Chix and Chorizo Gulash

Chix and Chorizo Gulash

I think EASY should be my second name… as much as I love cooking, I need things to be easy, because of my short attention span, I get distracted and/or annoyed fast if I don’t get visible results in a short amount of time. That 

The No Carbs Dinner

The No Carbs Dinner

  After my IDWTC Syndrome last week, I spent the weekend cooking quite nice stuff. Both dinners I prepared were low on carbs, and could be considered even diet. The Sechuan chicken I made the day before was light, and delicate with rich bouquet of

LOL now I read the title again and just, well… But yeah I do, my first stuffing was nice turkey rolls I made with mushrooms and and ricotta cheese, and one day I’ll make it so you can ALSO make it! :-). This time I wanted a rest from chicken and bought some nice lean pork loin cutlets. At first I had a problem with the size of the meat 0_o, sorry… It was just too damn small… ffs… but the butcher lady at Peter&Paul meat department solved it by cutting thick portions of meat and running it couple times through a meat softener machine… it was neat and it made my cutlets big and fluffy… You will need some mushrooms and butter… and as always it’s easy, just takes a little time, cos for 5 cutlets you need plenty of mushrooms – it loses volume while frying.

Ingredients:
5 pork loin cutlets
60 dag white mushrooms
2 shallots or 1 medium red onion
oil + 1 tbsp butter
salt, pepper
thyme, summer savory (cząber)

Preparations:
If you can’t ask the butcher to fluff your cutlets 😉 beat it good to make it as big as possible and not too thick. Spice it nicely with salt and pepper, thyme and savory (savory is optional – I just like it’s spicy, almost pepper like flavour). Set cutlets aside, while you deal with mushrooms. Chop it small cos you want to be able to bend it ;-). Chop shallots and toss on hot oil with butter, fry like 30s then toss mushrooms, stir thoroughly to coat ingredients with oil, fry until soft and browned. If there is too much water – drain it, you want fried mushrooms not stewed ones ;-).

Put big portion of mushroom mixture on the meat and use toothpicks or metal meat skewers to seal it. Grill your pockets until golden brown…  Served it with basmati rice spiced with a little soy sauce and butter with PARSLEY and salad of your choice.

Until next time, take care of yourself and each other 0_o

Feta Pulpetki, disaster or success?

Feta Pulpetki, disaster or success? As today is Sunday, I wanted to shine in the kitchen and make something completely new plus that was very vegetarian… I was deliberating if I should post it, but since I’m not a fancy chef I’m prone to mistakes.
