Three course dinner

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.

This salad was supposed to be brunch. But it was way too much. The gargantuan size of the plate makes it look more reasonable, but there was no end to it. I ate half of everything, a very satisfying meal, and left the rest for dinner tonight.

It was half an iceberg lettuce, about 250 g of veal liver and about 150 g of chicken breast stir fried in olive oil with some Ketjap Asin and a bit of salt, two tomatoes, half a melon, green as well as black olives with selectively applied dressings of extra vierge olive oil, balsamico vinegar and lemon juice.

As a snack in the afternoon I had a few carrots and a handfull of white grapes.

I won't at all regret having the rest tonight. Desert will be a handfull of white grapes and a handfull of cherries.

For those who like to count their calories:
100 g veal liver: 185 kcal
100 g chicken breast: 158 kcal

The rest of the ingredients were listed in silly and unuseful quantities on the website I got this info from - things like a slice for melon and a bowl for cherries or grams for iceberg lettuce. But I estimate the total of the day (including the snacks) to be below 1400 kcal. I don't care because I don't count, but basically it means caloriewise I ate about three quarters of what a male adult should. Of course that is uninteresting compared to the fact that my food today was very nutrient dense and tasty. That's what counts.
