It's basically Persian turkey lumps with olives on top. Yummm.  |
Now, don't get confused here folks, but this sounds awfully like what we Brits call Russian Salad, and the Russians call "Olivier" ...
(we got it from the Russians who got it from a French chef called Olivier, I think). Anyways ...
Use leftover cooked vegetables (or dice (small) cooked carrots/potatos, cook peas/sweetcorn, spring onions (syboes), whatever you can get your hands on for the veg. Dice the turkey (or ham, or beef, or garlic sausage, you get the picture) small, mix the lot together with enough mayonnaise (or garlic mayonnaise or salad cream). It's lovely. Don't use beetroot or it'll all go very red.
Cooking is my forte as you can see
