Cook At Home For Healthier Food Options

One great advantage of cooking your own meals instead of buying ready prepared food is that you can control what ingredients are used. If you are health conscious or trying to control your weight it pays to create menus and cook the food yourself, using fresh ingredients and low fat options. Typically, processed or ready made meals will contain ingredients that you may not want to include in your diet. Also a wide variety of additives are used in processed foods. These have been known to have detrimental effects on the health of some people. In order to create more flavour in their meals processed food manufacturers often add far greater amounts of sugar, salt and fat than you would use when preparing the same dish at home.

Swordfish steak is really great either griddled or steamed.  We’re going to do both with our swordfish steaks in today’s recipe.  First, you need to make a mixture of oil, lemon juice, chopped mint, marjoram and garlic, and salt and pepper.  We’re going to use this to coat the swordfish steaks while they are cooking.  Pour a little water into a griddle pan, just below the ridges of the pan.  Heat the water until it’s simmering.  Coat the swordfish steaks with the oil mix you made earlier and place them onto the griddle pan.  Cover the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes.  Now coat the steaks again and turn them over, covering and leavin...
