Food For Taut – Cabbage Soup

Soups are a great way to incorporate veggies, you would want to avoid otherwise, in your diet.
This recipe of Cabbage soup is a great mix of many vegetables and is shockingly very tasty too. After I made it for dinner one day, Varun asked if there was some soup left for the next day!!
That convinced me that I wasn’t hallucinating about the soup tasting really good.
So I thought that this recipe was definitely worth sharing!

All the ingredients are immensely nutritious and all you dieters can even make it a part of your cabbage soup diet. It’s easy to make, delicious and you’re left with a full and happy tummy.

Food For Taut – Baked Tilapia & Turnip Greens

(Recipe of Baked Tilapia & Side of Turnip Greens)Heyo!! Back with another recipe in the ‘Food For Taut’ Segment.

We are making Baked Tilapia & a side of Turnip Greens. The recipe is very simple and quick to make.
Tilapia is a very healthy option for dinner. Not only is it high in protein but also is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which provides essential nutrients for our health. Most importantly, at least for me, it tastes simply delicious!

 

Here is the recipe for Baked Tilapia. It requires very basic ingredients which you can easily find in your kitchen.
I served it with a simple side of turnip greens ( Recipe courtesy of Mr. Varun Govande ) which made it a wholesome meal.

 

This is all you need-

For the Baked Fish-

*Cayenne Pepper is preferred but you can substitute it with Paprika or Red Chili Powder.


For the Turnip greens-
 
  • Turnip Greens- 2 bunches
  • Minced Garlic– 1 tbsp
  • Vinegar – 1 tsp
  • Black pepper & Salt to taste
  • Olive Oil– 1 tsp

This is how we do it-

Baked Fish

  1. Pre-heat the oven at 400 degree centigrade.
  2. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and baste it with olive oil.
  3. Rub the fish fillets with salt, pepper, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Coat it with minced garlic. Let it sit at least for 30 minutes.
  4. Place the fish fillets on the baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes.There is no need to flip the fish.

Turnip Greens

  1. Wash the turnip greens and chop them roughly.
  2. Heat some oil in a pan and on a low flame, add minced garlic.
  3. Increase the heat to medium and mix in the turnip greens.
  4. Add vinegar, salt and black pepper powder. Sauté for a minute.
  5. As the leaves of the turnip get reduced in size, stir in the vinegar and cook for 1/2 a minute.
  6. Serve it with the Baked Tilapia.
I hope you try the recipe and make it part of your regular diet. The recipe is extremely savory and definitely an amazing bargain for all the health benefits it provides.
 
Happy Cooking!

Food for taut: Garlicky shrimp and mixed greens salad

(Recipe of Garlic Shrimp & Mixed Greens Salad)Every once in a while I get motivated to cook something healthy.
Usually the motivation is triggered by the increasing trend in my weight chart(how I wish it was my investment graph).
Or the fact that I have managed to develop a ball like appearance lately & started resembling Danny Devito (No offense to Mr. Devito, he’s a classic actor and I love him!)

Recently I have found some pretty good recipes which are both healthy AND tasty.
So in the spirit of sharing the importance of good health and making my blog fatter, I’m gonna post atleast 1 genuinely healthy and easy to make recipe every month.

Let’s start with Garlic Shrimp and Mixed Greens Salad.

Garlicky Shrimp-

Perfect Combination of 2 things i love….Garlic and Shrimp!
Though garlic lends a very intense taste to the shrimp, it does it without masking the real flavour of the shrimp.

You will need-

  • Shrimp-1 pound/0.5 kg
  • Garlic-4-5 cloves(finely chopped)
  • Butter- 1tsp.
  • Chili Flakes-1/2 tsp.
  • Black Pepper Powder & Salt to taste
  • Chopped Cilantro 
How it’s done-
  • Peel and devein the shrimp.
  • Rub salt and pepper onto the shrimp and set aside for 10 minutes.
  • In a pan heat 1 tbsp oil on high heat.
  • Add shrimp to it and cook for a couple of minutes. Make sure the shrimp is dry.
  • Add minced garlic and sauté till shrimp is almost cooked.
  • Add butter and chili flakes.The shrimp should cook in about 7-8 minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Mixed Greens Salad-

You can use any green vegetables or salad leaves.
I used a mix of baby kale, spinach, chard beet tops and some baby tomatoes.
You could also take lettuce, cucumbers, onions, bell peppers etc.

Dressing- Apple cider vinaigrette

Any sort of vinaigrette would go really well with this salad.
I did a simple apple cider vinaigrette with the following-

  • Apple cider vinegar- 2 tsps (Be sure not to go overboard with the vinegar quantity, as it’s flavour tends be overwhelming)
  • Honey/Sugar- 1 tsp
  • Extra Virgin olive oil- 1tsp
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all of the above together and toss in all of the salad leaves.
Toss and mix it gently and serve it with yummy Gar-licky shrimpies.

Happy Cooking!
