i hate winter. i really do. i hate rugging up in five layers of clothing before i go out. i hate jumping out of a hot shower into ice cold air. i hate getting into bed and flapping my arms and legs around to warm the bed up. ...
the ONLY thing i love about winter, is the yummy food that warms your tummy up. now, normally for me, this would be hearty soups and casseroles but last night, i thought i would try a warm salad. now, it doesn't bring the same sort of comfort as soup does, but it's a really nice change. i found this one in the latest donna hay mag....
warm potatoes, beetroot, watercress and ocean trout salad
ingredients
*800g chat potatoes
*400g broad beans (blanched and shelled)
* bunch baby beetroot (i just used normal beetroot, peeled them and cut them into chunks)
* bunch watercress (leave picked and washed)
*400g smoked ocean trout, flaked
dressing
*half cup of egg mayonaise
* 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
* 1 tablespoon horseradish (i left this out as i'm not a horseradish fan)
* 1 cloved garlic - diced/minced
* sea salt and cracked black pepper
*boil potatoes in salted water till tender (15mins)
* put beetroot into bowl and coat with a little olive oil
* when tender, drain and cool slightly, then press each one with back of a spoon to 'smash' them a little
*put 2 tablespoon oil into pan and put into over (220 degrees) for 5 mins
* take pan out and put potatoes and beetroot in it and return to overn for 20min or until beetroot are cooked and potatoes crispy
* in a bowl, put watercress, broad beans, flaked ocean trout
* take potatoes and beetroot out of oven and cool slightly before putting into bowl with rest of stuff
* toss gently, then plate up and drizzle dressing on top
level of difficulty: can watch tv at the same time
time: light from sydney to melbourne
end result:good but more like the back up singers than the main star
