Icre de chia / Fish roe from chia seeds

Semintele de chia sunt un super aliment, contin mult calciu, antioxidanti, fier, fibre, Omega-3, proteine, acid folic si potasiu. Super, nu? In general le folosesc la dulciuri si budinci, insa azi am preparat cu ele o alternativa de post a icrelor: icre de chia. Pentru un mic dejun gustos si sanatos :)

Ingrediente:

• 75g seminte de chia
• 100ml apa plata
• sucul de la 1/2 lamaie
• 3 lg ulei de masline
• 1/2 ceapa rosie
• sare dupa gust

Punem intr-un bol semintele de chia, turnam apa si zeama de lamaie peste ele. Amestecam timp de 2-3 minute, pana semintele se umfla si absorb lichidul. Adaugam uleiul de masline, ceapa tocata marunt si sare dupa gust. Pofta mare! *Reteta inspirata de aici

ENGLISH VERSION

Chia seeds are a super food, they contain lots of calcium, antioxidants, iron, fiber, Omega-3, protein, folic acid and potassium. Pretty cool, right? I generally use them in sweets and puddings, but today I prepared a savory spread: fish roe from chia seeds. For a healthy and delicious breakfast :)

Ingredients:

• 75 g chia seeds
• 100 ml water
• juice  from 1/2 lemon
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 red onion
• salt to taste

Place the chia seeds in a bowl, pour the water and lemon juice over them. Mix for 2-3 min, until the seeds will absorb the fluid and expand. Add the olive oil, finely chopped onion and salt to taste. Enjoy!
