  One pot baked curried vegetables with chicken

  Posted at 1:35 pm by Vero and Canito in the kitchen

  Oct 15th

  I hope you all had a great weekend! Proper autumn has already arrived here with rain and fresh days, however Saturday was still very nice and we spend day around lake 🙂

  

  

  And as we were enjoying sunny day, I have prepared one pot dish – easy when you just want to enjoy your family and be with them at the same time ❤

  

  What do you need: 

  1 cauliflower

  1 broccoli

  4 – 6 potatoes

  2 chicken breasts

  sweet paprika powder

  mild curry paste 

  250 ml sour cream 

  vegetable oil

  tomatoes, chillies

  

  

  Once you have all ingredients ready, start with oven preheating (190 degrees). Afterwards, cut cauliflower and broccoli into smaller pieces and place them into baking tray. Wash potatoes (you do not need to remove the skin), cut them into bigger chunks and place them to the baking tray as well. Cut chicken breasts into small pieces, put them into bowl and mix them with sweet paprika powder and oil. When mixed properly, place them into the baking tray and combine with vegetables. If you prefer vegetable dish, chicken is not needed and it will be delicious without it as well. At the end, combine curry paste with cream and pour it on top of chicken with vegetables. If needed, add approximately 1 cup of water into baking tray and cover with lid or aluminium foil. Place the baking tray into preheat oven and bake around 1.5 hour.

  

  Your dish is ready and you can serve together with tomatoes and fresh chillies if you fancy! 🙂

  Have a great week!

• Michelada Recipe (Spicy Mexican Beer) — Mexican Please

  Posted at 3:17 pm by Vero and Canito in the kitchen

  Oct 11th

  As I am having pretty busy day and in moments of resting I came across Michelada 🙂 Have you ever tried it? I have and I do not like it 😀 However, my husband he is absolutely in love with this Mexican drink. Basically it is beer mixed with Clamato – tomato juice combined with clam juice and my husband usually needs to order it online as we cannot find it anywhere around us. And on top of that he tends to put lot of things in, including Worcestershire sauce, hot spicy sauce and all kind of chilli powders.

  If you want to try something very typical Mexican, this is it 🙂 You might like it!!

  Have a great day ❤

  Curry rice, baked pork with rosemary sauce

  Posted at 9:08 am by Vero and Canito in the kitchen

  Oct 11th

  I cannot believe that Thursday is already here. My week has been flying. One of our colleagues has left the company and I could not believe how impact it is for us. So our days are now a bit crazy and very quick… 🙂 Sometimes it is a good thing, I definitely cannot say I am bored. So I have prepared for hungry evening rosemary baked pork with rice mixed with lentils.

  

  What do you need: 

  1 cup brown Basmati rice

  1 cup red lentils

  1 tsp curry paste

  handful of kale 

  2 kg pork shoulder

  fresh rosemary 

  cumin 

  250 ml cream 

  vegetable oil

  salt and pepper 

  

  

  The most time consuming is meat preparation so start approximately 1.5 – 2 hours ahead. Take a baking tray, add vegetable oil and season pork with grounded cumin. Place the meat into the tray, add fresh rosemary leaves together with 1 cup of water. Cover the baking tray with lid or with aluminium foil and place into the preheat oven (200 degrees). Cook approximately 1.5 – 2 hours and do not forget to add water whenever needed as you are going to use it for sauce preparation.

  When you see that the meat is getting ready, you can start with rice preparation. Take a pan and cut kale into small pieces. Place it into the pan together with red lentils. Add approximately 2 cups of water and cook until soft. When soft, add brown Basmati rice and add additionally 1.5 cup of water together with curry paste. Mix everything properly together and let it cook until everything is soft.

  To finalize your dish, take the meat out of oven and put it aside. Use the water from baking tray for sauce preparation, leave rosemary leaves in. Pour everything into blender and blend until smooth. Afterwards, add mixture into the pan, heat it up and add cream. Cook everything until combined and simmered for couple of minutes. And your dish is ready!

  

  Enjoy 🙂

  Fried “mold” cheese with homemade Chipotle mayo

  Posted at 3:59 pm by Vero and Canito in the kitchen

  Oct 9th

  Weekend is for me relaxing time and cooking for family. This time I have chosen something very simple a very “Czech”. Czech Republic has very nice “mold” cheese – something similar to well know Camembert. However over there it is called Hermelin and it has white mold. I personally prefer Hermelin than Camembert as the taste is slightly milder. In Czech Republic is very common to grill this cheese or have it deep fried in breadcrumbs 🙂

  

  What do you need for the dish: 

  “mold” type cheese (4 pieces for 4 people)

  1 can breadcrumbs 

  4 eggs

  6 tbs flour

  potatoes (I usually use 2 per person)

  1 – 2 onions

  vegetable oil

   

