It's Tasty Tuesday again!
Thanks to all of you ladies who answered last week's post on crock pot recipes. I got a lot of fun, new recipes to try! I can't wait!
Last week, a lot of you said that you would like to learn some new and healthy recipes that your FI would be willing to try and just might like!
So share a healthy recipe that your FI likes. And if you don't have one, share one you would like to try that you think he might like!
One recipe that I tried with FI, which he didn't think he would like, was brown rice stir fry with red peppers and broccoli.
What you'll need:
1/2 a cup of brown rice
1 red pepper, chopped
1 bunch of broccoli, chopped
2 gloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of ginger, minced
1 teaspoon of red thai curry paste
1 teaspoon of oyster sauce
1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil (or any oil)
(these are all estimates, because I usually just eye the amounts!)
1. First, start cooking the brown rice so that it's ready to add to the veggies later.
2. Heat the oil in a saute' pan. Once the oil is heated, add the garlic and let it simmer until golden. Add the ginger at this point.
3. Add the red pepper and let cook. Red pepper takes a while to cook and soften, so this may take a good ten minutes on medium. Once those are almost fully cooked, add the broccoli.
4. Add the red thai curry past and the oyster sauce on top of it. Mix them together in the pan and stir all of the items around. Let sit until fully cooked, stirring occasionally.
5. Once the rice is cooked, add it to the veggies, with the heat still on, and stir, making sure the rice gets coated in all the yummy sauces and juices of the stir fry!
You're done! You can always add meat if you like as well. We sometimes will add shrimp or chicken. This recipe is delicious, healthy, and pretty low in calories! The oyster sauce and red thai curry paste have very few calories too!
