Lomi Lomimaldives Recipes

LOMI LOMI(MALDIVES)

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.

LOMI LOMI

Steps:

• Salt the salmon to the point where it has a light crust and let it sit in refrigerator overnight. Rinse the salt off the salmon and slice it into small pieces. Add the salmon to a large mixing bowl and add the onion and tomatoes. Mix with your hands, or as they call it in Hawaii, Lomi Lomi, a saying used locally that means 'to massage'. Serve chilled.