  What do you need for Chipotle mayo:

  1/2 cup mayo

  1 tbs water

  1 – 2 tsp lime juice

  pinch of salt

  1/2 tsp chilli powder

  1 tsp paprika powder

  1/2 Chipotle powder

  

  Firstly, preheat the oven to 190 degrees, slice potatoes and put them into the baking tray together with slices of onions and vegetable oil. Cover the baking tray with lid or with aluminium foil and put it into the preheated oven and bake it approximately 1.5 hour or until soft. When is your potatoes getting ready, you can prepare mold cheese for frying. Prepare 3 plates – one with flour, second one with whisked eggs and pinch of salt, third one with breadcrumbs. When you plates ready, put cheese from one plate to another and cover it firstly with flour, followed by egg and at the end covered with breadcrumbs. Take a frying pan, fill it with oil and heat it up. However start with frying just before are potatoes ready to eat as cheese preparation take just couple of minutes.

  In the mean time and while waiting for potatoes, prepare Chipotle mayo. I have fallen in love that Mexican mayo as it brings a bit of spicy touch of prepared food. So, firstly take a bowl and place all ingredients for mayo preparation in. However, be measured with Chipotle – you can always add more. Start with smaller amount 🙂 Afterwards, whisk everything with fork until smooth. Taste it and spice it more if you prefer and you can serve together with deep fried mold cheese and baked potatoes!

  

  

  Enjoy!

  Marble cake with Chia seeds and walnuts

  Posted at 3:19 pm by Vero and Canito in the kitchen

  Oct 3rd

  During busy week I do not have too much time to bake something, however I have found time over the weekend. This kind of cake is very typical for central and eastern Europe and Czech Republic is not any different. I really like the one my mum tends to prepare and I barely make such a good one as she does (fluffy and with lemon twist). However, I am trying 🙂

  

  What do you need: 

  2 cups self – rising flour 

  1 cup icing sugar / brown sugar 

  1 cup milk

  3 eggs

  0.5 cup vegetable oil 

  1 tbsp coffee 

  1 cup walnuts 

  1 tbsp Chia seeds

  

  I have chosen different ingredients than my mum as I am big fan of baking with Chia seeds and at the same time I did not want to prepare something very sweet. I love baking where you can use only cup and this one is not any different. Before you start, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Then, firstly whisk sugar (I always prefer brown but it is entirely up to your preference) together with egg until you have fluffy texture. Afterwards, add oil, milk Chia seeds, flour and small pieces of walnuts. Mix everything together until you have smoothly running dough. Pour half of it into baking tray (I used silicone one so I do not need any baking paper, butter or other). Then add coffee and cacao into the rest of paste and mix properly again. When done, pour the rest of it into the baking tray and place into the oven. Bake approximately 45 minutes or until ready.

  And done! Then you can serve! Usually, we sprinkle sugar on top, however at home no one is really big fan of sugar so I do not do it 🙂 Enjoy your cake with cup of tea, coffee or just like that 🙂

  Red pork pozole soup

  Posted at 3:25 pm by Vero and Canito in the kitchen

  Oct 1st

  Hello my friends!

  I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was very quick and finally, we are having back our little monkey. I went to Czech Republic to pick him up after 2 weeks with his grandparents… and he has grown. It is incredibly how many changes you can see when your little one is not with you for a while ❤ But now, we are back. And just before I went to Czech Republic I decided to prepare pork red Pozole soup – amazing Mexican soup. When I had it for the first time I was not really sure if I like it, however with time… I can eat it a lot. And as the weather is getting really “wintery”, soup is just perfect. Check as well recipe here, in Mexican Food Journal and get inspired 🙂

  

  What do you need: 

  500 g pork 

  500 g hominy

  1 onion

  1 tbsp hot chilli tomato paste

  3 garlic cloves

  fresh parsley

  4 bay leaves

  1 vegetable stock

  1 tsp cumin

  handful of cabbage

  limes

  radishes 

  vegetable oil

  Firstly, have a big pot (as this soup is really delicious 🙂 ) and add vegetable oil. Afterwards, cut pork meat into slices and finely chop onion. I got a pork medallions, however you can get the one you really like. Chicken will be good instead of pork as well. Heat up the pot with oil and add chopped onion, slices of pork together with grounded cumin, garlic cloves and bay leaves. Let is fry for couple of minutes. As I did not have  ancho chiles, I used hot chilli tomato paste and it worked perfectly. So when you fry meat for couple of minutes, add drained hominy, chilli paste and stir everything together. Afterwards, add water together with cut cabbage, vegetable stock and finely chopped parsley. Cook for approximately 45 minutes or until is the meat soft and tender. When ready – serve with fresh parsley and finely cut radishes on top. You can squeeze lime and enjoy explosion of flavours.

  

  Have a great week!
