Salmon-alt Papaya Gravlax marinaded in crushed juniper berries, smoked paprika and Arctic Sea salt. A touch of the Nordics straight to you.
Guzzle something soft and slick down your gut.
This dish will topple your belief that vegan food can’t be simple to rustle up.
Make this:
- When you’re wanting canapés on the go and you’ve got guests to wow at your soiree!
- When you’ve got the in-laws over for the weekend and you’re wanting a create a massive impress
- When you’re wanting to create a magical private evening with your other half and nothing but the bees knees will do and who knows where you’ll end up… Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
Papaya Gravlax was inspired when wanting an alternative to salmon gravlax; with a salt and sugar brine and additional juniper berries.
Papaya Gravlax is raw vegan seafood, and paleo too.
