Organic Month is a month-long campaign to raise awareness of the benefits of organic food and farming.
Benefits include greener, cleaner food, less exposure to pesticides, sustainable farming practices, and helping to combat climate change and preserve biodiversity.
Alce Nero, the leading organic brand in Italy, challenges you to go bio with Alce Nero for a whole day, week or month to discover organic food and its effects on your health and wellbeing.
To make it easier for you to include organic foods in your daily diet, Alce Nero has created a range of delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes that will guide you through breakfast, lunch and dinner, even snacks and desserts.
The wide range of Alce Nero pasta, pasta sauces, jams, olive oil and vinegars ensures more variety and an intense natural taste for every meal. The full recipes can be found at alcenero.asia/recipes
Alce Nero organic products are sold at AEON, Jaya Grocer, Village Grocer, Ben’s Independent Grocer and select supermarkets.
Breakfast: Toast with apple, cinnamon and chestnut spread
This organic pleasure is rich in autumn aromas of apple, cinnamon and chestnut. The structural symphony of tender chestnut spread, grainy muesli, crunchy apples and crispy toast make it an absolute favorite.
Toast whole wheat bread, add a generous layer of chestnut spread, sprinkle some crushed granola, then cover the sliced apples before adding more crushed granola. Finally dust with light cinnamon powder. Drizzle with honey if you like to refine the sweetness.
Lunch: Laksa Johor
This nutritionally balanced Laksa Johor uses Alce Nero Organic Tricolore Pasta instead of traditional Laksa noodles.
Boil the fish like fresh sardines with water, remove the bones and lightly puree. Reserve half a cup of fish stock.
Prepare the pasta according to the instructions on the package.
Puree 2 stalks of lemongrass, 5 cm ginger, 5 cm galangal, 2 large onions, 3 dried chilies and 8 dried prawns, fry until they smell fragrant. Stir in the mixed fish, then add the fish curry powder, santan, kerisik and the served fish stock. Work in well, bring to the boil and allow to thicken.
To serve: Place a nest of tricolor noodles in a shallow bowl, pour over the fish lacta and add the julienned cucumber, blanched bean sprouts, finely chopped long beans and onions, fresh basil and sliced calamansi limes.
The explosion of fresh, tart, tangy, and rich flavors is well worth the longer prep time. You can prepare the fish stew in advance.
Snack or dessert at any time: yogurt parfait
This yogurt parfait is delicious, healthy, organic and Instagram-ready and is ideal for breakfast, snack or dessert, especially on hot and humid days.
Generously distribute Alce Nero organic blueberry jam in a clear glass or mason jar, top with Greek yoghurt, top with crunchy muesli and decorate with fruits of your choice – berries such as strawberries are pretty and nutritious. Add some Alce Nero organic honey for extra sweetness.
While some prefer to stir the layers, others enjoy breaking down each layer until they reach the blueberry jam at the bottom.
Can be made in advance for parties.
Dinner: Fried Chicken Penne
This organic chicken penne goreng is a hearty meal that is quick to prepare. Perfect for those days when you are tired after work but still want to stick to your healthy organic nutrition plan.
Cook the Alce Nero Bio Penne al dente, drain and set aside.
Fry the onions, shallots, tomato slices and tofu in a large pan until they are fragrant. Stir in the chili paste and Alce Nero organic pasta sauce and let it boil. Then add diced chicken and carrots and cook until chicken is done. Add the cooked penne and whisked eggs and mix well so that the eggs combine with the other ingredients. Finally stir in the spring onions and bean sprouts until they are warmed through. Sprinkle some sliced chilli over the top before serving.
Fusion organic cuisine that is healthy, tasty and quick to prepare.
