Baked Beans / Zapečeni grah

Crunch Crunch Away, , , , Leave a comment

This is a super quick, inexpensive and easy recipe for you to whip up for a weeknight dinner, or as an extra side-dish. It works well on its own with a nice big salad, but you can definitely enhance it with a fried egg, steak or a roast chicken.

I used bacon, because that’s what I’ve had on hand, but you can definitely substitute with a sausage or skip meat altogether and go vegan.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 2 servings / 0.95 EUR per serving / 1.90 EUR for all)

1 large onion, finely diced (0.10 EUR)

½ cup finely diced bacon (0.67 EUR)

1 tsp sunflower seed oil (0.01 EUR)

3 garlic cloves, minced (0.09 EUR)

1 can beans, drained (0.67 EUR)

2/3 cup tomato paste (0.27 EUR)

1 tsp sweet Hungarian paprika (0.03 EUR)

Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.03 EUR)

Pinch of chili flakes (0.03 EUR) IMGP4627

METHOD:

Saute onion and bacon on a teaspoon of oil on high heat for about five minutes, until bacon is crispy and golden. Add in garlic and beans, stir and cook briefly. Then add in tomato paste, paprika, black pepper and chili flakes and cook for about 10 minutes, so the sauce can thicken a bit.

Preheat oven to 200°C. Carefully transfer the beans to an oven-safe dish and bake for about 30 minutes, until the crust forms on top.

Ovo je super brzo, jeftino i lagano jelo koje možete napraviti kao večeru preko tjedna, ili kao malo nabrijaniji vikend prilog. Funkcionira dobro samo za sebe sa velikom salatom, ali definitivno ga možete pojačati sa pečenim jajetom, šniclom ili pečenom piletinom.

Ja sam stavila špek jer sam to imala pri ruci, ali možete ga svakako zamijeniti sa kobasicom, ili skroz izbaciti meso za vegansku verziju.

SASTOJCI:

(Za dvije porcije / 7,07 kn po porciji / 14,15 kn za sve)

1 veliki luk, sitno nasjeckan (0,75 kn)

½ šalice špeka narezanog na kockice (5,00 kn)

1 žličica suncokretovog ulja (0,05 kn)

3 češnja češnjaka, sitno nasjeckanog (0,70 kn)

1 konzerva graha, ocijeđenog (5,00 kn)

2/3 šalice pasirane rajčice (2,00 kn)

1 žličica slatke paprike (0,25 kn)

Prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,20 kn)

Prstohvat sušenog čilija u pahuljicama (0,20 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Prodinstajte pet minuta luk i špek na žličici ulja na jakoj vatri, dok špek ne postane hruskav i zlatno-žuti. Dodajte češnjak i grah, promiješajte i kratko prokuhajte. Ubacite pasiranu rajčicu, papriku, papar i čili i kuhajte oko 10 minuta, da se umak zgusne.

Zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C. Pažljivo prebacite grah u vatrostalnu posudu i pecite oko 30 minuta, dok se ne uhvati korica.

Buckwheat Flour Apple Banana Bread (vegan, gluten free, processed sugar free, low histamine) / Kruh od banana i heljdinog brašna sa jabukama (veganski, bezglutenski, bez procesiranog šećera i niskohistaminski)

Crunch Crunch Away, , , , , , , 2 Comments

If you are on a histamine low diet, then you know all too well the scarcity of safe foods. If you want to take things further and in addition eat vegan and gluten free, well, then you can basically rotate a handful of ingredients. My boyfriend is currently on such diet. We jokingly call what he eats Gulag 1 and Gulag 2 Menus. We invented a new dish last week which he happily proclaimed to be Gulag Premium Menu. But today’s bread we named Royal Gulag Menu.

IMGP4630

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 1 small loaf / 3.02 EUR per loaf)

3 small overripe bananas (0.53 EUR)

1 cup applesauce (0.40 EUR)

4 tbsp coconut oil + more for greasing the pan (0.67 EUR)

2 tbsp ground flax seed (0.07 EUR)

2 cups whole grain buckwheat flour (1.20 EUR)

1 tsp baking powder (0.01 EUR)

Pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

1 medium sized apple (0.13 EUR)

IMGP4629

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease bread pan with coconut oil, line with parchment paper and set aside. In a bowl, mash bananas. Whisk in applesauce and coconut oil. Add in flax seed, buckwheat flour, baking powder and salt and stir until uniform. Transfer into the prepared bread ban and even out using a spatula. Core and thinly slice the apple and arrange on top of the bread dough.

IMGP4632

Bake for 30 minutes, until a skewer inserted inside comes out clean. Once done, allow to cool in a pan for 10 minutes, before transferring on a rack to cool completely. Serve with milk of choice and drizzled with more apple sauce, if desired.

IMGP4635

Ako ste na histaminskoj dijeti, onda znate dobro kako je malo sigurnih namirnica. Ako želite odvesti stvari korak dalje i uz to jesti veganski i bezglutenski, pa, onda u principu možete rotirati pregršt sastojaka. Moj dečko je trenutno na takvoj dijeti. U šali ono što jedemo zovemo Gulag 1 i Gulag 2 Meni. Prošli smo tjedan izmislili novo jelo koje je sav sretan proglasio Gulag Premijum Menijem. Ali današnji smo kruh nazvali Kraljevski Gulag Meni.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 1 malu štrucu / 22,61 kn po štruci)

3 male prezrele banane (4,00 kn)

1 šalica pirea od jabuke (3,00 kn)

4 žlice kokosovog ulja + malo za namastiti kalup (5,00 kn)

2 žlice mljevenih sjemenki lana (0,50 kn)

2 šalice integralnog heljdinog brašna (9,00 kn)

1 žličica praška za pecivo (0,10 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

1 srednja jabuka (1,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C. Namastite kalup za kruh sa kokosovim uljem, obložite papirom za pečenje i stavite na stranu. U zdjeli zgnječite banane gnječilicom za krumpir. Umiješajte pire od jabuke i kokosovo ulje. Ubacite unutra lan, heljdino brašno, prašak za pecivo i sol pa sve miješajte dok ne postane jednolično. Prebacite u kalup za pečenje i poravnajte špatulom. Očistite jabuku od sjemenki i tanko narežite pa poslažite po tijestu.

