Tortilla con patatas

Am mancat acum ceva timp pentru prima oara si mi-a placut mult,asa ca am cautat reteta si am gasit-o la Edith ,asa ca m-am pus imediat pe treaba. Va invit si pe voi sa o incercati,e foarte gustoasa si usor de facut!

I ate this a while ago for the first time and I liked it a lot,so I searched it and found it at Edith 's, and I tried it immediately. i invite you to try it too, it's very tasty and easy to make!

Ingrediente:

2 cartofi medii
3 oua
o ceapa
1 catel de usturoi

sare, ulei

Ingredients :
2 medium potatoes
3 eggs
1 onion
1 garlic clove
salt, pepper
Dupa ce curatam cartofii,ii taiem cubulete mici. Ceapa si usturoiul le tocam fin si le punem la calit in mult ulei.Dupa ce se calesc ceapa si usturoiul adaugam cartofii si amestecam din cand in cand. Cartofii nu trebuie sa se prajeasca,doar sa se rumeneasca.
After peeling the potatoes, we cut them into small cubes. We chop the onion and the garlic and put fry them in a large amount of oil. After they are ready we add the potatoes and stir from time to time. The potatoes must not be cooked, but slightly brown.


Intre timp, batem ouale intr-un castron incapator.  Dupa ce sunt gata cartofii,scurgem uleiul din ei si ii adaugam peste oua. Amestecam. Ungem tigaia cu putin ulei, il incingem,si apoi turnam amestecul. Lasam la foc mic. Dupa ce e gata intr-o parte, luam de pe foc,punem o farfurie intinsa peste, rasturnam, apoi asezam tortilla la loc in tigaie pe partea neprajita inca. Dupa ce e gata, luam de pe foc si servim simpla(sau cu cascaval deasupra). Bun-bun !
Meanwhile, we beat the eggs in a large bowl. After the potatoes are ready, we drain the oil and add them to eggs. We stir. We oil the pan, heat it, and then pour the mix.  We reduce the heat. After one side is done, we take off the heat, we place a large plate on it, we overturn it, and then place it on the pan on the raw side. When it’s ready, we take off the heat and serve it simple (or with grated cheese on it). Yummy!

Quiche Lorraine

Quiche lorraine este o tarta sarata ce contine bacon taiat marunt(sau lardon). Este o reteta traditionala frantuzeasca, consumata cel mai adesea calda,ca antreu,insa poate tine loc si de pranz. Oricand ati consuma-o,este delicioasa si va va incanta la maxim!

Quiche lorraine is a salty tart with chopped bacon(or lardons). It is a traditional French recipe, often eaten warm, as an appetizer,but it can be also eaten as lunch. Anytime you choose to eat it, it will be delicious and it will delight you for sure!

Ingrediente:
-1 foaie aluat
-3 oua intregi
-300 ml smantana dulce
-250 ml lapte
-300 grame bacon taiat marunt
-150 grame cascaval ras(Emmental)
-sare, piper, nucsoara

Ingredients :
-1 puff pastry
-3 eggs
-300 ml creme fraiche
-250 ml milk
-300 grams bacon (cut in small pieces)
-150 grams grated cheese(Emmental)
-salt,pepper,nutmeg
 

Incalziti cuptorul la 250C pentru 10 minute. In forma de tarta asezati aluatul scos in prealabil din frigider cu jumatate ora inainte. Intepati cu o furculita aluatul pentru a nu se umfla. Bagati la cuptor pentru 10 minute,pana ce aluatul devine auriu.
Scoateti aluatul din cuptor si lasati-l sa se raceasca.

Heat the oven at 250C for 10 minutes.Put the pastry puff (take it out of the fridge half an hour ahead) in the tart form and stick it with a fork several times. Put in the oven for 10 minutes,until golden brown.
Take it out of th oven and let cool.




Prajiti bucatile de bacon si scurgeti-le de grasime.Intr-un vas amestecati ouale cu smantana.Adaugati si laptele amestecand incontinuu. Adaugati sare,piper si nucsoara dupa gust.
Cook the bacon and drain the fat. In a bowl mix the eggs with the crème fraiche. Add the milk continuing stirring. Add salt,pepper and nutmeg.
Imprastiati baconul peste aluat si varsati deasupra amestecul lichid. Presarati deasupra cascavalul ras.
Bagati la cuptorul incalzit la 250C aproximativ 30 minute. Daca dupa 25 de minute faceti testul scobitorii si aceasta iese curata,puteti scoate din cuptor.
Spread the bacon oven the dough and pour the mixture. Sprinkle the grated cheese.
Put in the oven heated at 250C for approx. 30 minutes. If after 25 minutes it passes the toothpick test (the toothpick is clean after putting it into the quiche) it means it is ready and you can put it out of the oven.

Pofta buna va doresc!

