Mixed Vegetable Recipe Packed with Protein and Whole Grains


Eating healthy doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. With the right ingredients, you can whip up a nutritious and delicious meal that satisfies your taste buds and nourishes your body. One such option is a mixed vegetable recipe packed with protein and whole grains. This recipe not only offers a delightful mix of flavours and textures but is also easy to prepare, making it an ideal choice for busy individuals and families alike.

Why Choose a Mixed Vegetable Recipe?

A frozen mixed vegetable recipe is a fantastic way to ensure you're getting a variety of nutrients in one meal. Mixed vegetables typically include a blend of carrots, peas, corn, green beans, and sometimes even more exotic vegetables like bell peppers and edamame. These vegetables provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health.

Incorporating whole grains and protein into this mixed veggie recipe makes it a complete meal. Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, or barley add fibre and complex carbohydrates, which keep you full and energised. Protein sources such as beans, lentils, tofu, or chicken provide the necessary amino acids for muscle repair and growth.

This mixed veggie recipe is perfect for those looking for a versatile and balanced meal that can be customised to suit various tastes and dietary preferences. Whether you prefer plant-based proteins or lean meats, this dish adapts easily to your needs.

 

Ingredients for a Nutritious Mixed Veggie Recipe

To create a balanced and delicious mixed vegetable recipe, you'll need the following ingredients:

 

Vegetables

·       2 cups of Originz  organic frozen mixed vegetables

·       1 onion, diced

·       2 cloves of garlic, minced

·       1 bell pepper, chopped

 

Protein

·       1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

·       1 block of firm tofu, cubed (or 2 chicken breasts, diced if you prefer meat)

 

Whole Grains

·       1 cup of quinoa or brown rice

·       2 cups of vegetable or chicken broth

 

Seasonings

·       2 tablespoons of olive oil

·       1 teaspoon of cumin

·       1 teaspoon of paprika

·       Salt and pepper to taste

·       Fresh parsley or coriander for garnish

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Whole Grains

Start by cooking the quinoa or brown rice according to the package instructions, using vegetable or chicken broth instead of water for added flavour. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, set aside.

 

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until they become translucent and fragrant. Add the chopped bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes.

 

Step 3: Add Protein and Spices

Add the cubed tofu or diced chicken to the skillet. Cook until the tofu is golden brown or the chicken is fully cooked. Sprinkle in the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring to coat everything evenly.

 

Step 4: Mix in the Vegetables

Add the organic frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are heated through, typically about 5-7 minutes. Ensure that the vegetables retain their crispiness and vibrant colours.


Step 5: Combine and Serve

Once the vegetables are cooked, add the cooked quinoa or brown rice to the skillet. Mix everything together until well combined. Garnish with fresh parsley or coriander before serving.

 

This frozen mixed vegetable recipe is perfect for any meal of the day. It’s nutritious, filling, and easy to make. Plus, using organic frozen mixed vegetables ensures that you're getting high-quality produce with maximum nutrients.

 

Why Choose Organic?

Choosing organic ingredients, such as Originz organic frozen mixed vegetables, ensures that your food is free from harmful pesticides and chemicals. Organic farming practices also support environmental sustainability by reducing pollution and conserving water and soil quality. At Originz, we offer a range of healthy food products that are organic and nutritious, perfect for those who want to eat clean and live healthily.

 

The Benefits of This Mixed Veggie Recipe

This mixed vegetable recipe is a powerhouse of nutrition. Here are some of the benefits:

High in Fibre

Both the vegetables and whole grains provide a good amount of dietary fibre, which is essential for digestive health. Fibre helps to regulate bowel movements, lower cholesterol levels, and maintain blood sugar levels.

 

Rich in Vitamins and Minerals

Vegetables are packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as potassium and folate. These nutrients are crucial for maintaining good vision, immune function, and bone health.

 

Balanced Protein

Incorporating plant-based proteins like chickpeas and tofu provides all the essential amino acids your body needs. For those who prefer meat, chicken is an excellent source of lean protein.

 

Low in Calories

This recipe is low in calories yet highly satisfying, making it an ideal option for those looking to maintain or lose weight.

 

FAQs

Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen ones?

Yes, you can use fresh vegetables if you prefer. However, using organic frozen mixed vegetables is convenient and ensures that you have a consistent supply of veggies on hand.

 

How can I make this recipe vegan?

To make this recipe vegan, simply use tofu or another plant-based protein instead of chicken. Ensure that your vegetable broth is also vegan-friendly.
