DESCRIPTION
This… was… DELICIOUS! So juicy, flavoursome, textured and great for you. First and foremost, the simplicity of pan fried Salmon with skin is a perfect blend of flavour, healthy fats and meatiness to satisfy even those who are not too keen on fish. Then, by taking out all the seeds and baking the Beef Tomato, you remove the substances that can upset stomachs (the Lectins) whilst retaining an intense juiciness. The Chilli and Lime Rice soaks up the juice of the Tomato, whilst offering the starchy carb to round off the plate perfectly. Such a taste explosion – you’ve got to try it! Lastly, gently cook the amazingly tasty Tender Stem Broccoli and Baby Leeks, and finish them in some butter, for the best tasting greens you can get. 😋
For a smaller portion, drop to 1x Beef Tomato, 1x Salmon Fillet, 125g Rice and 30g of Hummus, which would save you 469 calories.
