Recipe Monday

Happy Monday! I hope that the sun is shining where you are too! Although, rain is in the forecast for tonight...
Hmmmm....

I hope you all enjoyed my meals on Saturday as much as I did. Some day we'll be able to do a scratch-and-lick blog screen for us food bloggers.... or maybe not... 

As promised, here are the ingredients for the Tuna Poke that my boyfriend put together.
Great, easy, super healthy, and tasty recipe. Try it. Bonus, it looks really cool.

Tuna Poke
Sashimi grade Ahi Tuna, fresh, diced
Splash of sesame oil and shoyu (or soy)
English cucumber soaked for ten minutes in rice wine vinegar and agave syrup (2 part vinegar, 1 part agave)
Avocado, diced
Green onions, sliced
Sesame seeds
Sriracha hot sauce

Dice the tuna into small squares. Place in bowl with sesame oil and shoyu. Add diced avocado, green onions, and sesame seeds, toss all to coat. Set aside.
In a new bowl, mix together the rice wine vinegar and agave. Slice cucumber into thin rounds and place bowl with vinegar and agave. Let sit for ten minutes or so in the refrigerator.

As pictured above, using a large round cookie cutter, arrange the soaked cucumbers around the edge of the cookie cutter. Scoop tuna mixture into the middle of the cookie cutter, so the cucumbers stay along the rim.
Place tuna, cucumbers, cookie cutter and all into the refrigerator to set for a few minutes.
When ready to serve, slowly pull off the cookie cutter and top with a small amount of Sriracha sauce.
Enjoy with Sweet Potato Fries.

Sweet Potato Fries
Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet potato
• olive oil or coconut oil, to coat
• sea salt, pepper, garlic salt

Slice, however works, the sweet potato into strips and place on a baking sheet. Toss with oil, seasonings, love, fairy dust, whatever else you can think of. Pop into a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes or until desired doneness (is that a word...?) and eat!
Serving suggestions: Eat with large amounts of Vegan Wasabi Mayo

• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2-1 tsp wasabi powder

Blend and done.

And what meal would be complete without dessert?

How about breakfast for dessert?!

And I just had to point out that the Tuna Poke idea came from one of mine and the boyfriend's favorite restaurants, California Cafe. Here is the one we have ordered (about every time we go there) and my boyfriend's version. The tastes, also, were so similar!

 

 Pretty Close, huh!
