I told you about chia seeds last time, they are beneficial for health and versatile, you can make anything with them, from sweet puddings to smoothies or bread. Today I show you how I make chia roe. Fish roe is, as we all know, made from the respective roe, oil, salt, onion and possibly a filling ingredient such as soaked bread or semolina. Roe has its own specific taste, some like it, some don’t, according to preferences. Chia seeds don’t really have a taste, so it has to be supplemented with spices. There are a lot of chia roe recipes, here is my version. I tried to make, in addition to the good taste, through the ingredients, a food full of vitamins, carbohydrates, most of which are fibers, vegetable proteins and “good” fats. They can be eaten on bread, sticks, slices of cucumber, pepper or other vegetables.
Ingredients:
- 20 grams of chia
- 80 grams of water
- 2 teaspoons of tahini (sesame paste)
- A teaspoon of olive oil
- One teaspoon of nutritive yeast flakes
- Half a teaspoon of turmeric
- A teaspoon each of salt and pepper
- 3-4 teaspoons of lemon juice
- A small red onion
Method of preparation
Put the seeds in water and leave for about an hour, until the whole thing resembles a thick gel. In the meantime, we mix a few more times, so that no seeds remain untouched by the water. I stir with a wooden stick, if we do this with a spoon, the seeds will stick to it and it will take all our nerves trying to get them out of there. Respect the water-to-seed ratio, even if water seems too little. We’ll still have liquid ingredients to put in and we don’t want to go with a lazy jello that spreads all over the place. We can leave them to soak even longer, don’t worry, when we have the mood and time we finish the preparation. We put them in the blender together with the rest of the ingredients, apart from the onion, we put it at the end, cut into small pieces, and mix for a few minutes, until all the ingredients shake hands. We turn them over in a casserole with a lid and eat them within a maximum of 3 days, after this period of time they change their taste and become bitter.
