The 7 Day Detox Diet - Dinner Recipes

Dinner Recipes

Dinner is the meal for the day where you get to sit down and enjoy your meal without rushing or thinking of work. It’s the time of day when you can sit back, relax, and take a well-deserved break. That’s why it’s also important to have a healthy and delicious meal to help you unwind and prepare for the next day to come.

Being on a detox diet doesn’t mean you have to constrain yourself to bland and boring food. If there’s a lesson to take away from this book, it’s that you can be healthy and lose weight while still enjoying your meals. Here are some dinner dishes to enjoy from detox diet days two to four.

Steamed Fish with Pineapple Yogurt Sauce on Brown Rice

Ingredients:

To prepare:

The first thing you need to get started on in this recipe is the rice because it takes the longest to cook. Wash the rice thoroughly and place inside a slow cooker or in a small pot. Add water, enough to cover the rice plus ¾ of a centimetre and put on low heat. Let the rice cook until all the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.

Any steamer – a plug-in steamer, a bamboo steamer, or an aluminium stove-top steamer – should do the job. Place the fish fillet inside an envelope of foil along with the celery, onion, and leeks and a little salt and pepper (and maybe some grated ginger if you feel like it) and place inside the steamer. If the water in the steamer is already boiling, it shouldn’t take longer than 10 to 15 minutes for the fish to cook.

In a saucepan on low heat, pour in the yogurt, the chopped pineapples, and the cilantro. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.

To serve, place the rice on a plate and top with the steamed fish. Pour the sauce over the fish and top everything with the steamed celery, onions, and leeks.
