Reading some recipes in books or on web makes them sound like chemistry experiments. not just exact measures are given in ounces vegetables are measured by inches.. haha.. yes i know for those who have never entered in kitchens till a really really bad need arose , it is important to have such instructions..
the fun part is only when u know basics and are ready to experiment with the recipe.. most my notes are nothing but a certain mention of ingredients and the method.. and since every person has a different taste preference best way is to twist it to your personal liking..
in the next few blogs i will give only such ideas which anyone can exploit..:)
salad ideas
THE ITALIAN SALAD.( COLD PASTA SALAD)
I really am not sure if this is indeed an authentic recipe.. i have over the years added substituted and changed the ingredients and the name is given by me..
you need
fresh ice-berg lettuce shredded or chopped..( any other if you have)
chopped spring onions( about a handful)
1-2 boiled potatoes finely chopped
1-2 finely chopped tomatoes
mixed bell peppers ( red, green yellow) chopped about a cup full
finely chopped coriander leaves
a cupful of pomegranate
1 large cup full pasta( boiled , drained and cooled)
mix all the salad ingredients and refrigerate for 1/2 an hour
meanwhile we make this really simple dressing

meanwhile we make this really simple dressing
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp vinegar white
- 2 garlic pods crushed or grated
- salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper
Pour over the salad and toss really well. the pomegranate adds crunch and so does lettuce
