Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2-3 Purple Potatoes , quartered
  • Chicken Bone Broth or water
  • ¼ C Olive Oil
  • ¼ C Lime Juice
  • Sea Salt & Pepper

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in pot and cover with broth.  Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until for tender.  Drain and immediately place potatoes back in pot and add EVOO, salt & pepper.
  2. Mash with a Potato Masher or a fork and add lime juice little by little. You want the mashed potatoes to be a touch dry so they hold their shape.

Green Beans

Ingredients

  • 1 Bag (10 oz) Green Beans , Fresh or Frozen/Thawed
  • Sea Salt & Pepper

Directions

  1. Dice Green Beans into bite sized pieces. Season with Salt & Pepper. Set Aside.

Mediterranean Style Poke

Ingredients

  • ½ Lb Ahi Tuna , cut into bite sized pieces
  • ¼ C Shallots , diced
  • ¼ C Olives , chopped
  • 2 Cloves Garlic , minced
  • 1 Tbsp Capers , minced
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Smoked Shoyu or Worcestershire

Directions

  1. This is just like a Hawaiian Poke, but with Mediterranean flavors.  In a bowl, mix the Tuna, Olives, Garlic, Capers, and Shallots. 
  2. Drizzle just enough EVOO and Shoyu to pull it together.  
  3. NOTE: you can also use Canned Tuna in place of the raw Ahi. If you swap to canned tuna, add a couple tablespoons of Dijon Mustard.

Hard Boiled Eggs

Ingredients

  • 3 Eggs
  • Sea Salt & Pepper

Directions

  1. Place eggs in pot and cover with water.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 7 minutes. 
  2. Drain and cover in ice for 7 minutes.  Peel and slice. Season with Salt & Pepper.  Set Aside.

Tomatoes

Ingredients

  • 2-3 Roma or Kumato Tomatoes
  • Sea Salt & Pepper

Directions

  1. Slice Tomatoes. Set Aside. Don’t season until the dish is assembled or the tomatoes will release their moisture.

Assembly

Directions

  1. Prepare a spring form pan by lining it with plastic wrap. Next, layer the ingredients in this order:
  2. 1. Half the Mashed Potatoes
  3. 2. Green Beans
  4. 3. Mediterranean Poke
  5. 4. Eggs
  6. 5. Second Half of the Mashed Potatoes
  7. 6. Sliced Tomatoes
  8. 7. Season with Salt and Pepper
  9. With each layer, pack it down slightly and smooth out the layer so the Causa stacks up evenly.
  10. After final layer, refrigerate for 60 minutes before removing the springform pan and cutting the Causa – this will help it hold together.
