SMOKED SALMON TARTAR WITH AVOCADO AND CUCUMBER

SMOKED SALMON TARTAR WITH AVOCADO AND CUCUMBER
Yet another delicious recipe with smoked salmon and avocado. I love it! 

This recipe is from the Flemish TV channel; it also had fresh salmon but I did not have any at hand so I just made it with smoked salmon. I will explain as I made it. 








Ingredients  

1 thick slice of smoked salmon
2 fresh chives, chopped fine
Juice of half of a lime
Half a cucumber, peeled
Half a ripe avocado, peeled  
1 stick of fresh tarragon, chopped fine
Salt and pepper to your taste
1 chive for decoration

Method

  1. I cubed the smoked salmon and put it in a bowl
  2. After I peeled the cucumber, I cut it into 4 pieces lengthwise and cleaned the seeds. After this, I cubed the cucumber pieces.
  3. Except for the avocado, I added all the ingredients in the bowl and mixed them carefully in order not to smash them.
  4. I cubed the avocado as well and added it to the tartar mix in the bowl and mixed it gently and carefully with the rest. 
  5. The tartar mix is ready. Now it is up to you to decorate and serve it :-)

Step 2 - cucumber

Step 1 & 4 - avocado and smoked salmon in cubes

Step 4 - tartar mix with smoked salmon, avocado and cucumber

Step 5 - shaping it baby

WHEAT BERRY SALAD

(Text in English is below. Türkçe tarif için burayi tiklayin)

Actually, my mother prepares the wheat salad in a different way. But a couple of days ago, I thought a quick and filling salad would be fine on the table, so I just prepared this one. It is very simple; yet delicious. What makes it so delicious is the mixture of the pomegranate molasses with the dried tarragon. I don’t know any other dish in which those two are combined in such a salad so I will be proud with my creation  :-)

Ingredients: (serves 2)
1 glass of wheat berries, boiled
1 green pepper, chopped fine
4 – 5 cherry tomatoes, each sliced into 3 – 4
1 – 2 spoons of pomegranate molasses (depends on how sour you would like your salad to be)
Salt to your liking
A small handful of dried tarragon 

Method:
Mix all the ingredients! Isn’t it simple?
