Pot-Roasted Salmon With Olives & Preserved Le Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
4 salmon cutlets
1 olive oil
1 salt and pepper
4 carrots
6 oz green beans
4 oz pitted black olives
1 preserved lemon
6 oz fish stock
1 tbsp chopped parsley
Recipe Preparation
Preserved lemons are salted lemons - cut a vertical cross in each
lemon and stuff with sea salt - preserve in lemon juice for a few
weeks in an air-tight jar. If you don't have them use ordinary
lemons. The advantage of the preserved ones is their mildness and
tenderness, so you can eat them. The unpreserved ones tend to be too
bitter. If you don't have fish stock use 3 oz each white wine and
water.
Method: Brown the fish in olive oil using the casserole you will use
for the roasting. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Peel and
trim the carrots and cut lengthways into thin strips. Top and tail
the beans and roughly chop the black olives. In the same pan lightly
colour the vegetables in hot oil. Add the black olives and preserved
lemon, cut into eight segments, and toss in the oil.
Pour over the stock, bring to the boil, lower the heat, lay the fish
on top and cover with the lid, and tinfoil if using. Cook over a
moderate heat for eight minutes, basting the fish twice during the
process. Remove the fish and keep warm. Continue cooking and
vegetables with the lid off until tender. Serve with the fish on top
and sprinkling of parsley.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weightMake sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Use reduced carbohydrate chocolate bars for chocolate muffins. If you have taken the time to convert your most popular chocolate chip cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soya flour, you really shouldn't add in those high carbohydrate chocolate chips. Break up a reduced carbohydrate chocolate bar into tiny pieces and use that in its place.
* Make low carb bread crumbs for breaded foods. Whilst you can buy reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs, you can make them at home by simply using low carb bread. All you have to do is simply toast the reduced carbohydrate bread in the oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is quite hard and crispy, grind it up in your food processor or blender. Keep in an airtight jar or container.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, onions and spring onions)
The onion family of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is too little scientific proof available, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce problems with blood circulation, arteriosclerosis and insomnia.
Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so make sure you add them to your diet system.
