Eating Healthy - Getting My Dip On (Recipe & Process)

in #partiko5 years ago (edited)

Thai style fish on a bed of couscous with crudités and a spicy cashew and avocado dip.


It's another seriously busy day for me which is why this quick Instagram type post.

...I like to think I'm adding a little extra value 😉 by including the recipe for the dip featured in the title photo.

The couscous is unflavoured apart from the runoff of the sauce from the fish. Crudités couldn't be simpler... basically carrots and cucumber chopped into little dipable batons.

The sauce for the fish was a little lemongrass, chopped fresh chilli, then I added some sweet chilli sauce, garlic infused oil and finely chopped spring onions. I ground this all together and then added both fish sauce and a bit of palm sugar (slowly to taste). Cut lines in your piece of fish, massage the sauce into the cuts and then wrap the fish up in tin foil with the remaining sauce. Let that marinate in the fridge for around 4 - 8 hours.


Spicy Cashew and Avocado Dip

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Raw Cashews

  • 1/4 cup Water

  • 2 Tbsp Lime Juice

  • 1 clove Garlic

  • 1/2 Jalapeno stemmed and seeded (add more if you like it hot)

  • 1/2 tsp Salt

  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cumin

  • 1/8 tsp Ground Cayenne

  • 1 large Avocado

  • 1/4 cup chopped Cilantro

Instructions

Combine cashews and water in a food processor or blender until smooth.

Add the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth. You can adjust consistency with water, if needed.

Cheers man. Yeah, it was a tasty and healthy dinner :)

you just made me hungry lol how are you @raj808?

Eating healthy it is part of our lifestyle, so finding recipes like this one it is very cool. I will tell @evecab we should explore new recipes to make our healthy diet more interesting and not monotonous.

Take care my friend.

Hi m8.

you just made me hungry

Ha ha, well... get your munch on brother ;)

how are you raj808?

Not great tbh. Chronic illness is still fcking me up... but I try not to think, or go on about it, too much.

I'm glad the recipe appealed mate. I thin if you just remove the fish element and jazz the couscous up with some veg and a nioce dressing it would make a fine vegan lunch/dinner. It warms my heart to think that my recipe will be made by friends half way across the world :)

How are you guys and little Tayel doing? I saw you injured yourself in Judo, but apart from that all ok?

I love everything that is spicy, I love fish, and I love it when you mix both plus the fresh cucumber, I think it's an excellent combination.

I love everything that is spicy, I love fish

Then this is the dish for you fmbs25. I'm glad you enjoyed the post and recipe idea :-)

That cashew dip looks fantastic! My boyfriend always loves dips, so I'm constantly trying out different combinations for hummus, guacamole and anything similar. I'll have to remember this combo to try out soon. Hope you're feeling well these days!

Yeah the cashew dip is a winner @plantstoplanks :)

Hope you're feeling well these days!

I'm glad the recipe appealed.... get yo dip onnnn 😂

Thanks for the recipe)) For the first time I see cucumbers used ... we usually have carrots and celery in little batons.

I've used celery in the past as well, it is so healthy and makes an excellent dipping utensil for a nice humus or Tzatziki.

I'm glad the recipe appealed @amalinavia.... get yo dip onnnn 😂

I love cashew and I think anything with cashew makes everything taste better. One of my favorite food next to bacon.
