Strawberries, strawberries, strawberries! Wimbledon is in full swing and we just had to share this super tasty dinner recipe. It’s unusual but totally divine.
These delectable red berries are delicious, and our favourite tennis competition gives us another reason to eat them!
Why Are Strawberries So Good For You?
Strawberry lovers, you are in luck. This berry is both delicious and nutritious. You’re basically getting a boost of vitamins C and K, fibre, folic acid, manganese and potassium all in one fruit. They also contain a lot of phytonutrients and flavonoids which gives them their lovely bright red color.
They’ve been used throughout history to reduce digestive problems, help whiten teeth and soothe skin irritations. Plus, they can also help regulate blood sugar levels and increase satiety.
It’s no surprise they are Wimbledon fan favorites.
Roasted Cod With Strawberry Sauce
Credit and thanks to Katie Cavuto for her incredible recipe! We just love it.
Fish and fruit are a really complimentary combination because of their sweet and savoury flavours. And since the Mediterranean Diet has been voted as the number one diet of 2018…you might as well start collecting some new and easy recipes.
Seafood is a huge part of the Med-Diet, and so many of us love eating fish. However, cooking fish can be a little daunting initially. It’s more of a mind game because once you know the basics, cooking fish is really simple.
Katie explains that roasting is the easiest way and can even be done in literally 15 minutes. This is great for really busy ladies and gents who only get home between 18.00 and 19.00 o’clock. Simple recipes like this one are what you need more of!
This dinner only takes about 20 minutes of preparation time in total. And if fish is not something you usually opt for, give this recipe a whizz! Cod is not fishy and has a really mild, sweet flavour.
