Cheesy Thai Avacodo and Tuna Bake.


For some reason this recipe makes me think of Hawaii. Maybe it needs some pineapple to make it a truly bizzarre dish.
I am a master of making kick arse food out of the few ingredients in the empty fridge. I do have an awesome pantry which helps a lot. Stock that fucker up with stuff and you will never need go hungry again.
Ok, so this dish is burk. I love it.
Recipe for 1 so just multiply accordingly. The kid is at Nanna's so it's just me, the avocado and some gin, perhaps later some Dollhouse for some Alpha action. Yehhhpha.
Anyway, viewing habits aside, this is how it rolls -

Cheesy Thai Avocado and Tuna Bake

Looks like a big shiny cheesy fucking mess of yum.

Methode Champanoise-

Base 1 avocado per person.
Cut in half, and lay it on a tray on some foil hole side up. Do chuck the stone. I think you can grow it into a tree like this.... so cool.


Topping per person -

1 stick celery chopped into tiny little bits
30 ish Thai mint leaves
1 stick spring onion (or green onion, or scallion, or whatever the fuck they are called).
1 medium tin of tuna in oil, drained
1 tsp fish sauce or oyster sauce
1 tablespoon of sushi ginger chopped teeny
2 tablespoons of sushi seasoning or vinegar
2 tablespoons mayo
1/2 to 1 cup of grated cheese for on top of the mess.

Methode Champenoise Gruet-

Mix all the topping ingredients together except the cheese. Taste it. Yum hey?
Blob it all over the avocado. Then put cheese all over the top. Grill under hot grill* for about 10 - 15 mins until Ballistic like a Missile!

*but not too close to the elements/gas, I took out the tray thingy and put the tray and foil at the bottom.

So good, I ate it in about 7 minutes whilst blogging the awesomeness.

CRAZY AWESOME LEMON MOUSSE

Ok, I am going to do this one in two parts. First will be the mousse, as it is easier to make. The lemon butter is a bit tricky (in other words, I have to make it again to remember how I did it the first time!).

I believe in sweets. Sweets are what makes life worth living when your a single woman with no time for sweet lovin' action with the lads. Sweets finish the day. They get you ready for a night alone with True Blood.

Um, oh shit, yeah, enough about my sad night life.

So to the recipe for the creamy lemon mousse pud. This recipe is raw, vegan, gluten free and sugar free. It can be made with honey (not vegan) or maple syrup if you prefer.

I just invented -

Crazy Lemon Mousse

Ingredients

To make 1 generous serve or two wimpy ones that will leave you crying for more.....

1 cup of cashews soaked overnight in water.
1/2 squeezed lemon and its zest (add more lemon juice at the end if you like it)
1 1/2 teaspoons of natural sweetener of choice
Water, about 1/4 of a cup to start and then add in table spoons if you need more.
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger

Method


Chuck all the ingredients in a whizzer of your choice (vitamizer, cafe express, food processor)
Whizz until smooth, add more water and lemon juice and sweetener as needed. Should be a mousse like consistency. The cashews get very smooth. To serve, top with a tablespoon of lemon butter, a sprinkle of powdered ginger and a slice of lemon. If you don't have lemon butter mix some sugar free jam with lemon juice. NOM! 

Using whizzed cashews is so cool. You could make choccie mousse or a berry one, vanilla or even use it as a base for kick arse vegan savoury dips. And it is good for you, well, as long as you don't have anaphylactic reactions to nuts. But hell yeah! This shit is good for you and nearly anyone can eat it. Even kids will gobble this stuff up. I love giving it to my 'I hate nuts' daughter!

Triple YUM BUMS for this one.
