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)

Dukkah Crusted Salmon

Did you ever try Dukkah? I love it!  It's  an ancient seed and nut mixture of old Egipt. I always have it in my cupboard; it's good as nutritious snack or with drinks before dinner (crusty bread dipped in oil then dukkah) and /or as coating for fish and meats. It gives a special taste and aroma to otherwise plain dish.

Ingredients:

Salmon fillets, or other fish (1 for each person)

Dukkah

oil for frying

Method:

Place some dukkah onto a plate, press salmon fillets onto it, turning to coat every side. Heat oil in a pan and fry on medium heat for 5-8 minutes, turning once. Drain on paper towel. Serve with potato salad

 Losos uvaljan u Dukkah

Jeste li ikada probali Dukkah? Ja ga obozavam! To je mjesavina zacina, sjemenki i orasastih plodova starog Egipta. Uvijek ga volim imati u teglici,  jer je dobar i hranjiv za brzi 'snek' ili uz pice prije vecere (hljeb umocen u ulje, zatim u dukkah) ili kao spremna mjesavina za pohovanje ribe i mesa. Daje poseban ukus i aromu jelima koje bi bez njega bilo sasvim obicno.

Potrebno: 

Fileti lososa (ili druge ribe), jedan po osobi

Dukkah

Ulje za przenje

Nacin:

Uvaljajte komade ribe u mjesavinu pritiskajuci blago svaku stranu.Zagrijte ulje u tavi i przite na srednje jakoj vatri oko 5-8 minuta, okrecuci  komade ribe jednom. Ocijedite na upijajucem papiru.

Servirajte sa krompir salatom

Salmon Pinwheels

Great idea for lunch boxes...only 6 ingredients!

Ingredients:
2 cups SR flour
1/2 tsp salt
30 g butter, cold in small pieces
3/4 cup milk
1 can pink salmon, drained, bones and skin discarded
1 onion, chopped finely
50 g butter - extra, softened
Method:
Place flour, salt and cold pieces of butter into food procesoor. Pulse until butter incorporated, pour milk while processing. Switch off when it starts sticking together into dough. Dust working surface with flour; roll out the dough into a rectangle (like for swiss roll). Spread softened butter, then place mashed salmon and onion onto it. Leave one longer side without butter /salmon (2cm): brush it with water, then make a roll. Cut into 2-2,5 cm length, place into greased muffin moulds (that way scrolls will keep their shape better). Bake 15-20 min on 180*C.
Makes 12-15 pieces.



Losos zavijutci

Odlicno za 'mobilni' rucak...i samo 6 sastojaka!

Potrebno:
2 solje samodizajuceg brasna
(ili obicno brasno + 3-4 k praska za pecivo, dobro izmijesano i prosijano)
1/2 k soli
30 gr maslaca iz frizidera, sjeckanog
3/4 solje mlijeka
1 konzerva ruzicastog lososa(ocijedjenog, bez kostiju i koze, ispasiranog blago)
1 crveni luk, sjeckan sitno
50 gr maslaca, dodatno, omeksalog

Pospite brasno po radnoj povrsini, razvaljajte tijesto na pravougaonik. Premazite sa maslacem, zatim lososom i lukom, ostavljajuci 2 cm pri kraju slobodno. Ovaj dio namazite vodom, zatim zarolajte tijesto (kao rolat). Rezite na 2-2,5 cm duzinu i stavite u namastene mafin kalupe (nije neophodno, ali tako ce bolje zadrzati oblik).