Pecite 30 minuta, dok čačkalica umetnuta u kruh ne izađe čista. Kada je kruh gotov, pustite ga da se 10 minuta hladi u kalupu, prije nego što ćete ga izvaditi i na rešetki ohladiti do kraja. Poslužite kruh sa mlijekom po izboru i po želji pokapanog sa još pirea od jabuke.

Beefy Shepherd’s Pie / Juneća pastirska pita

Crunch Crunch Away, , , Leave a comment

I know that you need to have sheep to have a real shepherd’s pie. What I’ve made would technically be cheating. Or blasphemy, depending on how seriously you take your food. Or you could simply name it a cowboy’s pie and just call it a day. IMGP4557

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 8 generous servings / 1.36 EUR per serving / 10.89 EUR for all)

For meaty part:

1 tbsp sunflower seed oil (0.01 EUR)

1 large onion, diced (0.10 EUR)

1 kilo minced beef (7.33 EUR)

3 garlic cloves, minced (0.10 EUR)

3 large carrots, diced (0.10 EUR)

1 cup frozen peas (0.53 EUR)

½ cup white wine (0.67 EUR)

1 cup beef stock (0.33 EUR)

2 tablespoons tomato concentrate (0.13 EUR)

1 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika (0.07 EUR)

Pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.03 EUR)

Handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped (0.27 EUR)

For mashed potatoes:

1 kilo potatoes (0.67 EUR)

3 tbsp butter (0.40 EUR)

½ cup milk (0.10 EUR)

Pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.03 EUR) IMGP4560

METHOD:

Saute onion with tablespoon of oil on high heat until it becomes slightly translucent. Add in minced beef and break it into small chunks with your spatula. Cook for about five minutes before adding garlic, carrots and peas. Stir everything and cook for a few minutes for vegetables to soften a bit. Pour in wine and cook until alcohol evaporates. This may take two to three minutes.

Add in stock, tomato concentrate, paprika, salt, pepper and parsley, reduce heat and allow everything to simmer for about 30 minutes, so all the tastes can combine, with a lid cracked open. You’d want to stir occasionally, so it doesn’t burn. If necessary, add a splash of water. You want the sauce to be thick and rich. IMGP4566

Meanwhile, peel and dice the potatoes and add to a pot of water. Bring to a rolling boil and cook for 20 minutes. Once done, drain potatoes and mash together with butter, milk, salt and pepper, until uniform.

Preheat oven to 200°C. Pour the cooked beef into a casserole dish and carefully scoop mashed potatoes on top. Using a spoon or a spatula, even out the potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes, until the top is crispy and slightly golden. IMGP4568

Just a small note, be sure to use a big enough casserole dish (unlike me!), as the pie will get all bubbly while cooking. Just to ensure you don’t have a whole oven to scrub, place a baking tray underneath your casserole dish to catch any drippings.

IMGP4561

Znam da bi trebali imati ovce za pastirsku pitu. Ono što sam ja napravila zapravo bi se moglo nazvati varanjem. Ili blasfemijom, ovisno o tome koliko ozbiljno shvaćate svoju hranu. Ili jednostavno možete ovo jelo nazvati kaubojskom pitom i tako riješiti probleme.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 8 izdašnih porcija / 10,19 kn po porciji / 84,52 kn za sve)

Za mesni dio:

1 žlica suncokretovog ulja (0,10 kn)

1 veliki luk, narezan na kockice (0,75 kn)

1 kg mljevene junetine (55,00 kn)

3 češnja češnjaka, sitno nasjeckana (0,75 kn)

3 velike mrkve, narezane na kockice (0,75 kn)

1 šalica smrznutog graška (4,00 kn)

½ šalice bijelog vina (5,00 kn)

1 šalica goveđeg temeljca (2,50 kn)

2 žlice koncentrata rajčice (1,00 kn)

1 žlica slatke crvene paprike (0,50 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,20 kn)

Pregršt svježeg peršina, sitno nasjeckanog (2,00 kn)

Za pire krumpir:

1 kg krumpira (5,00 kn)

3 žlice maslaca (3,00 kn)

½ šalice mlijeka (0,75 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,20 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Prodinstajte luk na žlici ulja na jakoj vatri, da postane staklast. Dodajte mljevenu junetinu, pa ju špatulom razlomite na sitne komadiće. Kuhajte oko 5 minuta, pa dodajte češnjak, mrkvu i grašak. Sve dobro promiješajte i kuhajte nekoliko minuta dok povrće mrvicu ne omekša. Prelijte bijelim vinom i kuhajte dok alkohol ne ispari. To obično traje oko 2-3 minute.

Dodajte temeljac, koncentrat rajčice, papriku, sol, papar i peršin, smanjite vatru na srednje i pustite da se krčka sa odškrinutim poklopcem oko pola sata, da se svi okusi prožmu. Povremeno promiješajte da vam ne zagori, a po potrebi dodajte i malo vode. Želite da vam umak na kraju bude gust i bogat.

