Super Simple Watermelon Poke Bowl

Featured ~ Karine K ~ 1 Comment
Super Simple Watermelon Poke Bowl
Super Simple Watermelon Poke Bowl

This is a super simple watermelon poke bowl. Because who has two hours to fuss in the kitchen? You make the marinade, you let the watermelon soak in it overnight, and the next day, you have poke. The marinade is tangy and has the perfect bite. You can leave the watermelon in the marinade even after it’s ready, and simply take out what you need with a slotted spoon until no more.

In its traditional form, poke is diced raw fish served either as an appetizer or as a main course and is one of the main dishes of Hawaiian cuisine. I love the simplicity in the way this bowl is assembled, with only fresh add-ons like marinated cucumber, avocado and green onions. Try it and let me know what you think!

Raw Wild Rice Salad with Apple and Pomegranate

Raw Wild Rice Salad with Apple and Pomegranate
Raw Wild Rice Salad with Apple and Pomegranate

Do you know Aris Latham? He is the driving force behind SunFired Ra Cuisine. He is a great soul that truly inspires me, someone I consider a master when it comes to clean eating. In his ebook, SunFired – Festive Raw Food Recipes, Baba Aris instructs us to soak wild rice instead of cooking it. We let it bloom, which means we soak it for 24 hours, changing the water after 12 hours. The reason wild rice doesn’t need to be boiled is because it is actually a grass. Keeping it raw will therefore keep its nutrients. SunFired Food is the bountiful cuisine prepared by the best chef of all, the SUN. He adds: โ€œThe growing period is the cooking processโ€ฆ we do not cook the sun out of the food.โ€ So yes, let’s explore!

For another wonderful recipe with wild rice, please check out this Wild Rice with Acorn Squash, Caramelized Onions, Pomegranate and Maple Vinaigrette.

Hearts of Palm Ceviche

~ Karine K ~ Leave a comment
Hearts of Palm Ceviche
Hearts of Palm Ceviche

I’ve always loved hearts of palm. I would simply slice them up and season with sea salt, pepper, and a dash of olive oil. But there was something about their texture that made me think they would be absolutely perfect in a fish-less ceviche. And I was right. This Hearts of Palm Ceviche is bright and colorful. It is perfect served with tortilla chips, on a tostada, or, my favorite way, on plantain chips. It would also look lovely as an appetizer for a more formal affair, served in martini glasses and a delicate spoon. Either way, the taste is absolutely fresh and fantastic. Try it now!

Also add the avocado at this moment, if desired. Serve with tortilla chips, on a tostada, or with plantain chips. Or simply serve with a spoon! Bon appรฉtit!

Notes

Leftovers can be kept in the fridge overnight, but the ceviche is so much better fresh.

Jicama Salad with Creamy Tahini and Dill Sauce

Whoa! I never knew I’d love this Creamy Tahini and Dill Sauce so much. It is so very versatile. Last week I served it with roasted potatoes, and now it shines bright in this lettuce-free salad of jicama, corn and zucchini. This Jicama Salad with Creamy Tahini and Dill Sauce is also completely raw and oil-free. I also love it because it’s fast and fresh, and doesn’t require the use of a blender, unlike many other raw sauces.

Marinated Cucumbers

These Marinated Cucumbers are so versatile, and a great place to start when building a bowl. I love them topped with raw vegetables soaked in fresh lime juice or as a side to this Super Simple Watermelon Poke Bowl.

*Note that this can also be done with zucchini for stellar results.
