The weather was cold, rainy and gloomy when I made this stew and it was such an awesome comfort food that it made me feel super cozy and satisfied. Coincidentally, my parents gave me some dried porcini mushrooms and they were an awesome addition to this dish. Really, this made for a splendid and cozy feast, full of color and delicious flavor. It also reheated great and was awesome for meal prep.

Turkey Pašticada / Pureća pašticada

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

Pašticada is a famous Dalmatian dish which is typically made with beef. Traditionally, the meat is pierced and stuffed with veggies and pancetta, then marinated in a mixture of spices, red wine and vinegar, and finally slowly simmered in a sauce of mixed root veggies, aromatics, prunes and prosecco. Of course, me being me, I decided to simplify things a lot and skip certain steps. However, the final flavor of the dish with a mixture of sweet, savory, spicy and acid was excellent, so I highly recommend that you give this dish a chance, even in such a simplified form.

While this recipe is pretty time consuming and requires a bit of planning ahead, it produces a ton of food. The leftovers are even better when reheated and all the extras can also be frozen for future times.

IMGP9239

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 12 generous servings / 1.44 EUR per serving / 17.30 EUR for all)

For the meat and marinade:

2 whole boneless and skinless turkey breast fillets, about 1,5 kilos in total (10.00 EUR)

1 cup red wine (1.33 EUR)

1 cup red wine vinegar (0.27 EUR)

1 cup water (–)

2 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp garlic powder (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.07 EUR)

½ tsp red pepper flakes (0.03 EUR)

2 bay leaves (0.05 EUR)

For the sauce:

4 tbsp pork lard (0.05 EUR)

4 onions (0.40 EUR)

4 carrots (0.40 EUR)

½ small celeriac root (0.60 EUR)

½ cup finely diced pancetta (1.00 EUR)

6 garlic cloves (0.20 EUR)

Bunch on fresh parsley (0.13 EUR)

10 prunes (0.40 EUR)

4 tbsp sugar (0.03 EUR)

1 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.07 EUR)

½ tsp red pepper flakes (0.03 EUR)

½ tsp ground nutmeg (0.03 EUR)

1 tsp dried rosemary leaves (0.07 EUR)

2 bay leaves (0.05 EUR)

1 cup tomato puree (0.27 EUR)

1 cup red wine (1.33 EUR)

3-4 cups veggie broth (0.27 EUR)

IMGP9237

IMGP9235

METHOD:

Prepare the meat 24-48 hours in advance. In a deep pot (which you will later use for cooking), mix together red wine, red wine vinegar, water, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes and bay leaves until the salt is fully dissolved. Place the meat into the pot, making sure everything is fully submerged. Refrigerate the meat in the marinade for 24-48 hours (the longer, the better), making sure to turn the meat pieces over a few times throughout the process.

After the meat has sat in its marinade, discard all the liquids, rinse the pot and pat the meat dry. Add lard to your pot, place it on medium-high heat and sear the meat on all sides for a few minutes. Remove the seared meat from the pot and set aside. Meanwhile, wash, peel and finely dice all your veggies. You can totally chop everything up in a food processor to make life easier.

Once you’ve removed the seared meat from pot, add to the pot your chopped onions, carrots and celeriac. Cook the veggies for about 15-20 minutes to slightly caramelize. Once all of the excess water has evaporated, add in diced pancetta, stir and cook for about 5-10 minutes to crisp up slightly. Finally, add in chopped garlic and parsley stalks (reserve the leaves for later), stir and cook for a minute until fragrant. Add in prunes, sugar, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, nutmeg, rosemary, bay leaves, tomato paste, tomato puree and wine. Bring to a boil, then cook for a few minutes until all of the alcohol has evaporated. Then return the meat to the pot and add in enough broth until the meat is fully submerged. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer with a lid cracked open for about 3 hours.

While the meat is simmering, be sure to check on it every now and then, stirring as best you can and adding in a bit of liquid if needed. After three hours, turn off heat and carefully remove the meat from the sauce. Fish out and discard the bay leaves, then pulse the sauce until smooth with an immersion blender. If needed, add in more broth or water to thin the sauce out. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning. Slice the meat up (mine was so soft that it was falling apart), then return it to the sauce. Stir in the reserved parsley leaves.