U međuvremenu ogulite i narežite krumpir na kocke i stavite da se kuha u lonac vode. Kuhajte 20 minuta nakon što zakipi, a kad su krumpiri kuhani, ocijedite ih i izgnječite skupa sa maslacem, mlijekom, soli i paprom da postanu jednolični.

Zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C. Ulijte mesni dio u posudu za pečenje i pažljivo žlicom po vrhu raspodijelite pire. Poravnajte pire žlicom ili špatulom i pecite 30 minuta, dok se ne uhvati zlatna korica.

Samo mala napomena, pazite da (za razliku od mene!) upotrijebite dovoljno duboku posudu za pečenje, jer će umak bubriti i pjeniti se kako se peče. Kako bi ste se kasnije spasili od ribanja cijele pećnice, za svaki slučaj ispod posude podmetnite veliki pleh za pečenje, da ulovi sve što kapne van.

Healthy Breakfast Idea – Blueberry Overnight Oats for the Whole Week / Ideje za zdravi doručak – Zobena kaša sa borovnicama za cijeli tjedan

Crunch Crunch Away, , , , , Leave a comment

By now even the birds in the trees know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But what does that even mean? For me personally, my breakfast usually sets the pace for the whole day. If I happen to skip it, I’ll probably continue feeling rushed and stressed. If I happen to eat crap like doughnuts first thing in the morning, I’ll most likely continue to eat crap and by evening feel thoroughly miserable and bloated.

So, in order to give my day a good chance to be stellar, I like to be prepared. When everything goes according to plan, I’ll usually make a batch of portable breakfast portions on Sunday, which I can just grab with me on my way to work and dump in the microwave once I get to the office. Six thirty in the morning is definitely way too early for me to eat, so I’d rather come to the office a bit earlier and eat there.

The whole Sunday preparation for the week takes about 10 minutes tops, but in the end makes so much difference for me. The recipe bellow is more like a general guideline, so feel free to adjust it according to personal preferences and what you have at hand.

Without further ado, let’s see what you’ll need. Oh, and just a small note; there are only four portions pictured bellow as I had some other breakfast plans for one day.

 IMGP4581

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 5 servings / 0.76 EUR per serving / 3.81 EUR for all)

4 cups (1 liter) milk of choice, animal or plant based work just as good (0.80 EUR)

2 cups rolled oats (0.40 EUR)

5 tsp ground flax seed (0.07 EUR)

5 tsp honey (0.27 EUR)

½ cup raisins (0.27 EUR)

½ cup roughly chopped walnuts (0.67 EUR)

1 cup frozen blueberries (1.33 EUR)

 IMGP4583

METHOD:

Place milk on high heat and bring almost to the point of boiling. While the milk is heating up, divide oats, flax seeds, honey, raisins, walnuts and frozen blueberries between your portions. Then pour hot milk on top, seal the portions and give them a gentle shake so the ingredients can mix. Allow everything to cool down to a room temperature before storing in the fridge.

The oats will soak up majority of the milk and become soft and gooey. You can add a splash more of milk before reheating your healthy awesome breakfast, but it’s going to be fantastic just as it is too.

Sada već i vrapci na grani znaju da je doručak najvažniji obrok u danu. Ali što to zapravo znači? Za mene osobno doručak obično diktira ritam ostatka dana. Ako ga slučajno preskočim, vjerojatno ću se nastaviti osjećati užurbano i pod stresom. Ako je prva stvar koju pojedem ujutro nešto nezdravo tipa krafna, vjerojatno ću nastaviti u sebe trpati smeće i do večeri se osjećati jadno i napuhano.

Pa zato volim biti spremna, kako bi moj dan imao bolju šansu ispasti fantastičan. Kada sve ide po planu, obično u nedjelju složim turu prenosivih doručaka za cijeli tjedan, koje onda samo pokupim sa sobom ujutro kada idem na posao i u uredu ubacim u mikrovalnu. Šest i trideset ujutro je definitivno prerano za mene da išta jedem, pa zato radije dođem u ured malo ranije i jedem tamo.

Nedjeljne pripreme za cijeli tjedan oduzmu mi maksimalno 10 minuta, a u konačnici predstavljaju enormnu razliku. Recept u nastavku više je neki općeniti putokaz i slobodno ga prilagodite vlastitom ukusu i onome što imate pri ruci kod kuće.

Pa bez daljnje priče, da vidimo što će vam sve trebati. I mala napomena; na fotkama su samo četiri porcije jer sam imala neke druge planove za jedan dan.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 5 porcija / 5,70 kn po porciji / 28,50 kn za sve)

4 šalice (1 litra) mlijeka po izboru, životinjsko ili biljno funkcioniraju jednako dobro (6,00 kn)

2 šalice zobenih pahuljica (3,00 kn)

5 žličica mljevenih sjemenki lana (0,50 kn)

5 žličica meda (2,00 kn)

½ šalice grožđica (2,00 kn)

½ šalice grubo nasjeckanih oraha (5,00 kn)

1 šalica smrznutih borovnica (10,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Stavite mlijeko na jaku vatru da skoro pa zakipi. Dok se mlijeko grije, podijelite zobene pahuljice, lan, med, grožđice, orahe i smrznute borovnice između vaših porcija. Onda sve zalijte sa vrućim mlijekom dobro zatvorite porcije i protresite da se svi sastojci promiješaju. Pustite da se sve ohladi na sobnu temperaturu prije nego što ćete odložiti u frižider.

