Varza de Bruxelles gratinata/ Brussels Sprouts Gratin

Buna prieteni!

In incercarea mea de a gati cat mai sanatos, in acest week-end am preparat varza de Bruxelles gratinata.

Nu am fost niciodata un mare fan al acestui tip de varza, dar m-am gandit ca daca pun suficiente condimente  ingrediente putin mai consistente si daca voi gati cu "drag", o sa iasa foarte bun acest tip de mancare.

Varza de Bruxelles este o leguma foarte sanatoasa. 100 g - 43 calorii; carbohidrati - 9 g.

Hello my friends!

Trying to cook healthier, I'd made this week-end  Brussels Sprouts Gratin.

I have to confess that I've never been a big fan of Brussels Sprouts, but I thought that if I put spices, consistent ingredients and if I cook with "love", this kind of dish will taste very good.

Brussels Sprout is very healthy 100 g having only 43 calories and 9 g of carbs.

Am avut nevoie de :

- 500 g varza de Bruxelle ( eu am avut varza in conserva)

- 3 linguri ulei

- 3, 4 linguri faina

- 150 ml. lapte

- 200 g. smantana

- 200 cascaval

- 2 oua

- 2 linguri de pesmet

- condimente: sare, piper, oregano si rozmarin.

Ingredients:

- 500 g Brussels Sprouts (I had canned brussels sprouts)

- 3 spoons of oil

- 3, 4 spoons of flour 

- 150 ml. of milk

- 200 g. of cream

- 200 g of cheese (pressed cheese)

- 2 eggs

- 2 spoons of bread crumbs

- spices: salt, pepper, oregano and rosemary

Mod de preparare:

- Se spala si se scurge varza de Bruxelles de apa. Daca aveti varza cruda, se opareste si apoi se lasa la scurs.

- Intre timp punem o cratita la foc, in care adaugam 3 linguri de faina, treptat. In pasta obtinuta, adaugam treptat laptele si la urma smantana. Condimentam cu sare, piper, oregano si rozmarin, dupa gust.

- Cascavalul se da pe razatoare si se adauga oualor batute bine cu un praf de sare.

- Ungem un vas de yena cu putin ulei, adaugam varza, apoi amestecul din faina, ulei, lapte si smantana,amestecul de oua si cascaval, iar la final presaram uniform cele doua linguri cu pesmet.

Se lasa la cuptor 25- 35 de minute, pana se formeaza o crusta maronie, ca in imagine.

Pofta buna!

Method:

- We wash and drain the Brussels sprout.

- Meanwhile in a preheat pan we put the 3 spoons with oil, then the flour. After that we put gradually the milk and the cream. When we obtain a white sauce as in this image, we add the spices and take off the pan from the stove.

- we prepare the eggs like for the omelette and we add the grated cheese.

- in a greasy baking dish, we put the Brussels sprouts, then the white sauce, the mix of eggs and cheese and finally the 2 spoons of bread crumbs.

We have to let this dish, in the oven for 25- 35 minutes, until we get a golden brown crust.

Bon Appetit!!!

Chiftelute din mei / Millet balls

Buna dragelor si dragilor!
Desi nu sunt un bucatar profesionist, m-am gandit sa realizez acest blog, in care sa postez diversele mele experimente culinare. Poate in urma feed-back-ului de la cei care imi vor urmari blogul, voi realiza retete inedite, simple si delicioase.
Parerile, criticile si sfaturile sunt bine-venite :-D. 

Dat fiind faptul ca abia au trecut Sarbatorile de Iarna, o perioada in care ne-am "ghiftuit" cu mancaruri traditionale romanesti, nu prea sanatoase, m-am gandit sa va impartasesc din retetele pe care le incerc in perioada de detoxifiere a organismului.

In week-end am experimentat chiftelutele din mei  si legume.

Hello my dears!
Although I'm not a chef, I thought to create this blog in order to post my culinary experiments and maybe after your feed-back, I'll  create simple and delicious dishes.
Your opinions, critics and advice are more then welcomed. 
After Winter holidays, when we ate not so healthy food, I thought that it's a good idea to share with you the recipes that I'm trying in the detoxification period.
Last week-end I cooked millet balls with vegetables.

Pentru acestea am avut  nevoie de :                              

- 200 g mei                                                                                 

- 1 dovlecel                                                                                

- 1 ceapa                                                                                      

- 2 oua                                                                                         

- 1 ardei rosu capia                                                                    

- 1 morcov                                                                                

- 5 ciuperci champignon                                                            

- 1 patrunjel                                                                                

- 1 fir de ceapa verde                                                                 

- 2 catei de usturoi

- condimente (oregano, piper, sare,marar,frunze de patrunjel, turmeric)            
- pesmet                                                                                      

- 4 linguri de ulei.    

For millet balls we need:
-200 g millet
-1 piece of zucchini
- 1 piece of onion (medium size)
- 2 eggs
- 1 piece of pimiento
- 1 carrot
- 5 pieces of mushrooms
- 1 parnsnip
- green onion
- spices (salt, paper, oregano, parsley, dill, tumeric)
- brad crumbs
- 4 spoons of olive oil

                                              

Modalitate de preparare:

Se spala bine meiul si apoi se fierbe in apa cu sare sau Secretul Gustului. La o masura de mei se pun 2 masuri de apa. Dupa ce a fiert meiul, se lasa la racit.

Legumele mentionate mai sus se dau pe razatoare. Se adauga ouale si condimentele si treptat meiul racit.

Method:
We wash the millet, then we boil it in water with salt. 
All the vegetables must be chopped finely, then we add the eggs, spices and the cold millet.

In cazul in care pasta obtinuta este prea lichida, adaugam pesmet.

Formam chiftelutele si le asezam in tava unsa cu ulei.

Le lasam la cuptor 40 - 50 minute, depinde de cuptorul fiecaruia ( eu le-am lasat 50 minute).

If the paste is too molten, we add bread crumbs, then we give the shape to millet balls and put them in the tray/ salver greased with oil and put them in the oven for 40- 50 minutes.
The time depends on how quickly the oven rich 180 degrees Celsius. ( I let them for 50 minutes)

Au iesit delicioase :-) si nu au fost greu de realizat!
They were very simple to cook and very delicious :-)!

Pofta buna!!

Bon appétit!!
