What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Foodstuff Redefined: Zen Himalayan Plate! Go above ordinary ingredients and transform your palate with a meal on the Himalayan salt plate. Foods pick up a delicate saltiness that transcends the flavor and leaves behind monotony. By creating bite-size pieces of fish, shellfish, and cucumber sushi, nourishment balances out the inner peace from within. Good for health-crazed affenciados as well as those soul-searching for expression.
ZEN HIMALAYAN PLATE
Ingredients:
3.75-ounce tin Wild Caught Sardines, in olive oil
1 lemon, sliced and quartered
3.75-ounce tin smoked oysters
Fresh lemon thyme
7-ounces prepared crab dip
4 mini cucumbers, seedless
Fresh dill
Assorted crackers
Instructions:
Arrange sardines on a Himalayan salt plate. Drizzle with olive oil from the tin. Place lemon wedges on fish and garnish with fresh lemon thyme. Smoked oysters may be served in individual sea shells. Drizzle with sauce from the tin. Oysters may also be served on a cracker. To assemble the cucumber sushi, slice mini cucumbers into thick rolls. To remove the inside portion of each disc, place the cucumber on a cutting board, use a sharp knife, and rotate the cuke until the center is cut out. Make sure the walls remain. Discard fleshy pulp. Place the cucumber “rings” on the Himalayan salt plate. Spoon prepared crabmeat dip into each ring. Press gently to fill the sushi roll. Garnish with dill.
A lovely idea but I’ll give the shellfish a miss 😊🙃🙏

Some do, others don’t. It’s kinda like brussel sprouts. As hard as I try, they just don’t agree with me. 🤔🍃

I have a plate and a bowl which are fun to use for cold items. I am always afraid to use it for “hot food” Forget the sardines, I’ll take shrimp 🙂

Where on earth did you get wild caught sardines. I have never seen them anywhere outside of a restaurant.

I have an international food market about 50 miles from my house. Whenever I make the trip, I have a list of items. It’s wonderful. 👏

I would still take the sushi but would skip the shellfish and the oyster…

Years ago I would snack on smoked oysters while my husband would choose kipper snacks in a tin. That way we both had “terrible” bad breath at the same time. 🤣🍃🐟
