Simple Celebration Dinner

I had big plan for my 4-th anniversary (21st May) and 500 000 visits to my blog, which collided almost same day. Unfortunately, mother nature had her last word - flood in Bosnia happened and I didn't have any desire to celebrate. I was in my birth town with my thoughts and hart, feeling for my friends and family who had to suffer again.

Instead of that, here is suggestion for simple seafood dinner, which happened on 1/5 (Labor day in Europe; still very much celebrated).

-Cooked Prawns, bought

-Battered Seafood

-Panfried Salmon with Chimichurri Dressingū

-Tomato, Coriander and Cumin Rice

-Salad (mjesavina zelenih listova)

-Parfait Torte (next post)

Jednostavna  vecera za proslavu

Imala sam velike planove za moj 4-ti 'blogorodjendan' (21/5) i 500 000 posjetitelja, koji su se gotovo na isti dan susreli. Na zalost, majka priroda je imala zadnju rijec - poplave su se desile i ja naprosto nisam imala volje za bilo kakav znacajniji post. Mislima i srcem sam bila u mom rodnom kraju, osjecajuci za prijatelje i rodbinu koji su ponovno patili.

Umjesto toga, evo prijedloga za jednostavnu veceru sa morskim plodovima (koja se desila 1/5)

-Kuhane kozice, kupljene gotove

-Pohovani morski plodovi

-Losos sa Chimichurri prelivom

-Riza sa paradajzom, korijanderom i kimom

-Salata (green leaf mixture)

-Parfe Torta (sljedeci post)

Ingredients:
2 tbs oil (olive)
1 large onion, diced

Salata 'Ambrozija'

Divno osvjezavajuca, egzoticna salata. Najbolje ju je servirati sa ribom ili mesom sa grila / rostilja, ali je sasvim dobra i kao desert. Sljedeci recept se sastoji od samo 4 sastojka, mada postoje rezne verzije koje traze jos i dodatak sitnih marsmalova, grozdja, tresanja i orasastih plodova. Za mene licno, ova osnovna kombinacija je najbolja.

Potrebno:

Mandarine, konzervirane ili svjeze, sitni komadici

Ananas, konzervirani ili svjezi, sitni komadici

Kokos ribani

Kajmak / vrhnje / pavlaka (35% masnoce)

(podjednake kolicine ili prema vasem ukusu i zelji)

Nacin:

Pomijesajte sve sastojke. Uzivajte!
