Kitchen 101: We All Have to Start Somewhere!

Kitchen 101: We All Have to Start Somewhere!

If I think back I know that I can recall many burned meals, under cooked crunchy noodles, and just plain old meals that tasted like they came straight from the garbage. It’s tough when your first starting out to learn how to master the kitchen. It’s even rougher when you have a family to feed and your cooking experience is limited to the directions off whatever boxed meal you have on hand. Even…

Les recettes d'une jeune européenne "Be fit Be Happy"

Everybody, tutti quanti, tout le monde en parle de cette recette par laquelle le scandale arrive. 

J’ai donc envie de dire : méfions-nous  ! De l’agro-business mondialisé qui gonfle nos hamburgers à la graisse d’os et aux étiquettes mensongères. Puisque tous montent sur leurs grands chevaux, je vais vous donner en deux mains trois mouvements et trois langues nos recettes de famille.

In Italiano : Ragù bolognese

Ingredienti per 4 porzioni : cartella di manzo 300 g pancetta fresca 150 g carota 50 g costa di sedano 50 g cipolla 50 g salsa di pomodoro 5 cucchiai vino bianco/rosso 1/2 bicchiere 200 g di latte intero

Preparazione: Si scioglie nel tegame la pancetta tagliata a dadini, e tritata . Si aggiungono le verdure ben tritate e si fanno appassire dolcemente. Si aggiunge la carne macinata e la si lascia, rimescolando sino a che “sfrigola”; si mette il 1/2 bicchiere di vino e il pomodoro allungato con un poco di brodo, e si lascia sobbollire per circa 2 ore, aggiungendo volta a volta il latte, e aggiustando di sale e pepe nero. Facoltativa ma consigliabile l’aggiunta a cottura ultimata della panna di affioramento di 1 litro di latte intero. Calorie per porzione della pasta (100 g) al ragù : 700 Calorie totali del ragù bolognese : 1350 - 350 per porzione

En français je vais vous dire la vérité : 

Les lasagnes c’est meilleur sans viande! Une fois qu’on a la pâte, il faut la cuire feuille par feuille, préparer une béchamel. Dans le plat à four on étale une couche de béchamel, une feuille de pâte, une couche de ratatouille de légumes. On recommence trois ou quatre fois et on finit par une couche de parmesan puis au four bien chaud pendant 10 minutes. 

C’est aussi simple que cela.

Grazie Nonna Renata per avermelo insegnato.

Buon appetito, bon appétit, enjoy your meal!
