Last weekend I invited my parents over for a three course dinner.
A dinner in true paleo-stile, that is.
So for starters I made a salad made of shrimps and tangerines, mixed with some sweet chili sauce (great stuff) and just a bit of black pepper powder. I served this on large leafs of iceberg lettuce.
(and was buried under compliments and 'oohs' and 'aahs'... it was really well received. Thanks Cornell for the recipe).
The main dish was prepackaged fish (pangasius) in a curry sauce (sometimes I go for the easy solution).
With that I served stir fried vegetables (onion, chestnut mushrooms, sweet pointed bellpeppers and courgette) with oister sauce, and a salad of iceberg lettuce, pieces of peach (from a can) and feta-like salad cheese, seasoned with some olive oil, dark vinegar and a bit of sweet chili sauce.
I served this with a really nice white whine. Delicious.
For desert I offered some sharonfruits (my parents had never tasted those before, but really liked them) with nice red grapes.
and then coffee with chocolate (no it's not paleolithically correct, but hey, medicinal reasons, as Cornell would say).
It all goes to show that a delicious three course dinner is possible paleo-style.

Amazing salad
And now for my first blog post made from my laptop ...
In my search for easy to make, yet fulfilling meals, that are not pizza's or microwave meals, in a sudden flash of inspiration I made up a delicious salad.
Well, it was not all inspiration. Actually I had one can of tuna left, and wanted to eat something with tuna in it to reduce cost. Yes, wast not, want not is my motto. Well, actually it's not my motto, but I haven't figured out what my motto is yet, so it might as well be.
Anyway: I bought a 300 grams bag of mixed salad, added two tomatoes in cubes, added the tuna (not the can), and while adding I broke it up in pieces. Then I added some extra vierge olive oil, some red vinegar and a bit of sweet chili sauce. I stirred it all and voil'a ... in less than five minutes I had an amazing salad.
Cornell can testify to the amazingness of this salad, as I made it for him too last weekend.
It was great, wasn't it?
