Spicy herbal day starter


SPICE MAKE IBS NICE

This is how I start my day for quite some time now. This recipe is dairy-free and naturaly sugar-free (unless you add maple syrup). The fruit adds a touch of fiber, cinnamon and cardamom acts anti-inflammatory and peppermint tea soothes the gut. What's not to like?

Here's what you need:
3 spoons plain coconut yogurt
fruit of your choice; pineapple, mango, blueberries
maple syrup (skip if you prefer no added sugar)
pinch of cinnamon
3 cardamom seeds
lemon juice

Here's how to do it:
Yogurt mix is obvious, right? Start with fruit, top it up with yogurt, sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with maple syrup and lemon juice (few drops).

Tea:
Place a peppermint tea bag and a few crushed cardamom seeds in teacup. Pour the boiling water over the tea bag and cardamom seeds. Steep the tea for 6-7 minutes, allowing the peppermint and cardamom flavors to develop fully. Remove the tea bag and cardamom seeds from the cup.

Have a nice day.

Easy Risotto

FAUX RISOTTO This isn't a traditional risotto where broth is gradually added to the rice with constant stirring. Nope. We won't be doing the final mantecatura* step either. But that doesn't mean this faux risotto will be lumpy and dry. Not at all! It's creamy, flavourful, and perfect for a busy weeknight. Here's what you need: 1 cup rice (2 dcl) 3 chicken thighs, diced 1 carrot, diced 1 carrot, grated 1 small grated zucchini salt dry parsley parmesan butter olive oil black pepper 2 cups liquid (chicken broth is the best, but water will do the job) Here's how to do it: Soften carrots in butter and olive oil on a medium heat, add chicken thighs, dry parsely and fry until the meat is slightly coloured.
