After a long day of work, it is tempting to skip making dinner and just have some ready-made soup or pasta and sauce or even a frozen pizza. But it’s actually possible to make fast, easy, healthy, tasty meals. I aim for balanced meals that have some carbohydrates, plenty of vegetables, and some protein. For example, here I lightly fry halloumi cheese and serve it over quinoa grains and with broccoli and spinach. It makes a pretty green, white, and tan meal, and it’s fast to cook. Within 20 minutes, dinner is served.
Ingredients:
1 head broccoli
water
1 package quinoa (or about 50 g per person)
100 g spinach
1 package halloumi cheese
olive oil
1 tsp dried mint
Instructions:
1. Wash the broccoli, break it into smaller pieces, and boil it in the water for 8-10 minutes, until tender but with a bit of crunch.
2. Cook the quinoa according to the directions on the package. When it’s ready, add the spinach and the broccoli and keep it all warm.
3. Meanwhile, slice the cheese, then fry it in olive oil and mint, until lightly golden.
4. Serve the quinoa and vegetables topped with slices of cheese.
