In cooking, there are times when completely different dishes have the same name. True, such situations rarely occur. Take, for example, Corrida salad. The recipe for its preparation has several options that are completely different from each other.
Beef with vegetables
Sometimes it is difficult to guess what prompted the author to give one or another name to his dish. In one case, the appearance of the finished product is decisive, and in the other, it’s just the name of its creator. What can be said in this regard about the bullfight salad? The recipe and method of preparing this dish does not resemble a bullfighter’s fight with a bull. Although, if you look closely, you can find common ground. To do this, find out what the bullfight salad consists of. The recipe includes the following main ingredients:
- Boiled beef;
- Tomatoes
- sweet pepper;
- cucumbers
- salt;
- canned corn;
- green pea;
- onion;
- parsley greens;
- olive oil.
Perhaps the reason was precisely the meat, which stands out against the general background of the list of vegetables. How is Corrida salad prepared? The recipe is extremely simple:
- Beef must first be boiled, and then cut into cubes no larger than 2 centimeters.
- Grind vegetables. To do this, cut the cucumbers and tomatoes into slices, onions into half rings, and pepper into quarters of rings.
- Greens can be crushed arbitrarily or torn by hand.
- Pour the prepared components into a salad bowl.
- Add salt, drizzle a little with oil and mix well.
The salad is very fresh, healthy and nutritious.
Dish from Julia Vysotskaya
There is another interesting option on how to cook a bullfight salad. The recipe with a photo in this case is needed in order to clearly imagine the end result. A different set of products is used here:
- beef fillet;
- Tomatoes
- bell pepper;
- Red beans;
- green olives;
- Chinese cabbage;
- vegetable oil;
- soy sauce.
Preparing such a dish is not difficult at all:
- First, fresh beef should be cut into thin cubes, and then lightly fry with the addition of your favorite spices.
- Gently cut lettuce, tomatoes and peppers into strips.
- Crush olives with ringlets. Fans of pronounced aromas can add a little wild garlic. Previously, it must be cut into pieces no more than 1 centimeter.
- Collect all products in one container, pour oil, drizzle with soy sauce and mix well.
Red beans in a salad look like drops of blood next to fried meat. Probably, this prompted to name the dish in the name of the famous mass spectacle.
Puff salad
How else can you make a bullfight salad? The recipe with crab sticks is considered perhaps the most popular. This is mainly due to the appearance. After all, the puff construction always attracts attention. In addition, the composition of the dish includes well-known components in the following ratio:
- packaging of crab sticks (200 grams);
- 4 tomatoes;
- 2 cloves of garlic;
- a can of canned corn;
- mayonnaise;
- 200 grams of cheese (hard or "Mozzarella");
- crackers.
Salad preparation method:
- First you need to grind the products: cut the tomatoes and chopsticks into cubes, grate the cheese using a coarse grater, and let the garlic pass through the press. After that, you can start assembling.
- For work, you need a flat plate and a pastry ring for baking biscuit. All products will need to be laid out inside it alternately, covering each layer with mayonnaise: tomatoes with garlic, crab sticks, corn, cheese, crackers.
- Carefully opening the lock, remove the ring. It turns out an even puff pyramid.
The dish looks very impressive, so many try to cook it for the holidays.
