Mothers Day Post Mortem: Surviving a Family Brunch

May 10, 2009

We survived the on-slaught of pancakes, french toast, croissants and english muffins by chowing down on paleo-friendly brunchware:

  • scrambled eggs
  • gravlax (formerly mentioned cured salmon
  • Peameal bacon
  • strawberries, pineapple and grapes

Brunch was as satisfying and filling for the paleoliths as it was for the neoliths. The problem? What to do with leftovers.

We had 5lbs of leftover gravlax, and a pound of leftover cooked peameal bacon. Having overloaded on proteins for brunch, we felt compelled to feed our bodies something green with the leftovers.

Recipe: Cured Salmon Tartare and Asparagus Salad

Ingredients

    1/4 lb cured salmon
    8 sprigs of asparagus
    1 head of frisee
    1 tsp of capers
