Hot Pineapple and Avocado Salad

Hot Pineapple and Avocado Salad

This fruity salad is not just a simple and healthy mishmash of fruits. It’s really hot, energizing, and refreshing, it’s juicy and meaty, so it is so much more. Feel free to increase the hotness factor by seasoning with chili flakes. Also, flavor with parsley and garnish with lime wedges if you want.

Shakshouka

Shakshouka

You may have heard about the celebrated dish originating in the Maghreb. If not, you should know that it is definitely worth a try. Although apparently our version of the dish may seem vegetarian to some of you, it is not. In order to make it vegetarian, substitute the normal parmesan with a vegetarian one. You may have heard about that rennet thing they’re using to produce this type of cheese.

Garlic Mushroom Stir-Fry

Garlic Mushroom Stir-Fry

Simple, delicious, nutritious. This is how you can better describe this mushroom stir-fry. Mushrooms tend to be protein-rich and low-carb, but this is not to say that this dish is a vegetarian one. In order to achieve this, you should use a rennet-free parmesan (or change the cheese altogether).

Braised Marinated Rabbit

Braised Marinated Rabbit

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: if you eat meat, you should eat rabbit meat more often. It’s lean, it’s healthy and it’s pretty easy to cook. We’ve marinated ours before braising it and we used for that ginger, turmeric, beer, and chili among others. You should, too.

Baked Butternut Squash

Baked Butternut Squash

Baked butternut squash is amazing with its mild sweetness and its unique flavor. Here you have a butternut squash dish that is a dessert and a side-dish at the same time. Just flavor with cinnamon and olive oil and sweeten it more with brown sugar and forget about it for 1 hour in the oven.

Grilled Marinated Flank Steak

Grilled Marinated Flank Steak

If you like snacking on meat, then this recipe is for you! The flank steak, this grainier cut of the cow, lends itself so well to this. In order to avoid making it exaggeratedly chewy, you should cut the steak in smaller pieces (do that against the grain) and roast it for 3 hours. Generously flavor and spice the meat, first by marinating it in a hot mixture and then by serving it seasoned with curry powder.

Peanut Shrimp in Coconut Sauce

Peanut Shrimp in Coconut Sauce

And here’s another example of Asian cooking (Thai to be more exact) at its best. It’s hot and nutty, like in peanut and coconut-nutty and we didn’t use dairy at all. We substituted butter and milk with coconut oil and coconut milk. We would serve this over cooked rice, but maybe some of you would prefer it as is.

Beef Stir-Fry with Noodles

Beef Stir-Fry With Noodles

This ingredient-rich but still pretty light stir-fry was obviously inspired to us by the Asian cuisine. It’s low on calories and not that high in carbohydrates. The iron and vitamin B12-rich sirloin steak, marinated in soy sauce and fish oil, is the perfect match for the noodles. And that’s especially true when everything is cooked with caramelized shallot and ginger and served dressed with citrus juice.
