Madlene/Madeleines

Siii..pentru ca mi-am luat forme de madlene..iuhuu..am zis sa le inaugurez cu o tura din aceste prajiturele delicioase si usor de facut.
And because I bought madeleine molds..yeeyyy..I decided to test them with a batch of these delicious and easy to make little cakes.

Ingrediente:
-3 oua

-150 gr zahar
-200 gr faina
-2 linguri apa de flori de portocal(daca nu va place gustul-eu nu ma innebunesc-puteti inlocui cu putina coaja de portocala rasa si 2 linguri de suc de portocale)
-8 gr drojdie uscata
-100 gr unt topit
-50 ml lapte

Ingredients:
-3 eggs
-150 gr sugar
-200 gr flour
-2 tablespoons orange flower water (if you don’t like it-I’m not a big fan- you can replace it with some orange zest and 2 tablespoons orange juice)
-8 gr active dry yeast
-100 gr melted butter
-50 ml milk

Topim untul la foc mic, dam deoparte si lasam sa se raceasca un pic. Amestecam ouale cu zaharul pana se albeste amestecul. Adaugam apa de portocal si 40 ml lapte.
Amestecam,apoi adaugam faina si drojdia, apoi untul si laptele ramas. Mai amestecam si lasam sa se odihneasca 15 minute.
We melt the butter to a low temperature, we set aside and let cool. We mix the eggs with the sugar until it whitens. We add the orange flower water and 40 ml milk.
We mix and then add the flour and the yeast, then the melted butter and the rest of the milk. We mix again and then let rest for 15 minutes.
Ungem cu unt formele de madlene si turnam amestecul in ele(insa nu le umplem,caci ele vor mai creste si la copt)
Incingem cuptorul la 240C (termostat 8) si coacem 5 minute,apoi scadem temperatura la 200C (termostat 6-7) si mai lasam 10 minute.
We butter the molds and then pour the mixture (be careful not to fill them, though, as they will grow in the oven)
We heat the oven to 240C (thermostat 8) and bake for 5 minutes, then lower it to 200C (thermostat 6-7) and let bake for another 10 minutes.
Scoatem din forme si le lasam sa se raceasca pe un gratar,cu grija sa nu se lipeasca intre ele. Eu am uns cateva si cu niste ciocolata topita la cuptorul cu microunde,asa,sa fie !:) Merg de minune cu un pahar cu lapte(pentru copii) si cu o cana maare de cafea-pentru adulti.  Sa le serviti cu pofta !
Unmold the madeleines and let cool on a rack, careful because they are sticky. I melted some chocolate to the microwaves and spread it over some of my madeleines. They are perfect with a glass of milk (for children) and a big cup of coffee-for adults. Enjoy them!




Guacamole

Sosul asta e delicios si incredibil de usor de facut. Merge ca aperitiv,servit inainte de masa,ori pur si simplu ca gustare,in fata televizorului,alaturi de o bere.:)
This sauce is delicious and incredibly easy to make.It goes well as appetizer ,before meal,or served as a snack,in front of tv, accompanied by a beer.:)


Ingrediente:
2 fructe avocado coapte
1 rosie
1 ceapa mica
1 lingura suc lamaie(eu am folosit 2)
2 fire patrunjel
Sare,piper

Ingredients:
2 very ripe avocados
1 tomato
1 small onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice (I used 2)
2 springs parsley
Salt, pepper



Decojim rosia si o curatam de samburi.Rosia se decojeste foarte usor daca o tinem  2-3 minute in apa foarte fierbinte. Taiem apoi rosia in bucatele mici. Curatam avocado. Curatam ceapa si o taiem bucati.
Skin and de-seed the tomato. The tomato can be easily de-seeded if we keep it in hot water for 2-3 minutes. Cut the tomato into chunks. Remove the peel and stones from the avocados. Peel the onion and cut into chunks.

Punem ceapa,rosia,sucul de lamaie, patrunjelul(taiat marunt),sare,piper si avocado in mixer(paletele de metal) si mixam un minut,doua,pana se omogenizeaza.
Place the onion, tomato, lemon juice, parsley, salt, pepper and the flesh of the 2 avocados in the bowl (metal blades) and mix for 1 or 2 minutes until it is homogeneous.




Servim cu chipsuri de tortilla,nachos,crackers sau ce avem la indemana. Sa-aveti pofta,zic !
We serve with tortilla chips, nachos, crackers or whatever comes to hand.Enjoy!
