Summer is here! Well and truly. Perth is HOT. Tonight is a real stinker in fact, one of those nights that only a salad or a smoothie will do for dinner.

Maybe a salad like this one perhaps? A sweet, crunchy, nutty salad that is perfect on its own or alongside some grilled pork belly. Mmmmm-mmmm! Delish.

NOTE: This salad is one of the beauties I contributed to Jasmine Mathew’s upcoming Summer Cleanse. Need a bit of a cleansing in your life? Suss the details out here and jump on Jasmine’s waiting list! Alright, onto the recipe…

Sensational Stuffed Tomato Halves

Aug 27, 2013 By Claire in RECIPES 5 Comments Tags: detox, liver cleansing, whole foods

I, Claire Baker, am here to tell you that whole foods, sourced as close to nature as possible (think: pulled straight out of the ground or lovingly picked off a tree) are easy to prepare and taste amazing. Sensational, even. This recipe is testament to that.

My sister and I made this dish one afternoon; we found the therapeutic method of scooping out the tomato flesh, plus the glorious smell of garlic, fresh herbs and pine nuts toasting in combination with the wholesome (and gluten-free) addition of millet made this dish a winner all round. Satisfying and mouth-watering and nourishing and fun.

Perfect for a fancy lunch or a side dish at dinner, these Sensational Stuffed Tomato Halves are cleansing for your liver, friendly to your wallet and waist line and quite aesthetically pleasing too. Meaning, they look so-damn-fine on the plate. Enjoy!

As you may or may not know, I am on a serious detox mission. I am going through my life with a red pen and crossing out all the things I don’t like and rewriting my essay. I will update on this over the next few weeks but so far I am slowly moving through the sections of my life; career, location and exercise. Next up ‘toxic people’: people in my life that don’t enrich, support and inspire. But then it got me thinking… there was one little friend that I was neglecting. My poor liver! In the past I have been a bad friend and I almost wondered if our relationship was irreparable but then I read this quote and felt so much better;

Every 35 days, your skin replaces itself. Your liver about a month. Your body makes new cells from the food you eat.

Your new food literally becomes you. You have a choice in what you are made of.

Wow! Our bodies are amazing… and so forgiving. It was time to show that ugly little organ some love!
