TUNA LOVE

This tuna salad is great to make at the start of the week so you can just bring some everyday to work or school for lunch. I usually have it on some wholemeal sourdough bread or rye bread.

You need:

4 canes of tuna in water (drained)

1/2 red onion

1 orange capsicum

2 tbsp of lemon juice

(Your choice: 2 tbsp of sour cream or natural yogurt)

100 g of mayonnaise

2 sticks of sellery

2 cloves of garlic

1/2 chili

How to:

Finely chop all the ingredients. This is important for the texture of the salad. Add it all to a bowl, season with salt and pepper and stir. Add the lemon juice as well as the mayo (and sour cream). Mix until you get a creamy salad. Put in a sealed container. There you have a healthy lunch, in no time at all! 

ENJOY!

SPRING INSPIRED DINNER TABLE

Are you having guests this weekend and you have no idea on how to set the table? I like to keep it simple, yet I want it to look like I've made an effort. Use seasonal flowers that are easy to find. Also, be creative with what you can find outside your door!

Do dress a boring white serviette I used christmas old three decorations supposed to be reindeers antlers as well as a little branch from a shrub outside. Cheap and elegant.

I like to use many different sized vases in one environment. This is actually old jars, you can use any type of them. Add random flowers. I have used tulips and hyacinth, some different branches etc. I have gone for a subtle color scheme - light blue, white, purple and pink.

To tie the whole table together I have used silver in both the cutlery and also the candle holders. I have kept it simple by using white candles. Another think that I have done to tie the flower compositions together is to use ivy branches from one end to the table to the other end, as seen in the photos. 

Good luck!! 

CHINESE 5 SPICE CRUNCHY CHICKEN SALAD

Best warm salad ever!!!!!

You might think that "warm salad" sounds a bit weird, but its actually really nice! Its also very healthy and contains loads of good bursts of flavour.

You need for 2 people:

2 chicken or duck breast filets (ideally with skin)

1 large handful of bean sprouts

Seeds from 1 pomegranate apple

65 g of rocket salad

65 g of a red lief salad

15 sugar snaps chopped

2 cloves of garlic finely sliced

1/2 green apple in small dices

1/2 chili finely sliced 

1 tbsp of finely sliced ginger

Chinese 5 spice

Salt and pepper

Sunflower oil

How to:

Start by frying the garlic, chili and ginger in a very hot pan with a good splash of oil. Fry until crispy. When done, put it on a paper towel to remove some of the oil. This will also keep the ingredients crispy. PS! Keep the oil for later when you are frying the chicken. This is because the oil will be full of good flavours from the chili, ginger and garlic.

Prepare the other salad ingredients in a bowl.  Then slice the chicken or duck filets in small squares and season with a generous amount of "Chinese 5 spice", salt and pepper. Fry in a hot pan. While the chicken is still warm add it to the salad. Mix. Put the salad in a nice serving bowl and sprinkle over the chili, ginger and garlic you made earlier. 

Theeeen EAT!

Enjoy!
