There is a simple Swedish dish called Pyttipanna. It means taking all your left overs, cutting them into small cubes and mixing them together in a frying pan, possibly with a fried egg on top. I guess it is the Swedish version of Bubble and squeak. My own take on this is rather more green. To begin with I make sure I have lots of little containers into which I put (separately) cooked quinoa, brown rice, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, lentils, soy beans, roasted squash or sweet potatoes, rocket, chickpeas etc. As you can see the list can be as long as you like – the key is to have enough variety of healthy stuff so that a meal takes approximately 3 minutes to prepare. Line up all the yummy ingredients, take a spoonful from each container and mix together with a grain of your choice – personally I love quinoa and brown rice. Once you’ve filled your plate, add some seeds (sunflower, chia or pumpkin) and chopped nuts over the whole thing. Sprinkle some good quality apple cider vinegar, juice of 1/2 lemon, olive oil and sea salt – alternatively you can have a big dollop of hummus. You can also add some sliced avocado if you need to beef it up further, the sky is the limit so be creative. It is easy, healthy and it hits the spot every time. The key lies in the preparation. Do the prep right and you’ll have a ‘fast food’ meal everyday. If you can’t do without your meat then just add a piece of good quality organic fish or chicken to your plate of vegetables and grains.
