Just a quick word for inspiration! As everyone knows, organic eggs are a part of a paleo diet’s basics. They may be consumed in the form of omelettes, scrambled, poached, fried, Benedict, mushed… Or boiled. Here’s my breakfast with couple of eggs and some nnnice olives, recommendable! I actually often prefer olives to olive oil, something to chew on 😛
And now, after the basics of paleo below (see Omelette and Coconut Cream&Berries), something a little more advanced: paleo sushi (to be exact, sushi means vinegar rice so these really aren’t sushi, pardon my Japanese). Sashimi is already nicely paleo and the sushi rolls only need omitting of the rice, not too complicated. It’s possible to do these in the form of temakis (bigger rolls eaten with hands), makis or why not just throw everything on a plate and not roll at all. Rocks anyway.
The idea has long been maturing in my mind and this pushed me over the edge to actually prepare them. I experimented with two different meats (cold-smoke beef and suolaliha, salty meat?!) and cold-smoked salmon, the last one being absolutely the best. Other one of my favourite was the one where I substituted the rice with grated carrot; very, very moist and tasty! These would probably work also brilliantly with whitefish that is thinly sliced and salted (graavisiika) and with some smoked ham. And of course the Japanese thin omelette, Tamago.
Riceless maki rolls
Prepare the veggies by cutting the into long matchstick size sticks, also the avocado. Take out the nori sheet and place it on a sushi mat. Cover it evenly with the meat/fish/omelette leaving a little space on the other end of the sheet. Place the desired veggies in a row quite near the low end as shown in the picture and roll, roll, roll! If you want to, you may used a little wasabi inside the rolls as well, rubbing it into the meat (thin “stripe” under the veggies). Use a little water to slightly moisturize the end of the sheet to make it keep together. Cut into bite size portions with a sharp knife.
OR proceed as above, but instead of covering the sheet with the meat, cover it with grated carrot (or maybe cucumber, courgette or whatnot) and place the meat similarly to the veggies in the previous one.
Serve with organic Shoyu soy sauce, wasabi and nori, sushi ginger.
So next time I wanna put a maki feast together, I’m gonna opt for:
I’ve never really liked omelettes that much, even tho they are very popular among people eating paleo or low-carb. I’ve always found them too dry and sort of repulsive. Until I travelled to Krabi a few weeks ago and ate an omelette every second morning! These ones were moist, soft and buttery-tasting, absolutely delicious. I spent several mornings watching the staff preparing my omelette and tried to absorb the correct method. But, as you can tell from the picture below, I’ve not yet mastered the demanding skill of preparing an omelette.
Anyway, this tastes brilliant! And feel free to perfect your own omelettes quite as well as you can 🙂
Omelette
Mix the two eggs in a cup, add water and season. Chop veggies or other additions. Heat some coconut oil or butter on a pan and let the veggies/ham/etc. soften for a while. Pour in the egg mass and prepare either scrambled eggs (as presented on the picture) or a proper omelette. Serve with a generous amount of raw and steamed veggies.
I used bell pepper and spring onion in my eggs this time, served with veggies and steamed broccoli and young okra. Works! Now off to the pool to utilize some of the paleo brekkie energy, see ya!
This is one of the super easy paleo snacks/breakfasts/desserts that has had plenty of media time in numerous Finnish “health” blogs. So if there anybody who still hasn’t found it, recommending to try and variate it according to your taste. Also easy to take on road since coconut milk/coconut cream keeps well in room temperature when not opened. And if you are using any nutritional supplementation in the form of powder, many of them go easily along with this one, as well as added fibre.
Paleo “yoghurt”
Mix together, that’s it.