Serve warm over a carb of your choice. Our favorites are gnocchi or cooked polenta.

Iako se pašticada tradicionalno radi sa junetinom koja se našpika povrćem i pancetom, ja ne bi bila ja da nisam odlučila stvari malo promijeniti i pojednostaviti. Konačno je rezultat svejedno ispao odličan i jako sam zadovoljna sa finalnim balansom slatkog, slanog, pikantnog i kiselog. Stoga vam definitivno preporučam da isprobate ovo jelo, čak i u ovako pojednostavljenoj verziji.

Iako će vam za pripremu i ove moje pašticade trebati dosta vremena i malo planiranja, na kraju ćete dobiti tonu hrane. Meni je sve bilo još puno ukusnije kada se podgrijalo, a dio sam čak i zamrznula i bilo je super kasnije.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 12 izdašnih porcija / 10,85 kn po porciji / 130,18 kn za sve)

Za meso i marinadu:

2 cijela komada purećih prsa bez kostiju i kuže, sve zajedno oko 1,5 kg (75,00 kn)

1 šalica crnog vina (10,00 kn)

1 šalica crvenog vinskog octa (2,50 kn)

1 šalica vode (–)

2 žličice soli (0,02 kn)

1 žličica češnjaka u prahu (0,50 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

½ žličice sušenog čilija u pahuljicama (0,25 kn)

2 lovorova lista (0,40 kn)

Za umak:

4 žlice svinjske masti (0,40 kn)

4 luka (3,00 kn)

4 mrkve (3,00 kn)

½ manjeg celera (4,50 kn)

½ šalice fino nasjeckane pancete (7,50 kn)

6 češnjeva češnjaka (1,50 kn)

Pregršt svježeg peršina (1,00 kn)

10 suhih šljiva (3,00 kn)

4 žlice šećera (0,20 kn)

1 žličica soli (0,01 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

½ žličice sušenog čilija u pahuljicama (0,25 kn)

½ žličice muškatnog oraščića (0,25 kn)

1 žličica sušenih listića ružmarina (0,50 kn)

2 lovorova lista (0,40 kn)

2 žlice koncentrata od rajčice (1,00 kn)

1 šalica pasirane rajčice (2,00 kn)

1 šalica crnog vina (10,00 kn)

3-4 šalice povrtnog temeljca (2,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Meso pripremite 24-48 sati unaprijed. U dubokom loncu (u kojem ćete poslije sve i kuhati) pomiješajte vino, ocat, vodu, sol, češnjak u prahu, papar, čili i lovor, tako da se sol skroz rastopi. Komade mesa stavite u lonac, s time da vodite računa o tome da sve bude skroz potopljeno. Meso u marinadi stavite u hladnjak na 24-48 sati (što duže, to bolje), a komade mesa s vremena na vrijeme i preokrenite.

Nakon što je meso odstajalo u marinadi, bacite svu tekućinu iz lonca, lonac malo isperite, a meso posušite kuhinjskim ručnikom. U loncu rastopite mast, pa meso zapecite na srednje jakoj vatri, po par minuta sa svih strana, samo da se na mesu napravi korica i pore se začepe. Kada ste ga zapekli sa svih strana, puretinu maknite iz lonca i stavite na stranu. U međuvremenu operite, ogulite i nasjeckajte sitno svo povrće, a možete si tu pomoći i sa multipraktikom.

Kada ste meso maknuli iz lonca, u lonac ubacite sjeckane luk, mrkve i celer. Povrće kuhajte jedno 15-20 minuta da se blago karamelizira. Kada je sva voda isparila iz povrća, ubacite u lonac sjeckanu pancetu, te i nju kuhajte jedno 5-10 minuta da se blago zahrska. Na posljetku, dodajte i sjeckani češnjak i stabljike peršina (lišće sačuvajte za kasnije), pa i njih kuhajte koju minutu da zamiriše. Dodajte u lonac šljive, šećer, sol, papar, čili, muškatni oraščić, ružmarin, lovor, koncentrat rajčice, pasiranu rajčicu i vino. Pustite da zavrije pa onda kuhajte par minuta da alkohol ispari. Vratite meso u lonac i sve podlijte sa dovoljno temeljca koliko treba da je puretina skroz potopljena. Pustite da sve zavrije, smanjite vatru i krčkajte sa odškrinutim poklopcem oko 3 sata.

