Too Busy to Cook?

Whilst mums and dads know that home-cooked food is best for their children, they can be put off eating real, home-cooked food as it can be too consuming to prepare. In the busy life-style of many parents, cooking from scratch seems like a no-can-do task.

The tradition of home-cooked dinners has declined and now crisps and frozen pizza are on the weekly menu of 6-8 year olds.

It’s a shame that children are eating convenience foods regularly from such early age as, apart from the health implications, it also means that youngsters are unaware of the benefits of preparing fresh meals.

At Taskhub we want to encourage parents to stop turning to takeaways and instead make homemade meals. So here’s a quick recipe for a healthy meal that only takes 15 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook.

Spinach, Mushroom & Lemon Pilaf

Ingredients

200g spinach, washed & roughly chopped

lemon, zested and juiced

2 garlic cloves, crushed

50g butter

250g basmati rice

150g chestnut mushrooms, sliced

2 onions, finely sliced

1 cinnamon stick

4 whole cloves

4 bruised cardamom pods

Method 

Cook the onion and garlic in the butter in a large shallow pan until soft and golden.

Add the mushrooms and cook until softened.

Add the spices and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the rice, lemon zest and stock. Cover.

 Cook on a gentle heat for about 15 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed.

 Stir through the spinach and lemon juice, cover for 2 minutes until wilted.

Serve.

Achieving a better balance in life is not as hard as it sounds and does not have to involve adding more to your to do list.
