Muffins cu crumble, afine si mar verde/Green apple, blueberries, crumble muffins

Cand am vazut prima oara reteta asta aici am avut o tresarire.Bine,ce-i drept,tresar cam des cand e vorba de mancare :)),dar chiar mi s-au parut niste muffins geniale,la prima vedere. Asa ca mi-am zis ca n-ar strica sa observ indeaproape reteta si, cateva zile mai tarziu(si de cateva ori bune dupa aia) savuram niste muffins absolut divine. Pufoase, aromate, consistente..o nebunie! Va invit si pe voi asadar sa va aventurati in cunoasterea lor mai in amanunt,si daca ( de fapt,dupa ce) va plac, nu ezitati sa imi trimiteti poze (daca reusiti sa faceti pana se termina)!

Super trooper recipe of muffins, that is! I can assure you that you will love the flavor, the consistency, the fluffiness of these ones! And if you (and you will) love and try the recipe, don't hesitate to send me pictures of your work!:)

Clatite americane/American pancakes

La reteta asta..nu am multe sa va zic.E o reteta pe care o fac de ani buni deja, ne place de fiecare data,si nu vreau sa insist ca imi ploua in gura si pozele sunt facute mai demult,deci nu am la indemana.:))) Clatitele ies pufoase, gustoase si...hai,la treaba,nu mai stati!:))

This is the recipe that I use every time we want to eat fluffy American pancakes. They are a hit every time, and we tried them with so many combinations that I cannot remember..:)) I advise you to be careful, they can be addictive!:)

 

 

Ingrediente:

-400 grame faina

-500 ml lapte

-4 oua

-3 lingurite rase praf de copt

-1/2 lingurita rasa bicarbonat de sodiu

-1 varf sare

-5 linguri zahar

-1 zahar vanilat

-6 linguri ulei

Ingredients :

-400 grams flour

-500 ml milk

-4 eggs

-3 teaspoons baking soda

-1/2 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate

-1 pinch salt

-5 tablespoons sugar

-1 sachet vanilla sugar

-6 tablespoons oil

Amesteca faina, praful de copt, zahar si le dam prin sita. Separam albusurile de galbenusuri. Albusurile le mixam bat,iar galbenusurile si un varf de sare le mixam pana se albesc(3 minute) amestecam laptele cu uleiul si adaugam galbenusurilor. Adaugam mixul de lapte si galbenusuri peste faina, amestecand bine, apoi adaugam si albusurile spuma, amestecand de jos in sus, usor. Ungem o tigaie cu unt, apoi stergem untul cu un servetel. Turnam cu polonicul compozitie,iar cand face bule intoarcem pe partea cealalta. Eu clatitele le fac mereu la foc mediu spre mic, sa nu se arda. Sunt bune calde,reci,servite cu gem,ciocolata, crema de lapte, frisca,miere,nuci,alune sau orice va mai trece prin cap !:) Pofta buna !

We sift the flour, the baking soda and the sugar.  We separate the eggs. We beat the egg whites until they form peaks and mix the yolks with a pinch of salt for about 3 minutes, until the mixture gets white. We mix the milk and the oil and add the mixture to the yolks. We stir and then pour the batter over the flour stirring gently with a spatula. We add the egg whites also and continue stirring gently. We butter a pan and then remove the butter with a napkin. We pour the batter with a ladle, and when it starts bubbling we flip. I always cook them in medium to low heat. Wonderful! J

Chec cu glazura de lamaie/Lemon glazed cake

Intr-adevar, e posibil sa am ceva cu aroma de lamaie..:)) O cam iubesc,si cred ca nici eu nu ii sunt indiferenta.:)) Asa ca acum ceva timp,dupa ce am facut biscuitii cu unt si lamaie si mi-a mai ramas glazurica, am zis ca ar fi o idee sa nu o risipesc..:) Asa ca am facut checul asta delicios! Bun,bun,bun si bun!

