For those who don't have a lot of time to cook, but do enjoy a self prepared meal. I created this recipe by mixing 2 recipes and omitting things that I don't really like and adding things that feature alot in my meals. Easy to clean up too. Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek |
200 ml cream (whole milk might work too) |
2 whole red onions or 1 leek, plant |
3 slices smoked salmon |
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 cup brandy (e.g. cognac, calvados, grand marnier.... or sherry) (optional) |
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste |
Directions:
1. Cut the onions in rings (or slice the leek in small rings). Cut - or rip apart with your fingers - the smoked salmon in smaller pieces. Size does not matter, I like it chunky :).
2. Heat the butter or olive oil in a saucepan and bake the onions/leek until they're golden-brown (add garlic if desired).
3. Pour cream, sambal oelek and tomato puree in the saucepan and keep stirring for 2 minutes.
4. Add the alcohol to the saucepan (optional). (I usually add on sight and use more than 1 cup, but not all people like liquor the way I do). Stir for 1/2 minute. Add salmon and stir for 1 more minute. Done!
5. Prepare pasta according to description on package. Pour sauce over pasta, decorate with fresh herbs and serve with a glass of white wine.
