Wild Salmon and Veggie Medley

Salmon is my personal favourite way to get essential doses of omega 3! Eat up.

 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

 

Wild Salmon Fillets (serving depends on how many you are preparing meal for)

Brown bella mushrooms

1 large sweet potato

1 small package of plain tofu

1 bag of fresh black kale

Olive oil (to taste)

Cayenne pepper (to taste)

Turmeric (to taste)

Salt & pepper (to taste)

 

STEPS TO YOUR DELIGHTFUL JOY:

 

Pre-heat oven to 400 C.

Wash and cut your sweet potato into small chunks. (The point is for the medley to be hearty!)

Place sweet potato into oven for about 1 hour and a half.

When the potato is finished cooking, set aside in seperate plate.

In a small skillet, glaze 1/2 tsp. of sunflower oil in order to prevent salmon from sticking.

Place salmon onto skillet and begin to cook.

In a large frying pan, begin to cut your tofu into desired shape and start to stir.

Toss in (whole) bella mushrooms in with the tofu.

Wash black kale and cut into pieces in order to make it easier to distribute it evenly into the medley.

Add in black kale and mix well.

Place cover onto the pan, reduce heat to minimum and set aside.

When your medley appears to look steamed, add your sweet potato chunks and mix.

When salmon is cooked thoroughly, squeeze some fresh lemon juice onto it to give it a little extra zing to it.

Drizzle your medley with desired amount of olive oil & add in turmeric, cayenne pepper & salt to taste.

 

Enjoy!

Sweet Potato Burgers

 

A (truly) delicious meat alternative!

 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

 

3 medium sized sweet potatoes (serves 4)

4-6 tsp. of spelt flour

4 gluten free buns

1 ripe avocado

1 white onion, sliced

Soy mayo to taste

 

STEPS TO YOUR DELIGHTFUL JOY:

 

Thoroughly wash your sweet potatoes and then slice in half. Place in a cooking pan and set oven to 400 C.

Bake potatoes for 1 hour and 20 min (or until golden).

When potatoes are ready, peel off the skins.

Place potatoes into a bowl, and begin to mash until creamy.

On a seperate wooden board, form your sweet potato puree into a burger shape!

Roll your patty into the spelt flour to prevent patty from sticking while on skillet.

Place patties onto the skillet and turn sides in order to gain the crispy & golden touch (15 min).

Place your spelt buns into the toaster (or oven) to heat them up.

Place your patty onto the bun.

Cut avocado in half, and peel off the skin. Begin to slice the avocado into thin slices.

Place a few of the avocado slices onto the patty.

Cut white onion into thin circles & place onto patty.

Top your patty with a little bit of soy mayo to give it a little texture.
