This time I chose to use chicken meat, because I wanted it to be lighter, especially that I only cooked 3 portions. But I usually use porc and beef (or pork only) and double the quantities. So you can choose your favourite meat and double the list of ingredients if you want to have food for at least 2 days.:)
Ingrediente:
-500 gr carne tocata pui
-1/4 legatura verdeata-patrunjel,marar
-2 oua
-5 cartofi medii spalati,curatati si taiati
felii
-ulei-50 ml
-bulion- o lingura
-sare,piper-dupa gust
Ingredients :
-500 gr minced chicken
meat
-1/4 bunch parsley or
dill
- 2 eggs
-5 medium potatoes
washed, peeled and sliced
-oil-50 ml
-tomato puree-1
tablespoon
-salt, pepper-to taste
Incingem bine un sfert de pahar de ulei si
adaugam carnea tocata. Amestecam incet si din cand in cand adaugam cate jumatate
de pahar de apa.
We heat a quarter cup
of oil and add the minced meat. We stir slowly and from time to time we add
half a glass of water.
Dupa aproximativ 20 de minute (la porc
dureaza mai mult) cand carnea e gata adaugam bulionul dizolvat in putina apa si lasam putin sa fiarba,apoi
adaugam sare,piper dupa gust si verdeata tocata marunt.
After approx. 2o
minutes (it takes longer for the pork) when the meat is done we add the tomato
puree dissolved in water and we let it boil just a little bit and then add
salt, pepper and the chopped parsley(or dill).
Amestecam bine si dam deoparte sa se
raceasca. Intr-un castron batem bine cele 2 oua cu putina sare.
Pregatim cartofii si ii tinem in apa
rece.Eu,pentru ca am facut portii individuale,am ales niste cartofi mai mici,insa
la o cratita normala sunt de preferat cartofi medii taiati pe lungime.E mai
usor de lucrat asa plus ca se vad mai frumos la final,iar mancarea are un aer
mai compact.
Am luat apoi formele(ca daca nu luam
cratita J ) si am uns cu putin ulei fiecare forma. Adaugam un strat de
cartofi, un strat de carne,apoi luam cu lingura ou si punem peste.Repetam
operatiunea cu inca un strat de cartofi,apoi carne,apoi iar ou. Terminam cu un
strat de cartofi « stropit » din abundenta cu ou. Daca va place mai
sarat,puteti adauga putina sare pe cartofi,dupa fiecare strat. Eu i-am lasat
asa,pentru ca amestecul de carne era tocmai bun.Deasemenea,cartofii se pot si
praji in prealabil,insa eu prefer sa ii pun asa,e mai sanatos si la fel de
gustos.
We stir and then set
aside to cool. In a bowl we beat the eggs with a touch of salt.
We prepare the
potatoes which we keep in cold water. Because I used individual portions I have
chosen my potatoes to be little but for a normal pan it is better to use medium
potatoes cut in length. It’s easier to work this way and prettier in the end,
plus the food looks more compact.
I then took the little
pans (otherwise I would have taken the big one J ) and oiled each one a bit. We add a layer of potatoes, a layer of meat,
then we use the spoon to add some beaten egg. We repeat the operation with
another layer of potatoes, then meat, then egg again. We finish with a layer of
potatoes covered with beaten eggs. If you like it saltier you could a touch of
salt on each layer of potatoes. I let them just as they were because the mix of
meat was just fine. Also, the potatoes can be fried, but I prefer to use them
like that, it’s healthier and just as tasty.
Bagam cratita la cuptorul incalzit la
temperatura medie pana se rumeneste ultimul strat de cartofi si cartofii sunt
usor de strapuns cu o furculita. Pofta buna va doresc !
We introduce the pan
in the heated oven at medium temperature until the last layer of potatoes is
brown and the potatoes can easily be pierced with a fork. Enjoy!
