smc

You could enjoy this at any time of day, but I had it for breakfast and it was very fitting indeed. While steaming some broccoli florets, grind a handful of almonds – not too much though. Warm some olive oil in frying pan on medium heat and add the nuts. Add a teaspoon of turmeric, a sprinkle of cumin, a dusting of sweet smoked paprika and a few caraway seeds. Gently fry until roasted. When the broccoli is tender (not too soft), remove from steam and in a bowl combine with pepper, olive oil and a teaspoon of rose harissa. … Continue reading Jinya’s Warm Broccoli Salad with Roasted Spicy Almond Chunks

Worth pondering? So why are we TOLD to have 3 serves a day?? Who are we going to listen to – the authorities or our bodies??” Are we programmed to be deaf to our body? Are we ever really listened to by our parents if we don’t want to eat something? So do we learn not to listen and then choose not to … Continue reading Hello? Hello?! Are you listening to your body?
