I don’t know how I ended up with a long list of vegetarian/ vegan recipes. Without bothering too much. :))))) What I tried: Moroccan couscous (with vegetables) – see the recipe here. I made Moroccan couscous before, but with chickpeas. This time the recipe is only with vegetables. A tasty disaster. 🙂 Green string beans
vegetarian
Special ep.: lentil soup with sausages
Good idea for this soup from Ina Garten. It is basically a vegan soup, but it can be improved with sausages. And grated Parmesan cheese for fans of this product. 🙂 For 3-4 servings I used half a cup of green lentils, an onion, a clove of garlic, a carrot, two stalks of celery and
Special ep.: Moroccan couscous (with vegetables)
Well, this is a variation on the Moroccan couscous, only it does not have chickpeas in it, like the recipe tried last year, but a mix of seasonal vegetables. All I can say is that it is done quite quickly and the result is disastrously delicious! 😀 What vegetables do we use? I tried to
Ep. 156 – baked mackerel with tomato salad and horseradish potatoes
Whether you are preparing for Easter or Palm Sunday, today’s recipe is perfect, super fancy and easier to make than you think. 🙂 Well, I passed it on to Chef, because I didn’t understand exactly how to cook the fish. :)))) Plus his oven is much smarter than mine. 😀 The recipe is from Gordon
Special ep.: grilled eggplants with feta, mint and balsamic vinegar
If you do not have a grill available and do not make a large quantity, use a frying pan. And open the window. 🙂 For one portion I used half an eggplant (the one that doesn’t have too many seeds), washed and cut into thin round slices. Gordon says to mix some olive oil with
Special ep. – festive couscous
Well, the trick of this main course – garnish are the spices. Usually I made couscous mixed with a little salt or vegeta. This time, however, I used, as written in the recipe, a mixture of spices, which raised the couscous to another level. 😀 To prepare the recipe, boil a large cup of water.
Special ep. – red salad
Nigella’s red salad, used as an entree, I think is one of the fastest inventions. From three ingredients, YEIII! Specifically, a can of red beans, rinsed well and drained is placed in a bowl. Separately cut a red onion, julienne or cubes, as you prefer, and mix with a little vinegar (I used balsamic vinegar)
Special ep. – fruit salad with antioxidants
Nigella fruit salad with just three ingredients. 🙂 Plus antioxidants and lots of vitamins. 😀 Guess why I chose the recipe? Because it had mangoes in it!!! I just ate the mango until I made the fruit salad, like a real disaster, lol. So I adapted. Which I recommend to you every time. Don’t cling
Ep. 134 – Rice with Chickpea and Lemon
Or how I destroyed the rice. With a pinterest-inspired vegan recipe – yeeess, I saved several on a Greek sunny day outside. :))) Well, I might be a disaster, but I can’t stand the dishes where the rice is boiled until the grain is gone. Like the traditional pilaf – is a big no-no. 🙂
Ep. 114 – bruschetta with tomatoes
This month we have a series of disastrously simple but super fancy recipes to impress your friends. 🙂 Bruschetta is an Italian appetizer with different toppings, from tomatoes with basil to vegetables, sausages or cheese. Today we have the classic version, with four ingredients and 15 minutes of preparation. 🙂 But the end result, maaamaaaamiiiiiiaaaa,
Special [Greek] ep. – kolokithokeftedes or zucchini balls with cheese
That time when you burn the veggie balls and it’s so good, that you lick your fingers! 😛 With the sea and the beach in mind, I destroyed a Greek recipe for you. It wasn’t too complicated, I replaced the feta with Romanian white cheese called telemea – because it’s still white cheese 😀 –
Special ep. [withyeastandflour] – French toast
Well, this competitive break is good for something. 😀 For example, I found out that the bread in the egg, which you know as ‘frigănele’, is actually French toast. If I stretch the egg with water, others use milk; plus the topping can be honey, or sugar, or sweet and spicy syrups. Like some kind
Ep. 96 – winter sauce with tomatoes, cheese (urdă) and spinach
Today we have a very good recipe for the weather outside. From my mother, because I’m in a fight with spinach ever since I was a kid. :))) Well, ok, I admit, I eat it raw in salad, but that’s about it. For the time being. 🙂 And where do you dream of spinach and
Ep. 93 – couscous with carrots and almonds
