Steamed veggies with flavored rice and homemade tomato salsa (vegan)

This is something that I wanted to test out, it turned out great! This is what you need 

broccoli

cauliflower

carrots

chili

soy-beans

rice

salt

thyme

lemonjuice

Start with putting the rice to boil. I added thyme and a bit of lemon juice to the water along with some salt. Then just follow the instructions on the package for how to boil the rice. Peel the carrots and cut them up to your liking and put them in your steamer together with the rest of the veggies. cut the chili into pieces, removing the seeds and place them with the rest of the veggies in the steamer over some boiling water with salt. Let them steam for about 10-15 minutes depending on how soft you want the carrots and the other veggies. 

To make the salsa you need 

1-2 tomatoes

spring onions

salt

pepper

a tiny bit of sugar

lemon juice

and olive or any other vegetable oil

Cut the tomatoes and the spring onion into small pieces and put them in a bowl together with the restof the ingrediens and then mix well.

Place the rice and the steamed veggies. I places the chili on the rice for some garnish and to add flavor. Add the salsa to the plate and enjoy a fully vegan dinner.

Super yummy!

Sweetpotato and chicken wrap

This recipe started out as an experiment, I'm just happy I shot the pictures so that I could post this right away. I wanted to make a wrap, but while I was making this I was thinking to myself that... naah this can't be a wrap because it's basically like a regular meal? But then I did some more thinking and thought that regular wraps that you buy off the store is like a sallad wrapped in a bread of some sort. Anyway, this is what you need: 

1 tortillia bread or any other bread you'll like

1 chicken breast

½ sweet potato

½ tomato

1 avocado

cucumber

orange paprika

lime juice

greek yoghurt

spring onions for garnish

Start by slicing everything into thin slices, season the chicken or marinate it if you want to, depending on what kind of flavour that you'll want. I decided to marinate mine for about 10 min with some soy, oil, hoisin sauce and some spices like black pepper and chili. When you've done that fry the chicken in some oil until it's done, mine took only a couple of minutes on medium/high heat. 

After that add some more oil to the pan, you don't have to clean it in-between since the spices of the chicken can give some seasoning to the potato as well. Add the potato to the oil and fry them on medium/high heat as well. If you cut the slices too thick you might have to blanch them for a minute or so before doing this, otherwise they won't be cooked through

After that just add everything onto your flat bread of choice and mash the avocado on top, add some yoghurt and and garnish with some spring onion. Enjoy a fresh really tasty and healthy wrap! 

Chicken burger with zucchini fries

I often prefer chicken over pork or beef, and I like to try out different alternatives for fries so today I decided to try to make chicken burgers with zucchini fries. It turned out really good so I wanted to share it with my viewers. This is what you need: 

~250g minced chicken (makes about 4 patties)

1 egg

1 shallot

~½ zucchini

1 tomato

1-2 buns

1 avocado

mayo

a few leaves of salad

potato starch

paprika powder

salt

chilli powder

lime juice

cheese

Chop up the shallot and mix it with the minced chicken together with the egg and one tablespoon and some salt, paprika powder and some chili powder. Make them into patties and fry them off in some oil. Cut the zucchini into thin strips, put them in a bowl with some salt, paprika powder and 2-3 tablespoons of potato starch. 

I accidentally forgot to take a photo of this step but mix an avocado with some mayo, salt and lime juice to make a dressing for the burger. 

Fry the zucchini in a pan with quite a lot of oil, almost as if you'd deep fry them. Let them sit in the oil for almost 5-10 minutes depending on the strips. As they start to get some color all over they are done and will be crispy. When they are done let them dry off on some paper to remove the excess oil.

Assemble the burger with the bun, the avocado mix and the preferred veggies for a burger. I also decided to have a slice of cheese on mine. Enjoy a tasty chicken burger with some nice crispy zucchini fries!
