My sister is a genious with tasty yet exceptionally healthy food. She cooks all organic ingredients. I’m not so great and going completely organic or cooking 24/7 healthy meals. To be honest I like my treats and baking way to much. However, I still do my best to have a good variety of healthy meals. And obviously as I’ve gotten healthier this kind of lifestyle has gotten much more normal for me as well.
This is one that I stole from her to benefit all those of you who are looking for the next great healthy meal solution. The great thing about this one is that it is easy and most of the ingredients are something you would usually have in your pantry already. It is about an hour prep time, however half of that is simmering with little to no supervision which is always my favorite kind of prep time.
It’s as easy as satueeing your potatoes and peppers, adding your spices, and finishing with adding remaining ingredients (minus yogurt and cilantro) and letting it simmer. The yogurt and cilantro make a tasty alternative to things like sour cream. Now doesn’t that just look delicious?!
