Ideas for Quick, Organic Dinners
We all have extremely hectic schedules, so it can be tempting to order delivery or microwave a prepared meal. However, it is advisable to prepare food from fresh if you want to stay healthy and in fighting shape. And using organic foods is even better. Foods that are organic have not undergone any chemical processing and are therefore entirely natural. They are significantly more nutritious and have greater flavour.
We also want to maintain our health as much as we can given our hectic lives. Consuming fresh, organic food makes sense on all levels. What can you presently rapidly prepare that is organic, healthful, and ready to eat?
Cook in a series
Cooking in bulk is one method to guarantee that you have something prepared. Why not spend several hours preparing all of your favourite meals, portioning them up, and freezing them?
An organic Basic Ragu sauce is a fantastic go-to in the freezer. Follow this simple recipe and adjust the serving sizes as needed.
a pair of 400g cans of diced tomatoes (organic)
Celery sticks, two (chopped)
two carrots (peeled and diced)
onion two (peeled and finely chopped)
100g brown organic mushrooms (finely sliced)
1 garlic clove, coarsely grated
Bay leaf, one
A few basil leaves (preferred but not required); alternatively, you might use dried basil.
one water glass
2 teaspoons of pureed organic tomatoes
Extra virgin olive oil 30 ml
A few grinds of black pepper and Himalayan salt as seasoning
(250g organic, grass-fed turkey, beef, or lamb mince)
1. In olive oil, sauté celery, mushrooms, carrots, garlic, and onions. (At this point, add the meat if you’re using beef, lamb, or turkey.
2. Add the canned tomatoes, herbs, tomato puree, water, and seasoning after the veggies and meat are soft and browned. At this point, Quorn mince can be added if desired.
3. After combining the ingredients, slowly simmer the mixture for 30 minutes. To prevent it from sticking, don’t forget to stir occasionally.
4. Before freezing, remove the bay leaf.
The following dishes can be made with this base:
To make spaghetti or bolognaise, prepare organic or whole-wheat pasta.
For Cottage Pie (Beef) or Shepherd’s Pie, top with organic potatoes that have been boiled and mashed (Lamb).
This traditional lamb meal really sings when homegrown mint is used in place of basil.
Why not switch it up and use organic, mashed sweet potatoes, swede, or both?
For a tasty chilli con carne, combine a can of organic kidney beans with some chilli powder and serve it with boiling organic brown rice.
The ideal quick food is eggs that have been raised naturally.
Who doesn’t adore a frittata, after all? You can make tonight’s dinner from leftovers that have been languishing in the back of the refrigerator.
10 eggs
Onion (chopped)
2 smashed garlic cloves
25g butter made from grass
200g of organic, cooked vegetables. I advise asparagus, peppers, mushrooms, wilted spinach, or kale (or anything else you fancy).
50g of grated cheese, preferably goat, feta, or cheddar.
Black pepper and Himalayan salt
Extras to add a little more zing to your frittata – chopped herbs like basil, thyme, or chives, or how about a dash of cayenne or chilli powder?
1. If not already cooked, briefly steam or sauté the desired vegetable(s) in extra virgin olive oil.
2. Drain everything well, especially spinach and kale.
3. In the butter, soften the onion and garlic.
4. Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Cheese, seasoning, and any more herbs or spices can be added.
5. Mix the onions with the cooked vegetables.
6. After adding the egg mixture to the pan, swirl it thoroughly to combine everything. Cook the base and sides for around 5 minutes.
7. After that, place it under a hot grill for an additional 5 minutes to cook the top.
8. Take out and cut into parts. Serve this dish hot, chilled, with salad, or by itself.
There you have it, then. a few organic, time-saving dinner suggestions that can be customised. Enjoy
