extra virgin olive oil to taste

Curiosity

We all know that there is less and less time to cook, combined with the lack of desire dictated by the tiredness of the working day and family commitments. This, however, does not mean eating badly or relying on ready-made, industrial foods that are not kind to our health. You just need to get organized.

Mulino Marello buckwheat grains are ideal for cooking in the morning, while we have breakfast or while we wash and dress. Once drained, they can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days, as can be done with other cereals such as rice.

When we return home for lunch or dinner it will be enough just to quickly cook the spinach (fresh is better, but for convenience frozen ones are also fine) and sauté the vegetables with the grains. If desired, our Saracenotto is already delicious like this, with a drizzle of oil and some crumbled walnuts on top. To make the dish even more complete and nutritious, just add some lightly steamed cabbage. I remember that cabbages in this season are a precious ally for well-being and combining them in this way with our Saracenotto is an idea to quickly have a light, satiating and easily digestible single dish ready.

Buckwheat grains are another well-being habit to be consumed especially in this season to strengthen and warm us up. We learn at least once a week to use it to prepare not only tasty "saracenotti", but also to use it as an ingredient for soups and porridge. Buckwheat is rich in mineral salts such as iron, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium, as well as group B vitamins. Contains particular antioxidants including the note routine, ally of the circulation and blood vessels.

Therefore, today's dish is tasty and nutritious, an ally of the intestine, purifying and energizing!
