Idee pentru o cina rapida: Somon cu piure si mazare cu sos de iaurt cu usturoi / Quick dinner tip: Salmon with mashed potatoes and peas with yogurt and garlic sauce

M-am gandit ca, pe langa retetele mai mult sau mai putin complicate pe care le public pe blog sa mai adaug un nou format - Idee pentru o cina rapida, pentru acele zile cand nu prea ai chef sau timp sa stai prea mult in bucatarie.
Prima idee pentru o cina rapida este: Somon cu piure, mazare si sos de iaurt cu usturoi.
I have this idea to include on my blog, apart from the more or less complicated recipes, a new format - Quick dinner tip, for those days when you are not in the mood or don't have time to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
The first tip I have is: Salmon with mashed potatoes and peas with yogurt and garlic sauce.


Ingrediente / Ingredients:
- somon / salmon;
- cartofi / potatoes;
- mazare congelata / frozen peas;
- iaurt / yogurt;
- usturoi / garlic;
- unt / butter;
- lapte / milk;
- ulei de masline / olive oil;
- sare si piper / salt and pepper.


Mai intai am curatat cartofii, i-am taiat in cubulete mici si i-am pus la fiert. Au fost gata in aproximativ 20 minute. Apoi i-am pasat, am adaugat un cubulet de unt, lapte, sare si am amestecat bine.
Intre timp am calit somonul in putin unt, cate 4-5 minute pe fiecare parte.
Mazarea am fiert-o timp de 8 minute in apa cu sare.
Sosul l-am facut cu iaurt, 4 catei de usturoi, ulei de masline, sare si piper.
Totul a fost gata in 25 minute :)
First I pealed the potatoes, cut them into small cubes and put them in boiling water. They were ready in about 20 minutes. Then, I mashed them, added a small cue of butter, milk, salt and mixed well. 
In the meantime I cooked the salmon in some butter, 4-5 minutes on each side.
I cooked the peas in salty water for 8 minutes.
Then I made the sauce with yogurt, 4 cloves of garlin, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Everything was ready in 25 minutes :)

Burrito de curcan cu salsa / Turkey burrito and salsa

A trecut aproape o luna de cand nu am mai postat o reteta. Am luat o mica pauza si am fost in concediu in minunata Italia <3
Astazi ma intorc cu o delicioasa reteta mexicana. Sper sa va placa :)
It's been almost a month since I've last shared a recipe. I took a little break and went on holiday in beautiful Italy <3
Now I'm back with a delicious mexican dish. Hope you like it :)

Ingrediente / Ingredients:
- Carne tocata de curcan / Ground turkey;
- Branza cheddar / Cheddar cheese;
- Mozzarella / Mozarella;
- Fasole rosie / Red kidney beans;
- Rosii cherry / Chery tomatoes;
- Sos de rosii / Tomato sauce;
- Ceapa / Onion;
- Lime / Lime;
- Usturoi / Garlic;
- Ardei iute / Jalapeno;
- Tortilla / Trtilla;
- Sare si piper / Salt and pepper;
- Chimen si cimbru / cumin and thyme;
- Ulei de masline / Olive oil.


Intr-o tigaie se pune o lingura de ulei de masline si se adauga carnea tocata de curcan. Dupa ce este aproape gata se adauga ceapa si ardeiul iute si se amesteca. Se adauga apoi sosul de rosii, chimen, cimbru, sare si pier, se amesteca bine si se mai lasa pe foc inca 5-10 minute, pana se rumeneste bine carnea.

Fasolea se paseaza un pic pentru a avea consitenta unei paste, iar cele doua tipuri de branza se dau pe razuitoare.
In a skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil add the ground turkey. When ita almost done add the onion and jalapeno and stir. Then add the tomato sauce, cumin, thyme, salt and pepper and stir well. Cook for another 5-10 minutes until the meat starts to brown.
The red kidney beans must be mashed so they almost form a paste and the two types of cheese must be grated.
 


Britto se asambleaza astfel: pe o tortilla se aseaza putina branza, apoi pasta de fasole, carnea tocata, din nou branza si se impatureste. In mod normal buritto se prajeste in ulei, insa eu am preferat sa le bag la cuptor - 10 minute pe fiecare parte.

The you assemble the burrito: on a tortilla add some cheese, then the beans paste, the ground turkey and some more cheese then fold. Usually the burritos are fried but I opted to bake them for 10 minutes on each side.
 

 

 

Pentru salsa, am tocat marunt rosii cherry, ceapa, usturoi si ardei iute, am asezonat cu sare piper si am presarat ulei de masline si suc de lime. Pofta buna!
For the salse I choped the tomatoes, onion, garlic and jalapeno the seasoned with salt and pepper and aded olive oil and lime juice. Bon appetit!
