sarahfaeLast night I made dinner, using the Titan Peeler and the Titan Julienne Blade. I learned a bit more about the fancy Peeler, and gained a tiny bit of frustration along with it --- mainly because I haven't quite gotten my technique down. But I haven't grated my fingers or knuckles yet, so that's a good thing.
First I started with the Mango...peeling it's skin off first...
After I peeled the Mango I continued forward with dinner prep and Julienned it. This was very difficult to do because Mango's are slippery little buggers! I did manage to Julinne most of the Mango, but boy was it a task!
For $3.99 I can send away for the Slicing board that makes jobs like Julienning a Mango a lot easier, so I think I'm gonna do that.
Anywho - back to dinner prep!
After the Mango I Julienned half of a Cucumber, going around the cucumber like you would if you were peeling it and stopping short of the seeds. Here's the Mango and Cucumber hangin' out together...
And then I added some Julienned Carrot to the mix...
After the Mango, Cucumber and Carrot were all happy together I threw in a little monkey wrench: finely diced Red Bell Pepper...
(Sorry! Crappy picture!)
Oh but that's not all...
Topped with mashed Avocado (seasoned w/ a dash of Braggs and a dash of Agave), and my very own Raw Cheeze Powder recipe (I'll be posting the directions for that in the near future).
Seriously - the combination of the mango, cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, and avocado are probably my favorite to date. Such a simple meal, but SO full of flavor.
Yay Titan Peeler!!
