Shrimp ๐ค with sage & garden vegetables ๐ฟ
Pan-fry the shrimp with garlic and fresh sage leaves until perfectly cooked. At the end, I seasoned them with my chili powder ๐ถ๏ธ๐ฅ for an extra spicy kick.
Boil the potatoes and add fresh broccoli during the last 3 minutes. Finish with a little butter.
And then came my favorite part: a special salad made entirely with vegetables from my garden โ Ethiopian eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum), fresh beetroot, chili ๐ถ๏ธ, dried oregano for extra fiber and purple oregano. Dress everything with good olive oil.
This plate is not only colorful and delicious, but also packed with nutrients. ๐ฅ
Ethiopian eggplant provides fiber, potassium and antioxidant plant compounds. Beetroot is rich in folate, potassium and natural nitrates, while its deep color comes from powerful antioxidants called betalains. Chili adds vitamin C and capsaicin, the compound responsible for its heat. Broccoli brings vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and plenty of fiber, while oregano is packed with aromatic antioxidant compounds.
Together with protein from the shrimp, healthy fats from olive oil and butter, and carbohydrates from potatoes, this makes a wonderfully balanced meal โ fresh, filling and full of vitamins, minerals and plant compounds straight from my garden. ๐ฑ๐ฅ
