Well, after a HUGE break, I decided it might be time to revive the blog.
Dinner of choice was from Jamie's 30 minute meals again - this time the smoked salmon, potato salad, beets and cottage cheese with rye bread and home made butter.
Our starting ingredients looked a little something like this:
This sounded like a much more simple recipe than some of the others - mainly because a lot of the main dishes don't require any cooking.
Rye bread is served as is... off to a good start. Potatoes are boiled with lemon peel which I have to admit sounded a bit odd.
The salmon is placed on the board in 'rustic waves' which is just ridiculous, with horseradish, seasoning, lemon and olive oil.
The butter is the thing that really concerned me about this recipe. Now I know the basics, but I really did not expect this. You put double cream in a mixer with beater attachments and leave it et voila! butter. Honestly the thought of smearing double cream on bread really turned me off. Hubby enjoyed it though, so it can't be all bad. This is what the 'creamy' butter looked like:
The beetroot is cut and arranged with splashes of oil, balsamic, basil and cottage cheese.
The potatoes should then be done and you toss them with some dill, butter, olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
That's it... see, I told you this was an easy one.
So, our completed meal consisted of the salmon:
The potatoes:
and the beetroot:
This is how my meal looked:
Hubby took a slightly different approach and ate this like this:
In all the meal took way less than the 30 minutes to prepare - we were closer to 20 minutes.
There isn't much to dislike as it is more about arranging ingredients than cooking. Hubby really enjoyed this one. I thought it was ok, but the butter concerned me and I didn't really like the beetroot/cottage cheese combination... so mixed reception... on to the next one.
