Nutre las conexiones familiares con cada bocado: Mejore la salud social, emocional y física con recetas con base en huevos

Cenar juntos semanalmente reduce el estrés, fortalece la autoestima y promueve la conexión familiar. Iniciativa “Together Tuesdays” de la American Heart Association destaca comidas con huevos.

Published

Recetas inspiradas en huevos

(Family Features) Cenar juntos, brillar juntos. Las comidas semanales a la mesa con la familia pueden reducir el estrés, aumentar la autoestima y hacer que todos se sientan más conectados, todo mientras comparten alimentos deliciosos, saludables y fáciles de preparar.

Bríndele a su familia la oportunidad de reponer fuerzas y reconectarse cada semana con recetas que unan a todos. Ya sean 10 personas o dos, las investigaciones muestran que quienes disfrutan de comidas frecuentes con otras personas, particularmente padres con sus hijos, tienen un mejor bienestar social y emocional, según la American Heart Association.

Disfrutar de una buena conversación y de la compañía es la esencia de cada comida, y con los platillos adecuados, puede hacer que cada bocado sea tan delicioso como nutritivo. Los ingredientes como los huevos son asequibles, fáciles de usar y versátiles, lo que los convierte en la opción perfecta en la cocina para ayudarle a generar conversación.

Las yemas de huevo cocidas con delicadeza son el centro de atención en esta receta de raviolis de huevo con salvia y almendras, y los delicados huevos pochados descansan sobre granos integrales en la receta de huevos pochados con bulgur al pesto. Si el desayuno es el mejor momento del día para reunirse con los tuyos, prepare estos tazones de desayuno con quínoa y huevo al estilo del suroeste para añadir proteínas y fibra.

Estas recetas con base en huevos y más son parte de la iniciativa Together Tuesdays y Healthy for Good Eat Smart de la American Heart Association, apoyada a nivel nacional por Eggland’s Best. Ambas iniciativas enfatizan la importancia de reunirse al menos una vez por semana alrededor de la mesa con familiares o amigos para satisfacer los deseos de conexión, una comida deliciosa y una vida saludable en general.

Además de los beneficios sociales y emocionales de comer juntos, las comidas familiares compartidas pueden ayudar a promover opciones más saludables en la mesa.

Según la American Heart Association, los huevos, por ejemplo, pueden incluirse como parte de una dieta saludable para el corazón que enfatice verduras, frutas, nueces y semillas, cereales integrales, proteínas magras y pescado. Recuerde no aislar un alimento, no se trata solo del huevo, sino también de lo que se come junto con él. Por ejemplo, comer huevos junto con alimentos ricos en grasas saturadas, como el tocino, es diferente a comer huevos con verduras al vapor, granos integrales o una guarnición de fruta.

Para obtener más ideas de recetas saludables para el corazón y temas de conversación para hacer de Together Tuesdays una tradición en su casa, visite heart.org/together.

Raviolis de huevo con salvia y almendras

Receta cortesía de la American Heart Association
Raciones: 4

  • 8 tazas de agua
  • 1/2 taza de queso ricotta sin grasa
  • 1 cucharada de queso parmesano rallado
  • 1 1/2 cucharaditas de tomillo fresco picado
  • 1/2 cucharadita de ralladura de naranja
  • 1/4 cucharadita de pimienta negra
  • 8 envoltorios de gyoza, shumai o wonton
  • 4 yemas de huevo grandes, enteras
  • 1 clara de huevo grande, ligeramente batida
  • 2 cucharaditas de aceite de oliva
  • 1/4 taza de almendras en rodajas, picadas
  • 1 cucharada de salvia fresca picada
  • 1 cucharada de pimiento rojo finamente picado (opcional)
  1. Llene una olla grande con agua. Ponga el agua a hervir lentamente a fuego medio-alto.
  2. En un tazón mediano, mezcle el queso ricotta, el queso parmesano, el tomillo, la ralladura de naranja y la pimienta.
  3. Coloque cuatro envoltorios con el lado enharinado hacia abajo sobre una tabla de cortar. Coloque 1 1/2 cucharada de mezcla de queso en el centro de cada envoltorio. Usando el dorso de una cuchara, presione la mezcla de queso para crear un hueco de aproximadamente 1 1/2 pulgada de ancho (el ancho de una yema de huevo grande), dejando al menos 1/2 pulgada de espacio alrededor de los bordes del envoltorio. Sin romperla, coloque con cuidado una yema de huevo en el centro de cada hueco.
  4. Con una brocha de pastelería, unte los bordes de los envoltorios con clara de huevo. Coloque un envoltorio en la parte superior con el lado enharinado hacia arriba sobre cada envoltorio inferior. Usando los pulgares y los índices, presione firmemente los bordes para sellar herméticamente cada ravioli. Poner a un lado.
  5. Con una espátula o cuchara ranurada, vierta con cuidado cada ravioli en el agua hirviendo. Cocine durante 2 1/2 a 3 minutos o hasta que los envoltorios estén al dente (cocidos, no demasiado blandos, pero tampoco demasiado cocidos). Con una cuchara ranurada, retire suavemente los raviolis de la olla, escurriéndolos bien. Colóquelos en los platos. Rocíe con aceite. Espolvorear con almendras, salvia y pimiento morrón, si lo desea.

