This fruit spread is everything you hope from a fruit spread: fruity, delicate, sweet but not overly sweet. More than that, its nutrients and fibers have been preserved through the cooking method: steam cooking. Enjoy spread on toast, in a bowl with yogurt, in your overnight oats, and more!
When you think about steaming food, most people think “vegetables”. Of course, you can steam most of your foods in a good steam cooker besides vegetables or fish, the foods most commonly associated to steaming. You can cook rice, fish, chicken, cakes, some times of bread and crustless quiche for example. However, most people don’t think of that. This series of articles and videos is there to show you how. Another question comes to mind: how and how long do I steam root vegetables? In this article, I outline the few steps to follow, and address cooking times.
Here is kids friendly, sweet and nutrient dense dip my kids love to dip crackers, carrots, peppers, celery into. Parsley is packed with nutrients, including calcium and vitamin C ! Deliciously dressed with fresh lemon and extra Virrgin Olive oil is nutrition packed too. This dip is made with 4 ingredients + salt: Parsley, apple, olive oil and lemon.
You can use it as pre-meal snack with or without other foods, what we call “aperitif”. You can also use it as a sauce over other vegetables like a sliced tomato. I have used it successfully as baby food as well! A good way to get your baby to associate the green color with yummy foods!
These days, it seems any thing you want to cook you can find a special appliance for. Eggs, rice, yogurt, vegetables, meat. You’d end up thinking you need the best appliances in your kitchen to even START cooking anything. But do we really need all this? Resounding NO! Use a non electric appliance that can cook almost anything you need to cook while preserving nutrient density and cleansing food: a steam cooker!
Zucchini squash and leek are some of these vegetables that are easy to find all year and pair deliciously ! Add up a few herbs, a small potato to smoothen thicken, an egg to make it creamier, extra virgin olive oil, and it’s a a dream of unsuspected flavors. It’s gluten free, dairy free and can easily be vegan ( simply take the egg off the ingredient list!)
It’s the end of the summer and you still need to make sure you enjoy these bright vegetables, peppers, tomatoes, zuchini, eggplants, they are so good on the grill. But have you tried making them into a dip?