S vremena na vrijeme bacite pogled na pašticadu i promiješajte koliko možete, a prema potrebi i podlijte sa još tekućine. Nakon tri sata maknite sve sa vatre i meso pažljivo izvadite iz umaka. Ispecajte lovorove listove, a umak propulsirajte sa blenderom da bude gladak. Po potrebi možete dodati još temeljca ili vode da umak malo razrijedite. Kušajte i prilagodite začine, a puretinu narežite i vratite u umak. Moja je bila toliko mekana da se počela raspadati. U sve to umiješajte lišće peršina koje ste bili sačuvali.

Pašticadu poslužite toplu, preko nekog ugljikohidrata po vašem izboru. Nama su top njoki ili kuhana palenta.

Spicy Turkey and Green Bean Stew / Pikantno varivo sa puretinom i mahunama

Crunch Crunch Away, , , , , , , , 1 Comment

This easy little stew is well seasoned and brings together the best from two quite different styles of cooking. Initially it starts off as a stir-fry, but then you finish everything with a nice simmer, so all the aromas have time to develop and mingle. I served it over cooked rice, but you can totally have it with a nice hunk of crusty bread as well.

IMGP9129

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 4 servings / 0.93 EUR per serving / 3.73 EUR for all)

IMGP9120

METHOD:

Cut the meat into small cubes, then toss together with salt, black pepper, soy sauce and Sriracha. Allow to sit for about half an hour. While the meat is resting, wash, peel and chop up all the veggies.

Place a wok or deep skillet on medium-high heat and add in coconut oil and meat. Cook for about 5 minutes, until slightly crispy before adding in onion and carrots. Allow the veggies to slightly caramelize and then add in minced ginger and garlic. Give everything a good stir and allow the spices to become fragrant just for a minute before you add in green beans, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, paprika, turmeric, curry powder, brown sugar, tomato paste and veggie broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce heat and simmer with a lid cracked open for about 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes dissolve corn starch in water and stir into the stew to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve with a carb of your choice.

Ovo jednostavno pikantno varivo (ili bolje reći, gulaš) je dobro začinjeno i na neki način objedinjuje u sebi najbolje stvari iz dva totalno različita stila kuhanja. Prvo krenete sa stir-fry prženjem kao za jela iz woka, a na kraju sve završite sa dobrim krčkanjem, tako da se arome sjedine i prožmu. Ja sam ovo jelo poslužila sa kuhanom rižom, ali totalno bi super išlo i uz komad nekog lijepog hrskavog kruha.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 4 porcije / 7,01 kn po porciji / 28,02 kn za sve)

Za meso:

200 g fileta od purećih prsa (10,00 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,15 kn)

1 žlica soja sosa (0,50 kn)

2 žlice Srirache (1,00 kn)

Za varivo:

2 žlice kokosovog ulja (1,00 kn)

1 veliki luk (0,75 kn)

2 mrkve (1,50 kn)

Komadić đumbira veličine palca (1,00 kn)

4 češnja češnjaka (1,00 kn)

300 g smrznutih mahuna (6,00 kn)

½ žličice soli (0,01 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

½ žličice sušenog čilija u pahuljicama (0,25 kn)

1 žličica dimljene paprike (0,50 kn)

1 žličica kurkume u prahu (0,50 kn)

1 žlica curry praha (1,00 kn)

2 žlice koncentrata rajčice (1,00 kn)

2 šalice povrtnog temeljca (1,00 kn)

1 žlica kukuruznog škroba (0,25 kn)

½ šalice tople vode (–)

PRIPREMA:

Meso narežite na male kockice, pa pomiješajte sa solju, paprom, soja sosom i Srirachom. Pustite da odstoji oko pola sata. Dok meso odmara, operite, ogulite i nasjeckajte svo povrće.

Stavite wok ili dublju tavu na srednje jaku vatru, pa dodajte meso. Kuhajte oko pet minuta da se malo zahrska prije nego dodate luk i mrkve. Pustite da se povrće blago karamelizira pa dodajte još sjeckani đumbir i češnjak. Dobro sve promiješajte, pa kada začini zamiriše ubacite mahune, sol, papar, čili, papriku, kurkumu, curry, smeđi šećer, koncentrat rajčice i temeljac. Ostavite da zavrije, smanjite vatru, te krčkajte sa odškrinutim poklopcem 20-tak minuta.

