I always try to cook seasonal foods as much as possible which is why I shop at farmers markets. I know everything I get there will be in season and local. I actually got this cauliflower in my CSA box so I knew it would be perfect with some simple grilled salmon so as you can see that’s what you’ve got. This is definitely Paleo friendly and is loaded with the good Omega 3 fatty acids.
Simple, healthy and delicious. Brilliant.
Serves 2
Recipe:
2 x 4-5 oz wild Pacific salmon
1 head organic cauliflower – roughly chopped in florets
After all the good Irish food & drink from Paddy’s Day I figured some of you guys might need a little cleansing food for the weekend. This is a great seasonal dish highlighting some beautiful lamb and veggies that some people may not use or even know of. I grew up eating turnips all the time. They have a delicious sweet nutty flavour. They’re in season right now but with spring just here you should take advantage of these great veggies while they last. Those of you who know my cooking style will know I’m all about simple delicious food and this definitely fits the bill. I didn’t want to mask the great natural flavour of the grass-fed lamb so I just enhanced it with some flavourful fresh garden herbs.
LAMB RECIPE:
Serves 4
2 racks of grass-fed lamb (16 chops)
1/4 tsp salt – use to season before grilling
1/4 tsp pepper – use to season before grilling
Mix all marinade ingredients together and toss lamb chops in marinade for at least 2 hours up to 6 hours, refrigerated.
Remove chops from fridge 1 hour before grilling to let return to room temp.
Preheat grill (outdoor or stove top) on medium for 5 minutes.
Season chops with S&P. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove from grill and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
