Smoked salmon with beans, orangeskin and SPECIAL ITALIAN BALSAMIC VINEGAR




Today we’ll make a very simple dish, using a special product of MODENA, a very nice city situated near the more famous Bologna. This product is Balsamic Vinegar and it’s very tasty and useful to flavor salads, meat, fish and also Fruit ( strawberries with balsamic vinegar are simply fantastic!) .
So we’ll use it to flavor a very simple dish: smoked salmon with beans and orange skin

Ingredients (Metric and Imperial) – Party of 4


  • 400g (14oz) of boiled white beans
  • 8 pieces of smoked salmon
  • 2 oranges (grate their skin)
  • Italian Balsamic Vinegar (I recommend the one from Modena, it’s very special)
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 40g (3 tablespoons) of extra virgin olive oil


Method


  • Put in a bowl the beans with the grated orange skin, the pinch of salt and the oil: mix everything
  • Boil for 2 minutes the salmon in water (you can add some juice of the oranges you have grated)
  • Serve the beans on the plates, adding on the top the pieces of salmon and our special Balsamic Vinegar. If you want, decorate with some orange skin more.
