Winter cabbage

len — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:13:46 +0000

It’s almost winter now and the vegetables market reflects that feeling. The piles of cabbage felt appealing to me and I decided on a cabbage winter dish recipe (also in romanian).

Winter cabbage

Ingredients

1 kg of cabbage. It’s still very soft at this time. Don’t forget that the cabbage will shrink greatly.
a bit of smoked meat
thyme, salt, pepper
corn flour for the polenta

Method

cut the cabbage in thin slices, put it in a large bowl and rub with 2-3 tbs of salt
let it rest for 30 mins then drain the water which remains in the bowl. The cabbage already is reduced to 2/3
you can use this time to prepare the polenta, I sometime add cheese in the polenta which melts nicely and gives extra flavor.
brown the smoked meat and set aside, will mix with the cabbage later when it’s almost soft.
heat some sunflower oil (2-3 tbs) then add the drained cabbage, cover
stir from time to time on a low flame until the cabbage is soft. It will be reduced again to about 1/4 of the original. Add the smoked meat.
when ready add dried thyme (also found in the market at this time). I like adding a lot of thyme, about 2-3 tbs.
a nice food to enjoy when outside is 6C.

Friptura de porc la cuptor

len — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 08:32:23 +0000

O reteta de iarna tocmai buna pentru masa de craciun:

Friptura de porc la cuptor

Ingrediente

1 kg de muschi/file de porc complet dezghetat
putina slanina
putina carne afumata
condimente: usturoi, cimbru, piper, coriandru
garnitura: cartofi sau ciuperci

Metoda

carnea se curata foarte bine si se impaneaza cu slanina, carne afumata si usturoi
se presara cu condimente (sarea eu o pun la sfarsit)
cartofii se amesteca cu cimbru, sare, piper coriandru si putin ulei
se pun la cuptor pentru 20 – 30 minute sau pana carnea devine foarte moale si alba (se testeaza cu o furculita care trebuie sa intre usor).
pofta buna si craciun fericit!

Varza calita de iarna

len — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 19:24:55 +0000

In piata a venit iarna. Ma invarteam cu tristete printre tarabe cautand inspiratie cand am dat cu ochii de varza (see recipe in english). Cumva o rotita s-a invartit si asa mi-a venit ideea sa fac varza calita in acelasi fel ca vinetele de urgenta in tigaia de teflon pe foc mic, mic.

Varza calita (photo updated 2009-11-13)

Ingrediente

o varza
1/2 ardei iute uscat
carne de porc (optional)
mirodenii: piper, foi de dafin, cibru

Metoda

se taie varza fasiute, se amesteca cu sare si se lasa 30 minute sa se inmoaie.
se taie carnea de porc cubulete si se prajeste 50% in putin ulei intr-o tigaie groasa de teflon
se adauga apoi varza care s-a scurs, o frunza de dafin si se acopera cu un capac
se lasa 30 – 45 min mestecand din timp in timp ca sa nu se arda. Varza se face in propriul abur si scade cel putin la jumate.
la sfarsit se adauga mult cimbru si se mai lasa un pic
se serveste calda cu paine sau mamaliga
pofta buna

Inceput de iarna, Comana

len — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 05:57:16 +0000

Ieri era frig (6°C) si urat asa ca am zis sa incepem cu o tura scurta sa ne testam echipamentul si mintile la noile temperaturi: 40 km in parcul natural Comana unde am mai fost si alte dati: 1, 2.

Len, de iarna

Traseul pe scurt: Uzunu (pe drumul spre Giurgiu), Mihai Bravu, Vlad Tepes, lunga bucla prin padure pana la Comana, continuare prin padure pe langa balta Neajlovului cu iesire la Mihai Bravu si intoarcere la Uzunu. Vezi trackul gps, sau fisierul kml cu mai multe detalii.

De iarna

Deja e clar, a venit iarna, cel putin din punct de vedere al turelor cu bicicleta e confirmat. Asa ca la intoarcere a mers foarte bine o supa de conopida calda.

Nu e nebun, e bandit

len — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 00:23:52 +0000

Cand am vazut nametii de afara a fost clar ca cel putin cateva saptamani nu se va putea circula in oras si chiar daca s-ar putea circula probabilitatea gasirii unui loc de parcare va fi minima. Asa ca pentru un preview al zilelelor urmatoare, bine echipati si mascati am iesit sa dam o tura pana la Rodiq acasa. Vineri, aproape de miezul noptii, 3 biciclisti.
Din nou, pentru cei care cred ca nu se poate merge cu bicicleta decat vara, totul e doar o chestie de echipament. Cand e zapada afanata ai tendinta sa lasi picioarele asa ca nu strica niste bocanci si pantaloni etansati. Mai trebuie o geaca normala, manusi cu degete si cel mai important pentru cap: cagula sau masca caci altfel tinzi sa tragi aerul foarte rece in piept si racesti garantat, ochelari daca ai ochii sensibili la frig. Astfel echipat, daca zapada e cat de cat batatorita poti merge cu relativa usurinta cu cauciucuri normale pe un MTB.
Usurinta pentru tine dar nu si pentru oamenii care se uita si nu inteleg:
“Esti nebun, copile?”
“Nu e nebun e bandit!”
Cam asa am parut probabil, in spatele unui bloc din Floreasca si masinii de politie care dadea rondul, incat sa fim legitimati. Ca sfat, cumparati masti rosii sau galbene :)

Am mai facut asta altadata si altadata si altadata.

Celery, carrots salad

Ro: salata de telina si morcov

Although this is one of the simplest things to do which we did in high-school I managed to forgot it and rediscovered with great pleasure this year.

Ingredients

1 egg, mustard, mustard seeds, oil, salt and pepper, lemon juice (your mayonnaise ingredients
1/2 medium size celery (around 500g), carrots (1/2 carrot)

Preparation

make a normal mayonnaise. The only difference is the mustard seeds which are mostly for looks, you can also use a dijon mustard with lots of seeds
scrape the carrot and add to the mayo
scrape the celery and add as much as you like to the mayo and carrot. Mix until you like the taste and the mayo/celery+carrot balance
enjoy

Pork with garlic

len — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 19:54:10 +0000

This is something very simple based on a traditional food called “pomana porcului” which is made from the initial meat when you cut the pig in a traditional farm.

Ingredients

pork meat
a lot of garlic, 10-12 garlic gloves or even more

Preparation

cut the pork meat in small pieces
fine cut the garlic
heat the oil
add the meat and wait until 99% done
add the garlic and stir until the garlic is brown. Depending of how much you brown the garlic it might loose completely the specific smell so it’s a question of trial and error. I always end up wondering where all the garlic has gone.
serve hot with polenta
