More lazy cooking!
I MUST eat well even when I don't feel like making anything. No matter where you are in your life journey this is true for you too. If we can get the food right, we have more space to focus on the more important stuff like managing our stress, good sleep, connection, working through our baggage.
Thing is, even though I have this mantra that I must eat well, I still have days when all I want is a bowl of cereal for dinner. On these days, this is the kind of lazy cooking I do (minimal prep/ chopping) instead.
INGREDIENTS (for one)
150g or thereabouts of frozen prawns
half bunch of broccolini - do nothing to this, nothing
some carrots, just peeled and sliced into quarters vertically, basically the least cuts possible
1/4 tsp dried garlic granules or flakes, yes we're going very lazy here
pinch dried chilli flakes, still being lazy
coconut aminos or tamari to serve
METHOD
- Heat oven to 50C
- Toss prawns into a bowl of water
- Throw veggies into a pan with about 1/4 cup water and a wee drizzle of olive oil. Cook with lid on, medium heat for 7 mins.
- Slide veg onto a plate and keep warm in the oven
- Drain prawns and add to pan with garlic and chilli, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. It doesn't matter if they are not thawed out, the heat will sort that out.
- Lid on and cook for about 2-3 mins then turn and repeat. May need to take the lid off to evaporate the liquid.
- Flop the prawns onto the veg and drizzle with a little coconut aminos or tamari.
So tasty and nourishing and really couldn't be easier.
For those looking for exacts, the veg total might be in the 150-200g vicinity depending in your size, activity level, etc. All up, you'd want to use about 1Tb oil (olive or coconut would work well for this). A piece of fruit for 'dessert' and you're sorted.
