The year is young and the time is perfect to start making healthy choices. I believe we must be intentional if we really decide to follow a healthier lifestyle, and it all starts with our grocery list. Because the food we buy are the foods that we will prepare, cook and eat. So, we are trying our best to fill our fridge with fresh fruits and green, leafy vegetables, avoid foods that are sweet, salty and oily, and to cut down on our intake of the Asian favorite, rice.
Today, I will share with you a simple side dish which you can pair with chicken pallard or a grilled fish fillet. Here it goes.
Ingredients:
2 carrots (peeled and sliced)
1 broccoli
1/2 cup green peas
Olive oil for frying
1 tbsp butter (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Procedure:
1. Slice the carrots using a peeler to create ribbons (as in the photo above). Cut the broccoli into big bite-size pieces.
2. In a skillet, heat the butter until melted and add the olive oil.
3. Sauté all the veggies until almost done. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Happy eating!
