Pretty light at night ? Well here’s a recipe for you! The bulgur with oriental flavours is a fairly light dish with its steamed vegetables. It is low in fat but still tasty ! The selected spices raise the dish just right and the sauce is light in broth.
I like this kind of colorful dish. They are beautiful and good, simple and effective ! To come to the table is also to have the pleasure to please the eyes, and it is very simple to prepare a plate nicely. For that I like to keep my preparations each separately until the training. With all the elements I train according to the desire of the moment. It’s all silly but it feels good for the morale and the other members of the family appreciate the beautiful plates, they have even more pleasure to pass to table. It is one of the steps I integrate into my concept of “holistic cooking” that I will tell you about in my book.
If you also like to decorate your plates and if you have nice tips, send me a little note and tag your @nawaili recipes on social networks, I will be delighted to see your achievements !
In the meantime, let’s eat! Can you smell the mixture of all the spices? Mmmm, we’re going to treat ourselves, folks !
