Mushrooms cream soup / Supa crema de ciuperci

It awesome..so i will make it short:
- 500gr of fresh mushrooms (i used a mix of them - they have different flavors)
- 1 onion
- olive oil
- vegetable soup or simple water
- vegetable cream. Here we have one from Alpro and one from Richs. I like this one from Richs.

E minunata..asa ca o nu o mai lungesc mult:
- 500gr ciuperci proaspete (eu am folosit un amestesc - fiecare are gustul ei)
- 1 ceapa
- ulei de masline
- supa de legume sau apa
- smanatana vegetala. Aici gasim de la Alpro si de la Richs. Mie imi place cea de la Richs.

First chop the onion and cook it in a pot with  a little bit oil until is translucent. Then add the chopped mushrooms and vegetable soup / water and let it boil for 30min. 


After that put the mushrooms into a blender and mix them until you have the texture that you want. In the end pour some liquid from the pot that you have boiled them. 
Put this composition again into a pot and add the cream, salt and pepper. Let it 5 minutes.

Meanwhile let's make some croutons. Slice some bread pour some olive oil on each on of it. We put also some Za'atar on them. Put them into the oven for 5 minutes or till the are crunchy.

I serve it with some parsley.


It was so good that my husband asked for another plate. :-)

Mai intai tocam ceapa si o calim in putin ulei. Apoi adaugam ciupercile , supa sau apa si o lasam sa fiarba 30minute.

Dupa ce ciupercile au fiert, le punem intr-un blender pana cand obtinem textura dorita. Apoi adaugam din lichidul din oala in care au fiert.

Intre timp putem sa facem niste crutoane. Felieaza o paine, stropeste feliile cu putin ulei de masline. Noi am adaugat si putin Za'atar peste ele. Puneti-le la cuptor pentru 5 minute sau pana cand devin crocante

L-am servit cu putin patrunjel.

A fost asa de bun incat sotul meu a mai cerut o portie. :-)

Homemade Hummus / Humus de casa

Probably everybody heard of Hummus, a Middle east meal that everybody eats anytime of the day. It is true. Over here you can mix hummus with what you want, and as a non-middle east person I can say that it is delicious. So i have decided to make my own hummus. The recipe it's easy , but it's very painstaking.
All you need is:
- chickpeas (fresh or frozen)
- garlic
- tahini (sesame paste)
- grounded cumin
- coriander
- salt and pepper
- juice from half a lemon
- olive oil

If you have fresh chickpeas then you have to let them soak over the night (minimum 12 hours) then you have to boil for 2-3 hours, with 2-3 cloves of garlic (don't cut it, put it whole).if you have the frozen one, you just have to put it to boil.


There are 2 things very important:
- change the water 2 times, but keep the garlics and don't add salt anymore
- after boiling don't throw the water, you will use it after.


After the chickpeas are boil (you can tell by taking one chickpea between fingers and try to smash it) you have to clean all of the chickpeas by their coat. This is very time consuming, if you have kids then you are lucky :-).
Now it's time to make the prepare the tahini. Take 1-2 spoons of tahini paste, add the lemon juice and a spoon of oil, and mix it well. You will see that it will change the color. It has to be creamy.
After all of this work is done, put them into a blender, add 3 cloves of garlic, salt, pepper, a little bit of the water that you used for boiling, the tahini that you just prepared, the cumin and coriander.
Mix them well, until you have a creamy composition. If it's needed add more water that you used for boiling.

After then you can it with mushrooms, or add on the plate some paprika.
