Greek salad

Very probably you already hear this name, but for all of you who don't know what is it I publish one version of it.

You need:
  • tomatoes, 4 ps
  • cucumbers, 1 ps
  • shalot (the kind of onion), half piece up to one whole piece
  • paprika (take a color one, yellow or orange, it look much better), also 1 ps
  • sheep cheese, about 250 gram
  • black olives, 10-15 ps, without pits
  • marjoram, one teaspoon,
  • olive oil, 2 tablespoons,
  • lemon juice, 1 tablespoon

As usual, wash up the vegetables. The cucumber cut lengthways for two parts, remove seeds and slice to cubes about 1 cm. Every tomato slice to 6 segments. The paprika, without seeds, have to be sliced to 2cm cubes also. The onoin cut thin. You can also add a bit lattuce, if you like it.
The sheep cheese also cut to cubes or just crumb.

In a salad dish mix tomatoes, cucumber, paprika, onion, cheese and olives. All it sprinkle with lemon juice and spread olive oil. This salad no need salted because chesse already salted.

Soup from baked vegetables

My the latest local newpaper give me this soup recipe from baked vegetables, I try it and want to share my expirience.

This soup require for 2-3 portions:

  • broth (meat or vegetable), about 3 liter
  • potatoes, 4 small tubers
  • sweet pepper (paprika), 1 piece
  • carrot, 1 piece
  • onion, 1 piece
  • tomatoes, 2 pieces
  • vegetative oil, 2-3 tablespoons
as susal, salt and ground black pepper, and few bay leafes, one teaspoon of cumin or caraway (I have caraway)

Potatoes and carrot wash out, clear and cut to cubes. Paprika cut on halves, remove seeds and cut to straws. Tomatoes to cut to segments (approximately on 8 segments from one tomato).
In a frying pan warm up vegetable oil, add caraway, fry a bit until you feel the aroma and to remove from heat after. Put to pan all vegetables except onion, mix it, add salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Add a little water that keep vegetables juicy, cover with a foil and put into pre-heated oven (up to 180ะก), approximately for 30 minutes. This time is enough for vegetables.
Take another pan and fry fine cutted onion with vegetable oil. If your broth is not warm, heat it and add your onion into.
Serve to plates vegetables and fill it with your broth.
The soup is ready. I think if you add a bit dill (as I do it) the soup will look just great.
