Gluten and wheat free Savoy Burritos.

Now this might sound weird at first but believe me it's a good alternative to the regular wheat or corn wraps: Savoy Burritos.

As I once said before: It's not about skipping, it's about replacing. I want some Burritos and I made it happen.

Savoy Burritos

For this recipe you will need:
  • Savoy
  • Quinoa
  • Onions
  • Carrots
  • Red Bellpepper
  • Cherry Tomatos (not in the picture)
  • Prawns
  • Avocado
  • Spinach



For the Sauce:
  • Greek Joghurt
  • Tahin

Before starting the rest, boil a liter of water. This will be used to soften the Savoy later on. Cut the onions into little pieces.


Sweat them, add the Quinoa and add the boiling water.


You can either add the (frozen) prawns directly into the pot or, as I did, put a bamboo steamer on the Quinoa.


While that is boiling away separate some huge Savoy leafes.


Cut off as much of the stems as possible so it won't be tough to chew later on.


I put the leaves into a bowl and poached them in boiling water. Especially the tough, lower part. Believe me: I once skipped this step. The Burritos weren't so pleasurable to eat.


After the savoy leaves are soft to your liking, dry them and set aside.


Now it's time to cut up allll of your vegetables. After finishing that job, take a bit of your joghurt and mix it with a tea spoon of Tahin. So good!

 
By the time you're done with everything both the prawns and the Quinoa should be done as well.



Let's get ready to rumble!

Crispy Shrimp. It's like fish fingers - only better!

Who doesn't love shrimp? I know I do. They are extremely delicious and low in calories. Today I will show you a super easy way to pimp your shrimp for a party or maybe to put on top of a salad.

Crispy Shrimp:

For this recipe you will need:
  • Shrimp (250g here)
  • 1 Egg
  • Flour
  • Bread Crumbs (You can make them from stale bread if needed, I used organic Whole Wheat bread crumbs)
  • Salt/Spices/Dried herbs

I went a bit to hard on the shrimp while thawing them in the microwave. I think this should work with fresh or slowly thawed shrimp too but oh well, this is what I had to use. So first off: clean the shrimp - you don't want any poop in them.


Prepare three bowls, one with flour, one with a very well spiced and salted egg-mix - this is what gives flavor to your shrimp. I used salt and dried garlic on them. (I used a bit to little, so I advice to keep in mind that this thin layer of this egg is what gives your shrimp their taste.) Finally, a bowl of bread crumbs.


After cleaning the shrimp start by coating a couple at a time with flour ...


... dip them into the egg-mix second ....


... and finally coat them into the bread crumbs (You could also put dried herbs in the crumbs if wanted).


Put the shrimp into the oven ...


... and bake at 150° C until golden and crispy (For me it took around 15 Minutes). Just keep an eye on your shrimp, I'm not exactly sure about how long raw shrimp will need in the oven. When in doubt try one ;)


If you're using Weight Watchers: Half of this recipe has between 6 and 7 ProPoints.

Enjoy and be sexy,
Anna
