pine seeds

salade germée 

 
There are many savours in this salad and the colours are on the soft side… There are lots or nutrients as I have used sprouted broccoli. The crispy part is done with some bacon and rye bread which is roasted in a the bacon fat.  The savoury side comes from the radishes and the sprouted broccoli which is balanced with the white current. The pine seeds add the nutty flavour and bring the “good” omega 3. For this salad, you will need:

  • 1/2 a lettuce or a small romaine head
  • 250 grams radishes
  • 200 grams bacon sliced
  • 100 grams pine seeds
  • 60 grams white currants
  • 25 grams sprouted broccoli
  • 2 slides rye bread
  • coconut oil
  • olive oil
  • juice of a lemon
  • mustard
  • salt
  • pepper

Wash the green leaves and pat them to dry. Wash then the radishes, slice them thin and put them in a bowl. Wash the white currant and let them dry. Cut the bacon in pieces. In a pan, on medium heat roast the bacon, once well done, remove it and keep the remaining fat in the pan. Cut the bread into dices and on medium heat also, roast the bread until golden brown. Once cooked put it aside. In a different pan, on slow to medium heat, roast the pine seeds with a bit of coconut oil.

In a dish, dispose the green leaves and the sprouted broccoli, add the white currants, the bacon and the bread. Top it with the radishes slices and the pine seeds.

Prepare the seasoning by mixing 4 table spoon of lemon juice with 6 table spoon of olive oil, half a tea spoon of mustard a pinch of salt and some pepper. Pour over the salad, adjust to your taste and enjoy.