Well, today we have the kind of food that can be, as the case may be, the main course or side dish. 🙂 In fact, the recipe was with bulgur, only it is fine, thank you, on the store shelf. 🙂 So I found the couscous in the pantry. I put a cup with about
Ep. 86 – bean salad
The only disaster that can happen is not to find canned beans on the shelf :)) Well, a can of red beans mix with tomatoes, red onion and green parsley, finely chopped, plus some oil and lemon or lime juice. It is eaten with tortillas (because that’s all there is in the house :))). —
Special ep. – pumpkin cream soup
From Oana, we have a special recipe today. 🙂 So I don’t know what’s with the extra healthy vegan recipes (not where the idea that vegans are extra healthy comes from, but that’s another discussion…), but you say that the authors conceived them during a delirium in which the thought was on steaks and cheeses,
Ep. 79 – wholemeal pasta pudding with eggplant
Well, this is obviously an invented title. 🙂 But what would be the combination of pasta, eggplant and mozzarella called? (If you have better ideas, I look forward to them). 🙂 This recipe looks like a lasagna, only I put a limited amount of pasta (did you succeed? I did it!). So you measure 100g
Ep. 73 – breakfast burrito
Whole grain pita (accidentally found at Lidl), 2-egg omelet, pickled cucumbers. Rolled like pancakes, wrapped in foil, eaten in the car. Disastrous fast. Here you have, a breakfast on the go. :)) Can you use regular pita? Yes, but you need to warm them before, because there are not very elastic. Can other fillings be
Special ep. – yellow string beans with onion
Yellow string beans with onions. Episode 4. Carmen mother… Take a 401 pages book with recipes for grills, pies and other things that Americans eat at the barbecue. Okay, 376 if you don’t count the covers, the contents list and some nonsense. Read it once. Forget about it. Read it again. Think about. And conclude:
Ep. 69 – and even more beautiful veggie lasagna
For years, a picture of a box of German lasagna haunted me. Between the layers of pasta you could see the juicy vegetables, super artistically arranged and layers of nauseating bechamel sauce. 🙂 Luckily I became an adult and discovered that, well, the recipes exist to be changed. :)) Which is why I started making
Ep. 61 – pastas with tuna or broccoli
Many years ago I told an Italian how we eat pasta with breadcrumbs – an absolutely unimaginable thing :)) – and he gave me a recipe for pasta with tuna in exchange. Take a frying pan, throw in the contents of a can of tuna, some cloves of garlic, basil, salt, pepper, olive oil, chopped
Ep. 60 – banana pancakes with apple sauce
An option for the days when you don’t know what to eat for breakfast. 🙂 Banana pancakes are the version with a thick dough, which still flows easily. I made you dizzy, I know! :)) Well, the quantities are approximate, because I never measure the ingredients. Sorry. 🙂 A ripe banana, crushed with a fork,
Ep. 57 – baked vegetables
More vegan than this, I do not know :))) Beets: washed, peeled, cut into thick slices, placed in a tray directly or on baking paper and sprinkled with oil, plus spices (salt, pepper, thyme, etc.). Bake over medium heat. Vegetable mix: carrot, celery, parsnip, red onion, zucchini, red pepper. The same principle, oil and spices,
Ep. 53 – crouton salad
Well, let me see, do you remember what you put in it? 🙂 Yesssss. ❤ Canned tuna, canned corn, grated carrot and celery cut into thin slices or cubes. With regular dressing, lemon and oil. The surprise is the homemade croutons. 🙂 Because I wanted to buy them from the store and Chef said that
Ep. 51 – hummus
Well, I don’t know if I told you how excited I am about my blender. Until it, I used to have two options: to buy the hummus from the shop – sometimes is ok, other times not really or to use the meat grinder – a semi-horror experience. Ever since the blender, I threw all
Ep. 47 – salad with apples
What did the author of this picture mean? 😀 Well, I’ll tell you a secret, but it stays between us, okay? 😉 This time I made the salad, I ate it, after which I remembered that I didn’t write anywhere what I put in it… as a result I had to rummage through my memory
Ep. 42 – vegetable meatballs
From my mother’s successful experiments, today we have a vegetarian product. 🙂 Grate carrots, celery, parsnips, potatoes, drain them well of juice and mix them with chopped dill, salt, pepper, egg, flour, to bind the composition. Sprinkle with flour mixed with breadcrumbs and fry in an oil bath. They are eaten hot, delivered at home.
