Ensaladilla rusa
Ingredients
• 400 gr. of potatoes
• 200 gr. of carrots
• 125 gr. of canned peas
• Half a can of bell pepper
• 125 gr. of canned tuna
• Two eggs
• Salt
For the mayonnaise:
• Three egg yolks
• 200 milliliters of extra virgin olive oil from Europe.
• Half a lemon (or a tablespoon of vinegar)
• Salt
Preparation
1. Peel the potatoes and carrots, cut them into cubes and put them to cook in a saucepan covered with water and salt for about 15 minutes until soft but not falling apart. Drain everything and let cool.
2. Cook the eggs separately in water with a pinch of salt for ten minutes.
3. Pour the egg yolks, the juice of half a lemon, salt and a splash of extra virgin olive oil into the blender. We begin to beat while we continue adding the rest of the oil slowly and without stopping until we obtain a thick mayonnaise. We test and rectify it with salt if necessary.
4. Mix the potatoes and carrots with the peas. Add the peeled and chopped hard-boiled eggs, add the shredded tuna (keeping a few pieces to garnish) and cover with the mayonnaise. We mix everything well and put it in the fridge.
