Easy blood orange marinated salmon rice bowl recipe is my favourite dish

I’m a huge fan of everything salmon. Thats why I always try to come up with some new exciting and flavourful recipes. Since it’s blood oranges season at the moment and I love the flavour of citrus fruits combined with savoury food, I thought why don’t I try combining both things and pair it with lots of delicious veggies for a nourishing rice bowl recipe.

I love the process of developing new dishes. I take special care when Im in the process of cooking something new. I do every step very carefully and deliberately. My little black notice book always by my side.

Salmon rice bowl – easy, healthy an delicious

Im very proud to say that my recipe isn’t only extremely delicious it has a lot of healthy beneficials too and therefore perfect for including in a healthy well balanced diet.

• Salmon is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet. It’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a great source of protein and high in Vitamin B only to mention some of its healthy benefits.
• Kohlrabi is rich in both fiber and vitamin C. It is high in antioxidants and may help against inflammation and diabetes.
• Cucumbers are low in calories and contain a good amount of water and soluble fiber, making them ideal for promoting hydration and aiding in weight loss.
• The avocado is a rather unique fruit. It is high in healthy fats, is incredible nutritious and among other things, it can help lower cholesterol and triglyceride.

Can I replace the ingredients ?

Please feel free to use any veggies you like for this bowl. Go with the season and use whatever you get at your local farmers markets.

You can change the blood oranges for normal oranges or any other citrus fruit available at the moment. I already used clementines and limes instead of the blood oranges.

This is an easy recipe for a delicious kohlrabi lasagna with cheesy cream cheese layers and homemade tomato sauce. It’s the perfect recipe to add some extra vitamins to your family’s diet. Vegetable Lasagna! Yeah Baby 😉 .

Since I’m growing part of the food, we need, in my own little garden you’ll see me more often experimenting in my own kitchen than ever. I just love to pair new things like for this hearty vegetable lasagna.

About 5 years ago the only thing I would cook up with kohlrabi would be creamy kohlrabi and peas with sour cream. Now there is nothing I’m not trying to cook with these beautiful green vitamin bombs. I fill them, cook them in a delicious curry sauce, add them raw to my salad and I even put them in my morning smoothie.

My new favourite dish for my kohlrabis and garden fresh tomatoes is a delicious vegetarian lasagna. I know you’ll say lasagna? Oh no, so much work! But be assured it’s an easy recipe and the kohlrabi lasagna is ready for the oven in under 30 minutes!

Kohlrabi Lasagna and what to expect.

• There is no meat that’s why I previously said it’s a vegetarian dish 😉
• The kohlrabi slices are used instead of the pasta sheets, so no pasta either.
• LOW CARB BABY !!!
• There is a delicious fruity homemade tomato sauce in it.
• An extra creamy filling made of cream cheese and cheese and fresh herbs.

Kohlrabi and his benefits.

The kohlrabi is related to cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower and is also known as german turnip. There are 3 main kohlrabi sorts that are common: The white, blue and violet coloured lumps. The coloured lumps are worth buying if you get the chance. They may lower the risk for cancer and cardiovascular diseases. That means perfect for a diet and a healthy balanced lifestyle.

• Kohlrabi is low in calories. 100g of kohlrabi only has 26 calories-
• It’s perfect for loosing weight because of it’s low calories .
• 90 percent of the kohlrabi is made up of water.
• The vegetable is an excellent source of vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that protects your body from free radical damage and plays a role in wound healing, collagen synthesis, iron absorption, and immune health.
• Furthermore, it’s rich in vitamin B6, which supports immune health, protein metabolism, and red blood cell production .
• It’s also a good source of potassium, a mineral and electrolyte that’s important for heart health and fluid balance.
• Finally, a single cup (135 grams) of kohlrabi provides approximately 17% of your daily fiber needs. Dietary fiber helps support gut health and blood sugar control .
• If you want to know more about this power vegetable go to healthline.com for more information.
  

Making this vegetable Lasagna is easier than you might think.

First things first: Homemade chunky tomato sauce.

