YELLOWFIN TUNA AND MANGO VODKA CEVICHE

Ceviche is a fun and delicious South American dish. Usually served in the morning and afternoon.

Ceviche is basically a method where you cook your protein in acid usually from an acidic fruit. The usually protein is fresh caught fish.

1 tsp of honey
3 tsp of soy sauce
Juice of 2 oranges
Juice of 2 limes
1/4 cup fine diced red onion
1/4 cup vodka
1/2 ripe mango, diced into 1/4 inch cubes
1 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar
6 ounces sashimi-grade tuna, diced into 1/2 inch chunks
3 mint leaves, rolled and thinly cut
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper

Medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and citrus juices. Stir in onion, vodka, and mango. Add the vinegar and tuna. Stir in the mint leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for no more than 15 minutes, so you don't over cook the tuna. Serve immediately.

Expanding your pantry; Asian Greens

This will be my first post in the "Expanding Your Pantry" series of posts.

Asian greens: Chinese broccoli also called Gai Lan, Baby Bok Choy or Pan Choi and Choy Sum

The Chinese have been using greens for food and medicine since the fifth century. Greens contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, potassium, calcium, magnesium, beta-carotene, vitamin C, folate, and other B vitamins.

Great for the immune system. Valuable nutrients are best obtained when greens are eaten raw, microwaved or stir-fried.
