So, this post is in dedication to Emily, my flatmate. Don't worry,
it's not an "in loving memory", she is alive and well, but she does move
out Lolo's HQ in a few weeks. After two years of madness, an alarming
number of Green & Blacks chocolate bars and 90% onesie wearing
around the house I will miss my partner in crime. She has been a great
support of Lolo's kitchen - from being a guinea pig, sous chef and cheerleader.
Maybe this post should be a dedication
to her new diet she has to follow. After some extensive tests, poor Embo
has to endure a new regime for 12 weeks. That means no wine, (I repeat,
NO WINE, the insanity) no citrus, dairy, berries, sweets, fried
food...the list goes on. It goes on for about seven pages! But, there
are some things she can eat more of which is very exciting. Tofu,
sesame, oily fish, nuts, soya, avocado and red meat being but a few.
Hoorah! All mixed together, no thanks. But, I was inspired to make sure
my Embo had a tasty dinner she could easily cook up.
Sesame,
so I'm told, is a great source of calcium - and tahini paste is
something to behold. A wonderful base for marinating, dressings, sweet
fillings, spreads... And so readily available in stores now.
You
can make this recipe with any sort of noodles, swap tofu for
chicken/beef/pork- whatever you please. I like soba noodles for this, as
it's a great cold - pack it away for lunch al desko!
Fresh, healthy, Spring clean for your tummy