Zobene će pahuljice popiti većinu mlijeka i postati mekane i kremaste. Može dodati još mrvicu mlijeka prije nego što ćete podgrijati doručak, ali biti će izvrstan i ovakav kakav je.

Burrito Bowls / Burito zdjelice

Crunch Crunch Away, , , , , , Leave a comment

These were initially planned to be made as burrito wraps. However, my tortilla making game definitely needs a lot more practice. My tortillas came out too tiny and too thick. Maybe I could’ve wrapped a carrot stick in them. But definitely not all the sauce, cheese and veggies I’d wanted to. Hence I’ve decided to take the bowl route. And what a great journey that has been, ha!

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields at least 8 generous servings / 1,75 EUR per serving / 14.03 EUR for all)

For the meaty sauce:

1 tbsp sunflower seed oil (0.01 EUR)

1 large onion, diced (0.10 EUR)

1 kilo of mixed ground beef and pork – 50:50 (6.67 EUR)

4 garlic cloves, minced (0.13 EUR)

3 large carrots, diced (0.10 EUR)

3 bell peppers, diced (1.33 EUR)

1 can beans (0.67 EUR)

1 can diced tomatoes (0.53 EUR)

1 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (0.13 EUR)

1 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika (0.07 EUR)

1 can corn (0.80 EUR)

Handful fresh parsley, roughly chopped (0.27 EUR)

To assemble the bowls:

1 cup grated cheese (0.67 EUR)

2 cups tortilla chips or 4 tortillas, cut into triangles and lightly toasted (1.33 EUR)

1 cup lettuce, roughly chopped (0.27 EUR)

2 tomatoes, diced (0.67 EUR)

½ cup sour cream (0.27 EUR)

 IMGP4592

METHOD:

In a large pot, sauté onion on a medium heat with a tablespoon of oil until softened and slightly translucent. Add in minced meat and break it off with your spatula into small chunks. Cook the meat through for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add in minced garlic, diced carrots and peppers and stir everything thoroughly. Cook for additional 5 minutes before adding drained beans, can of tomatoes, salt, red pepper and paprika. If needed, you can add a splash of water to the pot as well. Just a small heads up, for milder bowls reduce the amount of hot pepper flakes. You can easily add more later on if needed.

 IMGP4599

Gently simmer the sauce for about half an hour, so all the tastes can develop, stirring occasionally. Lastly, when the sauce is done stir in drained corn and roughly chopped parsley. Remove pot from heat, taste and adjust seasoning.

To assemble bowls, ladle finished sauce into small bowls. Top sauce with grated cheese, and divide tortilla chips or triangles, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream between the bowls. A scoop of guacamole would also be awesome.

IMGP4595

Ovo sam jelo inicijalno planirala raditi kao burrito. Međutim, moja vještina pečenja tortilja baš i nije nešto. Tortilje su mi ispale sićušne i predebele. U najboljem sam slučaju u njih mogla zamotati komad mrkve. Nikako ne sav umak, sir i povrće koje sam planirala. Iz tog sam razloga odlučila krenuti u smjeru burito zdjelica. I kakvo je to samo čudesno putovanje na kraju ispalo!

SASTOJCI

(Za barem 8 izdašnih porcija / 13,14 kn po porciji / 105,11 za sve)

Za mesni umak:

1 žlica suncokretovog ulja (0,10 kn)

1 veliki luk, narezan na kockice (0,75 kn)

1 kg miješanog mljevenog mesa, svinjetina i junetina 50:50 (50,00 kn)

4 češnja češnjaka, sitno narezana (1,00 kn)

3 velike mrkve, narezane na kockice (0,75 kn)

3 šarene paprike, narezane na kockice (10,00 kn)

1 konzerva graha (5,00 kn)

1 konzerva sjeckane rajčice (4,00 kn)

1 žličica soli (0,01 kn)

1 žličica sušenog čilija u pahuljicama (1,00 kn)

1 žlica slatke crvene paprike (0,50 kn)

1 konzerva kukuruza (6,00 kn)

Pregršt svježeg peršina, grubo narezanog (2,00 kn)

Za složiti zdjelice:

1 šalice naribanog sira (5,00 kn)

2 šalice tortilja čipsa ili 4 tortilje, narezane na trokutiće i lagano tostirane (10,00 kn)

1 šalica zelene salate, grubo narezane (2,00 kn)

2 rajčice, narezane na kocke (5,00 kn)

½ šalice kiselog vrhnja (2,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

U velikom loncu na srednjoj vatri izdinstajte luk na žlici ulja, da malo omekša i postane staklast. Dodajte mljeveno meso, pa ga sa špatulom izmrvite na sitne komadiće. Prokuhajte meso oko 5-10 minuta uz povremeno miješanje.

Ubacite nasjeckani češnjak, mrkvu i paprike i dobro promiješajte. Kuhajte 5 minuta prije nego što ćete dodati ocijeđeni grah, konzervu rajčice, sol, čili pahuljice i crvenu papriku. Ukoliko je potrebno, podlijte sve sa malo vode. Samo mala napomena, za blaži umak prepolovite količinu čilija. Kasnije po potrebi lako možete dodati još.

Pustite da se umak nježno krčka uz povremeno miješanje oko pola sada, kako bi se svi okusi proželi. Na kraju, kada je umak već gotov, umiješajte ocijeđeni kukuruz i nasjeckani peršin. Maknite lonac s vatre, kušajte i prilagodite začine.

