Anti-Inflammatory Risotto

Auto-immune friendly.

2 servings.

1/4 cup of black rice

1/4 cup of white rice

1 tsp of turmeric powder

A coin size piece of ginger peeled

1/4 tsp pink salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 cup coconut milk

1/2 cup of water

Combine the black and white rice and soak in a bowl of water for about 2 hours. Rinse well a few times.

In a medium cooking pot with a lid, boil the water and coconut milk combined. Add the spices and stir in whilst heating. Return the lid. Once the liquid is rolling, add the washed and strained rice mixture and stir through. Now leave the lid off.

Keep checking the rice as it cooks and absorbs the liquid and stir it around from time to time. Once you hear the rice has absorbed the liquid, with a crackling sound, stir to see it is not sticking to the bottom and there isn’t any liquid left. Turn off the heat.

The texture will be creamy, risotto like.

Half of this is one serving. You can add chopped cucumbers, dark leafy greens poached eggs, or tuna for a savoury breakfast. Or have it plain with a tbsp of raw honey on top and a chopped peach or berries. Great for chilly winter mornings or nights. Perfectly gluten-free and antioxidant rich.

Is there such a thing as super-food?

Dear Reader,
You will have noticed that I haven’t put many pictures of fruit and vegetables on my website. Albeit: I’ve pictures up of delicious desserts and flamboyant, fancy coffee!

Depending on the occasion, they all are superfoods! Fruit and veggies, cake and coffee. Super food can be subjective.

Yes. Of course wellness and well-being are all about eating whole foods first. The primary sources of nutrition that are always superfoods are those grown in the sun, soil and on trees; that have been made with the help of birds, butterflies and bees.

If you sign-up for coaching sessions for any of of the problems mentioned on the mind-map, natural superfoods are what you will be eating.
No doubt.

However food is medicine. The poison is in the dose. And we are more than just a body. Coaching through a Being-Well lens means knowing when to have your cake guilt-free, because I know how hard it is to make switches in your diet when you eat for health’s sake. Giving up on your daily biscuit at tea time can be depressing. It weighs on your mental health. It can even lead to a tantrum.

If you learn not to gratify your desires instantly, and know the occasions of when you can have creamy, dreamy pudding, then temptations won’t govern your mind. Our sessions together will help train your mind to be patient by recognising your triggers and eat with intention to heal.


Make sense?
