Here is a canny Salmon and Tomato risotto i mad a few days ago.

First crumble a chicken stock cube in a pan with four cups of water(You might not use all) once its boiled keep it on a low heat.

MElt some butter with a bit of olive oil in a seperate pan or skillet. (I will leave the amount up to you, doesnt have to be strict)

Once the butter is melted, put in a cup of rice and stir the rice for one or two minutes to make sure its all covered with the mixture.

Add about half a can of tomatoes or some passata (I dont measure, i just add enough so all the rice is covered)

Stir in a ladle of stock and make sure the rice and liquid is simmering. Add two small salmon steaks and let them cook in the liquid. Turn over after about ten minutes

Each time the rice absorbs the stock, add another ladle of stock. This should take betwen 20-25 minutes for the risotto to cook. Its pretty boring but trust me, it will taste good.

The salmon will be pretty soft after 20-25 minutes and if you want you can break it up and mix it into the risotto or leave it whole (entirely up to you)

Once its done (around 20-25 minutes) take it off the heat, add some salt and black pepper and some dried sweet basil and parsley(again, the amount is up to you, taste it and if you need more salt etc put it in) and you are ready to eat.

Whole wheat tortilla wraps.

Filled with tuna mixed with a little bit of light mayo, old chedder cheese, lettuce and tomato. Wrap em up and tum.

nice also with a lean cappacolo meat, hummus for a spread, also chedder cheese and lettuce.

Quick and easy to make, or saran wrap and take with you on the fly.

Hummus is a nice snack on its own, dipping into it with a whole wheat pita bread too.

It`s not too hard to make (hummus) but you can likely buy it for close to what it`d cost to make.

Yea, I forget about this thread. Seriously, you have to try the mango salad. It's somehow just the right mix of different tastes, plus is refreshing to eat. Easy as heck to make. Goes with anything. Plus is perfect for throwing into a tupperware container to eat on the fly. That'll last you 2 or 3 days easy unless you are feeding a bunch.

A few things that i eat on a regular basis and are good for people that train hard.

1.)
Greek omelette: Green peppers, onions, tomatoes, fetta cheese.

The key to a good omelette is to cook the veggies first so they arent hard and then make the eggs and add the veggies to them.

I usually eat mine with turkey bacon or canadian bacon and whole wheat toast.

2.)
Cottage cheese- its full of slow release casein protein and glutamine. Best eaten a couple hours before a workout or before bed. I like it with tomatoes or peaches.

3.)
Protein shake: Not just for gaining weight, they are good for anyone that trains hard. Bruce Lee used to have 2 shakes per day.

Use any or all of the following: protein powder, milk, frozen or fresh berries, raw eggs, psylium fiber husks, yogurt, peanut butter, juice, flax oil, ice.

4.)
Trail mix- almonds, peanuts, cashews, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, raisins, dates. Full of good fats and protein.

BTW, does anyone have any unique recipes for a damn good salad?

spinach salad with tuna; it's as straightforward as it sounds. i usually add celery, tomatoes, cucumber, green olives, banana peppers, and bell peppers... with all the juices, it doesn't need dressing. olive oil wouldn't hurt though. there's lots of sodium in this salad, (you'll retain more water), if you're working out enough, it's not a problem.

For someone who doesnt like veg very much, this soup helps me down my greens.

Brocolli Soup.

Cut the all florets off the brocolli. Salt the boiling water and put the brocolli in there for about 4-5 minutes. Drain the brocolli but reserve some of the water which should have a green tinge from the broccoli.
Put the broccoli in a food processor with a ladle or two of the broccoli water. Add a bit of salt and black pepper and a dash of olive oil. The soup should be very thick and to give it some extra taste you can put a couple of bits of feta cheese at the bottom of the soup bowl before you serve it.

Potato and pumpkin Mash.

I hate mashed potato but this recipe is very good. Goes with just about anything, especially a cooked chicken breast.

Boil your poataos and pumpkin in salted water. Dont forget to half your potatoes and cut up your pumpkin and peel the skin so it boils quicker. I use about 40/60 ratio between the quantity of pumpkin and potato.

Boil for approx 10 mins but put a knife through to check.

Drain and mash. Put in a bit of milk, the amount you need is up to you as each person likes a slightly different consistency. i use about 2 tsp when mashing 3 small/mid potatos and an equal size of pumpkin.
When mashed, add 2 spoons of grain mustard. mix in and its ready. A bit of chopped parsley mixed in tastes good if you have any
