There are times when laziness takes over our will to cook. And, to calm those hungry grunts of your stomach, you eat a 2-minute noodle for dinner and call it a night! It feels comforting at the moment but we miss out on providing nutrition to our bodies and wake up with an angry stomach. With winter, comes the overpowering feeling of not leaving your bed and blanket.
We have been there too, trying hard to get over the winter blues. So, on days when you don’t want to make a big fuss over dinner, you can turn to these simple one-pot meals. The prep work for them is minimal and they are super easy to get on to the dinner table!
To start with, we have the star of this segment, a pan fried basa fish fillet. This dish is loaded up with protein and leaves you satiated for longer! This one pot meal can be your saviour for days when it feels like too much work to even turn on the stove and you don’t want to order in food.
4 x 200g skinless basa fish fillets
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup orange juice
1 inch pc chopped ginger
2 tsp cornflour
2 Rosemary twigs, fresh or dried
2 tbsp Hot sauce
½ tsp ground pepper
Salt to taste
1 tsp Sesame seeds for garnish
The second up in the list is a one-pot mushroom pasta. It makes for a perfect dinner for busy nights and gives that delectable umami flavour. Mushrooms are a great source of Selenium. They are rich in fiber, antioxidants and protein too. While moderate amounts of cheese can give your body the much-needed calcium, fat, and protein. So, wear your aprons and let’s get started!
And don’t forget to make a little garlic bread to serve on the side.
The third dish is low on effort but high on taste and nutrients. Shrimps are not only a good source of protein but also, selenium, choline, and vitamin B12. It is the perfect one pot meal for a date night dinner or new year celebration! It is a little fancy and you need to fetch these ingredients first. But trust us, cooking it will be a cakewalk for you!
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
These meals take less ingredients to put together in the simplest way. They will give you the excuse to be dolefully lazy after a long day at work plus the nutrition. Well, meals are meant to be shared, so invite your friends over and savour them.
