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 HR1871 features
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.
