Sashimi Salmon Ceviche!!!!!

My family LOVES sashimi, especially sashimi salmon!! Made like this, and it is the BOMB!! We have a great specialty market, in the Dallas area, so it is easy for us to find sashimi grade salmon! YEA! Try this, you won't be sorry!  So many flavors exploding in your mouth, and it's really healthy, too!! Forewarning~ you'll be fighting over the last few pieces!! :)

Sashimi Salmon Ceviche!

What you'll need~ (it's up to you on the quantities!)

Sashimi grade salmon- cut in 1/4 inch thick slices

Bunch of arugula-tossed with some olive oil, bit of lemon juice, bit of seasoned rice vinegar, and some black pepper.

A large ripe peach, or nectarine- cut into slices

1 jalapeno pepper- cut into thin rounds on a mandoline (mine is from my garden, and was very ripe, so is red in pic)

Cilantro- chopped (use as much as you like, we always add more to each piece!)

Scallions, chopped small

Lemon juice from fresh lemons-coat each piece of salmon, completely

ponzu sauce-lime flavor, if you can find it, if not just regular ponzu

secame chili oil

course finishing salt

Assemble in this order~ tossed arugula all over bottom of platter, sliced salmon, lemon over all, slice of peach, thin slice of jalapeño, drizzle all with ponzu sauce and sesame chili oil, and top with chopped cilantro, scallions, and end with some course finishing salt! 

Plate, and enjoy all the delicious flavors together with that chilled buttery salmon! It's so amazing!! Have some 'cheers' with some hot sake and you'd swear you were in heaven, or maybe at Nobu! ;)

Turkey Chili!!! WOW, and so healthy!

 Turkey Chili!!!!

3 Lbs ground turkey
1 very large,  minced onion
2 Bay Leaves
1 good bottle of Mexican beer (Modelo)
2-3 Tbsp minced garlic
1 14.5 Oz. can Chicken broth
1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
1 4 Oz. can HOT diced green chilies
5 Tbsp Chili Powder-well rounded
2 tsp cumin powder
2-3 tsp salt-to taste
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 can chickpeas-drained
1 large can black beans-drained
1 pound bag of thawed,  super sweet corn
1 7 oz. container of 2% Greek Yogurt
4 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro,  plus more to serve chili with as a topper
3-4 avocados   cut into chunks-tossed with some lemon juice to keep them from browning-to use as a topping
Mexican blend cheese,  to use as a topper, too! :) 

Cook up the ground turkey meat with the minced onion, and bay leaves. Once cooked through,  add the minced garlic, cook for a few more minutes. Next, add the beer, chicken stock, and crushed tomatoes. Throw in all the seasonings, but do not add beans, yogurt, or corn just yet.

Let simmer for about 20 minutes,  then add the beans, corn and greek yogurt. Stir well, simmer for about 5 more minutes to let beans and corn get warm,  then you are ready to serve! Get your chili into bowls,  and serve with the fresh chopped cilantro, avocados,  and Mexican cheese blend! Can serve with sour cream, too!  YUMMY,  and so good for you!!!  It's a big WIN, WIN! :)
