After the 24 hours soaking it took me less than 25 minutes to cook it and it tasted better than I expected. I think I found a pasta replacement, it's heathier ... I believe ... it doesn't take longer time to cook it, it tastes much better ... imagine pasta without meat or cheese it has no taste ... and last it's same price if not cheeper.

Salad with tuna fish

Introduction

During a practical in Human and Animal Physiology I learned that when you are getting sick you should reduce the consumption of foods, especially heavy meals. It sounds logical because imagine how much energy will be left for your body to fight the infection, the flu or whatever if all your blood is concentrated in the stomach digesting a juicy steak with butter champignon sause, for example. So, now as I am getting a cold and ... I am also getting blonder btw ... a salad!

Materials

Green salad, or iceberg or something green with huge leaves
Tomatoe
Tuna fish in oil
Lemon
Black pepper

Pocedure

1. Cut the salad and the tomatoe in large pieces
2. Add tuna fish and mix
3. Spice with lemon juice and black pepper

Result


Discussion

It tastes good and it is refreshing and it took me less than 2 min to prepare it ... maybe I should switch to salads forever ...