Ingrediente:

-2 oua

-1 pahar zahar

-1/2 pahar iaurt/lapte batut

-1/2 cup yoghurt/buttermilk

-100 grams butter/margarine

-1/2 sachet baking powder

-vanilla extract

-1 cup flour

 

Lemon glaze

 

 

 

 

 

Topim untul/margarina la foc mic si il racim putin.  Intr-un bol mai mare batem ouale cu zaharul. Adaugam iaurtul, apoi amestecam.  Adaugam untul topit, vanilia,amestecam. Praful de copt il cernem impreuna cu faina si adaugam treptat amestecului. Compozitia trebuie sa arate ca o smantana fluida. Punem in forma unsa cu unt si tapetata cu hartie de copt si bagam la cuptorul incins la mediu.  E gata cand trece testul scobitorii(in functie de cuptor). Cand s-a racit glazuram. Bagam la rece minim o ora apoi feliem. Suuper bun!

We melt the butter to low and let cool. In a large bowl we beat the eggs with the sugar. We add the yoghurt, and then stir. We add the melted butter, the vanilla, we mix. We sift the baking powder with the flour and gradually add to the mixture. The batter should look like a fluid heavy cream. We pour into the greased pan with paper baking and put in the medium hated oven until it’s golden brown (it has to pass the toothpick test). When cooled, we pour the glaze. We let cool in the fridge for an hour then slice. Veery good!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pizza cu spanac si mozzarella/Spinach and mozzarella pizza

Mi-am dat seama ca nu am postat retete de pizza inca,desi fac..nu pot sa spun ca foarte des,de cand am descoperit o mega pizzerie de neegalat:)), dar cu regularitate. Astazi va propun o reteta gustoasa, cu spanac si mozzarella, sa zicem ca un piiic mai sanatoasa decat altele..:))
Sincer,data viitoare as adauga si niste feta,sa o faca mai sarata,ca mie imi place mai sarat(da,stiu,nu e bine..dar e mai gustos:D ) dar in rest nu am ce sa ii reprosez!:) Pofta buna sa aveti!

Today I'm posting this spinach mozzarella pizza recipe, because I realized that even though we eat home made pizza frequently, I didn't get to post any recipes yet. It's...let's say..a healthier version..thanks to the spinach..:)..so we can eat it without remorse. I would add some feta cheese next time though, because I like it saltier..:)

 

 

Ingrediente:

-500 grame faina

-1 cub drojdie(42 gr)

-1 lingurita zahar

-4 linguri ulei masline

-sare

-200 grame spanac fiert in apa cu sare 3 minute

-50 grame masline(optional)

-200-300 grame mozzarella

-2 catei usturoi

-50 grams olives (optional)

- 200-300 grams mozzarella

-2 cloves garlic

-1 can peeled tomatoes (400 grams)

-1 teaspoon dry oregano

Asezam faina intr-un castron si facem o gropita in mijloc. Frecam drojdia cu o lingurita de zahar si o dizolvam in 100  ml apa calduta. Turnam amestecul in gropita, lasam sa dospeasca 15 minute acoperit. Apoi adaugam uleiul de masline, 100 ml apa calduta si un praf de sare,amestecam si framantam un aluat pe care il acoperim si il lasam sa creasca la caldura 45 de minute.

 

We sift the flour in a large bowl and make a hole in the middle. We mix the yeast with a teaspoon of sugar and 100 ml warm milk. We pour the mixture into the hole and let rise for 15 minutes covered.  We then add the olive oil, 100 ml warm milk and a pinch of salt, we mix and knead a dough that we cover and let rise for 45 minutes.

 

Tocam spanacul. Taiem maslinele felii, mozzarella la fel. Amestecam rosiile cu usturoiul tocat , oregano, sare si piper.

We cut the spinach, the olives and the mozzarella. We mix the tomatoes with the minced garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.

Incingem cuptorul la 200C. Ungem o tava. Mai framantam o data aluatul si intindem o foaie pe care o asezam pe tava. Ungem cu sos de rosii si repartizam spanacul,mozzarella si maslinele. Coacem 30 de minute.

