A healthy, balanced meal
Eating in a balanced way doesn’t mean sacrificing flavour. On the contrary, some simple, natural combinations – like those in this recipe – can become true allies for everyday wellbeing.
Brown rice with vegetables and Delicius Sardines is a complete one-dish meal, designed for those who want to eat mindfully, following the principles of the Longevity Nutrition Program.
This recipe combines the complex carbohydrates of brown rice, the vitamins and fibre of fresh vegetables and the healthy fats of oily fish, for a balanced and tasty meal. To complete the dish, a crispy, spicy note is added by furikake, a mineral-rich Japanese condiment.
Why it’s good for you
Sardines, rich in omega-3, calcium and vitamin D, are a valuable ally for heart and bone health, in line with a longevity-oriented diet.
To complete the dish, pair it with a seasonal fresh salad (rocket, fennel and oranges) for a balanced citrus note.
As a drink, choose still or slightly sparkling water with lime, or unsweetened iced green tea.
For a more complete meal, finish with some seasonal fruit or a light dessert of yoghurt and oil-rich seeds.
Did you know: furikake is a Japanese condiment made from nori seaweed, sesame, spices and dried fish, ideal for adding flavour to dishes like this.
