Creamy & thick Salmon, Bean & Yogurt mix



Ok so picture this ;

Its Sunday evening. Im at home, ravenous. I decide I do not want to order take out, I smirk at the pile of menus on my counter top and look at my darling kitchen.

I open my fridge. 3 ingredients stare at me longingly. I adopt a sudden urge to create a meal.

Why I have these three foods in my fridge :

Salmon - High in protein, low in fat & rich in prized Omega-3 oils.

Its by far my favorite fish to eat. Delicious.

Worried about levels of methylmercury in Salmon? In my opinion its nothing most people should worry about, but if you're particularly concerned ( targets are women who may become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children ) I suggest you take a look at this and make your own conclusion. Good news is, you can use any type of fish or meat instead of salmon.

Garbanzo Beans - Very good source of folic acid, fiber, and manganese. A good source of
protein, as well as minerals such as iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium.
- Whats not to like?

Greek Yogurt - Holla!

I believe I have made an extremely healthy pasta/risotto sauce, sandwich filler, salad addition or a chip dip if blended.

This mix is generously enough for 2 homosapiens.

Here goes :
  • 1 Can of Garbanzo beans. Strained.
  • 1 6oz cup of Greek yogurt ( I used fat free )
  • 8oz of smoked salmon. Cut into thin strips.
  • 2 tbsp of cold-pressed flax seed oil ( You can also use Olive oil )
  • 2 Tbsp Black sesame seeds
  • 1/3 tsp Garlic powder.
  • Sea Salt & Pepper ( I use Cayenne - always ) to taste.
Now mix all together. If the mix is too thick for your liking, then add a couple table spoons of hot water.

Thats it. Ta da.

I cooked 1/4 cup of organic brown rice and added the mix. It was enough for 2 people, but of course, I devoured the whole thing, shamelessly.

Needless to say - I slept very well that night. ZZZzzzz.