Consejos: Se prefieren los envoltorios de gyoza (o de shumai) porque son más delgados que los envoltorios de wonton. Busque envoltorios de gyoza en el pasillo de productos lácteos, en el departamento de delicatessen o en la sección de congelados.

Utilice estas pautas para determinar cómo desea que se cocinen los huevos: A los 2 minutos y medio, los huevos están amarillos y ligeramente espesos, pero no duros en los bordes, similares a los fritos. A los 3 minutos, los huevos tienen un color naranja más oscuro y están ligeramente cocidos en los bordes, similares a los que se cocinan a la plancha.

Huevos pochados con bulgur al pesto

Receta cortesía de la American Heart Association
Raciones: 4

  • 2/3 taza de bulgur instantáneo o de grano fino crudo
  • 1 1/3 tazas, más 2 cucharadas, de caldo vegetal sin grasa y bajo en sodio, dividido
  • 1 taza de albahaca fresca bien compacta
  • 2 cucharadas de nueces picadas, tostadas secas
  • 1 diente de ajo pequeño, picado
  • 1/8 cucharadita de sal
  • 1 pizca de pimienta cayena
  • 1/2 taza de pimiento morrón amarillo o rojo finamente picado
  • 1/4 taza de cebollas verdes cortadas en rodajas finas
  • 4 tazas de agua
  • 1 cucharada de vinagre blanco
  • 4 huevos grandes
  • 1 limón mediano, cortado en 4 gajos
  1. En una cacerola mediana, prepare el bulgur según las instrucciones del paquete, omitiendo la sal y sustituyendo el agua por 1 1/3 tazas de caldo. Mezclar con un tenedor.
  2. En un procesador de alimentos o licuadora, procese la albahaca, las nueces, el ajo, la sal, la cayena y el caldo restante hasta que quede suave. Incorpore la mezcla de albahaca, pimiento morrón y cebollas verdes al bulgur.
  3. En una sartén grande, ponga a hervir el agua y el vinagre a fuego alto. Disminuya el fuego y deje cocinar a fuego lento. Rompa un huevo en una taza y luego deslícelo con cuidado en el agua hirviendo a fuego lento. Repita con los huevos restantes, colocándolos en agua de forma que no se toquen. Cocine a fuego lento durante 3 a 5 minutos o hasta que las claras estén completamente listas y las yemas comiencen a cocinarse pero no estén duras. Con una cuchara con ranuras, escurra bien los huevos y colóquelos sobre la mezcla de bulgur. Servir con rodajas de limón.

Nota: El vinagre blanco ayuda a reafirmar las claras de huevo rápidamente, evitando que se extiendan demasiado.

Tazones de desayuno con quínoa y huevo al estilo del suroeste

Receta cortesía de la American Heart Association
Raciones: 4

  • 1/4 taza de quínoa cruda, lavada y escurrida
  • 2 tomates medianos (aproximadamente 2 tazas), picados
  • 1 taza de maíz congelado sin sal agregada, descongelado
  • 1/2 aguacate mediano, sin semilla y cortado en cubitos
  • 1/4 taza de cebollas verdes picadas
  • 1/2 taza de cilantro fresco picado (opcional)
  • aerosol antiadherente para cocinar
  • 4 huevos grandes
  • 1/8 cucharadita de sal
  • 1/4 cucharadita de pimienta
  • salsa de pimiento rojo picante, al gusto (opcional)
  1. Cocine la quínoa según las instrucciones del paquete. Retire del calor.
  2. Coloque la quínoa con una cuchara en cuatro tazones. Cubra cada uno con cantidades iguales de tomates, maíz, aguacate, cebollas verdes y cilantro, si lo desea.
  3. Rocíe ligeramente una sartén grande con aceite en aerosol antiadherente y caliéntela a fuego medio-alto. Rompa los huevos en la sartén. Espolvorear con sal y pimienta. Cocine sin tapar durante 3 a 4 minutos o hasta que las claras estén firmes pero las yemas aún estén líquidas. Con una espátula, transfiera con cuidado un huevo, con el lado dorado hacia arriba, a cada recipiente. Espolvorear con salsa picante, al gusto, si se desea.
