Gourm-ette Cooking (Happy Birthday, Mum)
Well, turns out I can still turn out the old gour-met when I have to. My Salade Nicoise consisted of
Hot Ingredients:
5 red potatoes, chopped, boiled
3 handfuls of green beans, steamed
Cold Ingredients:
Lots of lettuce & spinach from garden
two avocadoes, diced
3 boiled eggs, quartered
splursh of olive oil
2 splurshes of sushi seasoning
splurshlet of soy sauce
splurshlet of lime juice
half a handful of finely chopped basil
(hot & cold ingredients combined roughly in salad bowl, then served into 4 individual bowls)
Fish Ingredients:
two whacking great tuna steaks (a little under half a kilo)
grilled until mostly cooked (but pink in the middle)
squishlets of garlic & ginger chucked in at last minute, wiped over fish
steaks chopped into big lumps & thrown casually on top of salad bowls.
Served 3 big uns and 1 little un. Much chomping & happy noises. Enough salad (minus fish) for Man of the House to have a packed lunch tomorrow.
Also, dessert:
punnet of strawberries (standard container) de-greened and spread over 3 and a half bowls.
150 grams or so of marscapone stirred in with a swizzle or two of maple syrup to taste, then dolloped on top of strawberries.
4 squares of excellent dark chocolate zapped in microwave for one minute, then drizzled over marscapone.
Mmmmmmm.
Little girl ate much vegetables, fish and strawberries. Then made art on placemat with melted chocolate. She had to wash her hands twice. I call it a success!
