Russian Recipies – Pancakes And Salads
What are you planning to cook at your next big dinner party? Why not try something diverse and challenging from another culture. International cuisine is great way to show off your cooking talents and today we are going to talk about some hot and cold Russian dishes that anyone can prepare.
Russian Blini – Hot Pancakes
The crepe might be French but other countries will argue their version tastes better. Russia is no different and they have the Blini:
Ingredients:
½ cup plain flour (sifted)
2 eggs
2 ½ cups of milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 teaspoon of baking soda (optional if you want a lighter mixture)
What To Do:
Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk with the sugar and salt. Add the flower to the mixture and then slowly stir in the milk to avoid lumps. Mix well or blend in a food processor. Your batter should be fairly runny at this stage.
If you are using baking soda in your recipe, add it now to make the mixutre more light (i.e. it adds air to the batter). For the best result, cover your mixing bowl and leave your batter in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest. If the mixture is too thick, add water/milk. If your batter is runny, add a small amount of flour. What you want is a pancake batter that pours like fresh cream.
Start cooking the pancakes by warming a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Coat the pan with a light cooking oil or butter (though butter does give a better tasting pancake, it just depends on how fattening you want them to be). Pour about 2 tablespoons of the batter (or more if you want) onto the pan and spread the batter out evenly. Make it as thin as you can for traditional Blini. When bubbles appear in the center or it starts to look dry, flip it over to cook the other side.
Move the cook Blini to a plate and butter one side and stack them. Eat them as they are or as a real treat, put jam into the centre and fold them in half. Fold them a second time to make a neat triangle. They are best enjoyed as an afternoon treat on a cold winter’s day with a nice cup of tea. The tea should be black, no sugar and served with lemon. You can sweeten the tea with honey, but there will be plenty of sweetness in the blini.
Russian Salads
If you are use to salads of tossed lettuce, fresh vine ripened tomatoes and a light vinaigrette, then you are in for a bit of a shock with Russian salads. Russia is a cold country, so hardy root vegetables tend to feature on the dinner table that delicate spring salads.
This gives us a traditional Russian salad – a salad with some bite. A typical salad is the Dressed Herring Under Fur Salad.
To make this salad you will need:
2 salted herring
5 potatoes
4 carrots
4 beets
5 eggs
1 lb mayonnaise
Bring a large pot of unsalted to the boil and add the vegetables. Boil until soft, drain and set aside.
Skin the herring and remove any bones. Dice the fish into small cubes about half an inch wide. Take your serving platter and layer the herring on the bottom. Cover with a thin layer of mayonnaise.
Take the pototoes and mash them. Do no add butter or milk to the mash. Spread the potato as the next layer and cover with a thin layer of moyonaise. Repeat the process for the beets and 3 of the eggs. Finish the with slices of the 2 remaining eggs. Cover the bowl and put in the fridge for an hour before serving.