Amazing Six Ingredient Peanut Sauce / Fantastični umak od kikirikija iz šest sastojaka

Crunch Crunch Away, , , , Leave a comment

This sauce is as easy as it gets. And delicious! One of the ingredients is water. The other five are not smoked salt harvested from Saturn’s inner rings or dried algae indigenous to the Red Sea. Yeah, bummer, I know.

I used raw peanuts because that’s what I’ve had around. Also, I didn’t mind sitting down for an hour long shelling session. I’d definitely recommend that you avoid salted and oil roasted shelled peanuts, though and seek some healthier alternatives.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields about 2 cups of sauce / 1.07 EUR per cup / 2.15 EUR for all)

1 ½ cups shelled raw peanuts, divided (2.00 EUR)

1-2 cups water, divided (–)

1 tbsp sunflower seed oil (0.01 EUR)

1 large onion, diced (0.10 EUR)

Pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

Pinch of crushed red hot pepper flakes (0.03 EUR)

 IMGP4609

METHOD:

Add 1 cup of prepared whole peanuts to food processor with about a cup of water and pulse on high to desired consistency and smoothness. The remaining ½ cup of peanuts reserve whole for later.

In a deep pot, saute diced onion on a tablespoon of oil on medium heat until translucent. Add remaining whole peanuts and saute until they become golden-brown, adding a bit of water as necessary. For raw peanuts this might take up to 20-30 minutes. Now add prepared peanut paste, salt and pepper flakes, stir and dilute a bit with water if necessary. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it cooks, and also later as it cools down, but you can dilute it with more water at any time.

Serve the sauce as a dip, salad dressing, over roasted vegetables, roasted meat, pasta, rice or noodles. I’ve eaten it over a bowl of basic cooked rice.

 IMGP4610

Ovaj je umak jednostavan da ne može biti jednostavniji. I ukusan. Jedan od potrebnih sastojaka je voda. Ostalih pet nisu dimljena sol sa Saturnovih unutarnjih prstenova ili sušene endemske alge iz Crvenog mora. Znam, znam, šteta.

Ja sam upotrijebila sirove kikirikije jer smo to imali kod kuće i nije mi bio problem odvojiti sat vremena za seansu ljuštenja. Ipak, u svakom slučaju bi preporučila da izbjegavate slane oljuštene kikirikije pržene u ulju i potražite neku zdraviju alternativu.

SASTOJCI:

(Za oko 2 šalice umaka / 8,01 kn po šalici / 16,02 kn za sve)

1 ½ šalice oguljenih sirovih kikirikija, podijeljene (15,00 kn)

1-2 šalice vode, podijeljene (–)

1 žlica suncokretovog ulja (0,01 kn)

1 veliki luk, narezan na kockice (0,75 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

Prstohvat suhih čili papričica u listićima (0,25 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Dodajte šalicu pripremljenih kikirikija u blender sa oko šalicom vode i meljite na najvećoj brzini do željene konzistencije i gustoće. Preostalih ½ šalice kikirikija sačuvajte cijele za kasnije.

U dubokom loncu i na srednjoj vatri izdinstajte luk na žlici ulja dok ne bude staklast. Dodajte ½ šalice cijelih kikirikija i dinstajte da postanu zlatno-žuti, dodajući malo po malo vode po potrebi. Za sirove kikirikije to može potrajati i do 20-30 minuta. Onda ubacite pripremljenu pastu od kikirikija, sol i čili, promiješajte i razrijedite po potrebi sa malo vode. Pustite da se umak krčka na slaboj vatri oko 10 minuta. Umak će se zgusnuti kako se kuha, te također kasnije kada se bude hladio, ali ga u bilo kojem trenutku možete razrijediti sa još vode.

Poslužite umak za umakanje grickalica, kao dresing za salatu, preko pečenog povrća, pečenog mesa, tjestenine, riže ili nudlsa. Ja sam pojela porciju preko zdjelice obične kuhane riže.

Blueberry Banana Muffins / Mafini od banane i borovnice

Crunch Crunch Away, , , , Leave a comment

Banana bread, with all its numerous variations, is one of my favorite cakes to make. It’s simple, quick and very flexible. Whenever I have a few overripe bananas at hand and a handful of random ingredients left over from another recipe, I know just what to do.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 12 regular sized muffins / 0.26 EUR per muffin / 3.10 EUR for all)

2 large overripe bananas (0.53 EUR)

2 large eggs (0.40 EUR)

½ cup yogurt (0.20 EUR)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract (0.03 EUR)

¼ butter, melted (0.40 EUR)

2 cups plain white flour (0.15 EUR)

1/3 cup sugar (0.03 EUR)

1 tsp baking powder (0.01 EUR)

½ tsp baking soda (0.01 EUR)

Pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

1 cup frozen blueberries (1.33 EUR)

IMGP4370 METHOD:

Preheat oven to 200°C. If using tin muffin molds, lightly coat them with oil. Skip this step if using silicone muffin molds. In a medium bowl, mash bananas using a potato masher or a fork until smooth. Whisk in eggs, yogurt and vanilla. Finally whisk in melted butter until fully combined.

IMGP4372

In a larger bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pour wet ingredients over dry ones and mix with a spatula until just combined. Gently fold in frozen blueberries and divide the dough between muffin molds.

Bake muffins for 20 minutes, until tops become golden. Allow muffins to cool for five minutes in their molds, before removing.

