Amelie is a very quaint and cosy patisserie, beautifully decorated with chic rustic furnishings. The cakes, pasteries and macarons are all home made, they are deliciously mourish and light. A must visit!

Salad
To avoid cooking on a hot day I like to put togther a hearty salad base full of fresh findings on Dolac, like tomatoes, cucumbers, spring onions, yellow peppers and parsley. Prepare enough for 2-3 days, cover and place in the fridge and serve each time with young salad. Other serving suggestions include, adding tuna, chicken breast, ham or boiled eggs. Look out for my tuna salad tomorrow!
How to check your oil is hot enough?
Wondering how to check your frying oil is hot enough? Sprinkle a very small amount of flour into the oil and if it goes golden brown then you have reached the correct temperature :)
Chicken Pate
Overview
Very versatile dish! Great as a starters to an evening meal, a light snack or fast breakfast. Dig in and enjoy!
Zoran’s Tip!*
The sour cream is the main ingredient for the consistency of the pate, too much and you create soup, so we shall stick with the same theory, ‘less is more’.
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 1 medium sized chicken fillet
- 1 tsp sour cream
- 40g butter
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1tsp mayo
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- few sprigs of parsley
Preparation
- Grill the chicken fillet in a frying pan on a medium heat until fully cooked.
- Leave to cool and then cut into cubes
- Place them in a bowl and add the sour cream*, butter, finely chopped garlic and mayo to the bowl and blend well with a hand blender, until the texture is smooth
- Season with salt and pepper to taste
- Add freshly chopped parsley
- Serve on brown french bread with cherry tomatoes and young baby salad
Try it. Taste it. Enjoy it.
