Russian Movie Night
Monday, January 16, 2012
Our friends came to our house to eat and see a movie. We had a Russian theme and we started with awesome Borscht they brought with them.
After that we watched Battleship Potemkin. I was the only one who hadn’t seen it before. It was a great movie, so I’m glad I finally saw it.
Last, but not least we ate blini with mushroom salad, Cavi-art and cubed pickles.
I tried a blintz recipe from Kasviskeittiössä blog, and it was better than the one I have used before. I doubled the recipe, and we didn’t have any leftovers. If you have more than four eaters or don’t serve a starter, I recommend doubling this recipe.
Blini
5 dl soy or oat milk
25 g yeast
4 dl buckwheat flour
2 tbsp oil
2 tsp syrup
1 tsp salt
1 dl sparkling mineral water or beer
margarine or oil for frying
Heat the milk lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in it. Whisk in buckwheat flour, oil and syrup. Cover with a towel and allow to rise 2-4 hours. Stir in salt and mineral water/beer. Melt the margarine in a pan and add some batter to make a pancake. Fry on both sides until nicely browned. Serve with Russian style fillings, such as mushrooms, chopped onion, vegan sour cream and/or pickles.
