Vertical Taste: Orez in stil asiatic cu lapte de cocos si sofran

Daca esti curios (sau curioasa) ce am mai gatit in ultima vreme, iata, ridic capacul cratitei si poti sa savurezi (cu imaginatia) aroma unui orez salbatic cu legume, o combinatie de ingrediente care imi place mult! Orezul salbatic, folosit in multe retete asiatice, este foarte sanatos si cu un gust deosebit – are o usoara aroma de nuca. Este un aliment ideal nu numai pentru viitoarele mame, ci pentru toata familia, pentru ca este o sursa buna de vitamine si minerale si confera energie. Ca garnitura, in salate sau ca fel principal, asa cum l-am preparat eu, orezul salbatic este delicios – mult mai bun decat orezul alb si chiar decat cel brun! Iar pentru sanatatea femeilor insarcinate iata ce beneficii aduce:
1. Orezul salbatic contine o cantitate aproape dubla de proteine fata de orezul bun, iar, dupa cum se stie, femeile insarcinate au nevoie de multe proteine (mai ales cele care nu suporta carnea, cum este cazul meu).
2. Este foarte bogat in antioxidanti, care ne intaresc imunitatea si ne feresc de boli!
3. Contine acid folic, fosfor si zinc, asa ca doctorul ti-l va recomanda cu siguranta daca esti insarcinata. Iar daca nu esti, tot vei beneficia de energia pe care ti-o furnizeaza aceste minerale si te vei bucura de oase mai puternice.
4. Este excelent pentru digestie, pentru ca are multe fibre. Nu numai femeile insarcinate, ci si cei care au o digestie lenta vor constata imediat o ameliorare a tranzitului intestinal.
5. Este mai sarac in calorii fata de orice alt tip de orez si chiar recomandat in diete! In plus, scade si colesterolul „rau”.
6. Contine vitaminele A, C si E, dar si B3, B6, B9 si este bogat in fier si magneziu. Ce ne-am putea dori mai mult de la un aliment?
7. Poate iti e greu sa crezi, insa orezul salbatic este recomandat in combaterea depresiei si a starilor de irascibilitate, in insomnii si epuizare. Deci este bun pentru femeile insarcinate, pentru cei surmenati sau persoanele care vor sa se reincarce cu energie.
De-asta spuneam ca orezul salbatic este bun pentru toata familia. Tu cum il prepari?

If you are curious what we have cooked lately, here, raise the lid of the saucepan and you can enjoy (with imagination) the aroma of a wild rice with vegetables, a combination of ingredients that I love! Wild rice, used in many Asian recipes, is very healthy and tasteful – it has a slight nutty flavor. It is an ideal food not only for future mothers, but for the whole family because it is a good source of vitamins and minerals and gives energy. As a garnish, in salads or as a main course, as I have prepared it, wild rice is delicious – much better than white rice and even the brown rice! And for the health of pregnant women, here’s what benefits it brings:
1. Wild rice contains almost double the amount of protein to good rice, and pregnant women, as we know, need a lot of protein (especially those that do not support the meat, as is the case).
2. It is very rich in antioxidants, which strengthens our immunity and prevents us from diseases!
3. Contains folic acid, phosphorus and zinc, so the doctor will definitely recommend it if you are pregnant. And if you are not, you will still benefit from the energy that these minerals supply and you will enjoy stronger bones.
4. It is excellent for digestion because it has many fiber. Not only pregnant women, but those who have a slow digestion will immediately find an improvement in intestinal transit.
5. It is deficient in calories compared to any other type of rice and even recommended in diets! In addition, cholesterol “bad” decreases.
6. Contains vitamins A, C and E, but also B3, B6, B9 and is rich in iron and magnesium. What could we want more from a food?
7. It may be hard to believe, but wild rice is recommended to combat depression and irritability, insomnia and exhaustion. So it’s good for pregnant women, surfeits or people who want to recharge.
That’s why we say wild rice is good for the whole family. How do you cook it?

ingredients:

300 g of wild rice
2 leaves celery (apio)
1 red pepper
2 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 courted
