Recipe of the Week - from Tootoomoo

Thank you to our friends at Tootoomoo for another great and simple to follow recipe!
















Salmon Tartare

This recipe is not only easy to follow, it is also packed with healthy proteins and omega 3 and super low in carbs!  You could also swap salmon for tuna or beef.
Ingredients

-          Sushi grade salmon/ tuna (allow 150-200g per person)
-          Avocado
-          Chives
-          Sesame oil
-          Mirin (Japanese rice wine)
-          Soy sauce (preferably Japanese soy)
-          Wasabi (kizami or fresh wasabi would be amazing, paste would be alright)

Instructions

-          Dice sushi into fine pieces (or chunkier if you would so prefer). A very easy way of doing so is by scraping the piece of fish with a teaspoon. Using this method also helps eliminate the sinew or lining as opposed to using a knife.
-          Mix soy and mirin into the diced salmon at a 1:1 ratio, add a couple drop of sesame oil, finely chopped chives and wasabi (please add wasabi to taste, fresh wasabi gives the extra crunchy texture)
-          Roughly dice the avocado, season with black pepper and set aside
-          Using a cake ring, lay avocado in the base and give it a gentle firm push to set the shape, then apply the same to salmon on top
-          Remove ring and voila!
-          Tobiko (fish roe) could also be added on top as a garnish

Martine and Natalie Vegoda – Accupuncture and Reflexology

Sisters, Martine and Natalie are committed to offering complementary and alternative health care of the highest standards of safety and quality.

Acupuncture forms one of the therapeutic branches of an ancient integrated system of medicine known as Chinese medicine. Originating in China, and having 2,000 years of undisturbed continuity, it has evolved since then to become the systematic, modern form called traditional Chinese medicine.

Reflexology is an ancient holistic therapy based on the principle that all of the organs and systems of the body are mirrored through a network of zones and reflex areas on the feet. Energetically, all of these zones and reflexes are connected through a number of meridians.

Martine and Natalie are now offering treatments at the studio on Tuesday's.
