My mother is the fastest cook in the World.
Yep.
No one open a can as fast as her !
She's also the most inventive cook I know.
Who could imagine to cook a steak using micro wave ?
Only my mom ! Thanks God.
She is a very attentive cook.
When she find a recipe we all loved, she uses to cook it almost everyday ! This way, it took me several months before I accepted to watch Disney's cartoon "Ratatouille", thanks to the 256 765 432 ratatouilles my mother cooked and obligated us to eat, for one short and endless (on the same time) year.
And most of all, she can recreate traditional and long recipes with frozen products in a few minutes.
And they are good.
Let me introduce you my Mother's salted citrus fruits salad. The fastest salad in the world, which can be called the Speedy Gonzales Salad !
Herrrrrrrrre what you'll need, friends :
- 1 cucumber
- 700 grams of frozen oranges and pink grapefruits
- 2 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoon f olive oil
- Salt and pepper.
Of course, if you don't have frozen fruits, I suppose you can use fresh too. But don't forget my mother's mantra :"I'm not born to be a cleaning lady or a cook !".
Step 1 :
Let your fruits defrost in a large bowl. Their water will help for the juice. Then cut your cucumber in small pieces. Or large. As you want, no problem.
Step 2 :
Pour honey, oil and vinegar. To be more practical, use oil before honey. This way, honey won't stick in your spoon. Yeah baby ! So much ideas in such a small brain !
Step 3 :
Salt and pepper and leave to rest for one 30 minutes or more. It will give a kind of juicy soup, so refreshing and tasty.
Believe me, in this heat period, it's so good !
Ten times better than a steak in a micro-wave (sorry, mum).