Ep. 34 – fish tacos
Everything from scratch and adapted, because well, we are on the wrong continent. 🙂 Salsa: a raw mango, more sour than lemons – the specialty of local supermarkets – combined with some canned papaya, a red pepper and some pickled jalapenos. Finely chopped, let the flavors mix. Fish: fish fillets – cod, in my case
Ep. 28 – carp brine
Weeeeeell, Claudia, don’t you tell us now that you know how to make brine? 😛 Me, only in theory, but my father knows ❤ I thought you got bored of so many cakes and it would be time to have some more proteins. :)) In this case, carp brine with the fish caught by my
Ep. 27 – Chinese from the fridge
To make it on a day when you have a complete lack of imagination. I had some green beans in the fridge and after I cooked it, I realized I need some more veggies, therefore I searched through the vegetable box and got a carrot, a parsnip, a red pepper and a green zucchini. I
Ep. 18 – 3 Salad Ideas for Hot Summer Days
My general salad recipe contains variations, combinations and arrangements from the following expression: potatoes, pasta or rice (carbs) + vegetables (veggies) + meat, fish, egg, cheese, beans, chickpeas (protein) + dressing, spices. The big advantage is that it is prepared extremely quickly, especially if you have the ingredients ready to cook. 🙂 Disaster is when
Ep. 13 – Beet Borscht
Tell us right now, did you succeed in not altering the original recipe? Weeeell…. :)))) Inspired by our neighbors (Ukrainians, Russians or Poles, as you prefer) beet borscht can be a long soup, my case, or not, in the case of Jamie Oliver. And even a cream soup made with a blender, if you start
Ep. 12 – Fish and Potatoes Salad
Chef asks me, don’t we better make a potato salad with fish? Well, what a question. :))) The recipe is inspired by Jamie Oliver and it is so good that it is worth sharing on fast forward. 😛 Some new potatoes washed well (I use a green alien as a brush) and boiled. Some fish
Ep. 11 – Tuna with Mayo
What else did you destroy this time? :)) Nothing. 😀 I just modified the recipe a bit, through the essential parts. :))) Well, I combined a canned tuna with red onion and green olives, a little mayonnaise, salt, pepper and lemon juice. I saw on the internet that celery is usually added and mayonnaise is
Ep. 7 – Stuffed Eggplant
I’ve cooked it in the past, but of course I deviated from the original recipe. 🙂 İmam bayıldı as it is called in the original language, it contains eggplant plus onion, garlic and tomatoes and a ton of olive oil (from which the imam is said to have fainted, of emotion that his wife consumed
Ep. 5 – Macedonian stew with chickpeas and eggplant
I was actually looking for cupcake ideas when I came across a book with Mediterranean recipes. On this occasion I found out that not only did the Turks take our stuffed cabbage rolls and eggplants on bread, but the Greeks also make traditional bean soup (lol), and the Spaniards make cousins soup…. uuups, meat balls.
