Christmas is a time characterised, among other things, by Food and dinners that we organise at this time of year. It is very common to break away from the usual eating routine of the rest of the year. We have larger meals in which we also consume products that are less healthy for our bodies. For this reason, after these festive periods we pay special attention to taking care of our diet again with healthier and even lighter meals. Therefore, we are going to talk about some recipes that are ideal for after Christmas.
Minced meat soup
Let's start by talking about the minced meat soup. A dish in which the main ingredient is the chicken, which will be accompanied by other foods such as boiled egg, leek, carrots, ham and a salted bone.
To make it, it's as simple as peeling and washing the carrot and leek and putting them in a pot along with salted chicken and bone. We simmer it all together for about an hour and that would be one part of the preparation done. Because on the other hand we are going to prepare the eggs and the soup. As for the eggs, we just have to boil them.
Meanwhile, we will obtain the soup by cooking the chicken with the carrot and the leek. And when the cooking is finished, we will strain it and keep it the broth. Once we have everything prepared separately, we will put it all together in the same saucepan and place it on the heat. That is, the stock, the meat, the ham, the egg and peppermint. We cook it on the heat and it will be ready to serve.
Braised lentils with beetroot
The lentils it is the second option we are going to talk about to recover from Christmas. To do this, we will have several products such as onion, celery, beetroot, olive oil, carrots, cloves of garlic, fresh thyme, black pepper, salt, a bay leaf and, of course, lentils.
The preparation starts from the basis of preparing each product, that is, peeling and cutting the onion, carrot, celery and beetroot. For the cooking, we will heat the olive oil in a pan where we are going to sauté the carrot, beetroot, celery and onion first for five minutes, before adding the lentils, bay leaf, thyme and garlic. After another five minutes, we add the stock and then simmer.
Boiled with dried peppers
Let's finish with another dish that is as delicious as it is healthy, a boiled with dried peppers. A dish that will feature potato, chard, peppers and eggs. To prepare it, we will start with the potatoes, which, after peeling and cutting them, we will boil in water. Afterwards, we will add the peppers. Finally, we will add the chard.
On the other hand, we prepare the boiled eggs. When both preparations are finished, we serve them on the plate and add olive oil, salt and vinegar, and the dish will be ready.
