    Real food fast/real fast food (Nigel Slater's titles).  Could not get pizza delivered in the 20 minutes it took me to go from freezer to food.  And only one dish to wash. 

     

    Nice view and tempting taste,

  5. Today my proposal is how to get used to chia seeds in desserts. Though at first you might object to the dessert's consistency, it is worth persevering because it is really tasty.


    Ingredients (for 2 people)
    2 tablespoons of chia seeds
    50ml of milk
    200ml of coconut milk
    4 tablespoons of honey
    ½ teaspoon of vanilla essence
    3 plums
    half an apple
    1 tablespoon of butter
    2 tablespoons of lemon juice

  6. The idea for a fisherman's burger was created on holiday when my daughter ordered a meal with a similar name and she was very disappointed. The fish – which came in a crispy roll - was so heavily spiced that we didn't know if it was a fish or something different. You may use any kind of fresh fish to prepare a fisherman's burger: codfish, hake or pollock, but salmon would be great as well.


    Ingredients (for 4 people):
    Fish burger:
    500g of fresh fish
    1 onion
    1 clove of garlic
    4 tablespoons of minced dill
    1 small kaiser roll
    1 egg
    200ml of milk
    1 tablespoon of butter
    salt and pepper
    3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
    3 tablespoons of sesame seeds
    Dip:
    3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons of natural yoghurt
    ½ onion
    ½ apple
    6 pickled mushrooms
    ½ teaspoon of mustard
    pepper
    others
    4 fresh kaiser rolls
    lettuce
    tomato
    red onion

  7. Today I would like to show you the tart which you may prepare with almost all season fruit. In Poland I use to make it with raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, currants or goosberries. The advantage of this cake is the whole wheat flour. Thanks to it the texture is very interesting. It is one of my favourite summer cakes 

     

    Ingredients:


    dough:
    250g of whole wheat flour
    75g of caster sugar
    a pinch of salt
    150g of butter
    1 egg
    filling:
    400g of blueberries
    100g of red currants
    100g of gooseberries
    3 tablespoons of flour
    1 tablespoon of starch
    5 tablespoons of sugar

  8. The courgette is one of my favourite vegetables. When during the autumn there are beautiful, ripe and fresh ones at the market, I buy them very often. You can use them to prepare a lot of dishes, such as soups, salads and stewed courgette. Two years ago I found at the market some courgettes in an interesting round shape, and since then I have prepared stuffed courgette more often. They are ideal for this purpose, as they are fleshy and their shape lets you fill with them with a barrel of stuffing.


    So far I have filled courgettes with minced meat or buckwheat groats and tomatoes. Today I propose that you prepare some stuffing with bulgur and smoked bacon and dried tomatoes.


    Bulgur is a kind of cereal food made from rich wheat groats. It contains a lot of potassium, calcium, sodium and magnesium, all of which enable the cardiovascular system to work properly. It is a rich source of dietary fibre which reduces our bad cholesterol level. It is recommended for people who are exposed to stress and strain, because it is rich in vitamin B and magnesium – nutrients which make the nervous system work properly.

     

     

    Ingredients:

    3 round courgettes
    100g of bulgur
    200g of smoked bacon
    1 onion
    2 cloves of garlic
    4 dried tomatoes
    half a red sweet pepper
    100g of emmenthal cheese
    2 sprigs of rosemary
    1 teaspoon of powdered sweet pepper
    salt and pepper

  9. We like simple, ease to prepare and nice looking desserts. There are certain combinations which always hold good. There are dishes which save us when surprise guests drop in. Chocolate mousse with raspberries, which always turns out well, doesn't need many sophisticated ingredients and you can make it with different kinds of fruit.

     

    Ingredients (for two people):

    150g of raspberries

    1 teaspoon of caster sugar

    100g of mascarpone cheese

    100g of natural yoghurt

    75g of dark chocolate

    a few leaves of peppermint

     

    Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie and leave it to cool down slightly. Whip the mascarpone cheese and natural yoghurt to make a fluffy mass. Mix it in with the chocolate. Set aside a few of the most beautiful raspberries, and crush the rest with a fork. If they are too sour, add caster sugar and mix it in. Apply the raspberry mousse and then the chocolate mousse to a cup. Decorate the top of the dessert with the raspberries and peppermint leaves. Serve chilled.

    I really like them too.  Why do I think they look Polish or Russian?  Kind of kinky to see those big, blue eyes among the lettuce leafs.  Anxious to hear the story.  

    Loved the site with the dinosaurs.  Heck, I'm loving everything about  your trip as usual.  

    beeing Polish I would say that they may be rather Russian:)  - I connote them rather with matryoshka dolls
