Just a little break from my India series to bring you a few recipes and a giveaway.
I have another delicious giveaway for you petals, but first let us all talk about how busy we are. All of us. Sometimes we all like to sit around playing the ‘I’m more busy than you.’ game but generally speaking we’re all pretty much run off our feet. I sometimes find myself so busy that I will eat porridge for dinner for like, four nights in a row. Not good. This is why I like to have a few back ups at home for when I really couldn’t be arsed cooking anything fancy but my body is about to shrivel up from a severe lack of vegetables.
I always keep Birdseye SteamFresh Vegetables and fish fillets in my freezer for those kind of days. I like to get a little creative in the kitchen so I’ve put together three quick and easy dinners to make with SteamFresh steamer bags. Hopefully these little recipes will save you from too many takeaways!
Thai Coconut Curry Fish Burger
Serves 1
What You Need
1 Birdseye Thai Coconut Curry fish fillet
1 bag of Birdseye SteamFresh veggies
1 super grainy and delicious bread roll (this one is from Bakers Delight – it’s their 14 grains and fancy things roll)
Handful of baby spinach
A few slices of tomato
Oven chips (optional, but burgers are just begging to be served with chips don’t you think?)
What You Do
1. Heat the fish fillet in the microwave for 5 minutes. Drain off the sauce (it’s a tad too much for a burger!) and place fish fillet, tomato and lettuce on the grainy bun.
2. While you’re arranging your burger, pop a bag of veggies in the microwave for 2.5 minutes. Drain off the excess water and serve them up!
3. Add a handful of oven fries if you’re feeling a little cheeky.
Lemon and Parsley Fish and Vegetable Pasta
Serves 1
What You Need
1 Birdseye Lemon and Parsley fish fillet
1 cup of cooked pasta (wholemeal, white, gluten free – whatever tickles your fanny… I mean fancy.)
1 bag of Birdseye SteamFresh veggies
What You Do
1. Heat the fish fillet in the microwave for 5 minutes.
2. Heat the veggies in the microwave for 2.5 minutes. Drain off excess water.
3. Serve veggies and fish (with sauce!) over a cup of cooked pasta. Perfection.
Garlic and Spring Onion Fish with Brown Rice and Vegetables
Serves 1
What You Need
1 Birdseye SteamFresh Garlic and Spring Onion fish fillet
