This is actually a translated recipe from a Dutch cookbook for those who are interested to try The Netherlands' food before visiting Amsterdam or other city in Nederland. The book section in which this recipe is present is called "Pregnant Girls"Smoked Mackerel Salad! That's because this is a fish-containing recipe, and fish oil is rich in omega fatty acids which are always good for everybody especially pregnant women. It's good for momy and baby's brains in the same time!This salad is a great dish on its own, crunchy, creamy, sweet, tangy, bitter and salty!
You'll need:
* 1 smoked mackerel (fresh please!).
* 4 tomatoes.
* 2 Belgian endives.
* 1 avocado.
* 4/5 cup olive oil (200 ml).
* Juice of 1 lemon.
* Salt & pepper.
That's for the main backbone of the dish. As for the dressing:
* 1/2 clove garlic (crushed).
* 4 tbsp (good) mayonnaise.
* 1 tsp mustard.
* 2 tbsp capers.
First you have to remove everything from the fish except the 'meat' part. The head, tail, skin and bones of the smoked mackerel can be given to your cat! Cut the flesh into small pieces and remove any smaller bones if you encounter them.Now with the vegetables, cut the tomatoes into small wedges.
Turning into the Belgian endives, remove the outside leaves, halve the heads, the hard core and cut diagonally into strips. Finally, peel the avocado and cut it into 2 halves, remove the pip and slice them thinly.
Now mix them all up. Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper to boom the taste!
In a small bowl, mix the crushed garlic with the other dressing ingredients. That's it!
But a little tip on serving, serve the sauce separately in case someone likes it crude!
