Spirals Bread with Fresh Basil Pesto and Cheese......Thanks Caro!



Today, I want to thanks to Caro ......

Caro is amazing to me.....she creates delicious vegetarian dishes with a mix of an Italian and Argentinean touch......I always tell her that if I go to Buenos Aires again (a city that I LOVE....but really LOVE!)....I will go to have lunch with her.....and if she does not want to invite me....not a problem....I will enter through the window of her kitchen and I will eat EVERYTHING!!!.....I will go to her backyard and collect the fresh vegetables and fruit that she has in her vegetables garden......and I will eat the fresh pies that she makes in her wooden oven......Thanks Caro!....I have learned so much from your yummy vegetarian kitchen......

 My daughter helped me to fill it

Centolla Chilena con Crema de Aguacate.....una Tapita para Deleitar!!.....


Cuando Lidia escribió que iba a estar haciendo un concurso para el aniversario de su blog, yo sabía que no sólo quería contribuir a su concurso, pero también sabía lo que quería compartir en su iniciativa ...... una tapa hecha con Centolla Chilena ...... Maravilloso! 

Esta es mi contribucion al Concurso de Aperitivos de Lidia...Gracias Lidia!!


Uno de los mariscos que más nos gusta es la Centolla Chilena. Aunque estamos muy lejos del paraíso del marisco, he tenido mucha suerte de tener siempre la despensa llena de productos Chilenos ...... erizos, machas, almejas, centolla, locos, y la lúcuma !!!.... .Tenemos muy buenos amigos que nos envían estos convites, y es muy fácil de encontrar aquí o en línea .... Gracias a nuestros amigos por los maravillosos regalos!

 Centolla con Crema de Aguacate (cantidades dependen del numero de comensales)

Centolla (ojala Chilena)
Mayonesa de aceote de oliva
Yogurt Griego
Aguacate
Chalota
Sal
Pimienta
Limon
Pan. Hice estas barras rusticas del gran blog de Eva.....Gracias Eva!!

 


Triture un aguacate. Añadir el resto de los ingredientes, pero no la centolla. Por un aguacate, yo uso una cucharada de mayonesa, una cucharadita de yogur griego, 1 / 4cucharadita de chalota (picada), limón, sal y pimienta a su gusto.

Extienda sobre las rebanadas de pan, y encima la centolla. Rociar con gotas de limón, sal y aceite de oliva. DISFRUTA!

 


Puede servirlos en vasos pequenos...DISFRUTE!!

 
 

Chilean Centolla with Aguacate Cream....a Tapita to Enjoy!!!..........


When Lidia wrote that she would be doing a contest for the anniversary of her blog, I knew not only that I wanted to contribute to her contest, but also I knew what I wanted to share for her initiative......a tapa made with Chilean Centolla (Chilean King Crab or Antartic King Crab).......Wonderful!



This is my contribution to the Concurso de Aperitivos of Lidia...Thanks Lidia!!


One of the seafood that I like the most is the Chilean Centolla. Although I am far away from the paradise of seafood, I have been very lucky to always have my pantry full of Chilean products......erizos, machas, almejas, centolla, locos, and lucuma!!!.....We have very good friends that send us these treats, and is very easy to find them here or online....Thanks to our friends for those wonderful gifts!!

Chilean Centolla with Aguacate Cream (quantities are up to you and the number of people)

Chilean Centolla
Olive oil mayonnaise
Greek yoghurt
Avocado
Shallot
Salt
Pepper
Lemon
Bread. I made barras rusticas from the great blog of Eva.....Thanks Eva!!

 


Mash one avocado. Add the rest of the ingredients, but no the centolla. For one avocado, I use 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, one teaspoon of Greek yoghurt, 1/4 teaspoon of shallot (chopped), lemon, salt, and pepper to your taste.

Spread over slices of bread, and on top place the centolla. Sprinkle with lemon drops, salt and olive oil. ENJOY!!

 


You can serve them on small glasses....ENJOY
