KREM SALATA OD PILETINE, ORAHA, CELERA I JABUKE

Krem salate su izuzetno praktična stvar kada se radi o posluženju većeg broja gostiju. Mogu se napraviti unapred tako da ste taj dan slobodni da se malo odmorite i posvetite sebi, izuzetno su izdašne i po mom iskustvu svi ih vole. Ja sam veliki ljubitelj istih i do sada ste mogli kod mene naći recepte za  Krem salatu od piletine, šampinjona i pirinča, Krem salatu od piletine, susama i kikirikija, Rusku salatu, Mimozu, Ivinu salatu, Crvene paprike u čaši, a daće Bog biće ih još.

Interesantno je što mi u Srbiji ovako bogate i kremaste stvari nazibamo salatama, ali šta da se radi. Kako god da se zvale bitno je da su ukusne. Ako do sada niste probali koren celera i jabuku u slanoj varijanti nemojte se plašiti jer oni ovde daju svežinu salati. Jabuka ne može da se prepozna kao sastojak ako ne znate šta je unutra tako da nevernim Tomama ne morate ni reći šta je unutra, da se ne mršte unapred i bez potrebe.

KREM SALATA OD PILETINE, ORAHA, CELERA I JABUKE

500g belog mesa
150g oraha
100g očišćenog celera - krupno rendan
1 kiselija jabuka, oko 250g - krupno rendana
3 tvrdo kuvana jaja - kockice
300ml majoneza
oko 360ml kisele pavlake 20%mm
1-2 kašičica limunovog soka
svež peršunov list
so

Skuvati belo meso. Iseći ga popreko na 2-3 dela pa ga kad se ohladi  usitniti da bude končast ili kako god volite. Orahe ako želite možete tostirati, tj. staviti u tiganj i malo ih prepeći. Ohlađene orahe staviti u plastičnu kesu pa oklagijom nekoliko puta u nekoliko pravaca preći preko njih da se malo usitne, ali ne previše. Sve sastojke spojiti. Ostaviti da se salata dobro ohladi pre serviranja. Ukrasiti polutkama oraha. Piletina upija dosta soli pa pre serviranja i sipanja u činije proverite da li je dovoljno slano, pa doterajte ukus (so i limunov sok).

CREAMY CHICKEN, CELERY, GREEN APPLE AND WALNUT SALAD

I adore creamy and rich salads, as we call them here in Serbia. Russian salad can be found in every household on New Years Eve, but these kinds of salads are often prepared when large gatherings are in question. They can be served in puff pastry shells or with bread and crackers. They make a great sandwich spread. Here are some more salads from my blog that we enjoy here in Serbia. 

500g chicken breast

150g toasted walnuts

100g peeled celery root - grated

1 green apple, around 250g - grated 

3 hard boiled eggs cubed

300ml mayonnaise

around 360ml sour cream 20% fat

1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice

fresh parsley leaves

salt

Boil the chicken breast. Let cool, and then shred into smaller pieces. Toast the walnuts in a pan if you like. Place the walnuts in a plastic bag and run over them with a rolling pin or just chop them up. Combine all of the ingredients. Place in the fridge to cool. Add more salt and lemon juice before serving since chicken will absorb a lot of the salt. 

LETNJA VITAMINSKA ČORBA SA JOGURTOM

Nešto nalik zimskoj vitaminskoj čorbi ali sa letnjim namirnicama. Tokom leta obično u čorbe dodajem jogurt umesto pavlake za kuvanje ili kisele pavlake. Ovaj tanjir na slici je samo zarad prezentacije, mislim na šaru od jogurta, a obično u vrelu čorbu neposredno pre jela dolijem jogurt koji je rashladi, razblaži malo i da potrebnu kiselost. Iskoristite dostupne namirnice sa vaših pijaca, a koren celera ne izostavljajte, jer on daje nešto posebno čorbi, neku neobičnu mirisnu mešavinu nalik muskatnom oraščiću. Morate probati, da bi vam bilo jasno. Prijatno!

ČORBA

1 žuta okrugla tikvica - 400g

1 klasična tikvica - 600g

2 krompira - 400g

4 šargarepe - 400g

1 srednji koren celera i stabljika sa lišćem

kocka za supu

DEKORACIJA

sveži listovi bosiljka

jogurt

čačkalica

plastična kesa

PRE KONZUMACIJE

promešati dekoraciju i doliti još hladnog jogurta

Povrće iseći na krupne komade i staviti da se kuva. Kada je gotovo, ocediti i sačuvati vodu u kojoj se kuvalo. Prebaciti povrće u Multipraktik ili secka i doliti malo vode u kojoj se kuvalo pa napraviti kašu. Vratiti u šerpu, doliti još vode od kuvanja do željene gustine. Dodati kocku za supu i pustiti samo da baci ključ.

DEKORACIJA 
Sipati nekoliko kašika tečnog gušćeg jogurta u vrh plastične kese. Odseći vrh kesi, pa šarati spiralu po površini čorbe, a onda čačkalicom vući linije.

CREAM OF ZUCCHINI AND CELERY SOUP

If you are a regular follower of this blog you must know by now that I am a big fan of soups and stews. This is my summer version of a creamy soup with celery, potatoes and zucchini, using the fresh vegetables from my local green market. I love using celery roots in the soups, but abroad most people are familiar with the celery green leaves. Here it is vice-versa, we have plenty of celery roots in stores. It gives a surprisingly delicious spice flavor to the soup, like nut meg. Try it and you will see.

1 round zucchini - 400g

1 classic zucchini - 600g

2 potatoes - 400g

4 carrots - 400g

1 celery root and stalk with leaves

stock cube and salt

DECORATION

fresh basil leaves

yogurt

toothpick

plastic bag-like zip lock

Cut the veggies into larger chunks, place in a pot with water and cook until it is tender. Strain and preserve the liquid that it has been cooking in. Place the veggies in a food processor and add a bit of liquid. Puree, and transfer back into the pan, adding as much cooking liquid as you would like your soup to be. Add in the stock cube and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Before eating, add in the Greek yogurt.

To make the decoration like in the picture, do not add in the yogurt, but place couple of tablespoons of it in a corner of a small plastic bag. Cut off the tip, and make circles on the top of the soup. Use a toothpick to make lines, pulling towards the center and away.
