Variation:

 

For heart health drain the fat from your favourite Corned Beef – it reduces the fat content by half. Drain fat into a disposable container and throw it in the rubbish – don’t drain it down the sink!

 

Eat a variety of different coloured vegetables - they’re full of good stuff such as vitamins and minerals as well as provide fibre. Use whatever seasonal vegetables you have on hand in this recipe – silverbeet, bok choy, cubed cooked taro or kumara.

 

Tinned tomatoes are high in the antioxidant lycopene. Research has shown an association between higher intakes of certain antioxidants and lower incidence of some diseases such as certain cancers and heart disease.

 

It’s easy to reduce salt when using such flavoursome herbs as garlic, ginger and coriander.   Having too much salt in your diet can lead to high blood pressure and increase your risk of developing heart disease.

 

Rice is a cereal that provides much needed energy – using brown rice will provide additional fibre to your diet, make you feel fuller for longer and has a yummy nutty flavour.
