A minimalist plate that works both as breakfast and as a very simple dinner. The base is salted herring or mackerel with a sprinkle of seeds, sprouts, fermented vegetables and olives. A portion of fruit is served before the main plate, and a little dark chocolate or nut bread can follow after. This is a keto-paleo formula for days when there is no time to cook, but a complete meal is still needed.
- 1 slice of salted herring or salted mackerel
- 1-2 tsp seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, flax)
- 1-2 tbsp extra virgin oil
- A handful of sprouts
- 2-3 tbsp fermented vegetables (sauerkraut, kimchi, fermented carrots, etc.)
- Handful of olives
Place the herring or mackerel fillet in the centre of a plate. If the fish is very salty or packed in a lot of brine, it can be gently patted dry first.
Sprinkle the fish with seeds. If desired, drizzle with good quality extra virgin olive oil to add healthy fats and round out the flavour.
Arrange sprouts and fermented vegetables around the fish, then add a handful of olives. The result should be a simple but structured plate that combines protein, fats, fibre and fermentation.