• At the beginning I peel the kohlrabi and cut it into half centimes or about 1/4inch thick slices and season them with 1 tablespoon salt.
• I start out with mincing the onions and cutting the tomatoes into small chunks.
• Then I head 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium large pan and saute the onions with no colouring for 8 minutes or until tender.
• Furthermore I add the balsamic, tomato chunks, sugar and salt and let everything simmer for about 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
• Turn of the head and let it rest until needed.

The second step: Cheesy cream cheese filling.

I take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator, 10 minutes before starting with the lasagna. That is an important step because if the cream cheese is to cold you can’t cream it properly.

Put all ingredients into a medium size bowl and cream it with a mixer or a fork until creamy. Season it again with salt and freshly grounded pepper if needed.

The important last step: Putting everything together to an amazingly delicious vegetarian dish.

Preheat the oven to 180°Celsius or 360°Fahrenheit.

I start out with the first layer and spread the kohlrabi slices evenly out on the bottom of my casserole.

Then I put put a second layer of my homemade chunky tomato sauce on top of the kohlrabi slices.

Furthermore I toped the tomato sauce with the third layer –the cheesy cream cheese filling.

After these 3 steps your start with the first layer again.

When I put the last layer of the cream cheese filling on top, I finish the casserole with sprinkling the rest of the grated cheese evenly on the lasagna.

Put the lasagna into the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.

Take the casserole form out of the oven and let it rest for 7 minutes before serving.

Can I swipe the kohlrabi for another vegetable ?

Of course you can but it might not be as good as it is with that power lump. You can exchange the kohlrabi with zucchini or aubergine slices.

I don’t live a vegan lifestyle but I try to do without meat 1-2 times per week. Sure you could eat a salad, a quinoa bowl, spaghetti with olive oil and salt. But I honestly love eating a good burger therefore it was time for me to get creative and back into my kitchen

I read a lot of recipes for meatless burgers but wasn’t satisfied with most combination. Don’t get me wrong I like sweet potatoes, spinach and so on but I wanted to try something else.

Since I bought fresh red beets two days ago at the farmers market I wanted them to be the main part in my burger patties . It is always the same concept for a meatless burger patty.

You need vegetables of course, something as a filler, what absorbs the liquid and a glue food which holds everything together.

After thinking those 3 parts through I came up with my ingredients. My vegetables would be red beets , spring onions and white beans. For the filler I would use oats, quinoa and ground roasted walnuts. Equally important as the first 2 parts is the glue. There are not many foods you could use as a glue. When you look through recipes its mostly eggs which get used in non vegan recipes and as a vegan substitution its almost always bananas for sweet baked good and a flax seed egg for savoury food. So flax seed egg here we come!

What is a flax seed egg? A flax seed egg is 1 teaspoon ground flax seeds mixed with 3 teaspoons water.

First things first!

At first we have to peel and grate the red beets. I would recommend wearing kitchen gloves and an apron. I think there is no further explanation needed .

After we have prepared the burger mass, sorry for not breaking the whole procedure down but just go some spaces down and there is the whole recipe step by step ;-).

So after we have prepared the burger mass we do the forming. Certainly you can form the burgers with your hands what gives the patties a rustic and authentic look. But I will tell you how I formed mine.

I don’t own a fancy burger ring mould. So I thought what could I use instead of it? It should have a straight bottom and the right size and than the light came to me: why not use my starbucks special edition destination mug? Straight bottom perfect size! Yes!

Once I found my mug I prepared the bottom and the sides with some olive oil, pressed about 3/4 cup of burger mass on to the bottom. Leveled it a little bit and then turned the mug with a little force and a clang onto a wooden board.

Perfect beautiful and round! That’s what it looked like.

You will get, with that recipe, the attention of all your family members. Not only because of the deep red colour but because of the delicious taste. Even my husband who doesn’t like red beets ate TWO burgers.

The best thing about these beauties is, you can prepare them in advance and they can be stored up to 4 days in the fridge. Thats perfect for all with a busy schedule, am I right ? Give me a fist pump, YES!

If you need a fluffy buns recipe maybe you wanna try our delicious recipe for fluffy turmeric brioche buns. Sorry they are not vegan but will meld in your mouth deliciously and have a unique colouring.

Antonia and I would love to hear from you so if you have any questions or complains leave a comment. I will answer them all. Please tag us on social media @twosisterslivinglife if you try one of our recipes, nothing is more satisfying than seeing others happy with succeed.
