tasty and healthy. You may find this in most heath food stores.
I season the vegetables mix them up with the oil and then I add the salmon and add a little more spice 🙂 I love the flavor of this combo and it is such a healthy addition to almost every dish.
Love, JM
