Every now and then I remember we are supposed to think about keeping our Omega 3 levels up and the fish shop gets a visit. Salmon is one of the foods with the highest levels available to us, which makes it easy. Except husband and son are not keen on it and I have to work hard to disguise its flavour, which is a shame in my opinion. Anyway, I scrambled about among the multitude of online food blogs and came up with this recipe from Confections of a Foodie Bride. The recipe has a concoction on top which is flavoursome enough to disguise any base food. The combination of capers, anchovies and the aniseed flavour of fennel would be perfect for this disguising task. The only problem was that Adriano (my personal shopper) couldn't find any fennel and I was left with what I had at hand. In the north of Italy where I lived, we used to boil meat and smother it with a green sauce and that is what I ended up making.

Thai Beef Salad
Cooking Recipe: We all have a version of a Thai beef salad and I made one of mine tonight. It is so simple. Here are a few of the ingredients - I do like to assemble things before I start. The first thing is to put a couple of sirloin steaks on the grill and cook until still pink inside but not bloody or it will taint the salad. While they are cooking, chop up chives, red chillies and coriander. Then throw a mixture of salad leaves in a bowl and add chopped up tomatoes. Next step is to mix the dressing: 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp fish sauce 2 tbsp lemon or lime juice 1 tbsp sugar 1 tsp garlic-infused oil Once the meat is cooked, slice it up into bite-sized pieces and throw into the dressing and mix. Now everything gets chucked in together and mixed to coat all the leaves with the dressing. Eat it with a bread of your choice - it's yummy scrummy. … [Read more...] about Thai Beef Salad
