A taste of French spring in the Netherlands (Pan-seared sweet tuna recipe)
Tags:agave nectar berries fish gluten free herbes de provence nutritional data post workout meal tunaIf the days weren’t 13 hours long, I wouldn’t believe it was spring here. I see the sun trying its best to peak out from behind the clouds, and meanwhile the weather down here stays cold and windy.
While tropical fruits are always expensive in cold countries, it is very much springtime in the warmer parts of Europe, and delicious cheap strawberries have flooded my local Albert Heijn supermarket. I recently discovered how to cook meat, especially fish, so today I had a crazy idea while grocery shopping with two friends of mine.
Berry tuna. The most tender premium tuna, Herbes de Provence, and berries.
Pan-seared “sweet” tuna with onions cooked in a Bordeaux wine reduction on a bed of strawberries and blueberries.
Super simple microwave baked apples
Tags:dessert gluten free vegan vegetarianThis is an incredible easy and simple dessert. Cut up apples and put them in a covered, microwave-safe dish. Add about 1 TBSP brown sugar per apple, and spice with cinnamon and allspice. Throw in dried cranberries, raisins, or granola if you want. Microwave for about 6 minutes (maybe two minutes per apple), stopping to stir halfway. It’s almost like having apple strudel with no work.
Chickpea Stew with Quinoa (Gluten-Free)
Tags:gluten free mediterranean vegan vegetarianThis is one of my favorite dishes that France-Lee makes. Originally a stew served with rice and cheese on top, it’s far better as given here. You can also eat it with a bed of cous cous.
