Let's get cooking!
This salad was very popular 10-15 years ago and still is in Lithuanian parties. My dear friend Rasele taught me maybe 20 years ago how to make it and Today I would like to share it with you. It requires just a few ingredients, quick chopping, mix and that’s it.
Quick, romantic brunch in 15-20 min! How cool is that!? High-fat foods help produce sex hormones, caviar is one of them and known as an aphrodisiac.
If you are not familiar with U12 shrimp, it’s a size of shrimp, meaning that in 1 pound will be under 12 shrimps. It’s very large and juicy shrimp. What’s the biggest shrimp size? Extra colossal shrimp is the largest size available in seafood markets with counts as large as 5 shrimp per pound. However, there are Asian tiger shrimp that weigh 7-11 ounces each with a count of just 1-2 per pound. I have made with smaller (size 16-20) shrimp, works just perfect.
Colorful, full of flavor and texture salad. Can be served hot, room temperature or cold. Either way it’s delicious! I served it as a side dish with a pan seared cod, but if you would like, you can make it vegetarian dinner. Quinoa and all the vegetables make a full nutritious meal.
Beautiful, delicious, easy and quick dinner recipe.
After you try this recipe, deviled eggs will never be the same. It’s very easy recipe and requires a minimum equipment. You only need a regular (any kind will do ) grill and a smoking tube with wood pellets. I have a full detailed description of how to use a smoking tube.
If you like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, this is absolutely for you! Since I shared my “Sweet Zivile” Habanero Pepper Jelly with our friend Michael to try, he was putting it literally on anything, grilled chicken etc., even on ice cream! I know, sounds crazy, I didn’t try this variation yet, but I will. I tried the sandwich and I can say it’s really interesting! I love it! Here is the recipe of Michael’s version of peanut butter sandwich:
This soup is very popular in Easter Europe. Every country adjust it by it’s own taste. I grew up in Žemaitija (Samogitija, the region in Lithuania, close to Latvia border), so my Cold Summer Soup is influenced by Latvia. It is very refreshing dish, light and super easy to make. Let me share with you my version of Šaltibarščiai.
When we travel, I always like to grab some homemade food, place in a cooler and have it rather than stop for a pathetic burger on the road. It takes only 20-30 min to prepare and you can make filling a day before and just fill up puff pastry pockets and shovel in the oven and you are done! These turnovers are great for any day snack, travel, park, school or work lunch or casual parties. Let’s get started!
Super quick, delectable, elegant looking appetizer. No leftovers – guarantee! Let me share with you how I make it.
