      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!

      I hope you all are having good weekend. My dad is still spending time with us and taking care of our little monkey. However, I have been already told that he will need holiday when is going to be back 😀 That little boy is apparently very tiring 😀 And as grandparents being grandparents, they have send to little Canito present which has arrived when my dad is here. It is a huge car – Tatra truck and he simply loves it!! Have you heard about Tatra trucks? The second oldest car factory in the world? Well, if not… the toy industries in Czech Republic are making those cars as toys for kids like my little one 🙂

      Well, and something about today’s dish. I prepared it already couple of weeks ago, when I was with our aupair at home alone and wanted to please her, so I have chosen Spanish dish. Apparently, very favourite chicken dish at Finca Buenvino in Andalucia in Spain.

      DSC_0296_

      What do you need: 

      1 cup of Spanish rice (rice for paella)

      750 g chicken breasts 

      olive oil 

      1 onion

      4 garlic cloves

      1 red pepper 

      1 green pepper

      6 tomatoes

      1 tsp saffron

      chicken broth or vegetable stock

      200 g chickpeas

      fresh parsley 

      sea salt and pepper

      sweet paprika powder 

      DSC_0295_

      DSC_0298_

      Firstly, cut chicken breasts into smaller pieces and season them with sweet paprika powder. Heat olive oil in pan, add chicken pieces and cook until golden on all sides. Season with salt and black pepper. In the mean time, cut onion into slices, add into the pan together with crushed garlic. Cover the pan and cook approximately 5 – 6 minutes. Afterwards, add chopped peppers and continue with cooking. Meanwhile, chop tomatoes and add them into the pan, followed with rice, saffron, chickpeas and chicken broth or water  with vegetable stock (approximately 3 cups of both).  In the mean time, preheat the oven to 180 degrees and put the pot with all ingredients in. Cook approximately 20 minutes or until done.

      And serve! 🙂 Enjoy this Spanish dish topped with fresh parsley and possibly with vegetable salad!

    • 5 ingredients: Steamed salmon with roasted basil tomatoes

      Posted at 3:08 pm by Canito's fusion
      Jul 31st

      Tuesday. For me very busy day, however positively busy as I am truly loving my job. And catching up with posts as well. I guess, this dish, I prepared when my husband’s family left back to Mexico. So it means already few weeks ago. I remember that it was on of the days when I went to gym after work and wanted to prepare something quick and delicious. And here we are 🙂 Steamed salmon.

      DSC_0289_

      What do you need: 

      750 g salmon (or amount of pieces depending on how many people eat) 

      250 g cherry tomatoes

      200 g spicy Spanish chorizo 

      1 cup of rice

      handful of fresh basil 

      vegetable oil, salt and pepper 

      DSC_0288_

      DSC_0290_

      As it is very quick, however delicious dish, you do not need that many things – 5 main ingredients for preparation. Personally, I love steamed fish or vegetables, therefore I have chosen to prepare salmon in steam cooker. If you have steam cooker, put your salmon pieces in there and set it up for 15 – 20 minutes. In the mean time, take a pot for rice preparation. Add one cup of rice into the pot, together with a few finely chopped basil leaves and teaspoon of oil. Heat it up, mix everything together and add two cups of water and cook until rice is soft. Afterwards, cut chorizo into slices and tomatoes in halves. Take another pan, add oil, chorizo and tomatoes and fry it approximately 7 minutes. At the end add fresh basil leaves. Wait until is rice and salmon done and you can serve!

      Enjoy this light, but delicious dish!

    • Last week cooking and leftovers

      Posted at 3:04 pm by Canito's fusion
      Jul 3rd

      It has been a while since I have posted really something from our kitchen and it is already July. New month has started and with new month, our Mexican family has left back to Mexico. We are back to normal and alone… which brings lot of mixed emotions. However, their leaving was very sad and to be honest, we already miss them. And the fact that we are not going to see each other any time soon. Probably next year… which sounds even worst when I see it now.