Nakon 20 minuta kukuruzni škrob rastopite u vodi te umiješajte u varivo da se ono zgusne. Kušajte i prilagodite začine, pa poslužite sa ugljikohidratom po vašem izboru.

These one-pot type of dishes not only feed my tummy, but also my soul. Additionally, you only get one single pot dirty and end up with a ton of food. I often whip something like this as a meal prep and then I am all set for the week with minimal effort and minimal number of dirty dishes involved. 😀

IMGP8923

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 6 generous servings / 0.60 EUR per serving / 3.60 EUR for all)

8 cups of veggie broth (0.53 EUR)

Optional for serving:

Fresh baby spinach (0.67 EUR)

IMGP8918

METHOD:

Peel, wash and chop up all the veggies. Add oil, onion, carrots and red pepper to a large pot on high heat and saute for about 10 minutes, until veggies are slightly caramelized. Throw in minced garlic, tomato paste, barley, chickpeas, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, bay leaf, parsley and veggie broth. Give a good stir, bring to a rolling boil and simmer with a lid cracked open for about 45 minutes, until barley is thoroughly cooked through. Stir occasionally while it’s cooking and also add in a splash of water if needed. Taste and adjust seasoning.

For extra greens, serve the stew on a bed of fresh baby spinach. The spinach will wilt down from residual heat. This stew reheats and freezes great, so it’s an excellent meal prep option to have.

Ovakva jela na žlicu nisu samo hrana za moj želuček, već i za moju dušu. Osim toga, zaprljate samo jedan lonac, a na kraju vam ispadne tona svega. Stoga često smutim nešto ovoga tipa i onda imam riješen ručak za cijeli tjedan sa minimalnom količinom posla i minimalnom količinom prljavog suđa. 😀

SASTOJCI:

1 crvena paprika (3,00 kn)

3 češnja češnjaka (0,75 kn)

1 šalica ječma (1,00 kn)

3 šalice kuhanog slanutka (4,50 kn)

1 žličica soli (0,01 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

Dobar prstohvat sušenog čilija u pahuljicama (0,15 kn)

Dodatno za posluživanje:

Svježi baby špinat (5,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Operite, ogulite i nasjeckajte svo povrće. Ulje, luk, mrkve i papriku ubacite u veliki lonac na jakoj vatri i dinstajte desetak minuta da se povrće blago karamelizira. Dodajte sjeckani češnjak, koncentrat rajčice, ječam, slanutak, sol, papar, čili, češnjak u prahu, dimljenu papriku, timijan, lovor, peršin i temeljac. Dobro promiješajte, pustite da zavrije te krčkajte sa odškrinutim poklopcem jedno 45 minuta, dok ječam nije skroz do kraja kuhan. Dok se varivo kuha, s vremena na vrijeme ga promiješajte, a po potrebi dodajte i još malo vode. Kušajte i prilagodite začine.

Za malo ekstra zelenjave, varivo poslužite preko velikog pregršta baby špinata koji će povenuti od zaostale topline. Ovo se varivo super podgrijava i smrzava, tako da je super opcija za pripremiti unaprijed.

These types of dishes instantly throw me back into my childhood, as my grandma used to cook up something like that on a weekly basis. They are also super comforting and cozy, with minimal fuss. This week has been pretty hectic so far, so let’s all chill with a really easy recipe.

IMGP8865

IMGP8863

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 6 generous servings / 1.15 EUR per serving / 6.87 EUR for all)

2 tbsp sunflower seed oil (0.03 EUR)

1 large onion (0.10 EUR)

3 carrots (0.30 EUR)

2 spicy sausages (2.00 EUR)

4 tbsp all-purpose flour (0.03 EUR)

6 cups veggie broth (0.40 EUR)

4 potatoes (0.27 EUR)

800 grams frozen green beans (2.00 EUR)

1 tbsp tomato paste (0.13 EUR)

1 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp garlic powder (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

Good pinch of dried red pepper flakes (0.02 EUR)

1 bay leaf (0.03 EUR)

1 tsp dried thyme (0.07 EUR)

2 tbsp dried parsley (0.27 EUR)

Optional:

Smoked pork bones (1.00 EUR)

IMGP8866

METHOD:

Wash, peel and finely dice all of the veggies. Cut the sausages into coins. Place deep pot on high heat and add in oil, onion, carrots and sausage coins. Saute for about 10 minutes, until fragrant and slightly caramelized. Add in the flour and give a good stir so the veggies and sausages are coated in flour. Then gradually add in veggie broth, while stirring to remove any clumps. Add in all of the remaining ingredients. For some extra smoky flavor, add in some smoked pork bones as well (totally optional, but so, so worth it).

