Nikolai Katsemba, chef of the Ginstitute bar in Moscow, advised to stick to the classic recipe from Lucien Olivier when preparing a salad for the New Year. He told this exclusively to socialbites.ca.
The ingredients you need are fresh cucumber without skin, boiled potatoes, boiled veal tongue, boiled egg, small pickled capers and gherkins, crayfish neck, lettuce, mustard, vegetable oil, chicken egg and lemon juice.
“First, let’s make the sauce. Grind a little mustard, lemon juice and egg yolk in the hemisphere with a whisk with salt, add vegetable oil in a thin stream. Thicken the sauce. Season to taste with salt, pepper, lemon juice and mustard if necessary,” the chef began.
Then we move on to preparing the salad itself.
“Cut boiled potatoes, peeled cucumbers, pickles, boiled eggs and boiled tongue into caper-sized cubes. We mix everything with homemade mayonnaise and add salt to taste,” said Nikolai Katsemba.
To finish, place the salad on a plate and garnish with lettuce leaves and crayfish tails.
