The Other…other…other Egg
Written by Mike Cheliak on March 29, 2009 – 3:45 pm -What are the best eggs you likely never eat? Fish Eggs. Caviar has over 3 times the Omega 3 Fatty Acids as does the equal amount of Salmon. A lot of you may be saying “yuck” but unless you have ever tried Caviar, you won’t appreciate that it is actually really good!
You may also say “not a chance, it’s too expensive”. That is true of the world’s finest caviar from Iran or Russia but you can easily buy Domestic Caviar (usually Salmon Roe) for around $20 per ounce which goes a long way. CLICK HERE to visit an online Caviar Broker to check out the many options available.
This is just another case of trying new things in your food. It’s easy to get bored with food. If you toil in the kitchen and don’t try new stuff from time to time, you will easily fall into a rut. I eat pretty healthy (mostly whole foods) and I very rarely suffer any kind of staganant rut in the kitchen. I love cooking and love to experiment.
Here are a couple simple ideas using Caviar that will blow the socks off of your OMEGA 3 levels!
IKURA DON
Take a bowl of steamed rice (I love Jasmine) and top it with a couple small strips of Grilled Ahi Tuna (2 ounces), 1/4 cup of diced avocado and 2 TBSP of salmon Caviar.
CAVIAR OMEGA OMELET
Beat two OMEGA enriched eggs with a little 1% milk. Add 1/2 tsp dill and 2 TBSP of finely shredded green onions. Cook your Omelet and add 3 TBSP of Caviar just before your eggs are set. Fold over and top with a little plain yogurt or low fat sour cream.
Yummy on both counts. My wife and I love sushi and the Ikura Don we make is a nice twist on the more traditional Japanese dish with just steamed rice and fish eggs.
I really hope you give these little gems of power a chance. Good quality Fish eggs don’t taste fishy or salty and can add a lot of class to any occasion!
In happiness and health as always!
