Some Nice Meals For The Hot Weather

Recommended Posts

Now that spring seems to have come in (a bit sudden, I must say, we still needed the heating on five days ago and now we have to leave all the windows open) I am going to give you some recipes for foods which are nice in weather like this.

 

The good thing is, you can prepare all the dishes in advance as they are eaten cold, so any cooking involved can be done beforehand and then all the ingredients are to be mixed cold.

 

The three recipes are a variety of pasta, rice and potatoes and vegetables, also fish and meat.

 

Here we go:

 

COLD TUNA PASTA

 

Ingredients:

 

700 grammes (24.5 oz) of pasta (I prefer spirelli).

2 cans of tuna.

2 eggs.

1 can of sweetcorn.

5 dessert spoons of mayonnaise.

 

Method:

 

Boil the pasta.

Boil the eggs hard.

When the eggs and pasta have gone cold, do the following:

Slice the eggs.

Drain off the tuna.

Mix the pasta, tuna and sweetcorn together.

Put in the mayonnaise and mix well.

Put in the fridge until nice and cool.

 

Delicious.

 

COLD RICE MIX

 

Ingredients:

 

400 grammes (14 oz) of white rice.

A tin of mixed vegetables.

2tins of hot dog sausages (or 10 frankfurters).

2 hard boiled eggs

5 dessert spoons of mayonnaise.

 

Method:

 

Boil the rice.

Boil the eggs.

Let the rice and eggs cool off.

Slice the hot dog sausuages into thin slices.

Slice the eggs.

Drain off the mixed vegetables.

Mix all ingredients together.

Put in the mayonnaise and mix well.

Put in the fridge until nice and cool.

 

COLD HAM, VEGETABLE AND VEGETABLE SALAD

 

Ingredients:

 

Half a lettuce.

2 eggs

1 kilo (35 ounces) of salad potatoes

4 tomatoes

400 grammes (14 ounces) of ham.

5 dessert spoons of mayonnaise.

 

Method:

 

Boil the potatoes.

Boil the eggs.

Let potatoes and eggs cool down.

Cut the lettuce into thin strips.

Dice the ham.

Slice the tomatoes.

Slice the eggs.

 

Mix all ingredients together.

Put in the mayonnaise and stir well.

Stand in the fridge to let it get nice and cool.

 

All these dishes are for 4 persons.

None of the dishes need a lot of preparation time nor a lot of work.

They are great to be eaten in hot weather, delicious and very filling.

 

They can all be eaten on their own, or, if so desired, with some (French) bread.

Well, as the temps are hitting in the 100's for the next several days, to the point to where I hate to even boil a pot of tea, I think you've gotten some really good ideas here! I especially like the ham and the tuna one. My mom used to make something simular to your tuna one with cellery and green peppers chopped up in it. (probably onions too) I use to love it when I was a kid.
