I haven't forgotten about the blog!
I have just been trying to make mental ends meet in terms of life-things, and thus blogging has been put aside. But worry not, I have been cooking! And I have a few new recipes up for you *smiles*
For a long time, I have been following Ella's blog, and the other day, I saw a recipe that I thought would be great for lunches at work.
And you know? I was right, this recipe worked out great!
Fajita Bowls
(Serves 2-3, easy enough to double though!)
1 tbsp oil
2 closed garlic
150g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
2 red bell peppers, chopped or sliced
1 tsp chipotle spice
2 tbsp soy sauce/tamari
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
Black pepper
4 Spring onions, chopped
400g beans (I used borlotti)
Fresh coriander and chilli, chopped - for garnish
Brown rice to serve
For the lime and coconut cream:
50g coconut cream
Juice of 1/2 lime
For the guacamole:
1 avocado, mashed
1/3 green chilli, finely chopped
Lime juice
Coriander, chopped
- Boil the rice as instructed on the packaging.
- Start by heating oil in pan and fry the garlic until fragrant, for about a minute, then add the mushrooms, soy sauce and spices.
- Whilst this is cooking, why now quickly whip up the coconut and lime cream?
- When the mushrooms are well cooked, add the red pepper, apple cider vinegar and beans and heat through properly, before swirling through the Spring onions.
- Now, you have some time to let the dish sit (you don't want to burn yourself! I always get super enthusiastic when dinner is ready and never learn my lesson, ouch!), and make the guacamole! It takes less than five minutes, and is absolutely best fresh!
- Divide the rice between bowls, and top with guacamole, cream and some chopped chilli and coriander if you like a bit of a kick!
I love that the days are getting brighter now, I can definitely feel my mood being better now with the occasional sunshine in my face! I hope you have had a lovely week so far!

Dette hørtes ikke dumt ut :D Jeg elsker også at dagene blir lysere, inspirasjonen kommer liksom med lyset. Endelig kan jeg ta bilder av maten uten å rigge opp et helt fotostudio på kjøkkenet, hehe.
ReplyDeleteHåper du har det fint :)
Haha, ja ikke sant? Plutselig når jeg lager middag i vanlig middagstid kan jeg SE maten jeg spiser!
DeleteDenne middagen var digg altså! Og veldig god som lunsj neste dag og :) De protein barene du nettopp postet hørtes herlige ut!
Her går det fint ja, bare uhyre trøtt etter jobben, føttene opp! Ha en god kveld skjønne du :) x

ReplyDeleteHåper alt er bra med deg <3 Selv er jeg nettopp ferdig med dagen. Det blir lange dager for tiden, og når jeg først KAN sove, er det vanskelig å finne roen. Men å MÅ jeg finne sengen.
God natt til deg.
Hei! God helg!
DeleteKJempeglad for at kommentarene kunne postes, endelig :) Hihi, blir så frustrert selv når jeg prøver og poste og ingenting skjer...
Ja, Ella er kjempeflink! Masse god inspirasjon :) Awh, skjønne du! Du må få deg litt søvn når du kan, uansett hvilken tid på dagen det er :) Alt bra her! En hektisk dag på jobb, men nå er det endelig helg :D xx
Yes I can see how this would be a fabulous lunch! Great find, Jules! I especially love the sound of the lime coconut cream. I'll definitely give this a try!
ReplyDeleteThe brighter days make a world of a difference, don't they? Sunlight really helps with the mood :) I'm glad you seem to be having a good time!!
I was happy to stumble across it! And it is all done in a jiffy! :) I hope you like it!