Kruh od banane, sa svim svojim bezbrojnim varijacijama, jedan je od meni najdražih kolača za peći. Jednostavan je, brz i jako fleksibilan. Kad god imam prezrele banane pri ruci, sa još pregrštom ostataka iz nekih drugih recepata, znam što mi je činiti.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 12 mafina standardne veličine / 1,92 kn po mafinu / 23,07 kn za sve)

2 velike prezrele banane (4,00 kn)

2 jaja (3,00 kn)

½ šalice jogurta (1,50 kn)

1 žličica ekstrakta vanilije (0,20 kn)

¼ šalice maslaca, rastopljenog (3,00 kn)

2 šalice oštrog pšeničnog brašna (1,00 kn)

1/3 šalice šećera (0,25 kn)

1 žličica praška za pecivo (0,10 kn)

½ žličice sode bikarbone (0,01 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

1 šalica smrznutih borovnica (10,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C. Ako koristite plehnate kalupe za mafine, namastite ih sa malo ulja. Preskočite ovaj korak ako koristite silikonske kalupe. U srednjoj zdjeli zgnječite banane gnječilicom za krumpir ili viljuškom u glatku kašu. Umiješajte jaja, jogurt i vaniliju. Na kraju dodajte rastopljeni maslac i miješajte dok se ne sjedini.

U većoj zdjeli pomiješajte brašno, šećer, prašak za pecivo, sodu bikarbonu i sol. Prelijte mokre sastojke preko suhih, pa špatulom kratko miješajte da postane jednolično. Na kraju nježno umiješajte borovnice i podijelite smjesu među kalupima za mafine.

Pecite mafine 20 minuta, dok vrhovi ne budu zlatno-žuti. Pustite ih da se 5 minuta hlade u kalupima prije nego što ćete ih izvaditi.

I might have overdone it with the cheese a bit in here. Not that there is such a thing as too much cheese. Please. It’s like saying you’ve got too much free time.

So these might not look too presentable, but man, they are so damn delicious. And don’t be intimidated by dough making. It’s a breeze, I promise.

Small tip: these would be even better if you’d sprinkle the triangles with coarse salt. I was out so I used fine salt instead of running to the store, but some extra salty crunch would have been nice.

IMGP4467

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields about 30 triangles / 0.12 EUR per triangle / 3.63 EUR for all)

1 cup warm milk (0.20 EUR)

1 tsp dry active yeast (0.13 EUR)

1 tsp sugar (0.01 EUR)

3 – 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided (0.23 EUR)

¼ cup vegetable oil + more for the mixing bowl (0.07 EUR)

Pinch of salt (0.01 EUR)

¾ cup tomato paste (0.27 EUR)

1 tbsp dried oregano (0.07 EUR)

½ cup ham, cut into thin leaves (1.33 EUR)

½ cup shredded cheese (1.00 EUR)

1 egg yolk (0.20 EUR)

1 tbsp sesame seeds (0.03 EUR)

1 tbsp cumin seeds (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp coarse salt (0.01 EUR)

METHOD:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together warm milk with active yeast, sugar and 1 teaspoon of flour. Be careful that the milk is only warm and not too hot, as too much heat will kill the yeast. Leave it for 10 minutes until slightly frothy. If the yeast doesn’t start getting frothy, discard everything and start again with the fresh batch, as your dough won’t rise.

To the frothy yeast mixture add 3 cups of flour, oil and a good pinch of salt. Mix everything together until a shabby dough forms, turn over on a clean counter and start kneading, incorporating more flour if necessary, until the dough is soft but not sticky. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes and form into a ball.

IMGP4469

Clean up your mixing bowl, add a bit of oil to it and turn the dough ball around to cover in oil on all sides. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm and draft-free place for up to an hour, to double in size.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 200°C. Line two baking trays with parchment paper and set aside. Gently deflate the dough on a clean counter and flatten. Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface into a large sheet.

Cut the sheet in half using a dough scraper. Brush each half with tomato paste, sprinkle oregano and divide ham and cheese between the halves. Now roll each half into a long sausage. Mix the egg yolk with a tablespoon of cold water and then brush over the top of each sausage. Then sprinkle sesame, cumin and coarse salt over brushed areas.

Again use the dough scraper to cut each sausage zig-zag, so you end up with triangles. Spread the triangles on prepared baking sheets, making sure to leave enough space between them, and bake for 20-25 minute, until puffy and golden. Just be sure to switch the baking sheets halfway through baking, so all of the triangles bake evenly.

Možda sam mrvicu pretjerala sa sirom. Nije da zapravo postoji tako nešto kao previše sira. Baš. To je kao da kažete da imate previše slobodnog vremena.

Ovi trokutići možda i nisu ogledni primjerci, ali su zato jako, jako fini. I nemojte se bojati pravljenja tijesta. To je čas posla, stvarno.

Mali savjet: trokutići bi bili još bolji da su posipani sa krupnom solju. Ja sam imala samo sitne soli kod kuće, pa sam zato upotrijebila nju jer mi se nije dalo trčati do dućana. Ali malo slane hrskavoće bi bilo baš super.

SASTOJCI:

(Za oko 30 trokutića / 0,90 kn po trokutiću / 27,03 kn za sve)

1 šalica toplog mlijeka (1,50 kn)

1 žličica suhog kvasca (1,00 kn)

1 žličica šećera (0,01 kn)

3 – 3 ½ šalice pšeničnog brašna, podijeljene (1,75 kn)

¼ šalice suncokretovog ulja + mrvica za namastiti zdjelu (0,50 kn)

Prstohvat soli (0,01 kn)

¾ šalice pasirane rajčice (2,00 kn)

1 žlica sušenog origana (0,50 kn)

½ šalice šunke, narezane na tanke listiće (10,00 kn)

½ šalice ribanog sira (7,50 kn)

1 žutanjak (1,50 kn)

1 žlica sjemenki sezama (0,25 kn)

1 žlica sjemenki kima (0,50 kn)

1 žličica krupne morske soli (0,01 kn)

PRIPREMA:

U velikoj zdjeli pomiješajte toplo mlijeko sa kvascem, šećerom i žličicom brašna. Pazite da mlijeko nije prevruće jer ćete tako ubiti kvasac. Ostavite 10 minuta dok se mješavina ne počne blago pjeniti. Ako se kvasac ne počne pjeniti, bacite i počnite iz početka jer vam se tijesto neće dignuti.

