Are you looking for a healthy dinner recipe that you can make in under 30 minutes?

Quite often my clients tell me that they find it difficult to get inspiration for healthy meals that also taste good. Here I have created a family friendly meal that won’t break the bank, is full of protein and fibre and most importantly tastes great. As a nutrition educator, I work to show my clients how easy it is to create meals that they enjoy with just a few substitutions. If you’re ready to make the leap and change your lifestyle for the better, say hello today!

Nutritionist approved “Fried Rice”

• 10 minute preparation time
• 20 minute cook time
• 4 servings
• Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Low FODMAP optional

You’ll need:

• 1 cup frozen carrot, peas and corn – I love using frozen fruits and vegetables because of their high nutrition content, as well as being a cost effective way to get more vegetables into your diet.
• 1 cup uncooked quinoa
• 2 eggs lightly whisked
• 2 bacon rashers, chopped with all visible fat removed
• 2 shallots trimmed and finely sliced
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon gluten free soy sauce
• Optional sesame seeds and shallots to serve

Method:

To cook the quinoa, add 2 cups of water to a large saucepan. Add quinoa and bring to the boil. Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until all the water has absorbed. For every 1 cup of uncooked quinoa, add 2 cups of water.

Add oil to a saucepan on medium heat and fry off bacon until cooked. Remove bacon from pan and set aside.

Add vegetables and cook until tender.Add egg mixture to pan and cook until the egg is set, usually a couple of minutes.

Add bacon and quinoa and soy sauce, mix until well combined.

Dress with sesame seeds and shallots.

Enjoy!
