The weather is starting to warm up so, unless there is a cold snap, this dish is not likely to appear on our menu for quite a while. I was looking for recipes in which I could leftover sushi because sushi salad doesn't always feel right to me in Winter months.
Maybe I should've labelled this recipe “Sushi Pie” because I always have leftover sushi for this pie: the seafood and seaweed is cut up for the filling and the rice is included in the mashed potato.
Lately we have had leftovers from our weekly takeaway sushi. Inspired by reality TV cooking shows and the sushi salmon salads I enjoyed while working in North Sydney, I created a ‘sushi salad’ that I serve with our dinner the following night.
I'm slowly catching up on posts related to our holiday back in April. (Four months ago ... that's a lifetime in our fast-paced world!)
Following the format of my Away from home posts, this post describes our grocery list, the meals we prepared and some of the restaurants and cafés we visited.
I love oysters and always prepare them for special occasions and holidays. This is probably my favourite dressing and it's so quick and easy to prepare.
From my Instagram feed it would seem I spend more time eating out than cooking, but what the feed reflects is a regularity and sameness to what we eat. I work 2-3 nights a week so we fall back on quick and easy meals like noodles, tacos or Turkish pide, dips and tabouli; do takeaway or dine at a local restaurant a couple of nights, which basically leaves the weekend for trying anything new that I might photograph.
So, when Hubby and I manage to get away, we relish a chance to try different dishes and I end up posting about a couple of weeks worth of photos in a couple of days.
This laksa is surprisingly quick to make. Replace the coconut milk with skim evaporated milk and coconut essence for a lower-fat version.
Hubby and I seem to be slowly ticking off state capitals when we take our annual leave. This time we flew to Adelaide, South Australia. We last visited Adelaide about 10 years ago. Back then we stayed at Glenelg, a beachside suburb, about a 30-minute tram trip from the CBD. This time we stayed in an apartment in the CBD.
Similar to past Away from home posts, this post describes our grocery list for the week, the meals we prepared and some of the restaurants and cafés we visited.
Another trip, another city. This time we visited Brisbane, staying in an apartment in the CBD. This post describes our grocery list for the week, the meals we prepared and some of the restaurants and cafés we visited.
Oysters are a special treat for Hubby and me—we order oysters whenever they appear on a restaurant menu and I will prepare them for special occasions. Oysters Kilpatrick is an old favourite.
We tried a salmon niçoise at the Sydney Food & Wine Festival and loved it so much that it is now a staple dish in our diet.
A special dish!
I like to serve this dish for romantic dinners or special occasions such as anniversaries.
