I've been racking my brains trying to think of fiborous vegetables that grow above ground in a variety of colours but mostly green and can only think of peas and green beans. What else is there?
Also I can't think of any protein rich breakfasts other than eggs?!
Maybe this is why I'm overweight too?!
cabbage, bacon?
YUM!
Spinach, sweetcorn, fennel, globe artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, calabrese, avocado, sprouts, aubergines. . . . .
Kippers, smoked salmon with scrambled egg.
Interesting as I've seen mentioned a few times in different places that 'above ground' veg are best. Why?
tubers/roots = carbs.
I'm not sure that being above ground is the defining factor its just that root veg are all starch / carbs / sugar and above ground are all leafy / vitamins / minerals and for most people its the latter that they are lacking and the former that is easier to substitute with other stuff.
There must be a million and one articles saying that leafy green veg (cabbage, kale, spinach, broccoli, sprouts etc) are the thing we need to eat most / more of. Trouble is most of the time its not what we fancy plus unlike salad stuff it needs a bit of cooking.
Ah OK, thanks. 🙂
Recipe:
Any green leafy veg
Some chorizo
Chilli flakes
Crème fraiche
Parmesan
Put some pasta on to boil (60-100g each)
Fry the chorizo and as soon as the fat starts to appear, add the chopped veg, some chilli flakes and a leek, onion or celery if you like. Stir
When pasta is cooked, drain. To the veg, add a large spoonful of Crème fraiche and grate in some fresh parmesan. Stir in the pasta and voila, a delicious healthy meal in 15 minutes.
Chard?