We heat the oven to 200 C. We oil a pan. We knead again and we stretch it in the pan. We add the tomato sauce and, the spinach, mozzarella and olives. We bake for 30 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Briose Panettone/Panettone muffins

Nu,nu e reteta "aceea" de panettone,cea originala,la care muncesti 3-4 zile si mananci tot in 5 minute.:D inca nu am timpul si rabdarea pentru aia.:) Insa e o reteta buna de briose incarcate cu bunatati,ce pot fi gatite si acum, ca se apropie Pastele.Sau Floriile.Sau pohta ce-am pohtit.
Tin sa precizez ca pe langa ce am scris mai jos am adaugat un pic de lapte cald(nu mai stiu cat) pentru ca nu mi se parea destul de elastic aluatul. Asa ca daca patiti la fel,va sfatuiesc sa faceti la fel.:)) In rest, bun,bun de tot!

Even though it's not the original Panettone recipe, it's still very good(and much quicker). It's full of flavors, it goes well with a glass of milk as well as with a cup of coffee,so why not give it a try?:)
I want to mention that I used more milk than I wrote, because the dough needed it.So don;t be afraid to adapt the quantities if the result is not as you would like to.

 

Ingrediente:

-350 grame faina

-10 grame drojdie proaspata

-80 grame zahar

-125 ml lapte

-1 ou

-30 grame unt

-1 plic zahar vanilat

-40 grame migdale macinate

-40 grame stafide

-60 grame rahat

-1 galbenus

-1 lingura zahar pudra

Ingredients :

-350 grams flour

-10 grams fresh yeast

-80 grams sugar

-125 ml milk

-1 egg

-30 grams butter

-1 sachet vanilla sugar

-40 grams almonds, sliced

-40 grams raisins

-60 grams Turkish delight

-1 yolk

-1 tablespoon powdered sugar

 

Intr-un castron, punem faina alba cernuta si in mijlocul ei punem drojdia faramitata impreuna cu 1 lingurita de zahar si cu 7-8 linguri de lapte caldut, amestecam cu putina faina si lasam timp de 15 minute sa dospeasca. Framantam o coca, adaugam restul de zahar, lapte, untul, oul si zaharul vanilat.Daca mai e nevoie, mai adaugam lapte. Lasam iar sa dospeasca 30 de minute. Ungem formele de briose(eu am folosit una mai mare) cu margarina si adaugam in coca stafidele, migdalele si rahatul taiat cubulete. Punem coca in forme, insa umplem doar 2/3. Lasam sa mai dospeasca 15 minute. Incalzim cuptorul la 180 de grade. Ungem briosele cu galbenus si presaram zahar pudra, apoi bagam la cuptor pentru 20-25 minute sau pana trec testul scobitorii.

Cand le scoatem din cuptor, mai pudram cu zahar,daca dorim, sau cu ciocolata rasa.Sunt foarte bune caldute,cu un pahar de lapte.

In a small bowl, we mix the yeast with a teaspoon of sugar and 7-8 tablespoons of warm milk. In a large bowl, we sift the flour and make a little hole in the middle, in which we pour the yeast mixture.  We mix with some flour and let 15 minutes to rise. We knead a dough, adding the rest of the sugar, milk, butter, egg and vanilla sugar. If necessary, add some more milk. We let rise for another 30 minutes. We butter the muffin pans(I used a big one). We add the raisins, the almonds and the Turkish delight in the dough. We put the dough in the pans, but only fill 2/3. We let rise for another 15 minutes. We heat the oven to 180C. We brush the muffins with the yolk  and sprinkle some powdered sugar on top, then put in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test.:)

When we take them out of the oven we sprinkle some more powdered sugar, if we want, or we grate chocolate.   They are very good warm, with a glass of milk.

