I’m still in Europe, but I made this soup last week in Miami and I didn’t have time to post it back then. Well, here it is now – a beautiful and very simple Mediterranean bean soup. These beans have to be soaked, so you have to make up your mind a day in advance. The actual cooking procedure is very easy.
I saw this idea with the crispy Prosciutto somewhere recently, but I can’t remember where. It could have been a cookbook, a food magazine or a blog (I read plenty of all of the above). Whoever came up with this fabulous idea – please forgive me for not mentioning you here.

I’m currently on a quick trip through Europe and I’m eating out 95% of the time. However, there are a few things I’d like to share.

My friend George made this for me at his house, along with a fabulous almond cake (will follow…). While we were sitting in his warm dining room, the outdoor temperature was about 25 Fº, and we could see the snowflakes hitting the windows.

Making “graved lax” is a on old tradition you will find all over Scandinavia. Salmon is cured with salt, sugar, cracked peppercorns, cracked juniper berries and fresh dill. After refrigerating for at least 2 days the salmon is sliced very thin and traditionally served with a special mustard-dill sauce.
For our breakfast we went the easy way and got graved lax at the supermarket, where you can find it in convenient 4 oz packages.

Saturday. The weather is beautiful, the phone is quiet, perfect time for a nice little lunch in the shade. I like pureed soups very much. They are easy to make and are usually best when kept simple, without a lot of ingredients.
With small modifications, you can use this recipe for broccoli, carrots and many other vegetables. This particular cauliflower soup gets a wonderful, nutty note from the roasted garlic and the sunflower seeds.