Give a good stir, bring to a rolling boil and reduce heat and simmer with a lid cracked open for about 45 minutes. Give an occasional stir and add a bit more water as needed. Serve warm. This stew reheats great, so it’s also an excellent meal prep option. I wouldn’t suggest freezing it, though, as potatoes tend to turn kinda weird.

Ovakav me tip jela uvijek nekako podsjeti na djetinstvo, jer bi moja baka stalno kuhala nešto slično barem na tjednoj bazi. Uz to, ova hrana je baš onako utješna i fina, a sa njom ima minimalno posla. Cijeli tjedan mi je bio nešto kaotičan, pa ajmo se sada svi skupa malo opustiti uz jedan jako laganini recept.

1 žlica koncentrata od rajčice (1,00 kn)

1 žlica slatke crvene paprike (0,50 kn)

1 žličica češnjaka u prahu (0,50 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

1 žličica soli (0,01 kn)

Dobar prstohvat sušenog čilija u pahuljicama (0,15 kn)

1 lovorov list (0,20 kn)

1 žličica sušenog timijana (0,50 kn)

2 žlice sušenog peršina (2,00 kn)

Dodatno po želji:

Dimljene svinjske kosti (7,50 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Operite, ogulite i fino nasjeckajte svo povrće. Kobasice narežite na novčiće. Stavite veliki lonac na jaku vatru i dodajte ulje, luk, mrkve i kolutiće kobasice. Dinstajte desetak minuta da sve zamiriši i blago se karamelizira. Dodajte brašno i sve dobro promiješajte da se sastojci oblože brašnom. Postepeno uz miješanje dodajte temeljac kako ne bi bilo grudica. Dodajte sve preostale sastojke, a za ekstra aromu dima dodajte i svinjske kosti (totalno neobavezno, ali jako, jako preporučljivo).

Dobro sve promiješajte, pustite da zavrije pa kuhajte sa odškrinutim poklopcem oko 45 minuta. Po potrebi s vremena na vrijeme promiješajte i ako treba podlijte sa malo vode. Poslužite toplo. Ovo se varivo super podgrijava, pa je odlična opcija za pripremiti unaprijed. Smrzavanje vam baš i ne bih preporučila jer krumpiri onda postanu čudnjikavi.

For all mushroom lovers out there, here’s a delicious and filling stew which is super easy to make and also freezer friendly. Sadly, we ate our whole stash already, but I could definitely persuade myself into cooking up another batch.

IMGP8722

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 6 generous servings / 1.08 EUR per serving / 6.50 EUR for all)

2 tbsp sunflower seed oil (0.03 EUR)

1 large onion (0.10 EUR)

2 carrots (0.20 EUR)

2 tbsp vegan butter (0.27 EUR)

250 grams of oyster mushrooms (1.33 EUR)

250 grams of cremini mushrooms (1.33 EUR)

100 grams of shiitake mushrooms (1.00 EUR)

4 garlic cloves (0.13 EUR)

1 and ½ cups barley (0.20 EUR)

2 tbsp tomato paste (0.27 EUR)

1 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.07 EUR)

Good pinch of dried red pepper flakes (0.02 EUR)

1 tsp garlic powder (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp dried oregano (0.07 EUR)

6 cups of veggie broth (0.40 EUR)

400 grams of frozen leafy spinach (1.00 EUR)

IMGP8721

METHOD:

Peel, wash and chop up all the veggies and mushrooms. Add oil, onion and carrots to a large pot on high heat and saute for about five minutes to slightly caramelize. Add in vegan butter and all of the mushrooms. Stir and cook for 10-15 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked down and lightly browned. Now add in minced garlic, barley, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, dried oregano and veggie broth. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce heat and simmer with a lid cracked open for 30 minutes, until the barley is cooked through.

