We've been having dinner's "European style" {where you don't get seated until 9pm earliest} quite a bit lately. The fact that it is light outside until 9:30pm or more, live evening concerts in the neighborhood shopping area and just the fun of warm summer nights may have something to do with it.
Main course:
1 bunch asparagus
1 onion
5 large garlic cloves
1 cup of corn
1 cup of minced mushrooms
coconut oil
celtic sea salt
white truffle salt
dill
Side:
2 heirloom tomatoes
european cucumbers
romain hearts
garlic, dill , salt
balsamic vinegar
EV olive oil
honey vinegar
How-to:
Mince onion, 3 garlic cloves, mushrooms and dill . salt well and combine with melted coconut oil ( note: coconut oil melts at 70 degrees, so don't sweat to much, just stick the jar under warm running water. It will take 10 seconds) . Crush 3 more garlic cloves, combine with salt and dill and press until uniformed mixture. Cut of asparagus tips, combine with corn, add coconut oil ( melted) and mix with garlic/dill paste. { for raw version stop here}.
Golden onions, garlic and mushrooms for about 5 minutes ( the aroma will let you know it's "there") , add asparagus mixture and sear for no longer then 5 minutes ( actually less - just until the color "pops") constantly mixing. The flavors combine and - viola - you have an amazing dinner in literally 10 minutes. Add a few drops of honey vinegar on the plate, and make sure you don't eat one.
Serve with a side of heirlooms, romane and cucumbers, garnished with white truffle salt, crushed garlic, dill and balsamic. Drizzle with olive oil if you like.
Vegetarian/vegan and raw friendly, that is fast and tastes amazing.
How cool is that?

ReplyDeleteMine too! But kids need something more sufficient for their little bodies and brains :)
DeleteThis looks really healthy and delicious and you don't have to worry about it being too heavy even if you eat later.
ReplyDeleteI think the key to summer cooking is not turning on the stove :) I love making guacamole salad and kim bap rolls