Pjenastoj mješavini sa kvascem dodajte 3 šalice brašna, ulje i dobar prstohvat soli. Sve dobro promiješajte, a kad se krene formirati tijesto, istresite na čistu radnu plohu i mijesite oko 5 minuta, po potrebi dodajući još brašna. Tijesto treba biti mekano, ali ne smije biti ljepljivo. Formirajte tijesto u loptu.

Očistite posudu u kojoj ste miješali tijesto, dodajte mrvicu ulja u nju, pa ubacite loptu tijesta i okrećite da se namasti sa svih strana. Pokrijte posudu čistom krpom i ostavite tijesto da se diže na toplom mjestu bez propuha, do sat vremena da se volumen udvostruči.

Kada ste spremni za pečenje zagrijte pećnicu na 200°C. Obložite dva pleha za pečenje masnim papriom i stavite na stranu. Nježno ispuhnite tijesto. Čistu radnu plohu posipajte brašnom i razvaljajte tijesto u veliku plahtu.

Prerežite plahtu tijesta na pola. Obje polovice premažite pasiranom rajčicom, posipajte origanom i podijelite po polovicama šunku i sir. Sada svaku polovicu zarolajte u dugačku kobasicu. Pomiješajte žutanjak sa žlicom hladne vode i time premažite obje kobasice tijesta. Po premazanoj površini posipajte sezam, kim i krupnu sol.

Svaku kobasicu režite cik-cak, tako da dobijete trokutiće. Raširite trokutiće po pripremljenim plehovima, pazeći da ostavite dovoljno mjesta između njih. Pecite oko 20-25 minuta dok ne budu pufasti i zlatno-smeđi, s time da na pola pečenja zamijenite protvane kako bi se sve ravnomjerno ispeklo.

As much as I love and appreciate winter holidays, I am somewhat relieved that the shebang is over and I am slowly adjusting to my normal routine. After a month of gluttony, sloth and money spending, it’s nice to have some structure again. I’m also happy to have this vast clear slate of 2016 in front of me. So many possibilities!

Preheat oven to 220°C. Give potatoes good rinse under cold water, until cool enough to handle and peel. Using a potato masher, slightly crush the potatoes, stir in oil, salt and pepper and spread over baking tray. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden crust starts forming, giving them a good stir once or twice during baking.

Meanwhile, finely dice the onion and place on high heat with a tablespoon of vegetable oil, to cook until slightly translucent, for about 2-3 minutes. Chop sausages into coins, add to onion and saute for about 5 minutes. Add in sauerkraut, grated apple, pumpkin seed oil, paprika and water, giving everything a good stir. When things come to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer with lid cracked open for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a bit water if necessary. Taste to adjust seasoning and serve with crushed potatoes.IMGP4384

Koliko god volim zimske praznike, u neku ruku mi je olakšanje činjenica da je sve to iza nas pa se sada polako vraćam u normalnu rutinu. Nakon mjesec dana prežderavanja, ljenčarenja i trošenja novaca, lijepo je opet imati neku strukturu u životu. Također me veseli imati pred sobom ovu cijelu praznu 2016. godinu. I sve te mogućnosti!

Možda se pitate da li nam zaista treba još jedno jelo sa kiselim zelje. Apsolutno! Sada više nego ikada. Ovo jelo možete na brzinu smutiti tako da je savršeno za brzi objed usred tjedna.

Naan Bread / Indijske pogačice – Naan

Crunch Crunch Away, , Leave a comment

One of my goals for 2016 is to make more homemade bread. I’m realistic and know that fully giving up on bread is absolutely out of the question. I might as well give up on sleep or breathing. That’s what bread means to me. But I can at least make a conscious effort to eat more bread where I am completely in control of what goes in it. And really, any bread will do here. The simpler the better, as simple will keep me more motivated to bake. My will suddenly flops when faced with anything that requires triple rise, for instance.

So this Naan bread is a great step towards my goal of more bread baking. The recipe is so simple and straightforward, bread gets cooked on stovetop, and it’s so tasty that you just have to make it. And Naan is a great vessel for swiping a delicious sauce or a stew. Plus, kneading dough is a great stress relief therapy. And it can pass as a workout. IMGP4406

What you might ask yourself is if we are really at a point in life when we need more carbs? Well, absolutely! I mean, what did I just tell you about kneading dough and working out? So roll up your sleeves and push that scale somewhere far under your bed where you won’t be able to reach it. IMGP4407

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 8 Naan breads / 0.21 EUR per Naan bread / 1.69 EUR for all)

1 tsp dry active yeast (0.13 EUR)

1 tsp sugar (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp all-purpose flour (0.01 EUR)

½ cup warm water (–)

½ cup Greek yogurt (0.53 EUR)

¼ cup olive oil + more for greasing the bowl (0.60 EUR)

1 large egg (0.20 EUR)

3 cups all-purpose flour + more for sprinkling (0.20 EUR)

½ tsp salt (0.01 EUR) IMGP4416

METHOD:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together yeast, sugar, tablespoon of flour with half a cup of warm water. Be careful that the water isn’t too hot as it will kill the yeast. Leave it to rest for about 10 minutes, until yeast starts bubbling up and the surface is frothy. If yeast doesn’t bubble, discard and start again with fresh batch of yeast. Trust me, better to do it now than to have a ball of dough which stubbornly refuses to rise.

