Quinoa si legume sote / Quinoa and sauteed vegetables

Puteti folosi orice fel de legume doriti. Asta este versiunea mea :)
You can use any kind of vegetables that you want. This is just my version :)




Ingrediente / Ingredients:
- 1 vanata / 1 eggplant;
- 1 ardei galben / 1 yellow pepper;
- 1 ceapa / 1 onion;
- 8 rosii cherry / 8 cherry tomatoes;
- 3 catei de usturoi / 3 cloves of garlic;
- 1 cana quinoa / 1 cup quinoa;
- mozzarella rasa / grated mozzarella
- patrunjel / parsley;
- ulei de masline / olive oil;
- sare si piper / salt and pepper.





Quinoa se fierbe asemanator cu orezul. Pentru o cana de quinoa se adauga 2 cani de apa si se pun la foc mare pana cand apa da in clocot Apoi se acopera si se mai lasa la foc mic timp de 15 minute.

Vanata si ardeiul se taie cubulete iat rosiile cherry se taie pe jumatate.
Intr-o tigaie se pune o lingura de ulei de masline si se caleste timp de 2 minute ceapa tocata marunt. Se adauga apoi usturoiul pisat si legumele si si seteaza timp de 8-10 minute. Se adauga apoi rosiile si se mai soteaza inca 5 minute. La final se adaga si patrunjelul si se amesteca.
Am servit cu rondele de castravete :)

 

 

You must cook the quinoa as you would cook the rice. For one cup of quinoa add 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil on high heat and then simmer for 15 minutes.\
Cut the eggplant and pepper in small cubes and cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Sote the chopped onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 2 minutes then add the crushed garlic and the vegetables and cote for anothe 8-10 minutes. Then add the tomatoes and cook for 5 more minutes Finally add the chopped parsley and stir.

Cartofi la cuptor / Baked potatoes

Imi plac la nebunie cartofii prajiti, insa stiu cat de nesanatosi sunt, asa ca am gasit o varianta la fel de gustoasa. Sper sa o incercati si sa va placa :)
I love french fries but I know how unhealthy they are so I found another way to make them. They are delicious. Hope you try and enjoy :)


Ingrediente / Ingredients:
- cartofi / potatoes;
- ulei de masline / olive oil;
- boia dulce / sweet paprika;
- boia iute / hot paprika;
- usturoi granulat / garlic powder;
- sare / salt.

Cartofii se curata de coaja, se spala si se taie in mici wedges. Se pun la fiert timp de 10 minute.

Apoi se iau de pe foc, se strecoara si se adauga intr-un castron impreuna cu 1 lingura ulei de masine, 1 lingurita boia dulce; 1/2 lingurita boia iute, 1 lingurita usturoi granulat, 1 lingurita sare. Se amesteca bine si apoi se aseaza pe o tava acoperita cu folie de aluminiu.
Se lasa la cuptor timp de 15 minute pe fiecare parte. Eu i-am servit cu mozzarella rasa deasupra.

 

You must peel the potatoes, wash them and cut them into small wedges Then boil them for 10 minutes.
Reove them from the boiling water, add them to a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tsp of sweet paprika, 1/2 tsp hot paprika; 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp salt. Mix well and then place them on a bakin sheet covered with aluminum foil.
Bake them for 15 minutes on each side. I served with grated mozzarella.
