A trip to the traditional flavour: Casa Felisa's ensaladilla rusa (Russian salad)

Felisa House it's not just a restaurant, it's a emotional tribute to the flavours that connect us with the essential. Through his dishes, he pays tribute to that intimate part of us that is moved by a family recipe, that finds beauty in small details and that celebrates life with a smile. We found it at the Hotel Urso in Madrid

Among its most emblematic proposals is its Russian salada dish simple in appearancebut deeply rooted in the collective memory. Prepared with local products, seasonal and a generous dose of affectionthis recipe becomes a an invitation to enjoy with all the senses.

Felisa's version carries potatoes of the Monalisa variety, carrots, green beans, asparagus y boiled eggall carefully chopped into small cubes and mixed with a mild mayonnaise enriched with 25 year old sherry vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and an unexpected touch of wasabi powderwhich enhances the flavours without overshadowing them.

The secret, according to the kitchen team itself, lies in mix the ingredients while the potato is still warmThe mayonnaise will be better absorbed by the mayonnaise and a perfect texture will be achieved. In addition, cool green vegetables in ice water after a short cooking process allows the colour and freshness to be preserved, making the dish as beautiful as it is tasty.

This salad is not just a starter: is an experience. One that sums up the philosophy of Casa Felisa of getting back to the real thing, to what really matters. If you decide to prepare it at home, do it with time, quality products and the same love that they put into each dish. The result will transport you.
