Healthy recipes

Sounds bloody good Megzee
chinese style steamed fish (chili, garlic, soy, ginger etc) is my go-to for something healthy and satisfying.
Simple recipe, you'll find heaps of versions on the internet...
Add some brown rice and steamed asian veg and you've got a feast.

Another good one is vietnamese-style rice paper rolls.
chicken or firm tofu (or lean beef, or even fish... or roo, anything goes) marinated however you like (lemongrass is good), crunchy veg (carrots, snowpeas, cucumber etc), avo, mango, leafy greens, mint, coriander, vermicelli and/or rice noodles.
Grille the meat, cut the relevant stuff into strips, wet your rice paper, chuck in whatever seems good, wrap it up and throw in your gob. Good stuff. For a good dipping sauce, mix up some hoisin, sriracha, soy, peanut butter, lemon and a touch of brown suger, heat it up on the stove (or even the microwave) and mix it up... taste and adjust.

Yeah, my stomach's rumbling just from typing that.
Word of caution - the rice paper's pretty finicky and tends to split if you leave it too long between wetting it and wrapping it... some brands hold together better than others too (can't remember the name of the one I normally use unfortunately).

I'll bet... guess I'm just telling you what you already know!

Spuds in coconut oil and whole grain mustard.

Level = piss easy.

Chop spuds and roast in coconut oil and wholegrain mustard.

Ta da!

(Great topic megzee, good one).

Great topic megzee, I get the feeling it will be a good one like the vegie thread.

Mine's questionable on the "healthy" topic, but was an old favourite on just about every voyage we ever did. My custom was to leave port cooking a traditional lamb roast with all the normal trimmings. Would always get a decent sized leg of lamb or two and the leftovers were used for a curry the following evening.

Lamb (obviously)
Onion
Garlic
Tandoori paste
Garam masala
Lime leaves/lime rind/lime juice
Chillies
Coconut milk/cream
Chopped tomatoes
Stock/water
Mango chutney
Sultanas

Serve with rice, snow peas, and poppadom's!

Contrary to popular belief, we didn't eat fish that much when we were at sea. After dealing with them all day, generally the last thing you wanted to do was sit down and eat it too! But, we would eat it probably around once a week and couldn't get any fresher!
You need inspiration once in a while from the standard fish dishes and I love curries but can't be assed with making a paste from scratch, but this one was pretty easy and delish!

Fish cut into chunks
Onion
Garlic
Red capsicum
Paprika
Ground cumin
Ground coriander
Ginger
Chillies
Fresh or dried curry leaves
Cherry tomatoes
Tomato paste/puree
Coconut milk/cream
Lime juice and grated rind
Orange juice

megzee, yep, roasted. Turn on oven to 200 or so. Scoop a few heaps of coconut oil into oven dish/tray and place in oven so it melts (if you're up north it will already be in liquid state so just pour it in).

When it's melted add a few scoops of grain mustard, swish it all around, throw in chopped spuds, smear 'em around so plenty of coconut and mustard on each one and roast away. Boil spuds first before chopping if you like, it gives the middles a fluffier texture.

Roast till they're all crispy. That coconut mustard crispy flavour is great.

Hahahaa, very far from it megzee. I can butcher (ruin) a meal as good as anyone.
Just a love of good food and learning from good cooks.

Nice one too Patrick. I'll definitely try that one. Sometimes I struggle getting crispy soft fluffy roast spuds!

papa used to make it fresh whenI was there with fresh squeezed coconut milk, (he'd sieve the milk from grated coconut meat).

Tuna,
lime juice
red onion,
cucumber.
salt and pepper.

easy peasey.

let us know how you go.

"Large fresh tuna just landed on my doorstep" ..I was gonna say you must live bloody close to the water until you clarified it was for services rendered.
I've never had tuna done that way , out of curiosity , what sort/size did you score megzee .?

Haha nice megzee.
I agree on the size thing , I wasn't actually thinking old mate fisho needed a forklift to deliver it though .
Yellow fin is awesome. The colour looks nice. Bon appetit

hahahahah, sounds good.

not my recipe though.

stayed with Papa and Ginette at Teahupoo and it's theirs. I think every Tahitian family would have a slightly different take.

few Hinano tallies, some fresh poisson cru after getting barreled at Chopes is living the good life.

Hey megz
That should be wave of the day

Can you pm me the lat and long :)

Cheers megz
