Also in August, I keep my promise to publish a recipe inspired by Japanese cuisine every month. The recipe that I propose today is straightforward, it is prepared in 5 minutes and requires very few ingredients. It is a fresh and light salad with an original flavor of sesame. It is an ideal recipe for summer since it does not require cooking and it is eaten cold. It is a perfect dish to make a fresh and healthy snack, but it can also be used as an accompaniment to other more elaborate dishes. I hope you like it as much as I do 🙂

Also this month, I continue with my promise to publish a recipe inspired by Japanese cuisine every month. This promise I made was one of my New Year’s resolutions, and the truth is that I am thrilled, since, until now, I have been able to fulfill it. This idea came to me because in September I will travel to Japan for the first time and I am very excited.

The recipe that I propose today is straightforward to prepare and requires only a few ingredients. It is a very light and fresh cucumber salad called sunomono. It is an ideal recipe for summer since it does not require cooking and it is eaten cold. It is a very comfortable and versatile dish and can be used as an appetizer or as an accompaniment to a more consistent dish such as a roast, for example. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do 🙂

Phase 1 · Phase 2 · Phase 3 Serves: 1 - 2 Prep Time: Cooking Time:

Ingredients

  • 2 cucumbers
  • 1 tablespoon of birch xylitol or stevia to taste
  • 1 teaspoons of ginger: fresh and grates or powdered
  • 2 teaspoons of tamari sauce
  • 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar in P1 or apple cider vinegar in P2 and P3
  • 1 teaspoon of pink or marine salt
  • 1 teaspoon mix of dried seaweed in F3 (optional)
  • 1 pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel the cucumbers, leaving some strip of skin on each cucumber so that they are scratched.
  2. Cut the cucumbers into thin slices; It is ideal to make them with the mandolin, although a sharp knife also works.
  3. Put the cucumber slices, add the salt and mix well. Let stand about 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the birch xylitol or the stevia, the grated or powdered ginger, the tamari sauce and the vinegar. If you use the xylitol, you have to beat until it is completely dissolved, if it is necessary, the vinegar can be heated slightly to make it easier.
  5. With your hands, squeeze the slices of cucumber a little so that they release part of their water.
  6. Mix the cucumber with the sauce, and leave in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  7. Just before serving, sprinkle each portion with one piece of black pepper.
  8. [OPTIONAL] In F3, you can sprinkle with the seaweed that you prefer.

Tabbouleh (or tabulé) is a recipe of Lebanese and Syrian origin, very fresh and light, for this reason is the perfect food for the summer. It is a cold salad based on Bulgur and fresh vegetables; To adapt it to the FMD, I decided to change the Bulgur by whole spelt cous cous and the result is great.

Personally, I am very fan of this recipe, because apart from being delicious is also very quick to prepare. It is a perfect first course for Phase 1.

I hope you like it 🙂

The gazpacho is a light and fresh dish typical of Spain. It is a cream of vegetables very adapted for the summer.

Like many traditional recipes, there are many different versions of gazpacho, some more traditional and some more creative. For example, last year, I create a recipe for gazpacho with cherries that took the Gazpacho Experimental prize in the contest of gazpachos in La Principal.

Today I propose a simpler version with a more traditional flavor, accompanied by pearls of balsamic vinegar and mint leaves.

Leave me your opinion in the comments 😉
