醋漬小番茄

用蘋果醋醃漬過的小番茄,加入兩三種調味料便可作零食

任何超市都能買到的小番茄,一般都會與沙律同吃,甚至作擺盤之用。其實,它可以獨當一面成為單點前菜呢~ 用蘋果醋醃漬過的小番茄,加入兩三種調味料便可作零食,蘋果醋本身亦可直接飲用,兩者一起是非常清新的配搭,在潮濕悶熱的春天最適合不過了!蘋果醋富含果膠、維他命、礦物質及酵素,又如番茄雖入口帶酸,但這些有機酸在體內代謝後便呈鹼性,有助降低膽固醇,清洗消化腸道,排除毒素,極具保健療效。


材料:
小番茄二十粒,米酒或清酒75ml,水200ml,白糖一湯匙,蘋果醋50ml


做法:
1)小番茄沖洗乾淨後,在底部用小刀在表皮輕輕劃上十字切
2)燒熱一鍋水,用有洞的大湯匙分三次放入小番茄燙二十秒左右
3)隨即放入冰水,在水中溫柔地剝走番茄皮
4)倒入酒和水到鍋,用中火煮令酒精揮發,再加白糖
5)放入處理好的小番茄用小火煮三至五分鐘
6)連水倒入大碗稍微放涼,加入蘋果醋待完全冷卻,置於雪櫃醃過夜


小貼士:
a)保持乾淨的情況下,醋漬小番茄最多可冷藏保存三至四天
b)任何種類的醋均適用,根據醋本身的酸度來調整糖的份量
c)在步驟二不要貪快一次放入所有番茄,鍋子裡的水溫會急速下降

Tips:
a) The pickled tomatoes can be refrigerated for 3-4 days

魔鬼牛油果

把原有的蛋黃醬換成原味乳酪,以少量日式胡麻醬、紅椒粉和黑胡椒粉調味

祝各位復活節快樂!魔鬼蛋(Deviled Egg)是西方派對上常見的一道開胃菜,做法簡單方便,配料變化多端。傳統的魔鬼蛋會先將雞蛋煮熟,取出蛋黃並加入蛋黃醬、茄膏、醋和鹽等拌勻,再釀回蛋白窩中。今次我用了同一個概念,添上新意,做了另一款以牛油果為主角的版本。把原有的蛋黃醬換成原味乳酪,以少量日式胡麻醬、紅椒粉和黑胡椒粉調味。這個改良過的做法較為輕盈低卡,吃起來應該沒有那麼大罪惡感吧,倒不如換個名稱作「天使牛油果」會否更適合呢哈哈~ 牛油果含有豐富不飽和脂肪酸和纖維,有助降膽固醇,幫助腸臟蠕動及穩定血糖。這道菜式可作日常的早午餐,飽腹感滿分,無需爐火,小朋友也可參與其中,簡單快捷之餘味道亦一級棒呢!


材料:
牛油果一隻,小番茄六粒,厚切火腿半塊,核桃兩粒,原味乳酪兩湯匙


調味料:
日式胡麻醬半茶匙,紅椒粉適量,黑胡椒粉適量


做法:
1)小番茄及火腿切粒,核桃用手剝碎
2)牛油果切半去核,打菱角切起肉倒入一碗內將其挖空,外殼備用
3)將牛油果壓成蓉,加入乳酪拌勻,再加入番茄粒,火腿粒和麻醬稍微拌勻
4)把(3)緩緩釀入牛油果殼,放上核桃碎,灑上紅椒粉和黑胡椒粉即成


小貼士:
a)可因應個人喜好隨意加入其他配料
b)我選用了低卡的日式胡麻醬調味,若果覺得不夠鹹的話可自行加鹽
c)牛油果必需新鮮即吃,否則好快便會氧化變黑


Ingredients:
1 Avocado, 6 cherry tomatoes, 1/2 piece of thick cut ham, 2 walnuts, 2 tbsp natural yogurt


Sauce:
1/2 tsp Japanese sesame dressing, sweet paprika and black pepper


Method:
1) Cut cherry tomatoes and ham into small dices. Chop the walnuts
2) Cut the avocado in half and remove the kernel
3) Slice the avocado diagonally and put it into a bowl. Set both avocado and its skin aside
4) Combine the avocado mash with natural yogurt. Add tomatoes, ham and sesame dressing
5) Place Step 4's mixture into the avocado skin, add walnuts, paprika and black pepper


Tips:
a) You can add any other ingredients based on your own preference
b) I have chosen a low calories version of Japanese sesame dressings, you can add extra salt in it
c) Avocado has to be consumed once you peel it off
