Lomi Lomimaldives Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cover the salt salmon with water and soak overnight. Drain and rinse the salmon.
• In a large bowl, add the salmon, tomatoes, onions and green onions, and mix well. Add sea salt to taste. Chill. Just before serving, add the crushed ice.

Steps:

• Cure the salmon: Mix the salt and sugar in a bowl. Place 2 long pieces of plastic wrap on a work surface, overlapping them to form a cross. Put half of the cilantro sprigs in the middle of the plastic wrap and top with half of the salt-sugar mixture. Press the salmon into the mixture, making sure the bottom of the fish is covered with salt and sugar. Sprinkle the salmon with the remaining salt-sugar mixture and rub it in, then place the rest of the cilantro on top. Wrap tightly in the plastic and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• The next day, unwrap the salmon, rinse off the salt and pat dry. Cut into 1/4-to-1/2-inch cubes.
• Make the salad: Toss the salmon, cilantro, tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno, vegetable and sesame oils and lime juice in a bowl. (Traditionally, the cured salmon is flaked and "massaged" with the other ingredients by hand.) Garnish the salad with chopped macadamia nuts, if desired.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the salted salmon, tomatoes, white onion, green onion, sea salt and cayenne pepper. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve chilled.

Steps:

• To make the ginger juice:.
• Combine 1 cup peeled & grated ginger, with 4 cups boiling water. Strain. Alternatively you can boil the ginger until it reaches desired strength.
• You can also run fresh ginger through a juicer, if you have one, but the result is much more potent, so you won't need as much in the recipe.
• Ginger juice keeps for at least a week in the fridge.
• To make the Lomi Lomi:.
• I have put it in cups to make it easy, but here is the method to make as much or as little as you want.
• Mix 1 part ginger juice(1 cup), 1.5 parts lime juice(1 1/2 cups) and 1-3 parts honey (1-3 cups or to taste).
• Mix with lots of crushed ice, or blend the Lomi Lomi and ice together, like a frozen margherita(yum!).
• You will have enough ginger juice to make 3 more batches of Lomi Lomi!
• NOTE: Be sure to thoroughly mix the honey into the juices first while still hot, before adding the ice, or the honey will harden like rock and wont blend into the drink.
