5 min. asparagus and prawn's scramble

I've always loved scrambles, probably because they are so easy to make and sooo tasty. On a rainy day like today when I get home I just want to chill and normally eat something that either comes from a man in a bike or it takes no time or effort to make. As the man on the bike should not be an option anymore as mostly he only brings unhealthy things, I have to go for the effortless option, 5 minutes tasty scramble.

INGREDIENTS

Enough for one hungry and tired person.

• asparagus tips
• a cup of prawns 
• 2 medium eggs
• salt and pepper to taste
• low fat cooking spray (optional)

HOW TO

Gather your ingredients

Your prawns might be frozen and if you do not have time to unfreeze them, give it a quick microwave defrost or add it to the pan a bit early, luckily I did remember this morning to leave it to defrost.

Start by cooking the tips I add a bit of cooking spray

When they are a bit toasted add the prawns, they take almost no time to be ready so don't add it too early or they would get burn ( I know from experience)

Prepare the eggs, beat them obviously but in my case this is the time that I add the salt an pepper, it doesn't mean that I might not add a bit more lately but I got the feeling that the saltiness is nicer when I add it to the beaten egg.

last but not  least ad the egg and shake it, baby shake it... move it and remove it so it spreads all over the  other ingredients

Ehhh voila, there you have a quick tasty and healthy dinner in not time add some custard for dessert and you got yourself a marvelous and nurturing rainy day dinner 

Let me know how you got on and in the meantime 

ENJOY :)

Aubergine Surprise (a meaty one)

This week I am startting my birthday celebrations and for me there is nothing better than a delicious dinner with the people you care about and the fact that I am dieting is not going to stop me from celebrating.

INGREDIENTS 

This recipe is enough for two people and a bit for your little poppy 

• 1 aubergine 
• 1 pepper 
• 2 shallots 
• 1 zucchini 
• 250gr of lean mince meat ( beef or turkey works too)
• can of chopped tomatos
• 1 egg
• salt, pepper and garlic powder 
• some cooking spray ( optional)

HOW TO

Gather your ingredients 

Start by slicing the aubergine in two

Remove the inside of the aubergine like so 

Boil some water and add the peel of the aubergine, boil till soften

Then start cutting the vegetables into smal pieces, including the aubergine insides

The last step before getting to the pan it is to prepare the meet, you should add some salt, pepper and garlic powder to the mix, when incorporate it make a volcano in the mix and add a raw egg that will help you to get consistency. Then mix it all, i normally do it with my hands.

Now it is the time for cooking, get a big pan, I am using a wok but a normal pan would do just fine. I normally start by adding some cooking spray, this is optional but I found that it keep the mixture from burn, if you decided not to do that you should be removing the vegetables all the time to prevent burning. I add it in order, first shallot, then peppers, zucchini and aubergine. Then add the meat, it would make it juicy and blend the rest of the vegetables together.

The final step is to add the canned tomatoes, I added pealed full tomatoes as I didn't have the chopped ones, so I had to smash it with my wooden spoon. 

The only thing left to do at this point it is to fill your cooked aubergine peels with the mixture and eat, and I can promise it is delicious

As always I added some fat free formage frais, but  it is fine on its own, if you are not as obsessed about as I am. Let me know if you liked it and feel free to leave a comment below as always 

ENJOY :)
