Mancare de fasole verde/ Green bean stew

Sanatoasa si gustoasa!!!
Nu ne trebuie decat:
- fasole verde ( atat proaspata cat si congelata)
- o ceapa rosie
- cativa morcovi  ( 2-3)
- sare, piper
- bulion


Healthy and tasty!
We just need:
- Green beans (as you preffer: fresh or frozen)
- A red onion
- A few carrots (2-3)
- Salt and pepper
- tomato juice



Primul pas este sa taiem ceapa, o calim putin si adaugam si morcovii taiati rondele. Lasam 2-3 minute sa caleasca putin , adaugam o cana de apa si lasam sa mai fiarba pentru inca 5 minute.

The first step is to cut the onion a little and roast it a lttle bit, then add the sliced ​​carrots into the pot. Let it roast for 2-3 minutes then add a cup of water and let it boil for another 5 minutes.

Apoi adaugam fasolea, si daca mai este necesar si apa ( pana cand apa acopera fasolea) si mai lasam la fiert. Cand totul este fiert adaugam bulionul, sarea si piperul si bagam oala la cuptor pana se rumeneste putin  ( la foc mic).

Then add the beans, and if you need more water add it (until the water covers the beans) and leave it to boil. When everything is cooked add the tomato juice, salt and pepper and put the pot in the oven until the stuffing is crunchy.

Paine cu cereale / Bread with cereals

Nu am mai facut demult o paine in casa, asa ca am fost si am cumparat tot ce imi trebuie pentru o paine pufoasa si sanatoasa :)
Avem nevoie de:
- 400 gr faina integrala de grau
- 50-75 gr faina de secara
- seminte de in, ovaz, floarea soarelui  ( sau ce mai vreti voi)
- drojdie, eu o prefer pe cea uscata
- sare
- jumatate de lingurita de miere
- 250-300 ml apa calduta


It's been a long time since I made a bread, so I went and bought everything that I need for a healthy fluffy bread :)
We need:
- 400 grams of whole wheat flour
- 50-75 grams of rye flour
- Seeds, of flax oats, sunflower ( or anything that you want)
- yeast, I prefer the dry one
- salt
- Half a teaspoon of honey
- 250-300 ml warm water

Primul pas este sa amestecam drojdia cu mierea si cu putina apa calda si lasam deoparte amestecul pana cand isi dubleaza volumul.

The first step is to mix the yeast with honey and warm water and let the mixture aside until it doubles in size.

Apoi amestecam cele 2 tipuri de faina cu semintele + drojdia dospita. Astfel framantam aluatul pentru 10 minute, pana cand acesta este nelipiciosa si moale. Il lasam acoperit, intr-un loc cald pentru aproximativ 30min- sau pana cand se dubleaza.

Then mix the 2 types of flour + yeast and the seeds. Then knead the dough for 10 minutes until it is non-sticky and soft. We cover the bol where we put the dough, and put it in a warm place for about 30min, or until it's doubled. 

Cand aluatul este dospit, formam chifle din el ( mie mi-au iesit 6 ) si le asezam intr-o tava deja tapetata cu hartie de copt. Le mai lasam la dospit inca 30minute.

When the dough is leavened, we form rolls of it (I had 6 of them ) and place them on a tray that already has baking paper. Leave them to rise for another 30min.

Inainte sa bagam paine in cuptorul incins, le ungem cu putina apa si le taiem la suprafata (ca la franzele).
Le lasam in cuptor pana se rumenesc si trec testul cu scobitoarea!!

Au iesit asa de bune si pufoaseeee!!!

Before putting the bread intp the hot oven, anoint them with water and they cut them at the surface (as in loaf).

Leave them in the oven until crisp and pass the toothpick test!

They came out so good and fluffy!

Gogosari murati ( fara fierbere) / Pickled ruffled pepper (without boiling)

Cui nu ii plac muraturile??
Aceasta reteta nu necesita fierbere, ceea ce e un lucru bun pentru ca nu isi pierd proprietatile :)

Who does not like pickles?
This recipe requires no cooking/ boiling, which is a good thing because there they keep their benefits :)

Avem nevoie de:
- gogosari, cat mai proaspeti si fara lovituri
- otet ( cam 500ml )
- sare grunjoasa
- piper boabe, mustar boabe, foi de dafin
- optional morcovi si conopida

We need:
- Peppers, as fresh and without spots
- Vinegar (about 500ml)
- Coarse salt
- Pepper seeds, mustard seeds, bay leaf
- Optional carrots and cauliflower

Se spala bine gogosarii, se taie in jumatati sau in bucati ( dupa cum preferati), se curata de seminte si ii punem intr-un bol mare. Apoi amestecam otetul cu mirodeniile si se toarna peste gogosari.  Se amesteca bine de tot , se acopera bolul , si se lasa la macerat 24 de ore. Din cand in cand mai amestecati.

Sa nu turnati apa, chiar daca vi se pare ca nu e destula zeama!!!

Wash very well the peppers, cut them into halves or pieces (as you prefer), clean the seeds from them and put them in a large bowl. Then mix the vinegar with spices and pour over the peppers. Mix everything well, cover the bowl with a napkin and leave to soak for 24 hours. From time to time stir.

Do not pour water, even if you think it's not enough juice!

Dupa cele 24 de ore putem vedea cum gogosarii nostri dragi au strans o gramada de suc. Dupa ce am sterilizat borcanele, ori in cuptor ori le fierbem bine, aranjam gogosarii, conopida si morcovii frumos in borcane. Apoi cu grija turnam sucul lasat de gogosari in borcan. Sigilam borcanele si se pun in camara ( eu nu am camara asa ca ii pastrez in frigider, alaturi de ardeii iuti :) ).

After 24 hours we can see how our dear peppers have gathered a lot of juice. After sterilized  the jars in the oven or by boiling them well, arrange the peppers, cauliflower and carrots nicely in the  jars. Then carefully pour the juice left in the jar over the peppers. Seal the jars and put them in the pantry (i don't have a pantry so I  keep them in the fridge, along with chili peppers :)).

Sunt gata in aproximativ 2 saptamani, atunci cand sunt crocanti si buni :)

 
They ready in about 2 weeks when they are  crispy and tasty:)
