With the heat of the summer and the fact that we have longer days, many times we
would like to eat something light as well as
later in the evening. Ideally speaking, a quick easy dinner as well as an easy
healthy dinner. Here is a healthy food recipe
for a quick meal.
Based upon one of my favorite marinades, this healthy food recipe is a quick
easy dinner that can be made for 1 or more
people (if you are entertaining). What I did earlier this week was prepare
halibut over brown and wild rice mixed with dates
and served green beans on the side. This easy healthy dinner took no time at all
to make.
The ingredients to use for this quick meal are:
1 portion of halibut
Brown rice
Wild Rice
Dates
Green Beans
To start this quick easy dinner, marinate the halibut in a bowl of equal parts
olive oil, balsamic vinegar (2 tablespoons
each) and a clove or two of garlic. Coat the halibut and place the fish in the
refrigerator for about two hours.
In the meantime, follow the cooking instructions on the back of the packages for
the wild rice and the brown rice and cook
both types of rice separately. When I made this healthy food recipe, I used 1/4
cup of wild rice and 1 cup of brown rice.
Once both sets of rice are cooked, mix them together and add chopped dates. Be
sure you check the dates for nuts. Allow the
heat of both sets of rice to warm up the chopped dates. Set the rice aside.
Once the halibut is marinated, cook the fish in the oven until tender and flaky
but not raw in the middle. To make this a
really quick dinner, purchase freshly frozen green beans and heat them up over
the stove while you are cooking the halibut.
If the rice has cooled, you may want to pop it in the microwave for a few
seconds to reheat it. Set the rice on your dinner
plate, then place the cooked halibut on top and then the cooked green beans to
the side, and there you have a quick easy
dinner using a healthy food recipe.
I like to save even more time cooking dinner in the summer and often will
prepare my combination rice serving ahead of time
and refrigerate it. I make a couple of servings and then take it out for this
dish or another quick meal that I may cook
during the week.
I hope you find this healthy food recipe for a quick easy dinner enjoyable. What
is so great about this easy healthy dinner
is that it takes no time to make and is easy to clean up. Until next time,
remember the Budget Bash mantra: make it simple,
delicious, stylish, fun & economical to all!
