Fast and healthy food by Raúl & Ruth

The last day in the English class, we were speaking about food, recipes and typical food in different countries.

We discovered that we haven't got many things in common, Raúl prefers simple recipes and I prefer more elaborated recipes, he doesn't like cooking and I enjoy preparing different and new meals.

At the end of the class we found two common points:

- both prefer fresh and homemade meals against prepared and precooked meals.

- We haven't got enough time for cooking daily meals.

 For this reason both of us always have at home several products that help us to cook fast and healthy food.

And you, which are your cooking preferences?

Raúl's Items
*Pasta, meat, fish, spices, vegetables

With a good mix of all these ingredients we can prepare delicious recipes like lasagne, (bocaditos de carne) meat bites or sushi. Using our imagination we can discover that coking is easier and funnier than we have ever thought.
It is not necessary to follow professional instructions from a chef to find out our special touch and leave all of our friends very impressed about our skills.

Nowdays, it's common not to have much time to prepare meals, but fortunately, there are many gadgets or items to help us cut the ingredients and give a special design at the presentation.

SUSHI
Ingredients:
Rice, fresh fish, vegetables, shellfish, seaweed, meat (sometimes)
Method:
It is the most famous Japanese food, to prepare it, first of all we have to boil the rice and after leave it for a while to get the right temperature.
Cut the rest of the ingredients depending on the roll size you would like to elaborate.
