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.

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.

Made with a delicious combination of rice, cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup and broccoli florets, this quick and easy version of Broccoli and Cheese Rice Casserole is an ideal one-pot dish to keep the holidays simple. With three easy steps and everyday ingredients, it comes together with minimal effort for traditional casserole taste.

When it comes to feeding a crowd, it’s often best to let your oven do the work. This Brussels Sprouts and Ham Rice Gratin recipe allows you to serve up a filling favorite with little effort using pantry staples. Plus, it’s a kid-friendly way to encourage veggies at this year’s holiday meal with gooey cheese providing tempting taste bud motivation.

These seasonal classics and more are made quick and easy with an option like Success Boil-in-Bag Rice, a pre-measured, mess-free way to make fluffy, high-quality rice. It’s cooked by simply dropping a bag of rice in a pot of water or broth then boiling it for 10 minutes. BPA-free and FDA-approved, the bags are safe to use and made to withstand high temperatures.

4 Ways to Enjoy Fresher Foods at Home

Fresher Foods at Home: Knowing your food was grown from the earth and nurtured by the sun and rain can add a whole new dimension of enjoyment to your meals, which processed foods often can’t replicate. Recipes like these Chicken and Avocado Rollups can be an easy solution for putting fresh foods like avocados on the menu.

4 Ways to Enjoy Fresher Foods at Home

4 Ways to Enjoy Fresher Foods at Home

(Feature Impact) Fresh fruits and vegetables add color, nourishment and satisfaction to life. Knowing your food was grown from the earth and nurtured by the sun and rain can add a whole new dimension of enjoyment to your meals, which processed foods often can’t replicate.

However, if you’ve ever bought a cart full of produce with the best intentions – only to watch as half of it goes bad before you’ve managed to use it – you aren’t alone. Eating fresh foods is often easier in your healthy-eating dreams than in reality. With small habit changes, though, you can transform your household into a place where fresh, whole-food ingredients are at the center of your daily routines.

Consider these suggestions from the fresh produce experts at Avocados from Colombia.

https://stmdailynews.com/cozy-up-with-comforting-soups-and-stews/

Shop with a Plan

Meal-planning before you shop can help ensure every ingredient you buy has a purpose within its shelf life. Instead of picking out fruits and vegetables with vague aspirations of figuring out something to do with them later, you can simply consult your list and remember you need peppers, onions and avocados for that breakfast burrito recipe you want to try.

Pay Attention to Where Food Comes From

The source of your food can make a big difference in its freshness. When produce is grown and harvested with care then shipped quickly to its destination, it preserves quality and simplifies the journey from the farm to your table.

Consider fresh fruits like Avocados from Colombia, which aren’t just grown but raised at high altitude in rich volcanic soil, nourished by mountain rain and harvested by the hands of growers who care about their land and their craft. The fruit reaches U.S. shipping ports in as little as 3-5 days, so you can confidently choose flavorful produce that arrives as fresh as possible from beautiful Colombian orchards.

With two harvest seasons across nine growing regions, fresh Colombian avocados can be enjoyed throughout the entire year, whether you want to serve bright guacamole or dice an avocado as a cool, creamy topping for a warm winter chili.

Use Fresh Ingredients in a Variety of Ways

It’s always easier to use fresh ingredients when you’re brimming with ideas of things to do with them. For instance, avocados can be transformed into guacamole, creamy salad dressing or flavorful sauces; sliced for use in grain bowls, salads or avocado toast; or frozen to blend into smoothies. This also makes it easier to buy produce in bulk or take advantage of sales.

Find Inspiration Online

Recipes like these Chicken and Avocado Rollups can be an easy solution for putting fresh avocados on the menu, offering the type of everyday joy the growers behind Avocados from Colombia hope you taste. Their new “Raised by Colombia” short film puts faces to that idea, following Don Hernando, a grower of 40 harvests, and his granddaughter Camila, who brought the science of growing home. It ends where your avocado does: at a family table, where the grandmother of the house serves it in a kitchen like yours.