Once the barley is cooked, turn off heat and stir in frozen spinach. Put the lid back on and let the stew sit for about 10 minutes, so the spinach cooks from residual heat. Give a good final stir and serve immediately. This dish also freezes and reheats great, so don’t be shy and be sure to cook up a nice big batch. You’ll definitely thank yourself later.

Za sve vas ljubitelje gljiva, evo vam recept za jedno prefino i zasitno varivo koje, ne samo da je jednostavno za pripremiti, već se i super smrzava. Na žalost, mi smo slistili naše zalihe, ali definitivno bih samu sebe mogla uvjeriti da skuham još jednu turu.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 6 izdašnih porcija / 8,10 kn po porciji / 48,61 kn za sve)

2 žlice veganskog maslaca (2,00 kn)

250 g bukovača (10,00 kn)

250,00 g smeđih šampinjona (10,00 kn)

100 g shiitaka (7,50 kn)

4 češnja češnjaka (1,00 kn)

1 i ½ šalica ječma (1,50 kn)

2 žlice koncentrata od rajčice (2,00 kn)

1 žličica soli (0,01 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

Dobar prstohvat sušenog čilija u pahuljicama (0,15 kn)

1 žličica sušenog origana (0,50 kn)

6 šalica povrtnog temeljca (3,00 kn)

400 g smrznutog špinata u listovima (7,50 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Operite, ogulite i nasjeckajte svo povrće i gljive. Ulje, luk i mrkve stavite u veliki lonac na jakoj vatri i dinstajte jedno pet minuta da se sve blago karamelizira. Dodajte maslac i sve gljive. Dobro promiješajte i kuhajte jedno 10-15 minuta dok tekućina iz gljiva ne ispari i gljive se blago zapeku. Sada dodajte sjeckani češnjak, ječam, koncentrat rajčice, sol, papar, čili, češnjak u prahu, origano i temeljac. Pustite da zavrije, smanjite vatru i krčkajte sa odškrinutim poklopcem oko pola sata, dok ječam ne bude kuhan.

Kada je ječam kuhan, maknite lonac s vatre i umiješajte smrznuti špinat. Ponovno poklopite i ostavite tako desetak minuta da se špinat skuha od topline u loncu. Za kraj sve još jednom promiješajte i odmah poslužite. Ovo se jelo super smrzava i podgrijava, pa se nemojte ustručavati skuhati više. Vjerujte mi, vaše buduće ja biti će vam zahvalno.

If you enjoyed the first Kimchi stew recipe I’ve posted, do check this one out as well. The second version is more hearty and robust, and therefore better suited for colder days we are facing. The warm spices really revive and keep the blood flowing, which was just what I needed after a miserable day of ending soaked up in rain on my way home from work.

IMGP8728

IMGP8727

METHOD:

Peel, wash and chop up all the veggies and mushrooms. Add oil, onion, carrot and potatoes to a pot on high heat. Saute for about five minutes to slightly caramelize then add in garlic and Gochujang. Stir and cook for just a minute before adding in Kimchi, chickpeas, mushrooms, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, bay leaf and soy sauce. Dissolve the chickpea flour in veggie broth, then pour the concoction into the pot. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce heat to low and simmer with a lid cracked open for about half an hour, until the potatoes are thoroughly cooked through. Be sure to stir everything occasionally and, if needed, add in a splash more of water. Turn off heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil. Serve warm. The stew reheats great so it’s also an excellent meal prep option as well.

Have you already tried making Kimchi at home? If so, then you probably have abundance of it and may be searching for ideas to throw Kimchi into other dishes. This stew is just the thing and is unbelievably simple to make and delicious. Honestly, my expectations were pretty low, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised by the outcome, so this will definitely end up in our regular food rotation.

This stew is a clean-up-your-fridge type of dish, which means you can basically chug in anything your heart desires. I had various leftovers floating around, so this is what I came up with. There’s also a tiny bit of pancetta in there as well, but if you’re vegetarian or vegan, feel free to just use smoked tofu instead.

