Luxurious 7-Vegetable and “Cheese” Soup

Luxurious 7-Vegetable and “Cheese” Soup
Grocery shopping while hungry – oh boy. It seems to happen all too often, despite my best intentions. Sometimes, simply being in the proximity of tasty looking food makes me hungry. Moral of the story: ALWAYS look on the top or bottom row at Whole Foods! I was suddenly struck by an intense craving for broccoli and “cheese” soup. Needless to say, I polished off the jar by lunch the next day. That’s right.

Kasza jaglana z cieciorką i owocem granatu Dzisiaj przepis na wyjątkowo smaczne, zdrowe i niezwykle proste danie, które szczególnie polecam na jesienno zimowe śniadanie. W wersji błyskawicznej możecie nawet wykorzystać cieciorkę z zalewy, ponieważ takowa jest już praktycznie gotowa do spożycia. Wystarczy ją wtedy przelać wodą, odcedzić chwilę na sitku i wymieszać delikatnie w miseczce z łyżką miodu, oliwy z oliwek oraz konkretną szczyptą cynamonu. Taką aromatyzowaną ciecierzycę pieczemy w temp. 180 stopni przez 15 minut. Wszystkie smaki w dzisiejszym daniu połączyłem pysznym dressingiem cytrynowo sezamowym, a ten przepis jest wspaniałą propozycją szczególnie dla osób wychłodzonych. Warto zapamiętać, że nasz organizm jest jak wielka rybacka sieć. Cieciorka, która jest w dzisiejszym daniu zawiera sporo białka o bardzo dobrym składzie aminokwasów, więc z powodzeniem może zastępować nawet mięso. Jak już kiedyś pisałem fanatyzm zdrowej diety, który powoli staje się coraz bardziej widoczny wcale nie jest dla nas taki dobry.
