I was woken up by the noise of pans and pots. My boyfriend was making breakfast, a sign that he was starving. He looked from the living room and when he saw me moving he came to the bedroom to give me a good morning kiss. I got up, brushed my hair and teeth and went to the kitchen. Breakfast was ready....yay!!! I reached for my Juice Plus and swallowed my 6 capsules: 2 red, 2 purple and 2 green....I'm on my fifth week and on my way to a much healthier life.
What's for lunch today? My boyfriend asked at around 11 am. I checked my weekly planner and decided I was in the mood for another tropical flavor: Coconut!!!
I gathered all my ingredients:
2 garlic cloves
1 big onion
2 pieces of fresh ginger (or more if you really like spicy food)
Some cilantro
1 spoon of curcuma
1 big carrot
1 cup of green beans
1 yellow zucchini
1 small cauliflower
1 cup of coconut milk
As my sister said in one of her entries, I don't cook a lot but I have enjoyed cooking these healthy and easy recipes. All you need to do for this one is to wash all the vegetables, peel and cut the carrot and zucchini into sticks (you can also use a tool to julianne them), dice the green beans and cut the cauliflower into florets.
To prepare the onion, garlic and ginger paste, mix the ingredients in a blender. Once the paste is uniform, place it in a preheated pan with a little bit of oil. Add the cilantro. Three or four minutes later, add the vegetables, the coconut milk and cooked chicken if you are not a vegetarian. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 30 minutes or until you try the carrot and you know it's ready.
I didn't eat avocado today but I had a taste of el tropico with the coconut flavor of this dish.
Enjoy!!!
