Monday, Monday :)

First day of the week... usually a the most difficult one to get through but it was ok. Wheater is still torturing everyone and everything, temperatures settled around -4°C and it snowed non-stop all day long. Under these conditions, what else would you ask for apart from something really warm! And no I'm not thinking of Vodka! Soup it is! WARM, HOT soup! But before I started cooking a yummy soup (it has to be yummy!), I had the smart idea to take a bath, and the not so smart one to listen to Massive Attack while being in the water! I don't know if it's the combination of steam MA's beats but it got me stoned and light-headed (and again, no, it's not about Vodka!).

Anyway, I decided to get the Massive Attack melodies out of my head and listened to Liquid Tension Experimet's* 'Acid Rain' and 'Paradigm Shift' (two true masterpieces) and here's what my Monday dinner tasted like:


Tomato-Feta Salad

A handful of cherry tomatoes
Feta (as much as you want)
Vinaigrette:
1 tsp Estragon mustard
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp Argan oil (or olive oil)
Salt & pepper

Keep tomatoes whole or halve them, cut Feta in small cubes and season with vinaigrette. Argan oil brings a nice nutty flavor to the vinaigrette but it work well with olive oil as well.


Salmon rice noodle soup

100g Salmon filet
1 tsp fresh ginger
1 tsp dill
1 tsp chopped parsley
4 chopped chestnut mushroom
1/2 tsp garlic
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp finely chopped jalepenos
1 portion rice noodles


Cut salmon into 1cm side cubes. Pour oil in sauce pan and heat under medium heat. Add in spices, mushrooms, jalepenos and soy sauce until salmon turns white-ish.

In the mean time, boil 3/4 water, cook the noodles for 3 minutes and pour in the fish preparation. Let simmer for 1 more minutes and it's ready to be enjoyed.


I did take pictures which are still on my camera and which I'll upload tomorrow.

Don't forget to feedback! :)
