				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These super easy and quick tortillas are not only delicious, but also healthy and nutritious.<br />
These are ready in under 30 minutes, if you are using store-bought tortillas.<br />
I see nothing wrong in buying ready-made tortillas, in fact I usually keep one package in the fridge, just in case we are in need of a quick and casual meal.<br />
The best thing about tortillas is that you can fill them up with anything you have in the fridge. This is a good way to use any left over meat and not-so-fresh veggies.<br />
In this recipe, I used kale, peppers, leeks and onions, but you may add any other vegetable you like and have on hands.<br />
<a href="http://vessysday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chicken-kale-tortillas-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3434" alt="Chicken &amp; kale tortillas" src="http://vessysday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chicken-kale-tortillas-2.jpg" width="1398" height="2000" /></a><br />
<strong>Ingredients for the chicken:</strong><br />
500 grams (18 oz) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, chopped into small pieces<br />
Juice from 1 orange<br />
1 table spoons soy sauce<br />
Salt &amp; pepper to taste</p>
<p><strong>For the vegetables:</strong><br />
3 tablespoons olive oil<br />
3 leeks, chopped<br />
3-4 spring onions, chopped<br />
5 red peppers, chopped<br />
2 green peppers, chopped<br />
200 grams (7 oz) kale, chopped<br />
3 tablespoons soy sauce<br />
Salt &amp; pepper</p>
<p><strong>For serving:</strong><br />
6 large tortillas<br />
Mozzarella cheese, shredded</p>
<p>Combine chicken, orange juice and soy sauce in a large bowl and set aside until you chop up the vegetables.<br />
Chop up the veggies. Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add veggies and cook until all of the water they release evaporates, and they are tender, but still fresh looking. Add soy sauce and cook for another minute. Soy sauce will quickly evaporate and what&#8217;s left will begin to caramelize. Stir veggies to coat with the caramelized soy sauce and remove from heat. Transfer to a bowl and set aside, keep warm.<br />
In the meantime heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a small skillet and add the chicken, together with half of the marinade. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until all juices evaporate and chicken bites begin to brown. Remove from pan and set aside, keep warm.<br />
Brush skillet that you used for cooking the veggies, with olive oil and start warming up tortillas, one by one, cooking them both sides.<br />
The moment you remove one tortilla from the skillet and add another, sprinkle a little bit of shredded mozzarella cheese over the hot tortilla. Then sprinkle a little bit of the chicken and veggies and wrap up.<br />
Repeat with all tortillas.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This risotto is super delicious and light, plus it&#8217;s vegetarian, but I promise you will not be missing the meat in this one. It has a super fresh taste, lots of healthy greens and a little bit of cheese for extra creaminess.<br />
Risotto is so easy to prepare and a great meal at all times. Yes, I call it a meal, cause I believe you can make such a great risotto that no one will be leaving the table hungry, but of course some serve risotto as a garnish to a piece of meat, for instance. Choice is yours, but please, try this one out first, before you fire the grill.<br />
<a href="http://vessysday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Risotto-with-kale-and-asparagus-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3396" alt="Asparagus &amp; kale risotto" src="http://vessysday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Risotto-with-kale-and-asparagus-1.jpg" width="1120" height="1699" /></a><br />
<strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />
3 table spoons olive oil<br />
1 large onion, chopped<br />
2 garlic cloves, chopped<br />
Zest from 1 lemon<br />
1 table spoon lemon juice<br />
1/2 tea spoon lemongrass, chopped super finely<br />
200 grams (7 oz) asparagus, chopped into small pieces<br />
300 grams (10 oz) arborio rice<br />
1 l. vegetable broth (additional, if needed) &#8211; hot<br />
150 grams (5 oz) kale, cleaned and chopped<br />
2 table spoons ricotta<br />
150 grams (5 oz) Gouda, shredded<br />
Salt and pepper</p>
<p>For the broth – you will need about two and a half times the quantity of the rice you are cooking, so if you have 300 grams of rice, you will need about 800 ml. of broth. You will have to adjust the quantity of the broth on the go, depending on the type of rice you cook. Keep the broth hot until needed.<br />
In a large pot heat the olive oil, add garlic and onion and cook for a few minutes until lightly browned, just be careful to not burn them. Add lemon juice, lemon zest and asparagus and cook for another minute. Reduce the heat to medium and add the rice. Cook for a minute or so, just enough to heat it, not fry it (on low heat), then add kale.<br />
Gradually start adding the broth, part by part as you stir the rice repeatedly – stirring is important because it helps the rice to loose the starch, which creates nice creamy texture of the sauce. Make sure to stir your rice almost constantly but gently because you don’t want to smash it. Let the rice absorb almost all of the part broth you have added, before you add more broth. Keep adding broth until the rice is almost cooked – the rice should be al dente and moist – this means that risotto is usually served with it’s creamy sauce. If you let the broth evaporates completely while your rice is cooking, then you will not have the creamy sauce. If you see that risotto gets dry but it is almost cooked, then add just enough broth to moisten it.<br />
Total time for cooking the rice is about 20-25 minutes, as during that time rice should be gently simmering, not boiling.<br />
Turn the heat off and add ricotta and gouda cheese, stir gently to combine and season with salt and pepper.</p>
