Stewed Okra / Mancare de bame

For a long time i want to cook okras. This was my first time when i cooked them, and it was very good :)
All you need is:
- okras ( i didn't found fresh so i bought some frozen ones)
- half an onion
- 3-4 tomatoes
-salt, pepper

First saute the onion, then add the okras + tomatoes. Let it boil a little bit, then add the salt and pepper.Put the lid and simmer, until the vegetables have softened.

We ate it with pickels :-)

De mult timp vreau sa gatesc bame. Acum am gatit pentru prima data,si a iesit foarte bun :-)

Ai nevoie de:

- bame (nu am gasit proaspete asa ca am cumparat congelate)

- jumatate de ceapa

- 3-4 rosii

- sare piper

Mai intai caleste ceapa apoi adauga bamele si rosile. Trebuie lasate la fiert cateva minute apoi adauga sarea si piperul. Pune capacul si amesteca, pana cand bamele s-au inmuiat.

Later edit:

If you buy fresh ones, wash the okras and remove the stem from the ends then boil them in hot water with a little bit of vinegar until they change the color.

Daca cumparati bame proaspete, spalati-le si inlaturati tulpina, apoi se fierbeti-le in apa fiarta cu un pic de otet pana cand ii schimba culoarea.

Vegan skewers / Frigarui vegane

A few days ago was Israel Independence day...so we enjoy it by making a BBQ.
On our skewers we put:
- red peppers
- onion
- zucchini
- eggplant
- mushrooms
- olive oil
- basil, oregao, salt, thyme

Optional:
- carrots
- melon
- cherry tomatoes


Acum cateva zile a fost Ziua Nationala a Israelului...asa a ne-am bucurat facand un gratar.
Frigaruile noastre contineau:
- ardei rosu
- ceapa
- dovlecei
- vinete
- ciuperci
- ulei de masline
- busuioc, oregano, sare si cimbru

Optional:
- morcovi
- pepene galben
- rosii cherry

Chop them carefully and then put them into a bowl with the oil and spices. Then let them into the fridge for 1/1 and a half hour. I made a skewer only with onion...we love baked onion :-)

Le-am taiat cu grija si apoi le-am pus intr-un bol impreuna cu uleiul si condimntele. Le-am lasat la frigider pentru o ora/ o ora si jumatate. Am facut o frigaruie numi cu ceapa...iubim ceapa gatita :-)

Meanwhile you can prepare your BBQ.After that you know what you have to do :-P

We ate them with pickles and some hummus.

Intre timp puteti pregati gratarul. Apoi stiti ce aveti de facut :-P.

Noi le-am mancat cu muraturi si humus.

Salsa sauce / Sos Salsa

Who doesn't like salsa sauce?? It works with everything...from snacks to green bean stew :-)
We need only:
- tomatoes ( try to buy some juicy ones)
- chilli peppers
- a water onion (or normal will work as well)
- 3-4 cloves of garlic
- a teaspoon of sugar
- a teaspoon of salt
- a half of teaspoon of ground cumin

Optional:
- a red pepper
- some leafs of cilantro or parsley

Cui nu ii place sosul de salsa?? Merge mancat cu orice: de la snacks pana la macare de fasole verde :-)
Avem nevoie de:
- rosii (incercati sa le cumparati cat mai zemoase)
- ardei iuti
- o ceapa rosie ( sau una normala merge la fel de bine)
- 3-4 catei de usturoi
- o lingurita de zahar
- o lingurita de sare
- jumatate de lingurita de cumin

Optional:
- un ardei rosu
- cate frunze de coriandru sau patrunjel

First..put water to boil..when it boils..turn off the stove an put into the pot the tomatoes. Leave them 10 minutes there. After the 10 minutes you can peel then easily.

Second you chop a litlle bit the rest of the vegetables and put them into a blender.

Prima parte..puneti la fiert apa..cand fierbe stingeti aragazul si puneti rosii inauntru. Lasati-le 10 minute in oala. Dupa cele 10 minute puteti sa le decojiti foarte usor.

A doua parte...este sa taieti restul legumelor si sa le puneti in blender.

You can easily see the layers in the previous photo. You can make the compozition as smooth as you want. We like it as smooth as possible, others like to feel the pieces of vegetables.

Se pot vedea usor straturile de legume in poza precedenta. Puteti face compozitia cat vreti de fina. Noua ne place pe cat se poate de fina, altora le place sa simta bucatile de legume.

And...voila :-) ( i forgot to put the parsley in the beginning..I added after the picture was made)

Si...voila..:-) ( am uitat sa adaug patrunjelul la inceput, asa ca l-am adaugat dupa ce am facut poza)

Carrots Snack / Snack din morcovi

Fast and easy...perfect for a movie or a football match :-)
What you need:
- carrots
- olive oil
- salt and pepper

Optional:
- potatoes
- basilic or other spicies

Cut the carrots lengthwise and then soak in aromatic olive oil ( oil + salt + pepper). Overheat the oven at 200 degrees and put the tray with the carrots in it. I let them until they were brownish.

Repede si simplu...perfect pt un film sau un meci de fotbal :-)

Ce avem nevoie:

- morcovi

- ulei de masline

- sare si piper

Optional:

- cartofi

- busuioc sau alte condimente

Se taie morcovul pe lungime si se inmoaie in uleiul aromat ( ulei + sare + piper). Se incinge cuptorul la 200 de grade si apoi se introduce tava cu morcovii. Eu i-am lasat pana cand s-au rumenit.
