Tomato & Chilli Relish Paleo diet recipe sauce dip

Recipe: Tomato & Chilli Relish

/0 Comments/in , /by

What better way to finish off a paleo burger, than with a generous serving of home-made relish? This relish is tomato and chilli – but unlike most relish recipes, I've used medjool dates instead of sugar to add some sweetness.

If you like your relish hot, add some more chillies to your mixture.

Ingredients
  • 100g (3.5 oz) Brussels sprouts
  • Splash olive oil
  • 8 rashers bacon, diced
  • 2 large carrots, peeled & diced
  • Knob of butter (or use extra olive oil, if you don't do dairy)

  • 1 tablespoon of chopped coriander (cilantro)
  • 1 tablespoon of hazelnuts, chopped
Instructions
  1. Peel the exterior leaves off the sprouts & remove the tough ends. Cut the sprouts in half & finely slice them.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the bacon for a few minutes. Add the carrots and cook for a further 5 minutes, making sure you keep stiring to prevent it from sticking.
  3. Add the butter (or extra olive oil) to the pan along with the sprouts, and stir for another five minutes. You need to keep heating until the sprouts have started to soften, but still have some crunch in their texture.
  4. Season and serve, garnishing with the coriander (cilantro) and hazelnuts.

Griddled tuna steaks with coriander and capers paleo recipe fish dinner lunch-min

Recipe: Griddled Tuna Steaks with Coriander and Capers

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

When cooking tuna steaks, only the best will do. Buy ‘Sushi Grade’ tuna, which you can effectively eat raw, and cook it to medium. This way, the fish will do the talking, and you won’t need overpowering sauces or marinades to make it palatable.

Griddled Tuna Steaks Ingredients:

  • 2 sushi grade tuna steaks
  • 1 small handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp capers, rinsed and dried
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 spring onions, trimmed and chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Griddled Tuna Steaks How To:

Heat a griddle to a very high heat, and brush with a little olive oil.

Whizz together all the ingredients, bar the tuna, to form a light dressing. Set aside.

When the griddle is really, really hot and the oil is smoking, throw on the tuna steaks. Sear for 1 and a half minutes each side, so still pink in the middle. Remove from the heat, and drizzle with the dressing.
