CHEESE PART ONE: BLUE STILTON - QUESO PRIMERA PARTE: AZUL STILTON

 

First here you have a video about this wonderful cheese as an introduction if you don't know it aquí


Last friday I was really tired even for going out to have dinner, so we decided  to buy some cheese and a botle of wine and spend the night home.One of the cheeses I bought was blue stilton, for me the best blue cheese you can have. I have left a link for more information about this fabulous cheese. First time I tried blue stilton was when I was living in the UK and since then it has been my favourite.

When the cheese I had left I make on saturday this risotto with spinach and blue stilton that was really delicious.

VEGETARIAN BURGER - HAMBURGUESAS VEGETARIANAS

 

I don't remember where I found this recipe, I think it was an article in a newspaper magazine on cheap recipes. I found the idea very interesting and since then there are always in my fridge a bunch of then. Of course, I didn't copy the recipe so I make then in the same way I do meat balls but with curry.
The main ingredient is a bag of frozen mix vegetables.

INGREDIENTS
- 1 bag of frozen vegatables
- 2 eggs
- curry
- crumble bread
- flour
- white wine
- 1 onion
- salt

- Defrost the vegetables ( you can use the microwave)
- Put then in a bowl with the eggs, wine, crumble bread, curry and the onion
- Use a food processor to combine all the ingredients
- with the mixture make the burgers and coat then in flour
- Put then in a pan with a bit of oil.

Creo que cogí la idea para esta receta del suplemento dominical de algún diario, me pareció muy interesante y desde entonces siempre tengo en mi congelador unas cuantas, son muy útiles cuando no tienes ganas de cocinar. No copié la receta así que más o menos uso la misma mezcla que para las albóndigas pero le añado curry.
El ingrediente principal es una bolsa de menestra congelada.


INGREDIENTES
- 1 bolsa de menestra congelada
- 2 huevos
- 1 cebolla
- 1 vaso de vino blanco
- curry
- Harina
- Pan rallado

- Dejar descongelar la menestra ( se puede usar el microondas)
- Poner la menestra en un bowl y añadirle los huevos, la cebolla, el vino, el curry, la sal y el pan rallado
- Pasar por la batidora
- Hacer las hamburguesas y pasarlas por harina
- Poner en una sartén un poco de aceite 

COCONUT CREME CARAMEL - FLAN DE COCO

- put the mixture into a baking pan with caramel ( I used sweet wine with sugar) and put in the oven and bake in a bain-marie until ready

SANLÚCAR DE BDA

Parroquia de la O.

Today I am writing about my hometown, one of the best places I know to have tapas. I am not going to talk about any specific place, I'll leave that for other post, but the other day while I was visiting my family my mother made this tapa I really enjoy. It is very easy and it doesn't required any cooking but the result is really amazing. It is made with a dry sardine, I don't know if you have a name for that in english but you have the picture here, the picture is not very good and the bread it is not adequate for this kind of dish but I was craving to have it again.

INGREDIENTS:

1 DRY SARDINE
2 SPRING ONIONS
OLIVE OIL

Prepare the sardine taking out the fish bone and the head and cut into pieces
Shop the spring onions
Mix the sardines, spring onions and olive oil in a bowl
Serve in rustic bread cut into slices

CUCUMBER SOUP - SOPA DE PEPINO

 

Yesterday I didn`t know what to cook for dinner, in my fridge there were some cucumber and yogurt and I thought of making a salad but when I start peeling the cucumber I thought about this soup my husband loves that I haven`t make in a long time. It is very easy and didn`t need many things to be good.
I know it was raining and it seemed more autunm than summer but for me still feels like summer continues.

INGREDIENTS

1K CUCUMBER
1 GARLIC GLOVE
1 GREEK YOGURT
1 LEMON
SALT
OLIVE OIL

Peel the cucumbers and put everything in the food processor, be careful with the lemon because if you put to much the taste is going to be very strong.

SOPA DE PEPINO


1KG DE PEPINOS
1 DIENTE DE AJO
1 YOGURT GRIEGO
1 LIMON
SAL Y ACEITE DE OLIVA

Se pelan los pepinos y se baten todos los ingredientes, tener cuidado con el limón porque si nos pasamos sabrá muy ácido.