Creme brulee

Creme brulee este varianta mai fina(din punctul meu de vedere) a cremei de zahar ars a noastra. Este un desert delicat,avand la baza doar cateva componente,care insa in timp s-a diversificat,iar acum putem adauga diverse arome, coaja de portocala rasa,fructe,etc... Eu am facut pentru prima oara,si asta pentru ca mi-am luat arzatorul special pe care,din nu stiu ce motiv,mi-l doream tare de tot.:)) Asa ca s-au legat toate si a iesit...ce urmeaza!

Creme brulee is, in my opinion, the smoother version of the flan. It's a delicate dessert, based on only a few ingredients, which today can be improved with several essences, orange zest, fruits,etc..It was the first time I made it, and that thanks to the fact that I bought the special burner that I was craving for-for unknown reasons.:))) So..everything came together and this is what followed!


Ingrediente:
-4 galbenusuri
-100 grame zahar(data viitoare voi pune mai putin,mi s-a parut parut cam dulce)
-250 ml smantana dulce
-250 ml lapte rece
-esenta vanilie
-zahar brun


Ingredients :
-4 egg yolks
-100 grams sugar (next time I will use less, it was a little too sweet for me)
-250 ml whipping cream
-250 ml cold milk
-vanilla essence
-brown sugar




Batem galbenusurile si adaugam progresiv zaharul. Amestecam pana se albeste. Adaugam  smantana dulce si laptele. Amestecam bine. Adaugam cateva picaturi de esenta de vanilie.
Whisk the egg yolks and add the sugar progressively. Mix until it becomes white. Add the whipping cream and the milk. Mix well. Add a few drops of the vanilla essence.

 Umplem  formele. Punem la  cuptorul incins la 100C. Lasam aproximativ o ora. Crema va avea consistenta unei gelatine. Lasam sa se raceasca apoi bagam la frigider pentru minim 2 ore.
Fill the ramekins. Put in the oven heated at 100 C. Let for approx. 1 hour. It will look like a jelly. Let cool then put in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
 Pentru a finaliza,inainte de a consuma, presaram  zaharul brun peste crema rece si avem doua variante:
-fie folosim un arzator special pe care il tinem cateva secunde deasupra pana se caramelizeaza zaharul
-fie mai bagam putin la cuptor aproape de grill cateva secunde.

 To finish, right before serving, sprinkle the sugar on top and you have two choices:
-you either use a special burner for a few seconds to caramelize the sugar
-or put in the oven again-close to the grill-for a few seconds also.



Creme brulee se serveste in mod ideal rece cu zaharul brun fierbinte.Savurare placuta !:)

Crème brulee is ideally served cold with the hot caramelized sugar. Enjoy!

Si cu ceva mai mult zahar..:)

Paine cu masline si cascaval/Olive cheese bread

Uneori,lucrurile simple pot fi cele mai delicioase. Asta e si povestea acestei tartine calde cu masline si cascaval, care se face foarte simplu, fara ingrediente pretentioase,si e nemaipomenita...Painea devine crocanta, delicioasa datorita untului care ii intra in miez..mmm...cu siguranta reteta asta o sa fie pe repeat o vreme..Si se poate face si in alte combinatii...puteti adauga bacon prajit, ciuperci..ce va mai face placere.

Sometimes, simple things can be the most delicious. This is the story of this hot sandwich with olives and cheese, easy to cook, without any special ingredients, and it is great too..The bread becomes crispy, delicious thanks to the butter that melts into its crumb...mmm...I will certainly repeat this recipe for a while. And you can use other combinations too..you cand add crispy bacon, mushrooms...whatever else you prefer..

Ingrediente:
-O jumatate de bagheta,sau o ciabatta
-100 grame unt temperatura camerei
-150 grame masline fara samburi taiate bucati (verzi,negre,cum va plac)
-150 grame cascaval ras(orice tip va place-eu am folosit un amestec de Gruyere,Mozzarella si Gouda)
-2 fire ceapa verde taiate marunt
-1-2 linguri maioneza

Ingredients:
-Half of a French bread or a ciabatta
-100 grams butter -at room temperature
-150 grams chopped olives (green, black, as you wish)
-150 grams grated cheese (any kind you like-I used a mixture of Gruyere, Mozzarella and Gouda)
-2 chopped green onions
-1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise


Amestecam cu o furculita intr-un vas incapator untul cu maioneza si cu cascavalul,apoi adaugam maslinele. Taiem painea in doua,pe lungime,si impartim compozitia in doua. O jumatate o imprastiem pe o bucata de paine,cealalta jumatate...v-ati prins..:) pe cealalta parte.
We stir in a large bowl, with a fork, the butter with the mayonnaise and the cheese, and then we add the olives. We cut the loaf of bread in half, lengthwise, and split the composition in two parts. One of them we spread on one half of the bread, the other one…you got it..:)..on the other half.





Bagam in cuptorul incins bine si lasam aproximativ 20-25 minute. Nu am cuvinte sa va spun cat de bun a fost, asa ca va las sa incercati si sa va convingeti singuri ! S-aveti pofta !
 We put them in the heated oven and let for approximately 20-25 minutes. I have no words telling you how good it was, so I will let you try and convince yourselves! Enjoy!