Once the yeast is frothy, whisk in yogurt, olive oil and egg until smooth. Add in three cups of flour and salt and start mixing with a wooden spoon until a shabby dough forms. Turn the dough over on a clean counter and start kneading until you have a smooth ball, for about 8-10 minutes. If necessary, you can add some more flour or water, if the dough feels too sticky or too tough. Just be sure to always add bit by bit at a time.

Clean up your mixing bowl, add a bit of oil to it, and turn the dough ball around in the bowl to cover in oil on all sides. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and place to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, up to an hour. IMGP4414

After the dough is doubled, gently deflate into a disc on a clean counter and divide into 8 pieces. Roll out each piece on a floured surface into a thin disc and place on a preheated heavy bottom skillet on medium heat. Flip the disc after a couple of minutes, once big bubbles are formed, and cook for a minute or two more on the other side.

Keep cooked Naan wrapped in a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve.

And if you need ideas what to eat Naan with, I made smashing combo using this pulled turkey and this lentil and corn stew. With addition of cheese. Because I can eat cheese with everything. IMGP4419

Jedan od mojih ciljeva u 2016. godini je peći više kruha. Trudim se biti realna jer znam da je sasvim odustati od jedenja kruha nemoguće. Mogu onda odustati i od spavanja ili disanja. Toliko mi je kruh bitan. Ali ću se barem svjesno potruditi da jedem onaj kruh za koji točno znam što je sve u njemu. I zapravo bilo kakav kruh onda dolazi u obzir. Što jednostavniji, to bolji, jer ću tako biti više motivirana. Moja volja odmah poklekne kada je suočena sa receptom u kojem se tijesto, na primjer, mora tri puta dignuti.

Ove Naan pogačice su odličan korak prema mojem cilju pečenja više kruha. Recept je jednostavan i jasan, kruh se peče na štednjaku, a toliko je ukusan da ga jednostavno morate napraviti. Naan je izvrsno sredstvo za pomazati neko fino varivo ili umak. Uz to, mijesiti kruh izvrsna je terapija protiv stresa. I čak može proći pod vježbanje.

Možda se pitate da li nam u ovom trenutku života zaista treba još ugljikohidrata? Apsolutno! Mislim, upravo sam vam objasnila sve o rađenju tijesta i vježbanju. Zato zasučite rukave i gurnite tu vagu daleko ispod kreveta gdje ju nećete nikako moći dosegnuti.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 8 Naan pogačica / 1,57 kn po pogačici / 12,53 kn za sve)

1 žličica suhog kvasca (1,00 kn)

1 žličica šećera (0,01 kn)

1 žličica oštrog brašna (0,01 kn)

½ šalice tople vode (–)

½ šalice grčkog jogurta, odnosno 1 malo pakiranje (4,00 kn)

¼ šalice maslinovog ulja + još malo za namastiti zdjelu (4,50 kn)

1 jaje (1,50 kn)

3 šalice oštrog brašna + još malo za posipanje (1,50 kn)

½ žličice soli (0,01 kn)

PRIPREMA:

U velikoj zdjeli pomiješajte kvasac, šećer, žličicu brašna i pola šalice tople vode. Pazite da voda nije prevruća jer će ubiti kvasac. Pustite da stoji desetak minuta dok se kvasac ne aktivira i površina ne postane pjenasta. Ako se ne počne pjeniti, bacite sve i ponovite sa svježom turom kvasca. Vjerujte, bolje da to napravite sada nego da završite sa kuglom tijesta koja se tvrdoglavo odbija dignuti.

Jednom kada je kvasac pjenast, umiješajte jogurt, maslinovo ulje i jaje dok ne dobijete glatku masu. Dodajte 3 šalice brašna i sol pa sa drvenom kuhačom miješajte dok se ne oformi labavo tijesto. Istresite tijesto na čistu radnu plogu pa mijesite dok ne dobijete glatku kuglu, oko 8-10 minuta. Ako je potrebno, slobodno dodajte mrvicu brašna ili vode, ako je tijesto preljepljivo ili pretvrdo. Samo pazite da uvijek dodajete malo po malo.

Očistite svoju zdjelu, dodajte mrvicu ulja, pa unutra okrećite kuglu tijesta da sa svih strana bude pokrivena uljem. Pokrijte zdjelu čistom krpom i ostavite tijesto da se diže na toplom mjestu dok se ne udvostruči u veličini, do jednog sata.

Kada se tijesto dignulo, nježno ga ispuhnite u disk na radnoj površini pa podijelite u 8 dijelova. Svaki dio razvaljajte na dobro pobrašnjenoj površini u tanki disk, pa pecite na zagrijanoj teškoj tavi na srednje jakoj temperaturi. Okrenite disk nakon nekoliko minuta kada se počnu formirati veliki mjehuri i kuhajte na drugoj strani oko minutu-dvije.

Gotove pogačice do posluživanja čuvajte zamotane u čistu kuhinjsku krpu.

Ako trebate ideje sa čime bi jeli Naan, ja sam napravila super kombinaciju sa ovom pečenom puretinom i ovim varivom od leće i kukuruza. Sa dodatkom sira, naravno. Jer sir mogu jesti baš na svemu.
