Tempting salad
We offer you to try the spiralizer nozzle in action and cook with it a few simple, but very original dishes.
Children are supposed to eat fresh vegetables every day. However, few people voluntarily follow this postulate. Let’s make a tricky salad, which even the most capricious fastidious will not refuse. We install a spiralizer nozzle with a Lingualini blade and pass a small cucumber and carrot through it. Cut the cherry tomato into quarters. Add canned sweet corn. Decorate with bright spinach leaves and fresh radishes, sprinkle with olive oil. You can also add cubes of soft cheese and curly parsley petals here.
Vegetables turn… into pasta
If the diet forbids eating real pasta, you can always make vegetable pasta. To do this, you will need an assortment of your favorite vegetables and a spiralizer “Spaghetti” nozzle. We take half of the zucchini, you can directly with the peel, 150 g of pumpkin pulp, medium daikon root. Instead of Chinese radish, celery root is quite suitable. Vegetables are passed through the nozzle in turn, mixed in a bowl and sprinkled with lemon sauce. We tear the petals from 5-6 sprigs of parsley and, together with 2 cloves of garlic, chop as small as possible. Add garlic and herbs to the vegetables, season with soy sauce and sesame oil, mix well. If you are infinitely far from any diets, this mix can be served as an unusual side dish for any meat dishes.
Potato intricacies
Are you going to have a picnic while the weather is still warm? Surprise your friends with an original snack — crispy potato spirals.
We take 3-4 oblong potatoes of a small size, peel them, rinse them in water and dry them thoroughly. We put them in the neck with the nozzle “Pappardeli”. As a result, you will get wide thin ribbons. Mix 50 ml of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, put sweet paprika and dried thyme to taste. You can take any other dried herbs or ready-made seasoning for potatoes. Fill the potato strips with marinade, mix well and string them on wooden skewers soaked in water in advance. In this form, we send them to the grill and brown them from all sides. You can bake potato spirals in the oven at 200 °C until they are covered with a golden crust.
