27Jan

Very original idea for meatballs and it's so delicious! If the stuffing is too wet, add a slice of dry bread. Serve with mango chutney or 'Tkemali'- Georgian name for the cherry plum, as well as a sauce made of cherry plums. The flavor of the sauce varies between sweet and pungently tart....

A classic combo that's perfect for cool and snowy weather! Endless varieties but this is the latest I did and it was my favorite. Add a bit of cayenne pepper to give it a sharper flavor, it all depends on how spicy you like it. If you are vegetarian you can use vegetable broth instead of chicken....

A great Scandinavian dish combining tender venison with a tasty mushroom filling and a slightly tart lingonberry sauce. When cooking the rolls, fry the meat on the seam to seal it so the roll will not open. You can use frozen lingonberries also, just thaw them before cooking or they can be replaced with cranberries. Shiitake can be replaced...

Fennel can be substituted with leeks and shallots can be replaced with onions, but I prefer to cook with shallots, they are more tender and have a unique taste. The dish is very tasty - crunchy bread, with soft, slightly salty, tender and tasty filling. Easy recipe to prepare. By the way, instead of bacon, you can use more...
