Salmontartare

This recipe is one of my favourites on a hot summer evening when you are seeking for something fresh and full of flavours; a real joy for your tastebuds! The ingredients go suprisingly well together, and you just can't get enough of this delicious creation.

What you will need (4 portions):

• 1 lemon
• 300 grams of salmon
• 8 grams of dill
• 3 branches of parsley
• 1 spring onion
• 2 tbsp capers
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tsp horseradish

Preparation:

1. Grate the yellow skin of the lemon and press the juice out of the fruit. Slice the salmon into small blocks. Slice the dill as well as the leaves of the parsley into tiny pieces. Cut the spring onion as well. Blend the lemon grater, the salmon, the dill, the parsley, the spring onion, the capers with one tablespoon of olive oil. Additionally you might want to add some peper or salt.
2. Blend the mayonnaise and horseradish in a bowl and flavour it with lemonjuice.
3. Make a tartare of the salmon (you could use a bowl or a cup for this). Serve the tartare with the horseradish mayonnaise. You might also want to decorate it with another branch of dill.

On my way to Uganda!

That is a little odd... Let me explain: this heading is the title of my other (Dutch) blog, on my way to Uganda. In February 2016 I am off to Uganda to work as a volunteer for development project in the pearl of Africa. This expedition is instead of my internship to an English speaking country. I chose to join this expedition because of two reasons. First of all, I am eager to give my share in the development and building of the country of Uganda, including learning about the culture, the people and the traditions. Second, I believe this expedition could really help my own development flourish. I would love to broaden my view on the world and learn about other societies and lives.

As said before, in the two weeks I will spend there I will be doing voluntery work. Think about building a stove out of clay, teaching English at a school, working on the land and playing football with the local children. For these local projects, I was asked to raise money. I have found a, in my opinion, fun way for doing so. Every so often I invite two couples (whom each bring another couple) for a fancy dinner at my house. My mom and I will make a 3 course dinner based on the season. My guest will pay for a lovely night out and good company. All the profit of such a dinner will be for the local projects in Uganda. The previous two dinners were a great success and I am looking forward to more good experiences. 

If you would like to know more about my expedition or the raising of money, do not hesitate to leave a comment! I would love to hear from you guys.

Have a lovely day! x.
