Today we will consider a dish like riet. What it is? How to cook such a dish? These issues will be considered in the article. We will also describe not one, but several ways of preparing such a dish.
Riet. What it is?
This dish is certainly one of the attractions of French cuisine. Appetizer with toast or fresh bread is served. A dish such as salmon riet, the recipe of which will be presented in the article below, is a variety of paste. But his texture is different, riet is coarser. And this is not surprising, because this dish was originally rustic food. It was made for the future. Such fish paste was kept in special pots made of clay.
Riet is prepared not only from meat, but also from fish. The last option is done on the banks of the Loire. Species such as tuna, anchovy and salmon are used to create riet.
The first fish riet
Now consider a few cooking methods. The products that are required are available to everyone, they can be found in almost every store, and the result exceeds all expectations, because the dish turns out to be very unusual, but very tasty. There are more high-calorie options, but we will start, perhaps, with a "light" diet. In the process of cooking, sour cream is used, not butter.
You can cook salmon rye using cream cheese like Philadelphia. In this recipe, fresh fish is boiled in wine. Yes, you heard right. You will cook salmon in white undiluted dry wine. If this is unusual for you, then you can cook in plain water. This will be especially appropriate if the kids will try the snack, which is contraindicated even in small amounts.
To prepare a diet you will need:
- one lemon;
- 50 ml of yogurt (natural);
- 80 ml of sour cream;
- two pinches of salt and ground white pepper;
- 500 grams of salmon fillet;
- three pinches of ground black pepper;
- two hundred grams of smoked salmon;
- four branches of fresh dill.
You also need to prepare a broth for fish. For him you will need:
- one onion;
- six branches of fresh parsley;
- three bay leaves;
- 700 ml of dry white wine.
From such a quantity of ingredients, two jars of riet of 350 grams are obtained.
Salmon Cooking
- First prepare a special broth for boiling salmon. To do this, pour the wine into the pan, then dip the bay leaf and parsley there, bring to a boil. Then cook for five minutes.
- Then you will need either fresh-frozen or fresh salmon (for example, steaks). Cut the fish into small pieces. Then dip in boiling broth, cook for ten minutes (see that the broth does not boil too much). Next, cool the fish with liquid.
- While the salmon is cooling, squeeze the juice out of half a lemon. Then chop finely dill.
- Next, chop finely smoked salmon.
- After remove the boiled salmon from the broth, chop. Then remove the skin from the fish.
- Put boiled salmon in a bowl. Next, soften thoroughly with a fork, so that something like mashed potatoes turns out.
- Then add the remaining ingredients: lemon juice, dill, sour cream, smoked salmon, salt, yogurt, dill and pepper. Then mix everything well. If necessary, you can add a little more lemon juice, pepper or salt to your taste.
- That's all, riet, the recipe for the preparation of which we are now describing, is ready. Now cover it with cling film or a lid and put in the refrigerator for four hours. Although even 60 minutes will be enough. Even standing this time in the refrigerator, salmon riet will become even more piquant and tastier. A snack with baguette and ciabatta is especially good.
