This morning, I started a new conditioning and strength programme as I train for my first sprint triathlon. Hence, I've been starving all day. Seriously, if you want to really, really relish your food, do some weight training. It makes you more hungry than cardio exercise.
So, this delicious protein meal that is very low in fat and carbohydrates is the perfect meal to help refuel your muscles (geddit, eh?)
Ingredients
Handful of fresh mussels, beards removed and scrubbed (it's easy, just tear the hairy bits out, scrub clean...if the mussels are open and don't close with a tap to the shell, don't use)
1/2 fresh red chilli
Juice of one lime
Crushed garlic clove
Slug of rice wine vinegar
Slug of Tamari
Slug fish sauce
handful of fresh tomatoes
Saute the chilli and garlic in a little olive oil. add the tamari, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar and lime. Taste for liking and then add the mussels, turn heat to simmer and put on lid. Within about two minutes the shells will have opened. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve on the quinoa.
