Lunch: salmon with pasta and peas
This dish is very easy to make, the pasta is what takes the longest.
- To make it start by cooking your favorite pasta in some boiling water, following the package instructions.
- In the meantime, over a buttered skillet cook, sauté the shallots and cook until they are softened.
- Then, add the peas and the salmon and pour some water. Throw the stock-flavored cube and mix.
- Cook the salmon through and season everything with salt and black pepper. When the pasta is ready, stir it in and mix.
- If your family is not used to having peas, you can skip that step and not include them.
Now, if your family is a fan of salmon and want to try a new and different salmon-based dish, here is an extra recipe you can follow: riceselect.com/recipe/curry-risotto-baked-salmon.
Dessert: Arroz con leche
This is a classic dessert. It only takes rice, coconut milk, sugar and cinnamon sticks to make.
Instead of boiling the rice in water, you are going to cook it in some coconut milk and with one or two cinnamon sticks in the boiling pot.
The idea is to bring the mix to a boil and then take the heat to simmer and let the rice cook through as the liquid evaporates and it is absorbed by the rice. You will see the rice become a creamy and delicious dessert.
