Sausage Salad

This one is from my dear Mom in law.
I never thought sausage and greens could mix in such a wonderful combination. ...and because its simple and salads are wonderfully colourful, I shall tell you the  ingredients list in pics!  :))

For 5 persons

3 any meat patties

4-5 any meat sausages

Preferably do not use different meat for the patty  and sausages




















Fry these and keep aside so that their juices do not remain but not too earlier so as to prevent them from getting soggy.

Chop the following vegetables in small pieces.

Cucumber,lettuce and tomato. The juices of cucumber and tomato can flow easily so if you do not liek your salad to be juicy,cut these earlier and collect the juice separately.

                                                           Chop Carrots

Chop onion                                                           












Lengthwise slit 2 green chilli.

Just so that no one bites on it and sees heaven!!!  :)












Mix the vegs and the rest. Chop the meats and add. Add salt and mix all.

You can add a small spoon of lemon if you want a tangier taste.











Voila!! Here it is. Sinfully healthy or healthy sinful!

Spinaching the pasta

I had Pasta Spinach a week ago at an event and though I do not remember anything else much from the horrible buffet,the taste of this particular dish did stick to me. The delicious pasta was liberally coated with olive oil and the taste of spinach leaves was simply superb.

For all those who love pasta but are annoyed by the rubbery feel of it,should make sure it is cooked with good amount of water content. This doesn't mean simply adding in water. Spinach contains enough water content which is brought out along with its flavour while cooking.

Put pasta in boiling water and cook till its edible. Drain and keep. You may keep a little water separately for cooking.

Chop and cook spinach like you would normally cook it. You can opt between just adding the leaves and the stems you can chop very finely. In olive oil,add dry red chilli flakes,chopped spring onions and ginger garlic paste.You need not even put onion and turmeric if you do not want. I tried and the taste was not very different. When the spinach is cooked well enough,add the pasta, a lump of cheese and mix well. If the pasta feels sticky,you can add a dollop of olive oil. Remember to cook for 5 minutes more and taste before you serve to check the raw taste of oil goes away.

You can opt to add sausages,by cooking and then adding the chopped pieces or simply serving it along with pasta.
