Recently I have been posting heaps of sweet treats – #pimpingpaleo!  So for the next few postings you are going to see more savoury recipes to balance it all out!  The first hitting the interwebs is…  tada… Primal (cos I’m using dairy) Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Blini.  Why blini, beside its history, I think it sounds so much more classy and exotic than piketes, don’t you? 

Anyho here we go…

Sometimes you just need a little something under your smoked salmon. So searching the web for a paleo or primal blini/piklete/pancake recipe I found this one at wholesomekids. It was so quick and easy to make, I had them out of the mixing bowl, into the pan and onto the plate in less than 10 minutes. 

Perfect for a weekend brunch/lunch or how about making them tiny and cute to taste tempt a party.

Monday night and after a long day at work I just want to get home, change into comfy clothes and blob in front of the fire.  So what to cook that takes minimal effort, hits the taste buds and uses up all the left-overs from the weekend?  

Fritatta, that’s the answer.   But not just any old “mix up a few eggs and stuff” one, this is super special it’s Soufflé Fritatta.  We can thank the lovely Michele Tam over at Nom Nom Paleo for the inspiration for this fluffy little number. 

This recipe is another one from the More or Less category, so use your imagination for the filling or just chuck in whatever is in your fridge!

Ok right up, those of you who think using a microwave is not Primal enough can still make this easy peasy Hollandaise Sauce the long way.  Unfortunately, it won’t be easy peasy.  Look for a recipe that calls for double boilers, reducing liquids and other words like that and give yourself a good 30 minutes from pot to food. 

So while you are waiting for your eggs to poach and your bacon to fry and you are thinking something buttery and creamy would just add to your morning, then this is the sauce to make right now!

Hollandaise Sauce

  • Servings: 4-6
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

50g butter
1tbsp lemon juice
2 egg yolks – free range; well beaten
¼ c cream – (whipping, heavy, double or what ever you call it where you are)
½ tsp dry mustard
¼ tsp salt

  • In the microwave melt the butter, covered, in a bowl for 30 seconds.
  • Stir in lemon juice, then egg yolks and cream.
  • Return to the microwave and cook for 30 seconds, stir and cook for a further 30 sec.
  • Add mustard and salt.
  • Beat until smooth.
  • Pour over eggs or anything else.
  • Eat.
  • Smile!

Ok – buttery sauces like this can easily separate (or split), if they get too hot.  If this happens to yours then place the bowl in a sink with cold water and beat the mixture until it combines.  Or throw an icecube in the sauce and beat.  Essentially you want to cool the sauce quickly and beat at the same time – this should bring it all together.
Double smile!!
