Lg had this final gathering at his house and it's a pot luck. I had the whole idea of making a bruschetta as it was hassle-free and easy but he pushed me aside coz' Wernie wanted to make them too. Evil. lol. At least LG's mom was on my side. =P
So, I had 3 hours to plan a menu and purchase the items as well as prepare them. Since I've prepared some out-of the-menu questions for upselling, I thought it would have been a great opportunity to try them out. I came out with Greek Salad by the way. Minus the feta cheese and the olives, replaced with squid, thus the name Cina-Greek. No it's not China but plain cinapek.
I'm condemning myself. lol. Well, the ingredients are simple..
Red Cabbage, no butter no savoy but RED.
Diced Tomatoes and Cucumber
Sliced celery and yeah, slice the cabbage into strips. Not to forget the squid which I forgotten to take picture of. Basically, remove the bone (the plastic thingy in the the squid), intestines, and peel the skin and then slice it into rings. Blanch it for a minute and remove.
For the dressing, red wine vinegar, which can be replaced with plain vinegar and red wine, and olive oil. Virgin is always the best but pure olive oil ain't that bad too.
Chopped parsley leaves, exclude the stems
What we're trying to do here is extremely similar to a vinaigrette, just that we have the extra ingredients apart from vinegar and oil. Firstly, mix the red wine vinegar with the olive oil. Portion is 1-3. When you see the mixture 'sizzling', you know it's time to move on.
add some diced onions for flavour,
followed by the parsley chopped earlier
and mix it all till you get something like this. Season with a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce as well as some salt and pepper.
Finally, slice some rings of onions, throw in the squid and all the diced and sliced ingredients, mix with well and drizzle the dressing over like it's a scene from AFC. Bon Apetite!
Voila la salade a la cina-greek
