Lady Marmalade

Ooooh ...

I fear you may be getting tired of ginger and orange marmalade recipes, but I am trying to establish them as basic salad dressing ingredients. I think they should be! They deserve to!

So here's another pamphlet, and: shopping@, we need new orange marmalade, please.

Chicory, cut
Orange, filleted
Some sweet mustard pickled gurken (Senfgurken)
Boiled eggs

A finely chopped shallot
some grated fresh ginger
lots of ginger marmalade
Some lemon juice
some white balsamico
Salt, lots, to balance all that sweetness
coarse black pepper
Olive oil

Würfelsalat with Horseradish Dressing

How did we arrive at possessing 10 odd tubes of horseradish? The universe must be making a point. Here's our horseradish premiere, please let us know how you like it. It might be something for Christmas.

Cooked beetroots are needed and about the same proportion of cooked potatoes. Cut into cubes.
The carrot, well, was kind of there, but I would not insist on it.
some fresh parsley to top, some green olives.

Now here's the special dressing:

A shallot, finely chopped.
Lemon juice. not too much, just cover the onion.
Salt. We want it.
About half mayonnaise, half yoghurt, leaning towards more yoghurt.
Horseradish, grated fresh (careful) or from one of the many tubes.
Maybe a little olive oil.
Honey.

Yum.