 

 

 

Turtite de faina integrala/Wholemeal flour flatbread

Iar m-am gandit juma' de ora cum sa zic turtite in engleza..si tot nu  cred ca am nimerit-o la fix..:)) In sfarsit..pentru vorbitorii de limba romana: nu pot sa spun ca este o reteta, sunt 2 spre 3 ingrediente combinate care insa mie imi amintesc de copilarie, cand ne facea Bubu turtite calde si le mancam cu ..orice..cu fasolica,salata,unt sau pur si simplu goale.
Evident ca exista si o reteta mai complexa,cu drojdie,cu timp mai mare de asteptare,insa daca va grabiti foarte tare si vreti ceva bun bun repede alaturi de mancarea voastra,iata o sugestie!:)

This is not exactly a recipe,as it only has 2-3 ingredients and it's ready in no time,but well..it goes well warm,with food,butter or simple..delicious!

 

Practic tot ce trebuie sa facem este sa punem o cantitate de faina(eu am folosit integrala) intr-un bol, apoi putina sare,si sa adaugam apa calduta pana obtinem un aluat cu care sa lucram usor.Eu am mai adaugat si 2-3 linguri de ulei de masline,sa fie mai elastic. Apoi formam turtitele, ca niste chiftelute mai mari,si le punem pe un grill sau o tigaie de teflon incinsa si gata!:)

 

All we have to do is to put some flour in a bowl(I used wholemeal) and some salt, and then add some warm water,untile we get a nice dough. I also added some olive oil,to get an elasic dough. Then we form our little pieces of flatbread, and put them on a grill,or on a heated pan,and that's it!:)

Supa porra/Porra soup

Porra este o supa rece, mai groasa decat gaspacho, de origine spaniola. Este foaarte gustoasa, usor de facut,sanatoasa si poate fi adaptata si pentru cei ce tin post. Sa mai zic?:) A avut un succes rasunator la noi in casa, zile bune dupa ce se terminase ma mai intrebau baietii daca mai avem..:) Din cantitatea de ingrediente folosita de mine nu ies decat vreo 3 portii,asa ca daca vreti sa mancati mai mult,dublati! Pofta buna va doresc!

Porra soup is a Spanish cold soup, thicker than gaspacho.It's healthy and easy to make,as most of the recipes you cand find here.:) My boys loved it, they kept asking me about it days after it was over..:)) If you follow the exact recipe you will get about 3 portions,so if you want more,just double the quantity!

Ingrediente:

-2 rosii proaspete

-6 rosii uscate

-3 catei usturoi

-1 felie paine alba

-boia dulce, sare

-1/2 lamaie

-1 oua tare

-o cutie ton in suc natural

Ingredients :

-2 fresh tomatoes

-6 dry tomatoes

-3 cloves garlic

-1 slice white bread

-sweet paprika, salt

-1/2 lemon

-1 hardboiled egg

-a can tuna in its natural juice

Pentru a decoji rosiile- fierbem apa intr-un bol si scufundam rosiile crestate in cruce pentru 30 de secunde. Le scoatem, pe trecem prin jet de apa rece,le curatam pielita.  Apoi le taiem cubulete.

Punem la blender rosiile proaspete, pe cele uscate, usturoiul, uleiul de masline, painea(fara coaja). Amestecam tot. Adaugam condimentele dupa gust. Presam jumatatea de lamaie si adaugam si zeama .Mixam iar.

To unpeel the fresh tomatoes we boil some water and dip the tomatoes that we cut in cross for 30 seconds. We remove them from the boiling water, we pour some cold water over and then unpeel them easily. We dice them.

We put the fresh tomatoes, the dry tomatoes, the garlic, the olive oil, the slice of bread (no crust) in the blender. We mix. We add the spices, then the lemon juice. We blend well.

Pastram o ora la rece. Oul il zdrobim cu furculita si presaram deasupra in momentul servirii. Adaugam si putin ton din conserva. Un deliciu !

We keep in the fridge for an hour. We crush the egg with the fork and sprinkle some in the moment of serving. We also add some tuna from the can. Delicious!
