RE: Changing my nutrition - More Green on my table for a better health

in Natural Medicine4 years ago

That looks like a wholesome bunch of veggies and fruit, we mostly do alright but are trying to cook more fresh meals these days. Girlfriend made a dish from the "Simple" book from Ottolenghi yesterday. Was really enjoyable: prawns with feta, tomato sauce and orzo (a pasta that looks like rice). Reminded me of prawn saganaki from when we visited Greece. One of my favorites :-p

Good luck with the progress in this!

Sort:  

Prawn saganaki? I've never tried this one buddy! Gotta check that "Simple" book you mentioned, I bet it's gonna have a ton of recipes to take a look at!

I am lucky to live in Greece cause our soils are perfect for cultivating so fresh vegetables are cheap and easy to find here!

In which city did you spend your days in Greece? Summer vacation on an island I suppose?!?

You haven't?! Well, I guess you have to like cheese and prawns to enjoy it. Really thought it was a specific Greek dish. My very first out of country holiday as a child with my parents was to Greece actually, indeed on an island I think it was Corfu and later we also visited Lesbos. Then with friends we partied at Kreta after finishing school and recent years went sailing twice so seen quite a bit :-)

So far really enjoyed the book probably not a bad idea to check it out, there's recipes for when you're short on time or with only ingredients most people will have in their pantry so it takes some of the excuses away to not cook and resort to fast food. Let me know if you do and how you like it!

I will man and thanks for the tip!

Maybe this prawn saganaki is a local treat at one of the islands you visited in the past! Definitely not a traditional Greek delicacy!

Kreta is beautiful and same goes for Corfu! My favourite island in Greece is Ithaka by far though! YOu should visit if you haven't and planning vacations here again!

Ahh yes, actually we might have been there when sailing. Can't remember the exact spots we stayed but man most were really beautiful and the food was always good. Not making any plans right now unfortunately, too uncertain still with covid and all but will keep it in mind for later.

Text me if you visit! I always love meeting fellow Hivers!

will do :-)
