Power cuts, rationing or sky-high energy prices? Who knows what this season will hold. Cooking without power may sound apocalyptic, but there are plenty of ways to get creative in the kitchen, all while keeping electricity use to a minimum.From a nutritional point of view, it’s recommended not to consume more than five grams of salt per day — the equivalent of one teaspoon — according to the World Health Organization.
You probably already know the trick of salting the water to cook rice and vegetables, not to accelerate the cooking process, but so that the sodium penetrates to the core of the food for thorough seasoning. And it is this phenomenon that is interesting to note when it comes to cutting power use.It is possible to cure foods, or achieve a form of “cooking,” which is compared neither to pan-frying nor to eating raw. This is the principle behind a recipe of Swedish origin called gravlax.
The idea is all the more interesting since salmon is not the only choice here. Trout can be prepared using the gravlax method, or white fish such as cod, or even mackerel if extremely fresh. While the chemical process is different, “cooking” gravlax with salt is a similar approach to dishes cured with another natural ingredient, namely the acidity of lemon juice.
It’s possible to mix things up by preferring a milder citrus fruit, such as orange, as long as you add another acidic source, such as cider vinegar.
