Chorizo is my favourite pepper sausage. This traditional Spanish sausage is made from pork. It has a strong fragrance and peppery taste which is difficult to mix up with something else. A characteristic feature of chorizo is its main seasoning: sweet smoked red pepper.

Today I would like to share with you the recipe for Mexican style kaszotto with this yummy fragrant sausage. For the first time I made one dish with two kinds of groats: unroasted buckwheat groats and barley groats. The dish was tasty, filling but not stodgy. I recommend it.

Ingredients (for 4 people)
100g of unroasted buckwheat groats
100g of barley groats
200g of chorizo
1 small onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 chili pepper
1 tin of red beans
4 tablespoons of chopped chives
1 tablespoon of butter
150ml of dry white wine
750ml of bouillon
lemon

I really like rabbit. However, I always had a problem with it. I never found a satisfying way to prepare it. I made delicious rabbit in creamy-mushroom sauce, but the warmer it gets outside, the less I want such full meals. I decided not to look for recipes, but to experiment and go wild. I had a rough idea of the dish I wanted, but mainly I was spontaneous. The experiment exceeded my expectations. The dish was delicious, aromatic and lighter than the one made by following the last recipe. It was delicious with new potatoes and dill. I recommend it.

Ingredients (for 4 people)
4 portions of rabbit
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 chili pepper
a piece of ginger
1 teaspoon of sweet paprika
half a teaspoon of cumin
2 twigs of rosemary
100ml of brandy
250ml of bouillon
2 fistfuls of dried cranberries
1 tin of chickpeas
3 tablespoons of chopped parsley
1 teaspoon of butter
1 tablespoon of olive oil
salt and pepper

I don't know if this dish should be named omelette with oyster mushrooms or oyster mushrooms with omelette, but my husband wanted the dish with this ratio. At the beginning I wanted to mix the omelette with mushrooms and then fry it. This was not a welcome proposition. Apparently, we lose the flavour of the oyster mushrooms. The next attempt was omelette with fried mushrooms on top. In this way omelette with oyster mushrooms was created. The dish is simple, but the unusual form makes it twice as delicious. If you like mushrooms, you will definitely enjoy this dish. I recommend it.

Ingredients:
250g of oyster mushrooms
3 eggs
4 tablespoons of chopped chives
3 tablespoons of 30% sweet cream
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
half a chili pepper
2 teaspoons of clarified butter
salt and pepper

I know that people eat with their eyes. Dishes should be pretty or at least look presentable, even if we make them just for ourselves. Of course, I am not talking about #iamlate situations, when we grab anything as fast as possible. I hope there won't be too many of these days, because eating whatever and as quickly as we can is not good for us.

The ingredients for today's dish are for a classic, ordinary homemade lunch: barley kasha, turkey meat and broccoli. I served it for lunch as a warm salad with pomegranate, chives and cashew nuts. This way, a boring everyday lunch changed into a nice elegant dish that even my son ate without complaining. You have to admit that this dish is perfect for lunch at work, and even packed in a jar or box it will look and taste equally amazing.

Ingredients (for 2 people)
100g of barley groats
400g of turkey meat
1 small bunch of broccoli
pomegranate
cashew nuts
chopped chives
half an onion
1 clove of garlic
chili pepper
1 teaspoon of sweet paprika powder
1 teaspoon of rosemary
1 teaspoon of thyme
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons of oil
lemon

Before the quarantine I was the only one who took care of the home pantry and fridge. Now it is me or my husband. One day there was a mix up, and we both bought peppers. So it didn't go off before we managed to eat it, I decided to make soup from them. This is how cream of pepper happened. Strong, spicy and aromatic, because of the rosemary and thyme, it suited the chilly weather outside. My children really like pea puffs, so this was added to the soup. You can also make croutons or serve it with seeds or chopped nuts.

Ingredients (for 4 people)
4 big red peppers
1 onion
1 clove of garlic
1 chili pepper
1 tablespoon of butter
11 of bouillon
250ml of 18% sweet cream
1 tin of coconut milk or 150g of ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons of chopped chives
1 teaspoon of rosemary
1 teaspoon of thyme
salt and pepper
