GRILLED SALMON RISOTTO

all you need is:
1 cup (or more) brown rice, cooked
a handful of cherry tomatoes, sliced
grilled salmon (you can use canned tuna to make it quicker)
garlic
hot pepper flakes
basil leaves (he left them out today 'cos our basil plant passed away in these freezing days)

spray a pan with PAM or brush it with olive oil. quickly saute the tomatoes with garlic. after a minute or so add the sliced grilled salmon, basil leaves and hot pepper flakes. saute for another minute. add cooked brown rice and stir until heated. voila... your risotto is ready. season with a tsp olive oil.

why is it good for you?
-brown rice has more than 80% of your daily value of manganese, which gives you energy from both carbs and protein. it also reach in fiber that slows down the absorption of carbohydrates. this means no insulin spikes and you'll feel full longer.
-salmon, just like tuna, is rich in omega-3&6 fatty acids which help maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and keep insulin under control. very effective fat burner!
-tomatoes...what to say...they are rich in lycopene which is anti-inflammatory, makes your skin and hair shiny, prevents cancer, tomatoes build strong bones, improve your vision and the list goes on and on.
