OTTOLENGHI : Silky Courgette and Salmon Salad -COMFORT pg91

Celebrating my first Ottolenghi book, which also happens to be the first non-Japanese cooking book that I would own in my life – and just with the first try, I already have the feeling I will have so much fun and discoveries!
Thank you Giorgio @whennonnocooks and Alessandra @littleitaliancucina for your letting me share my experience through the warm community of #onebookthreerecipes .
Some of the highlights:
– The courgette🥒❣️ I never imagined they would become so silky, and how the texture and flavor serve so wonderfully as a dressing.
– I did not have shallots, so replaced with red onion slice, preserved lemons, and & a bit of radish (inspired by the topping on the same book, on soba noodle page). And ah hah moment. So this is how you make colorful pickles! So so delightful, I will definitely prepare them for other occasions.

P.S. While cooking, I thought of you: @marlein_de_visscher & @pearler60 (your beautiful posts of this recipe made me decide to go for this!), @feedingbruno (my fourth batch lemon preserve), @amras_lovely_cooking : I now found new colors to add on my plate (pickled radish), @thekitchenstoic (I must try the soba soon!) , @foodmood_le (that raddish❤️), @look_how_i_cook_well (I got the buch📚!)







オットレンギ:サーモンサラダ、とろとろシルキーなズッキーニドレッシング
初めての外国の料理本。新しい味や調理法に触れ、とても楽しい発見がたくさんです。
オットレンギ(昨今の中東料理ブームを牽引される、イスラエル生まれの英国人シェフ)の新作、題名COMFORT(心地よさとか、落ち着く~みたいな)。
これまでの著書と比べ、より馴染みのあるお料理やアジアンな味付けが多く、うれしい本です。今後、定期的に作ってみたいと思います。
お料理ハイライト
・ズッキーニに大感動、こんなシルキーなペースト状になるなんて&ドレッシングになっちゃうなんて!!
→ズッキーニをグレーターでスライス。塩して、水気を切る(ぎゅー!)。オリーブオイルで15分程炒め続けると、鼻セレブを思い出すシルキーさに。塩コショウ。
・サーモンと思って解凍したらシャケ〜。。(解凍間違いやりがちです)😇なので、途中から塩味薄めに。
・ピクルス:本来はshallotという西洋玉ねぎ?だったのですが、今回は赤玉ねぎ&ラディッシュ&レモン&お酢等を漬け込みました。とってもきれい!
