| Rice Lasagna with Shrimps and Mashed Avocados (Paleo, Gluten-Free) |
It´s been a while since I made a rice lasagna, in my country when you have all things that are necessary to do it, we called "Imperial Rice", it´s made with mayonnaise, and cheese, the rice is cooked first with tomato salsa, and a savory shredded chicken usually, but you can make it also with any meat, fish or seafood available.
This time I prefer to change the recipe, and although I always make my own healthy mayo, I want to include instead of avocados, I made the spiced turmeric rice the day before, to change the composition in the rice for resistant starch, and the cheese is cheddar pasture-raised, but if you are vegan, or you can´t eat dairy, change it for vegan cheese.
Do you know how to enhance the resistant starch in white rice?
Cook it with coconut oil or vinegar, and then transfer it to the fridge for several hours even days.
Researchers have found that this is the best way to consume a simple carbohydrate food to transform it into a type of fiber that is resistant to starch. The same results when you cook potatoes, pasta, sweet potatoes, oats, legumes, green banana or plantain, and yuca/cassava among others, you take them to the fridge, they will become resistant starch that makes enormous favorable actions to our body, see this post.
Of course, you have to reheat it, but this process doesn´t change the composition that it´s made before, so try to do it out, cut the carbs and calories and add overall gut health, that is the cause of the majority of illness we have right now, everything starts in our gut.
Seriously, the recipe is awesome 🎇I bet that you can´t stop doing it, does not matter what kind of meat you will use in it, the combination of all flavors is super! it´s a complete and comfortable meal, full of protein, and organic: healthy fats, carbs, minerals, vitamins, and spices that enhance your health.
Of course, you can change the rice or the shrimp for anything else that keeps your boat afloat.
Let´s do it!

Change the white rice to cauliflower rice.
Double or triple the recipe, to save time on the weekdays.
Make more layers of meat and rice.
Once the rice is made you can take it directly to the oven mold, it's up to you, I only recommend another way of eating it, because there are people who do not feel well eating it the traditional way, and doing this, they are more likely to assimilate it better.
