Traditional Lebanese Eggs with Sumac

17/2/2015

1 Comment

 
Picture
Makes: 1 portion
Preparation: 5mns
Total: 10mns

Benefits:
Traditional Lebanese Eggs and Sumac breakfast in clay pot, there is really nothing to this recipe and its extremely delicious. Eggs, contrary to what some people might believe, are very healthy for you. They contain amazing nutrients such as Choline that are vital for proper brain function. Eating eggs once or twice a week will add a lot of essential nutrients to your diet. Sumac is a spice made from the Sumac plant and the red dried crushed berries that grow on it. It adds a lovely mild lemon flavour to food, is full of amazing antioxidants and is just amazing with eggs!

Ingredients: 
2-3 eggs
Sumac powder (1/2 teaspoon per egg)
Garlic (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:
  1. Put a clay pan/pot on a low flame and add a tablespoon of olive oil. If you don't have access to a clay pot, you can substitute with a small frying pan that will hold the eggs tight.
  2. When the oil is hot, crack the eggs on top.  Option1: After a minute or two, add your salt, pepper and sumac. How much you add depends on your taste, but I’d say half a teaspoon of sumac for each egg. Option 2: Crush one garlic clove thoroughly, add 5 tablespoons of water and the Sumac. Mix well and pour on top of the eggs.
  3. Keep frying until the egg whites have set. 
  4. Serve with fresh Lebanese bread and Greek-style yoghurt (Labneh) on the side.

Avocado toastie

13/3/2014

Picture
Makes: 1 Serving     
Preparation: 5mns
Total time: 5mns

Benefits:
This is not even a recipe really but its such a great snack and the best part is that it takes 5mns tops to put together. It is amazingly healthy and will keep you full for a long time. Avocados are full of healthy Omega 3 fats that raise your good cholesterol and help reduce your bad cholesterol. Your body needs 2/3 servings of healthy fats a day and 30g of avocado makes up one serving. That's amazing when you compare it to oil where one teaspoon counts as a serving. I know which one I'd rather have!


Ingredients:
1 slice of Gluten free bread toasted
30g avocado flesh mashed
Any vegetables of your choice (cherry tomatoes, baby lamb lettuce etc...)


Directions:
  1. Simply mash the avocado with the back of a fork and spread on the toast bread
  2. Top with your favorite sliced vegetables. I personally love to add cherry tomatoes and spring onions
  3. Add cracked black pepper and cracked himalayan salt on top and Enjoy!

Quinoa porridge with bananas

3/11/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
Makes: 2 servings
preparation: 10mns
Total Time: 25mns

Benefits:
Quinoa is one of the best Vegan protein sources you could eat. It contains significantly more protein then any grain, and the quality of the protein is better then that of meat. It is also rich in vitamins and minerals and is low in fat. An all-round great food! 

Ingredients:
75g (3oz) of Quinoa
Freshly grated nutmeg to taste
2-3 tablespoons of rice milk 
4 tablespoons low-fat natural live yoghurt
1 banana peeled and sliced

Directions:
  1. Wash the Quinoa thoroughly to remove the residue on the grains. Place in a  saucepan with 350-375ml of water and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 15mns. The mixture should be quite sloppy.
  2. Tip the mixture into a blender and process with the nutmeg and rice milk. Add more liquid if needed to give a porridge-like consistency.
  3. Return the mixture to the pan and gently reheat. Serve topped with a couple of spoonfuls of yoghurt and some sliced banana.

Tip: I love to add some chopped walnuts on top!

Raw Oats with Yogurt and Fruits

16/6/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
Makes: 1 Serving
Preparation: 5-7 mns
Total time: 5-7 mns

Benefits:
This is one of my absolute favourite breakfasts! I have it practically every morning and vary the fruits and nuts daily to add variety to my diet. You should prepare it the night before and leave it in the fridge, ready to eat in the morning. It is a prefect combination of proteins (nuts, yoghurt) and carbs (oats), which keeps you fuller for much longer. Oats are a great source of soluble fiber that helps to reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream. Five to 10 grams or more of soluble fiber a day decreases your total and LDL cholesterol. 

Ingredients:
30g of Oats
120g of low fat organic yoghurt/Greek yoghurt
60g fruits of your choice (try pomegranates, berries, peach/apricots or a mix!)
3-4 pieces of walnuts or almonds chopped, or 1 teaspoon of milled Flaxseed.

Directions:
Mix the oats, yoghurt and fruits together and place in the fridge overnight. The raw oats will absorb the liquid from the yoghurt and soften, almost like they have been cooked. In the morning remove from the fridge and sprinkle with the nuts.

Tip: We love to add a little Cinnamon to the mix. It tastes delicious and its great for Balancing Blood sugar

Picture
Makes: 2 Servings
Preparation: 15mns
Total time: 20-25mns

Benefits:
Hidden cauliflower puree provides kids with half the daily value for vitamin C. With more than 19 grams of protein per serving, these scrambled eggs pack a powerful protein punch! 

Ingredients;
2 large eggs
4 large egg whites
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 cup cauliflower puree (see directions below)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Pinch of salt
Nonstick cooking spray
1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions:
  1. To make cauliflower puree, cut off florets and discard core. Steam for 8 to 10 minutes. Puree in a food processor or blender for about 2 minutes, with a few teaspoons of water if needed for a smooth, creamy texture.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, sour cream, cauliflower puree, Parmesan and salt.
  3. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, then set the pan over medium-high heat. 
  4. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Add the egg mixture, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently with a silicone spatula, until the eggs are scrambled—firm but nice and moist—2 to 3 minutes.
