In Argentine cuisine there are light, tasty and adapted to European taste dishes, such as the amazingly tasty seafood salad - "Tierra del Fuego." This is not just honest seafood with arugula, sprinkled with balsamic and olive oil (a good, but still everyday recipe). "Tierra del Fuego" - this is squid and two types of shrimp, romano and milling salads, and most importantly - raspberry sauce, which exquisitely emphasizes the taste of greens and seafood. The salad is laid out on the side of the dish, and the top is thinly sliced salmon. Decorated with berry sauce, berries and cherry tomatoes, this salad looks like a dessert: it looks very festive. Add here one of the undisputed white wines, and then you can go to this dessert. “Siruela” is the lightest and most tender cake in which the taste of prunes is very subtly beaten. Understanding the components of the cake at the time of tasting is very difficult. Is it necessary? The main thing is that it is very tasty and festive.
Marina Levina, El Gaucho: “In this issue I would like to share a recipe for an unusually tasty and light salad called Tierra del Fuego, which was invented by Argentine chef Cebastian. Tierra del Fuego, or, as they are called around the world, Terra del Fuego, is an archipelago located in the very south of Argentina. There is a harsh climate, by the way, very similar to the Russian (cold winter and warm, sunny summer), surprisingly rich and diverse flora and fauna. Argentines say that they have the best squid fishing, the most delicious shrimps, and in summer they are full of wild berries such as blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. That is why the salad, which successfully combines seafood, vegetables and wild berries, received such a fancy name. When preparing a salad, it is important to keep proportions, be sure to follow the recipe. It is necessary to carefully select the berries - only ripe and sweet are suitable. Already ready, layered salad pour raspberry sauce. As a dessert, please your friends and loved ones with home-made “Siruel” cake. Translated from Spanish, this means "plum" or "prunes". The basis of the cake is meringue with walnuts. Cakes are soaked with custard, covered with a layer of selected prunes and glued together. The cake should stand in a cool place for at least a day. When serving, dessert is sprinkled with almond chips. This is my favorite dessert, my dulce vida! ”
