Kalyn created this great event and
Haalo who now managing it all :)
the other evening I found myself aaaaall alone!
that is very unusual, usually we are between 6-8 at dinner
lunch is quicker with less people.
some are working,
some is not coming back from school
some is trekking :))
I was thinking:
so now what do I do?
eat a sandwich nera the kitchen sink?
heat up some leftovers?
eat some cereals and milk?
tea and cookies?
no no no no : )
why not spoil myself a little?
so I did.
with the table set just for one (looks a little miserable I admit)
putted in the middle of the terrace in front of the lake.
1 glass of Bardolino Chiaretto (rosè wine)
and
asparagus salad with ginger dressing!
you need:
3 white asparagus
2 small boild potatoes
1/4 of an apple
1/4 of a radicchio (or other salad)
a piece of fresh ginger
for the dressing:
extravergin olive oil
juice and zests of a lemon
a piece of fresh ginger
2-3 tsp of the aspargus boild water
some fresh chives if you like
a lots of new grated pepper!
prepare the dressing:
grate the peeled ginger and mix with olive oil,lemon juice and lemon zests.
adjust the taste by adding ginger or/and lemonjuice.
the water gives it a lesser acid taste and makes it more fluid.
add the pepper and the chives
let marinate in the fridge (even better made the day before)
peel and clean the asparagus
cover with water, add the peeled ginger and let
softly cook for 5-6 min (they should remain crunchy,
the cooking time depends
on their thickness)
let cool in the water.
cut the radiccchio and put in a plate
add the peeled and cubed potatoes
add the apple (with skin) cut in very tiny slices
add the asparagus cut in slices
season with the dressing.
enjoy! :))
