Parvathy Omanakuttan Instagram – What do I make for lunch that is quick and easy yet filling and tasty??? That is always my dilemma. Usually I would say I don’t have this ingredient or the other but today I decided to use whatever I have and come up with something absolutely gobsmacking… (reminded me of our market kitchen during my culinary school where we had to make a dish using what we have within a specific time) So I pulled out my chefs knife, put a pan with water to heat and while the water boiled, I chopped up some veggies. I tossed some whole sugar peas (mattar), heated some black beans that I had previously cooked and refrigerated in the same water and again used the same pot and water to cook some soba noodles (buckwheat). I had no lemons so used oranges instead to make a simple dressing using some spices and herbs and a tsp of homemade hazelnut oil (which happened totally by accident but tastes super yumm … more on that later) For now read the ingredients and toss up this super healthy salad for yourself and for your loved ones – Bon Apetit Ingredients :- Buckwheat Noodles 100 gms or one and half bundles (cooks in 4-5 mins max) Black beans – 1 cup (meal prep comes in handy always) Snow peas – 10 to 12 (whole with the pod and the peas tastes crunchy and sweet) Carrot -1 Zucchini – 1/2 Cucumber – 1 Celery sticks – 1-2 {all cut into thin long strips} (use a veggie slicer if you have one) Celery leaves – Finely chopped Sumac – 1-2 Tsp (you can add anaardaana instead for the sour ness) Thyme – 1 Tsp Oregano – 1 Tsp Salt to taste Pepper to taste Fresh juice of 2 oranges Hazelnut oil infused with chocolate (1 Tbsp) Method: Toss all veggies into a big bowl and add the cooked sugar peas, black beans, soba (buckwheat) noodles along with the herbs and spices. Add the orange juice and oil (you can use any oil of your choice) And enjoy the freshness that will tingle your senses. 😍 #food #yummy #foodie #delicious #homemade #yum #lunch #dinner #instagram #instafood #love #feedyoursoul #foodblogger #dubai #cleaneating #veganfood #glutenfree #plantbaseddiet #eattherainbow #health #chef #instachef #recipeoftheday #makeityours #gourmetartistry #foodnetwork #eat #lovefood #bonapetit
