Low FODMAP Samphire Tahini Poke Bowl
Do you know how often I cook a recipe from my own blog? Hardly EVER! Not because I don’t like them, on the contrary, otherwise I would have never put them online, but because I almost always busy testing new recipes.
Currently, I cook a recipe for my blog about 3-4 times a week and on the other days I am too lazy to cook something special or I make a recipe by somebody else that I would like to try.
BUT there is one recipe on my blog that I have made about five times already and that is the sushi bowl.
My mum loves it, my friends love it and I love it and it is so easy that it is a shame not to make it. And because this is one of my favourite recipes on the blog I made a new version: a samphire tahini sushi bowl.
That sounds quite exotic, doesn’t it? Samphire is a sea vegetable. It is quite crunchy and salty and tastes great in a sushi bowl. At first, I wanted to go for seaweed, but because I couldn’t find a low FODMAP seaweed salad, I opted for the samphire.
I have tried to find whether samphire is low FODMAP or not, but I can’t find any information about it. Because seaweed is also low FODMAP and these two are related to each other, I assume samphire is low FODMAP too.
I could eat it without problems, but if somebody knows more about this, I would love to hear!
In the meantime, I also found seaweed with less additives at the Asian supermarket, so I will soon share I recipe with this too. Stay tuned!
So back to the samphire tahini poke bowl. A poke bowl with smoked salmon, carrot, cucumber, samphire, edamame beans and tahini mayonnaise.
A cream mayonnaise with a slight sesame taste and that goes together perfectly with sushi. I also LOVE the salty flavour of the samphire, so I really enjoyed this sushi bowl.
And I believe my friend, whom I used as my testing victim, did too. I would love to hear what you think about it!
