La Germania dishes nutritious recipes to strengthen
you and your family amid cold and flu season
The new year marks a fresh start, but it also means that
flu season is upon us. That’s why it’s vital for you and your loved ones to
take care of your health. One of the best ways to shield ourselves from
diseases and possible health risks is preparing nutritious dishes at home.
To help you boost your immune system amid flu season, La Germania shares three recipes that are easy to make and rich with health benefits. By preparing these dishes at home, you also get to make a lot of savings. Hence, you hit two birds with one stone.
Get fancy with Salmon en Papillote
French cuisine may sound
intimidating, but this tender fish is deceptively easy and fast to prepare.
Salmon is one of the most nutritious foods in the market, rich in omega-3 fatty
acids and B vitamins. Omega-3 fatty acids help build and maintain a healthy
body, while B vitamins are a good energy source and may help with certain
health problems, like migraines and anxiety. Baking this flavourful French dish
will be a total breeze with your La Germania oven range.
Ingredients:
●
1.5 lbs salmon, cut into four pieces
●
One small zucchini, thinly sliced
●
One head fennel, thinly sliced
●
One lemon, thinly sliced
●
One tsp dried dill
●
Four tsp extra virgin olive oil
●
One tsp salt
●
1/2 tsp pepper
●
Parchment paper
Procedure:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cut parchment into four
large ovals 15” by 10” inches. Then, fold each parchment in half.
- On half of each
parchment, layer on ¼ of the zucchini, ¼ the fennel, one piece of salmon,
sprinkle with ¼ tsp salt, ¼ pepper, ¼ tsp dill, lemon slices, drizzle each
salmon with one teaspoon olive oil and a few pieces of fennel fronds.
Repeat this process with the three remaining salmon filets.
- Close the parchment by
folding the other half over the prepared salmon and carefully roll the
open edges toward the center.
- Set pouches on a baking
sheet and bake on the center rack for 15 minutes.
- Open carefully using a
fork and serve.

Snack it up with
Baked Garlic Sweet Potatoes
If you’re in the mood for a delicious snack, you can
forgo junk food and try this affordable yet delectable option instead. Sweet
potato (a.k.a kamote) is a superfood
packed with plenty of nutrients like Potassium, beta-carotene and Vitamin C.
Potassium regulates one’s heartbeat. In contrast, beta-carotene is good for
one’s eyesight. Meanwhile, Vitamin C is necessary for the growth, development,
and repair of all body tissues. That’s why you should eat more sweet potatoes
this flu season. With a La Germania compact oven in your arsenal, you can bake
this mouthwatering dish to your heart’s content.
Ingredients:
●
Four medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into
1/4-inch matchsticks
●
Two tablespoons olive oil
●
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
●
Five cloves garlic, pressed
●
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
●
Two tablespoons chopped parsley leaves for garnish
Procedure:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with
nonstick spray.
- Place the sweet
potatoes in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil
and gently toss to combine; season with salt and pepper to taste. Place
into oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and crisp, tossing
occasionally.
- Combine sweet potato
with garlic and Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately,
garnished with parsley, if desired.
