It’s snowing today and I am making the most winter food – Olivier salad.
There are many ways to make it so I hope you enjoy my version of it. I make it vegetarian and mayo free, can’t do mayo any more. In a traditional recipe, cold meat is used instead of mushrooms. You can make it your way. This will be good for 4 people. So here you are:
To make this salad you will need to boil eggs, potatoes and carrot.
Dice all the ingredients and add mayo, if you don’t eat mayonnaise try sour cream with lime juice and sunflower oil sprinkled with garlic salt. It tastes identical and doesn’t upset my stomach. You can use pickled mushrooms or mushrooms in water. It’s traditionally made with onion but I usually skip it. Feel free to sprinkle it with onion greens. Olivier is a must have for new year’s celebration, and although it’s way past new year’s I feel like snowy weather is perfect for making this salad. I hope you enjoy it!
Vegetarian recipes from me, quick and easy to fix.
Recently I have been experimenting with meat substitutes, gluten is my favorite so far. You can spice it any way you like, for example, if you like red sauce gluten likes it too, I mean they go together really well. I usually use medium hot salsa for that, you can also use real tomatoes and garlic if you wish.
This recipe is very easy to make, it serves 2-3 portions. You can pack it as a take-away lunch to work or school. Buckwheat is superfood, I recommend it to anyone who wants to experiment with grains and stay fit as a fiddle and strong as a bull. Buckwheat goes together well with any vegetables.
Ingredients:
1 cup of gluten cut
0.5 cup of mushrooms (optional)
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for frying
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sugar
2 tablespoons of flour
0.75 cup of water
1 teaspoon of onion powder (optional)
0.5 teaspoon of garlic salt (optional)
Buy or make gluten (seitan), cut it, place it in the frying pan for 3 minutes, add mushrooms and flour. After 2 minutes add soy sauce, sugar, spices and water. This will make a nice gravy for your protein. Wait for the gravy to thicken over the low heat for 3-5 minutes.
Serve gluten (seitan) with buckwheat and bok choy. Buckwheat should be roasted and not green. Bok choy should be green, and not roasted. I usually boil bok choy for 3 minutes with salt. If you don’t have bok choy use other green vegetable instead, it can be broccoli or green beans.
Buckwheat takes about 15 min to cook, you need one cup of buckwheat groats and one cup of water, boil it with salt. It’s ready when it’s tender and all water evaporates, feel free to add some butter at the end. Serve hot. Enjoy and let me know how it turned out!