      While was our family with us, I did not cook that much, to be honest. Most of the time, we enjoyed proper Mexican cooking and I did just bits afterwards. So, I am going to share with you my bits – creamy pork liver with rice, and then beef with buk choy and rice (very nice meal at the end as I cook from leftovers).

      Pork livers with rice

      DSC_0138_

      What do you need: 

      1 kg pork livers

      1 onion

      2 garlic cloves

      vegetable broth

      2 cups of rice

      250 ml lactose free cream

      salt and pepper 

      vegetable oil

      DSC_0136_

      DSC_0137_

      Firstly, finely chop onion and add it into the pan together with vegetable oil. Heat it up and cook until slightly golden. In the mean time, cut pork livers into small pieces. When is onion slightly golden, add livers into the pan as well. Fry it until nicely brown. In the mean time, take other pot for rice preparation. Add it into the pan together with crushed garlic cloves and 3 – 4 cups of vegetable broth. Cook until done – soft and tender. Afterwards, get back to the pan with livers. Add a half of a cup of vegetable broth into the pan, season it with salt and pepper and let is simmer for couple of minutes. When are livers soft, add cream into the pan and let it simmer for approximately 10 – 15 minutes. At the end… you can serve when everything is ready, season it according to your taste if needed more. You can enjoy this nice dish with tomatoes, avocados, pickles or sprinkled with parsley 🙂

      Beef with buk choy and rice

      This dish was just mix of everything. We have done lot of BBQ while having Mexican around. However, as well many leftovers as the house is full. So, I have made rice dish with meet mixed with vegetables which I found in my fridge.

      DSC_0143_

      What do you need: 

      2 pieces of beef – I used pieces of meat which were done during BBQ

      2 – 3 buk choy 

      bigger piece of Spanish chorizo

      handful of mushrooms 

      rice – which I had from previous days when having livers

      250 g radish

      Feta cheese

      salt and pepper

      1 tbsp of Soy sauce

      vegetable oil 

      DSC_0148_

      Once you have your leftovers ready and fridge cleaned, you can take a big pan and add vegetable oil. Cut beef into slices and them into the pan. In the mean time, cut mushrooms and chorizo into smaller pieces and add them to the meat. Fry everything for couple of minutes (until are mushrooms done). Add Soy sauce into the pan and cook everything for 10 – 15 minutes (as the meat is ready. If you have fresh meat, cook until it is done). Wash buk choy in the mean time (I am big fan of this vegetable), slice it and add into the pan and fry it additional 10 minutes. Then you can just season it according to your taste and warm up rice from previous day. With this dish I have gotten rid of many leftovers in my fridge and had a delicious dinner. You can serve it with freshly cut radish sprinkled with Feta cheese.

    • Fish tikka curry

      Posted at 3:35 pm by Canito's fusion
      May 29th

      One of the dishes prepared during the weekend was fish tikka curry. I have been thinking about curry couple of days, however not that keen to prepare as our aupair does not like it 🙂 But guess what 😀 I was a bit cheeky and did not tell her that I am making curry as I called it differently, so she would at least try it. And she did 😀 And served herself twice 😀 It seems that she even does not know she likes curry and I will tell her once she will be leaving us ❤

      DSC_0090_

      What do you need: 

      4 pieces of frozen fish (I used cod) 

      2 tsp tikka curry paste

      1 onion

      3 garlic cloves

      olive oil 

      6 small potatoes

      300 g cauliflower

      1 can of chickpea

      1 cup of red lentils 

      1 1/2 cup basmati rice

      125 ml lactose free cream 

      DSC_0085_

      DSC_0087_

      Firstly, peel and finely chop onion and crush garlic cloves into the big pan. Add oil, tikka curry paste and heat it up. In the mean time, cut potatoes into smaller pieces (you do not need to peel them if you wish) and stir them into the pan. Cook everything together for approximately 15 minutes or until are potato pieces soft. Afterwards, add pieces of cauliflower, chickpeas and lentils, add 2 cups of boiling water and let it cook approximately 40 minutes. When are lentils cooked, add lactose free cream and until is sauce thicker. While is curry getting ready, prepare your rice in other pan. When everything ready, serve and enjoy! ❤
