Carotene lunch

Baked paprika, carotene powered.
I am not sure the body tells what it needs, but I wanted to eat this yellow orange color. I like thinking these food bring a lot of antioxidant β-carotene that I need now. Even if I’m wrong, I’ve eaten something good.

A yellow paprika and carrot *okara*. I made carrot juice, they are the grounds.

The filling is azuki beans, new onion, the carrot *okara*, turmeric, garlic, chili pepper, salt.

Baked. I’ve put a drizzle of olive oil on top. That favors vitamin absorption.

Today’s salad : chrysanthemum, young onion (salted, let 20 minutes, rinsed), parsley and ninniku no me (garlic stalks).

Dessert : citrus flavored torta di riso (see here).

A nice little three course meal, ready in few minute. The dessert was made a few days ago.