IMGP8454

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 6 servings / 0.60 EUR per serving / 3.60 EUR for all)

2 tbsp sunflower seed oil (0.03 EUR)

1 large onion (0.10 EUR)

4 garlic cloves (0.13 EUR)

3 carrots (0.30 EUR)

Small piece of pancetta (0.67 EUR)

1 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.07 EUR)

Good pinch of dried red pepper flakes (0.02 EUR)

1 tsp garlic powder (0.07 EUR)

1 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp dried basil (0.07 EUR)

1 bay leaf (0.03 EUR)

4 tbsp all-purpose flour (0.03 EUR)

6 cups veggie broth (0.40 EUR)

3 potatoes (0.20 EUR)

1 cup frozen peas (0.20 EUR)

1 cup frozen edamame beans (0.80 EUR)

1 tbsp tomato paste (0.13 EUR)

2 tbsp dried parsley (0.27 EUR)

IMGP8455

METHOD:

Wash, peel and finely dice all of the veggies and pancetta. Place deep pot on high heat and add in oil, onion, garlic and carrots. Saute for a few minutes, until veggies slightly soften up. Add in diced pancetta and cook for a few minutes to slightly crisp up before adding in salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, Hungarian paprika, basil and bay leaf. Cook for a minute, just so the spices become fragrant.

Stir in flour then add about one to two cups of broth. Stir vigorously, so all the flour dissolves in broth and there are no clumps. If needed, add in a bit more broth to thin out the mixture. Then turn the heat down to medium and allow this mix to simmer for about ten minutes, while stirring frequently. After about ten minutes, gradually stir in the remaining broth. Add in diced potatoes, peas, edamame beans, tomato paste and parsley.

Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer with a lid cracked open for 30 minutes. Be sure to give an occasional good stir, so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot. Serve warm or portion out for later, as this stew reheats great.

Ovo varivo je onaj tip jela koji skuhate kada trebate počistiti hladnjak i špajzu, jer unutra bez problema možete utrpati svakakve ostatke. Osim raznog povrća, ja sam imala i mali komadićak pancete, pa sam i nju odlučila iskoristiti. Ako ste vi vegetarijanac ili vegan, slobodno umjesto pancete upotrijebite dimljeni tofu.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 6 porcija / 4,46 kn po porciji / 26,76 kn za sve)

2 žlice suncokretovog ulja (0,20 kn)

1 veliki luk (0,75 kn)

4 češnja češnjaka (1,00 kn)

3 mrkve (2,25 kn)

Mali komadić pancete (5,00 kn)

1 žličica soli (0,01 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

Dobar prstohvat sušenog čilija u pahuljicama (0,15 kn)

1 žličica češnjaka u prahu (0,50 kn)

1 žlica slatke crvene paprike (0,50 kn)

1 žličica sušenog bosiljka (0,50 kn)

1 lovorov list (0,20 kn)

4 žlice glatkog brašna (0,20 kn)

6 šalica povrtnog temeljca (3,00 kn)

3 krumpira (1,50 kn)

1 šalica smrznutog graška (1,50 kn)

1 šalica smrznutog boba (6,00 kn)

1 žlica koncentrata od rajčice (1,00 kn)

2 žlice sušenog peršina (2,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Operite, ogulite i fino nasjeckajte svo povrće i pancetu. Stavite veliki lonac na jaku vatru i dodajte ulje, luk, češnjak i mrkve. Dinstajte nekoliko minuta da sve malo omekša. Ubacite sjeckanu pancetu, pa i nju kuhajte da se malo zahrska prije nego dodate sol, papar, čili, češnjak u prahu, papriku, bosiljak i lovor. Kuhajte minutu da začini zamiriše.

Umiješajte brašno, pa dodajte jednu do dvije šalice temeljca. Sve jako dobro promiješajte da se brašno skroz rastopi u temeljcu i ne bude grudica. Po potrebi razrijedite sa još malo temeljca, te smanjite vatru i uz učestalo miješanje krčkajte desetak minuta. Nakon kojih deset minuta postepeno umiješajte preostali temeljac. Dodajte krumpire, grašak, bob, koncentrat rajčice i peršin.

Pustite da varivo zavrije, smanjite vatru, te kuhajte sa odškrinutim poklopcem 30-tak minuta. S vremena na vrijeme sve dobro promiješajte kako se ništa ne bi uhvatilo za dno lonca. Poslužite odmah toplo, ili rasporedite u porcije za kasnije, s obzirom da se ovo varivo super podgrijava.
