Chicken braised in white wine wine with leek

Ingredients:

• 6 upper thighs
• 1 leek
• 1 packet of mozzarella cheese
• 1 dl of white wine
• oil, salt, pepper

Take the skin off the chicken, and sprinkle salt and pepper on them. In a heatproof dish pre-fry them for a couple of minutes, so that they get a nice colour, and then add the wine, cover it and put it in the oven at 200 deg celsius. Meanwhile chop the leek and steam it in a pan under cover. Add salt an pepper according to taste. When the chicken is done, pile the onions on the top of them, and cover them with the sliced mozzarella. Put it back in the oven until the cheese fries.

A Sunday lunch for my friends

All of it disappeared, I hope that was the sign of success.

The menu:

Mozzarella and tomatoes with basil
Mustard and rosemary chicken rolls
Rapsberry-coffee cream

Mozzarella and tomatoes with basil
Cut the tomatoes in pieces and mix it with the mozzarella balls and olives. Mix some basil leaves with olive oil and pour it on the tomatoes. Add some freshly ground pepper and salt.

Mustard and rosemary chicken rolls





Ingredients:

• chicken breast
• rosemary
• mustard
• garlic
• salt, pepper
• yarn to hold the chiken together

Cut the chicken breast in halves. Its better if you marinate it the night before, all you need to do is to mix the mustard with the smashed garlic and slush the chicken with it. The next day put fresh rosemary leaves on the slice of chicken and roll it up. Fix it with the yarn. Pre-fry the pieces in a pan and then put them in the oven, covered with aluminium foil, at 200 degrees celsius until its done. You can sprinkle some cheese on it in the end and wait until it goes golden.

Rapsberry-coffee cream

 
















Ingredients:

• mascarpone
• rapsberry (can be frozen)
• instant coffee
• milk
• caster sugar
• ladyfingers
• rum or rum flavour

Dissolve the coffee in a little hot water. Mix the mascarpone with the coffee, the sugar, and the rum or rum flavour. Modify the amounts according to taste. Dissolve some coffee in the milk and add some rum or flavour. Dip the ladyfingers in the milk for a couple of seconds and then put them on the bottom of the cup. Put some of the rapsberry on the ladyfingers and then comes part of the cream. Then rapsberry again and the rest of the cream. Let it rest at a cool place for some time.

Zucchini stew with sweetcorn

It's quick, light and easy. I ate without any garnish, but rice is perfect with it. You can leave the sausage out, then you get an even lighter and fully vegetarian dish.

Ingredients:

• a couple of zucchinis
• canned sweet corn
• chorizo sausage, chopped
• sour cream
• spring onion
• salt, pepper, seasoning (according to taste)

Fry the onions in a bit of oil and add the pieces of sausage, let it fry for a bit. Cut the zucchinis in half, then in half again and then cut them into pieces of 1 cm. Add them to the onions. Add salt and cover it. When its soft, add the corn, the seasoning and the sour cream and cook them for some time more.

Soda bread with mushrooms

The original recipe is Rachel Allen's soda bread recipe, plus I added some tomato sauce, mushrooms, onions and grated cheese. The outcome is a filling, vegetarian and quick lunch.

Apple pancakes with maple syrup

The amount of the ingredients depends on how many pancakes we want to make. Actually this is the usual pancake dough (the hungarian version), but I whipped the egg whites separately and added them in the end, which made the dough so light and spumy. 4 smaller apples, 40 dkg of flour, 3 eggs, this amount is enough for at least 4 people.

Ingredients:

• flour
• eggs
• 1 packet of vanilin sugar
• sparkling water or milk
• apples
• ground cinnamon
• skin of 1 lemon

Grate the apples and squeeze most of its juice out of it (and of course we filter the juice and drink it afterwards..:) ). Separate the 3 eggs. We will whip the whites in the end. Add a bit of milk or water to the yolks, the vanilin sugar and the apples. Also add a bit of cinnamon and mix the whole thing. Add the flour in smaller amounts, and if it gets too stiff then add water. In the end beat the egg whites and mix it with the dough. It fries quickly in the pan and its very delicious. To eat maple syrup with it is almost an obligation, thats what makes it so autumny :)

Chocolate cupcakes with ginger and chili

Last week I had a dream about me baking this exact type of muffin so I thought why not try it, so here is the dream muffin. :)

• one packet of baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 10 dkg of sugar

Measure the flour, add the cocoa, the baking powder and the chili powder, and the chopped chocolate too and mix it. Finally mix the wet part with the dry part. Beat the egg white up and add it to the dough. It takes about 25 minutes at 160-170 deg to get ready.
