Yes, it has been a long time.
And yes, I have cooked in the mean time.
And yes, I have had a restaurant lunch (the usual salad, lol).
Anyway, good morning, girls!
The past week I was busy organising the choir at work. Actually, I was busy searching for, recruiting and dragging people to come to the first rehearsal (yesterday evening). I am dead tired.
But, it was satisfactory. I have enjoyed talking to people, and a few people have actually come and joined the choir.
AND, I have auditioned for a part in a newest Panto (please check here what it is), for a part of a young beautiful woman, lol...
There are going to be more auditions, as not that many people have shown the interest. So, although I was goooood, I am not sure I'll get the role.
As for the cooking...
I had the best intention to cook nice stew on Sunday evening (for my Monday lunch), but it got burnt.
So, I took all the burned vegetables and scraped the black part and ate it on Monday. There. No way was I going to cook another lunch.
What I did:
Meal 1:
1 onion, chopped
4 yellow carrots, cut in half smaller pieces
300gr beef, cut it in small pieces
3 cloves garlic, chopped (super small)
2 leeks, washed and chopped in 2 cm thick pieces
1 spoon oil (sunflower)
1 orange carrot, cut in julienne stripes (very, very thin ones)
Sautee onion and 1 chopped clove garlic in oil.
Add yellow carrots, continue stirring.
Add beef, and stir.
Cover it so that it cooks in it's own juice for a while (low heat) - 10 min.
Add 0.5l water and let it cook slowly.
Let 1/2 water evaporate, then add the orange carrot and leeks. Let it cook for another 10 minutes and just before turning the heat off, add garlic.
Hey, don't forget salt and pepper!
Mmmm delicious!
Meal 2:
300gr minced calf meat
3 peppers, deseeded only (do not half them)
1 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped (tiny)
20gr rice
1 egg
1 spoon of oil (any)
salt, pepper
Sautee onion until it gets nice and glazy.
Turn off the heat, and let the onions cool down. Add garlic, meat and egg. Mix it all well (wash your hands before you mix it - if you do it by hand).
Salt and pepper!
Take 1/3 of mixture and to that part add rice. Mix well!
Fill peppers with the mixture.
Put the peppers in a smallish pan, add 1l water and let it cook for at least 45 minutes. Add some tomato sauce, and let it cook for another 10 minutes.
This you can eat by itself, or make mashed potatoes.
Meal 3:
Take the part of that meat above (2/3) and make hamburgers.
Add oil to the pan and bake them.
What I did yesterday, I cooked the stuffed peppers at the same time, so I'll have my meal for tomorrow.
Anyway, I added some corn flour, as the mixture got a bit too watery.
Put it on the low heat, as the meat needs to be baked a bit longer (you don't want any trouble on your stomach!)
Kusjes!
