Beetroot was always considered the enemy of diets because of its sweet taste however I consider it a very healthy veggie known to lower blood pressure and to help athletic performances.
I had this beetroot salad at Bagatelle Dubai and found it perfect for a late night dinner as it is light and filling coupled with a tuna tartare.
Organic peanut butter has a different texture than normal varieties as the oil tends to separate from the butter.
I usually collect the oil and use it for some Asian recipes. When the oil is removed peanut butter hardens and becomes similar to halawa (oriental sweet paste ). I prepared this recipe using one tablespoon of peanut butter crumble along with dried cranberries.
It is the perfect desert to fight sugar cravings as it is high in proteins and keeps you full for a long time.
I had this salad at under500 Dubai .
It is very light and fresh and is perfectly suitable for hot weathers.
You can couple it with grilled chicken to add some proteins or just stick to a vegetarian dish.
Engineers of all kinds are controlling crops in order to harvest good-looking apples or cucumbers. Corn is invading everything we eat or drink from juices to biscuits to serve market demand rather than nutrition. Cornfields became genetic labs with standardized produce; weather forecast is no longer the farmer’s biggest concern but the need to acquire knowledge in the latest pesticides and insecticides for mass production.
Organic products have a minimum exposure to chemicals thus bringing us back to traditional agricultural methods thus preserving biodiversity.
