Lunch Recipes
I always remember that when I was little and I had this salad at home I loved it, but I never ate the peppers, although I liked the flavor they gave the salad. Now I cannot conceive of this salad without them and of course I eat them. And you know what I enjoyed the most??? Dip a bit of bread in the broth at the end once the salad is finished, with that dressing and that little bit of egg, leftover tuna…hmm I loved it and I still love it.
My husband had the opportunity to work in Bogota, Colombia for 6 months. In this time, he fell in love with Latin American cuisines. One of his favorites is the vegetable omelette.
There are many ways to make stuffed eggplants, make them as if for lasagna, stuffed with tuna, or with chicken curry like these. The truth is that both eggplants and zucchini can be stuffed in many ways, and each one in their own way. I change the way I cook them a lot and that way I never get bored.
Thai chicken with cashew nuts is one of my favorites. Every time we go out to eat at restaurants I try to find places where they sell it. So I decided to do it. I have to say that it was not easy, I have tried thousands of recipes and finally after mixing a few recipes, I found the one that I personally love. I hope you all like it as much as I do.
Who has not dreamed of having freshly baked bread without going shopping?
Well here we have the solution. And best is that this recipe can be made as a family and everyone can participate. My girls were delighted, kneading, and waiting for the fermented bread to double its volume. Then we made ourselves a sandwich the next day to go on a picnic at the zoo.
My husband came from the supermarket the other day with some sweet potatoes and the truth is that he did not know what to do. I thought that they would be very tasty if I baked them, but since I am a lover of salads I thought that the mixture of both would be great. Reminds me of the baked potatoes at the fair (In Spain).
When my father was still alive, I remember that my friends always wanted me to invite them home to eat when my father made lasagna, because it turned out so good. Personally, I don’t like pasta very much, so I took my father’s recipe and replaced the lasagna pasta with grilled eggplant, and the bechamel sauce with a little cream. This way it was easier for me to make and it seemed a little lighter, although with so much cheese…it is a heavy food.
The other day I saw that I had some broccoli in the fridge that I had to use before I had to throw it away, and since it was a bit cold I wanted a soup. I started looking at recipes and this was the winner. The truth is that it was a success, at home they liked it a lot, an easy and quick recipe to prepare.
Beef curry is among my oldest daughter’s favorite dishes. She loves to eat it with rice. Normally we do it with brown rice to make it healthier, although it is better to eat it with white rice and even better to eat it with a rice called Pilau (basmati rice with spices) I even put caramelized onions on top and some raisins when I am cooking and thus has a sweet touch.
Butter chicken is an original Indian dish made with tomato, spices and butter. The chicken used is normally the breast or the thighs but without the bone, it is usually eaten with rice or naan bread. Lately people are very interested in Indian food, and this is not exactly a very spicy food and can be enjoyed by many people who don’t eat spicy food.
