Honduran Salpicón- Keto#EatTheWorld

Beef Salpicón is a traditional Honduran dish that is both delicious and very easy to make. It's actually a meat salad served over steamed rice or veggies, totillas or lettuce leaves. What I like about this recipe that doesn’t require any additional fats or oils, the dish is low in fat. It's a perfect keto meal recipe. This Honduran recipe is prepared with culantro, which is a variety of culantro with large leaves that grow from the root. Since I did not have this, used coriander leaves, which I, read in google can be subsituted for it.

Ingredients
To Stew The Beef
1 Kg Boneless Beef
2 Medium Tomatoes - diced
1 Medium Onion - cut in fourths
4 Clove Garlic
1 Red Pepper
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 Culantro Sprigs - I used Coriander Sprigs
To prepare The Salpicón
1 Red Pepper - finely diced
1 Small White Onion - finely diced
½ Bell Pepper - cut into fine strips
½ cup Bitter Orange Juice (or substitute with lemon juice or vinegar)
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 Tablespoons Chopped Coriander Leaves
To Serve
Tomato, Onion & Avocado
Method

Put the beef in a pot together with the tomato, onion cut into fourths, garlic and red pepper. Cover the ingredients with water and cook over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for 2 hours being careful to remove, from time to time, any foam that might form on the surface of the water. You will have to stew the beef until it’s very tender, about 2 hours, adding water if it gets too dry.

Once the beef is tender, season with salt and pepper and add the sprigs of coriander. Turn off burner and let the stew cool completely. Strain the stock and serve it as a consommé or use it as a stock for another soup or in a different recipe.

Shred the stewed with a fork. Put the beef in a bowl along with the diced red pepper, white onion, bell pepper, vinegar and more salt and pepper to taste. Add the chopped coriander leaves.

Serve with salad, rice, steamed vegetables instead of rice and tortillas, or in use salpicón as the filling in lettuce wraps. It's a light dish that will fill you for hours and give you energy. Enjoy!! Refrigerate to serve the salad cold, although it's best when served at room temperature.

Vegan Italian Pasta Salad With Basil Dressing#SundayFunday

So flavorful pasta salad with fresh herbs, tomatoes, olives, pickled pepperoncini's, red onion and a basil dressing. It’s perfect for potlucks and picnic's. This Vegan Italian Pasta Salad is quick, easy to put together.

For Pasta Salads, cook the pasta a little longer than the directions given since Al denté is ideal for hot pasta dishes, but for pasta salads it should be a little softer/slightly overcooked pasta. Pasta firms up a lot once it’s cold hence a slightly overcooked pasta works best for salads.

Ingredients 
For The Basil Dressing
¼ Cup Olive Oil 
1 Teaspoon White Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Water
½ Teaspoon Sea Salt or to taste
¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
¼ Teaspoon Onion Powder
¼ Teaspoon Sugar
12 -15 Fresh Basil or more to your taste
¼ Teaspoon Dried Basil
¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
For The Salad
2 Cups Boiled Pasta
1 Cups Cherry Tomatoes - chopped
2 Tablespoons Fresh Herbs (I use basil, thyme & oregano)
⅓ Cup Green & Black Olives - chopped
1 Small Red Onion - chopped
1 Tablespoon Pickled Pepperoncini's - chopped

Method

Cook pasta according to package instructions, but add an extra minute to the cooking time. The pasta should be just slightly overcooked .
While the pasta is cooking , let's prepare the dressing.

Add all of the dressing ingredients to a blender. Blend on medium-high speed until the dressing is a creamy light green with plenty of fresh basil flecks are seen throughout.

Drain the pasta and transfer it to a large bowl. Immediately toss the hot pasta with ⅔ of the dressing (enough to liberally coat). Chill.
Once the pasta is cold, mix in dressing mixture, tomatoes, olives, chopped herbs, pepperoncini's, and red onion. Chill. 

Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Easy In A Minute Super Thick Mayonnaise#SuperClubSaturday

This super thick mayonnaise is made in one minute! Thick, creamy and super easy to make, homemade mayonnaise is delicious. This recipe is no fail recipe! The color is yellow because I used American mustard paste, there is no difference in taste.

Ingredients
¾ Cup Extra Light Olive Oil
1 Egg Yolk
2 Teaspoons Dijon mustard - I used American Mustard
1½ Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
½ Teaspoon Level Lemon Juice
¼ Teaspoon Sea Salt or to taste

Method

Place the ingredients into a pint-sized, wide-mouth mason jar. Insert the immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the jar. Start blending and leave the blender at the bottom for 10-20 seconds, allowing the mixture to start emulsifying.   

Once the ingredients are incorporated you see it thicken at the bottom then keep processing immersion blender pulling it up and down until completely blended.  

Use a spatula to stir the mayo vigorously after blending to smooth it out.   

Store in the fridge for 4-5 days.

My Notes

If you like a strong mustard taste then increase it by ½ teaspoon.
