Well, after the photoshoot today, I plan to make myself some dinner and I have not decided what to make yet. I have a few recipes in mind and I have about at least six hours until dinner time. If you were me what would you prepare for some gastronomic satisfaction and eye candy?
Would it be Couscous Salad with Avocado and Prawns?
Would it be Couscous Salad with Avocado and Prawns?
A fresh, easy dish to make and ready to eat within 30 minutes! Couscous is a grain product made by drizzling salted water onto coarsely ground hard durum wheat to form tiny balls of dough. The balls are rubbed until uniform in size and then dried. Its texture is nuttier than long-grain rice and the instant variety cooks in far less time than most rice or pasta. Couscous is a popular dish from Morocco and North Africa which is now appreciated worldwide. It is served with meat, fish, vegetables and spices.
Or would it be Fettuccini Primavera?
Primavera means 'spring' in Italian. Use your favorite spring vegetables such as asparagus, peas, broccoli, cauliflower etc. Another recipe adapted from 'Living the G. I. Diet'. For those who are lactose intolerant, this is a nice dish as there's no milk in the sauce with the exception of the Parmesan cheese.
Or will it be Blue Cheese Polenta with Balsamic Mushrooms?
Polenta (cornmeal) is a traditional staple food throughout much of northern Italy and started out as peasant food. Today it is much sought after and can command high prices when ordering in a restaurant. The blue cheese in this dish adds a bit of bite to an otherwise bland dish. This recipe is adapted from Australian Good Taste magazine. Mushrooms are an excellent source of B vitamins (B2, B5, B3) and in the past it was the specialty mushrooms such as Shiitake, Maitake, and Reishi that were heralded as natural ways for cancer research. However, the common button mushrooms (including crimini) have been shown to have anticancer properties as well.
