Christmas is approaching – a bright holiday of hope. On this day, you want to create a particularly warm atmosphere for your friends, family, and loved ones. FoodEx has ideas of delicious and light dishes for Christmas to make the festive table both solemn and joyful. Moreover, all of them are easy to prepare – “for one or two”.
Veal baked with rosemary:
A fragrant and delicious dish. Wash and dry the meat. Grind a sprig of rosemary in your palms, mix with black pepper and sea salt. Rub the meat with the mixture. Bake in the sleeve. Serve the veal with berry sauce. Cook frozen blackberries or cranberries (300 g) over low heat (up to 10 minutes). Rub through a sieve or blend in a blender and cool.
Chicken baked with tomatoes and mozzarella:
Tender chicken fillet acquires a creamy flavor with spicy Italian notes. Rub the meat with a mixture of Italian herbs, salt and olive oil. Put in a “boat” made of foil. Cover with tomato and cheese rings. Bake until tender for 15-20 minutes (200 degrees). Serve the chicken with a fresh leaf of green basil.
Parmesan-crusted sea fish fillet:
Select the fish to be baked (cod, pollock, sea bass), rinse and dry. Chop the parsley, add the lemon zest, grated Parmesan cheese. Roll the fish in the mixture. Place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle the finished dish with lemon juice.
Donna salad with celery and turkey
Boil or grill the turkey fillet. Make thin slices. Chop the celery stalk, young cucumbers and lettuce mix and put in a salad bowl with the meat. Dress with yogurt and feta cheese. The salad can be garnished with a quail egg cut lengthwise.
Tips from a nutritionist:
– avoid fasting before Christmas dinner, do not break your usual diet;
– enjoy your meal, eat slowly, and pay more attention to socializing;
– have a mono-diet day the day after the holiday meal, but don’t go hungry. Eat foods from the same group (dairy or vegetables);
– spend more time outdoors, have fun, move and relax.
Holidays are holidays, but we remember our common goal. We wish you an easy and tasty celebration!
