Last day of March

Pancakes in wine chateau

While in Tara, most of the days we had lunch or dinner at restaurant Javor. They serve traditional Serbian food, which I love and miss so. I cook Serbian food a lot but since the quality of the ingredients is not the same, mostly because there is not enough sunshine in Sweden, it rarely ends up tasting like it should. Now, about what I actually wanted to talk about-these pankaces. OMG!!! They were the best pancakes in wine chateau I have ever tried. With a big smile on my face I did thank the chef for the experience. :D They were perfect-sweet but just enough, plenty of walnuts, a slight hint of alcohol and covered in that beautiful light yellow foam. I have to try and recreate them!

Views like these

Those couple of days we have spent on Tara mountain were magical. Most of the time we were driving literally through the woods. Above us the treetops were so dense, instead of blue skies there were all the shades of orange, red, yellow and green, overlapping each other. For kilometres at the time there was no sign of civilisation. And then there were views like these.

Chia, clementine and lemon drink

My newest obsession. And it’s a healthy one! Can you believe it?! Me-barely. :D I don’t know what it is but I just love the consistency of chia seeds in my mouth. Yummy!

Ingredients for 1

15gr or 1,5tbsp chia seeds

2-3dl water

1 Lemon

3-4 Clementines

1tbsp honey, optional

Process

Place chia seeds in a bowl and add water just enough to cover them. Using a spoon, mix until all the water is absorbed and consistency is gelatine like. Repeat the process two more times. Leave on a side for around 30 minutes so that consistency becomes even more gelatinous.

Wash and cut the fruit in halves, then squeeze the juice out of it.

In a tall, 500ml glass, add the chia seeds, fruit juice and honey, mix well.

Enjoy!
