Holy
Week calls for an entire week of fasting and abstinence. This means that your
list of meal choices gets drastically trimmed down. But there are still plenty
of meals you can whip up at home that are still scrumptious but guilt-free.
Here are some great dishes with their corresponding recipes to try out courtesy
of Philips.
Prepare
a simple pasta dish with portabello mushrooms for the family this Holy Week and
stay true to your fasting and abstinence duties. Usually an extender for meat
dishes, the mushroom will surely provide a healthy alternative from the usual
meaty pasta. Definitely this will be one of the go-to dishes for an entire
week.
But
just because you have to abstain from meat, doesn’t mean you have to forego
nutrients. Seal in all the nutrients of all the ingredients of the pasta dish
as well as every meal you wish to cook with the Philips Induction Cooker
HD4932.
By
utilizing 2100 W high power for fast heating, the Philips Induction Cooker
HD4932 reduces 1/3 of your cooking time, which ultimately results in more
nutrients sealed in your food. It quickly starts cooking at the touch of the
start key and is also extra safe for children with its cool-to-touch surface.
Another
great meal you can’t afford not to cook for the Holy Week is something freshly
steamed. If you’re fond of steamed dishes, steamed lapu-lapu (grouper fish)
might’ve instantly popped into your head already.
Fish
in itself is already a healthy and delicious meal. But for it to be steamed
instead of fried only makes it even more mouth-watering and rich with
nutrients.
Boost
the flavor of your steamed lapu-lapu with your own combination of herbs and
spices using the Philips Food Steamer HD9140. Its Flavour Booster improves
steamed food with delectable herbs and spices without doing anything more than
popping herbs into the booster. The steamer requires little effort to operate
with its digital timer and a Keep Warm function to keep food ready for serving
all the time.
Finally,
what’s a healthy Holy Week meal without the finest fruit juices? Make tasty and
fresh fruit juices at home without any hassle using the Philips Juicer HR1871.
The
Philips Juicer HR1871features an extra large feeding tube that allows whole
fruits and vegetables to be put in and juiced without pre-cutting or peeling.
It is also easy to use and clean, and produces 10% more juice compared to other
juicers. It can also juice up to 2.5 liters of juice in one go without having
to empty the pulp container. A powerful 800 W motor ensures that you can juice
even the toughest ingredients. Try mixing a unique recipe of organic pineapple,
ginger and apple juice or mix and match your own fruits and veggies with the
family.
Make
abstinence and fasting something to look forward to with these healthy yet
guilt-free recipes for the entire family.And amid all the vacation plans for
the Holy Week, be sure to remind yourself that the Holy Week is also a time
dedicated to reflection.
