PGI Salmerino del Trentino with aromatic herbs

Clean the PGI Salmerino del Trentino, empty out the inside and remove entrails and fins. Wash with fresh water and dry it with a kitchen towel. Shred it and place on a kitchen towel. Clean and wash both parsley and chives with cold water. Mince the first and snip the second with a well-sharpened knife. Clean and wash the lettuce, then put all the vegetables in a mixer with extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar, a pinch of salt and pepper. Once you’ve obtained a smooth and homogeneous sauce, place it in a terrine and let it rest in the fridge for 10 minutes. In the meantime, warm the fish fillets in a pan with a bit of olive oil and sauté with light flak. Drain the PGI Salmerino del Trentino as soon as it is well cooked and season it with a bit of salt. On a serving plate pour half of the condiment you prepared, then place the fillets on top and season them with the lettuce and parsley sauce left. Serve the PGI Salmerino del Trentino with the herbs sauce when it’s still warm. If you want, you can accompany this dish with steamed vegetables.

Eel in Green Herb Sauce

Paling in’t groen or eel in green sauce is a traditional Flemish dish of international renown.The dish developed as many fisherman caught eels in the Scheldt River, with folklore stating that the dish should be prepared with whatever fresh herbs were found on the riverside e.g. parsley, mint, spinach, sorrel and watercress.To many connoisseurs, the sauce is what makes this dish unique. Consisting mainly of the popular leafy green herb chervil as well as sorrel, it is important that these ingredients are added at the last moment of cooking so that sauce retains a bright green color and the flavor is strong and fresh. The fish itself is white and meaty, with a pronounced flavor.

Finnish Karelian Pies

Karjalanpiirakat come from Karelian kitchen and they are a great gift for Finnish food tradition. Recipe of the pies were spread first from Karelia to East Finland after the wars and then to the whole country. Finnish adapted these pies quickly to their ordinary and festival cuisine. Nowadays some find it easier just to buy pies ready made from grocery store, but baking the pie oneself is almost just as easy as well. Baking may take little bit more time, but the result, it’s worth it.
