Pumpkin Caviar
Seasonal recipes with pumpkin are an excellent way to gather friends and family and celebrate the changing seasons. Whether you're transitioning from fall or braving the cold with recipes for the new year, this pumpkin caviar will stand out on your plate and create an elegant centerpiece.
For this recipe, you'll need:
- 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 diced white onion
- 3 cups of grated carrot
- 2 1/2 cups of pumpkin
- 3/4 cup of chopped fresh tomatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons of minced garlic
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of vinegar
- Toast for serving
- Caviar to garnish
Fry the onions in vegetable oil until they are tender and soft. Add the carrots to the onion pan and cook for about five minutes. Then, combine the pumpkin and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring periodically. Toss the tomatoes, salt and pepper into the mixture and cover the pan. Allow the mix to stew for about 20 minutes on low heat before adding the rest of the ingredients, dolloping on toast and topping with caviar.
Caviar Carbonara
A plate of pasta and caviar is one of the best cozy winter foods. The bold flavors, warm sauces and delicious aromas are the perfect way to spend chilly evenings with loved ones or by yourself. This carbonara recipe is a delightful twist on the classic dish. You can make the pasta yourself, or opt for a high-quality store-bought option. For a dish with homemade pasta, you'll need:
- 7 egg yolks
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups of flour
- 2 teaspoons plus a pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 cup of grated cheese
- Lemon zest
- Pepper
- Snipped dill
- 60 grams of caviar
You'll need a food processor for this dish. Begin by preparing the pasta by pulsing the flour and salt. In a separate container, beat olive oil, four egg yolks and one large egg together. Afterward, add the egg mixture to the flour and pulse the food processor until you create a dough. Place the dough on transfer paper and knead it until it is smooth and stiff. Allow the dough to rest in plastic wrap for one hour at room temperature.
After the dough is ready, divide it into four pieces, flatten it and use a pasta roller and cutter to create your desired noodles — spaghetti is a common carbonara choice. Once you've completed all the noodles, place them on a baking sheet and lightly dust them with flour. Allow them to sit for about half an hour at room temperature.
At this point, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente, reserving one cup of pasta water. As your pasta is cooking, you can create the carbonara sauce. Beat the remaining three egg yolks and one egg with the cheese, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Gradually add about half of the pasta water to the mixture to temper the eggs. Combine the sauce and noodles until you achieve that delicious, creamy texture. Serve your pasta with snipped dill garnish and dollops of caviar.
Leek and Parsnip Soup
An aromatic soup is one of the best ways to stay cozy and warm on those chilly winter evenings. This leek and parsnip soup with caviar is an elegant way to upgrade your mealtime. You can flaunt this caviar recipe during the holidays or cozy up at home. Gather these ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- A few pinches of salt
- 2 3/4 pounds of leeks
- 1 pound of peeled Yukon potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1 pound of peeled parsnips, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 3 cups of chicken stock
- 2 cups of water
- 2 dried bay leaves
- 1/2 cup of milk
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- Caviar to garnish
Prepare the soup by melting the butter in a large pot. Add salt and the leeks and cook for about 15 minutes until tender. Combine the potatoes, chicken stock, bay leaves, salt, parsnips and two cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes until the parsnips and potatoes are soft. Remove the bay leaves and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Puree this vegetable mixture before returning it to the pot. Stir the milk into the soup and reheat the pot over medium heat. Ensure you do not bring it to a boil. Use a separate dish to combine black pepper and sour cream. Serve the soup in bowls and top each with the sour cream mixture and caviar.
Potato Pancakes With Smoked Salmon
Potato pancakes and caviar are a delightful combination you can indulge in whenever you're craving a quick meal with a sophisticated palate. You can find excellent new food varieties to change the dish while keeping the essential fixtures in the limelight. This dish needs:
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon of chives
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of dill, chopped
- 2 medium peeled potatoes
- 1 onion
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 1/2 pound of smoked salmon in thin slices
- 2 ounces of caviar
First, combine the sour cream, dill and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add chives, salt and pepper to the mix. Keep this bowl in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve it. Then, use a food processor to shred the onion and potatoes and transfer the pieces to a towel to dry.
Grab a medium bowl to combine the onion, potatoes, egg, baking powder, salt, pepper and baking powder. Heat vegetable oil over medium heat and drop two tablespoons of the onion and potato mixture inside. Use a spoon to flatten it so each is about 3 inches round. The mixture should allow you to make about 12 pancakes in total.
Cook the pancakes until they have a golden bottom. This should take about four minutes. Then, flip them to cook for another two minutes for a golden look. After cooking, transfer each pancake to a towel to drain. Arrange the potatoes on a platter and serve them warm with the dill cream, caviar and smoked salmon.
