Ne place tuturor sa calatorim – e un lucru clar. Ne place sa stam mult in vacanta, sa vedem cat mai multe locuri noi, sa ne relaxam si sa ne intoarcem cu energie si idei noi. Ne place sa si mancam sanatos, si, pe cat posibil, sa nu ne cheltuim toti banii la restaurante. Dar cum reusim sa le facem pe toate?
In cea mai recenta vacanta in care am fost – in Grecia – am stat doua saptamani. Nu imi imaginez cum ar fi fost posibil sa facem asta daca am fi mancat trei mese la restaurant, in fiecare zi. Ca sa putem sta atat, am facut „compromisul” (e mai mult o placere) de a gati in multe dintre zile. Ne-am bucurat si de mancarea traditionala si spiritul local, cu siguranta (cititi aici ce am vizitat si ce am mancat in Atena), dar nu am exagerat.
Mai jos gasiti o reteta foarte simplu de realizat, din ingrediente pe care le puteti gasi oriunde.
EN: We all love traveling – it’s a fact. We like spending a lot of time away from home, seeing as many new places as we can, we like relaxing and coming back with brand new energy and ideas. We like eating healthy and, when possible, without spending too much on restaurants. But how do we manage to do it?
We spent two weeks on the most recent trip we’ve made – to Greece. I don’t see how we could have done it if we ate at restaurants three times a day, every day. In order to make it possible to stay for that long, we „compromised” eating out and decided cooking at home some days (it was a pleasure, actually). We did enjoy the traditional food and local spirit (read here about what we did and eat in Athens), but we didn’t overdo it.
Here you can find a very easy to make recipe, which requires ingredients you can find anywhere.
RO: Ingrediente
- 200 ml smantana de gatit
- 100 g parmezan
- 50 g telemea
- 1 triunghi de branza topita (20 g)
- 2 rosii mari
- 1 ceapa
- 1 catel de usturoi
- putin busuioc
- 1/2 pahar de vin
- ulei de masline
- 250 grame tortellini (sau gnocchi, sau orice alt tip de paste)
EN: Ingredients
- 200 ml cream
- 100 g parmesan
- 50 g cheese
- 20 g cream cheese
- 2 big tomatoes
- 1 onion
- 1 garlic clove
- basil
- 1/2 glass on wine
- olive oil
- 250 g tortellini (or gnocchi, or any other pasta type)
Pentru inceput, se caleste ceapa intr-o tigaie cu peretii inalti, cu putin ulei de masline, dupa care se adauga si usturoiul. Se adauga rosiile decojite si taiate marunt, si se acopera cu capacul. Se amesteca din cand in cand, pana ce compozitia devine o crema (procedura similara cu prepaparea bulionului – puteti folosi direct bulion de casa sau sos de rosii).
Se amesteca smantana cu parmezanul, telemeaua rasa si branza topita, si se adauga in tigaie. Se adauga vinul, busuiocul, sare si piper dupa gust si se lasa la fiert pentru cateva minute.
In paralel, fierbeti tortellini cu putina sare si ulei.
EN: Firstly, you have to saute the onion in a large pan, with a bit of olive oil, until translucent, and then add the garlic, as well. Add the tomatoes – peeled and diced, and cover it. Simmer until it gets creamy.
Mix the parmesan, the cream, the cheese and the cream cheese and add the mixture to the pot. Add the wine and some basil, salt and pepper, and simmer for a couple of minutes.
In the mean time, boil the tortellini with some salt and oil.
Se serveste cald, cu putin parmezan. Pofta buna!
Serve warm, with a pinch of parmesan. Enjoy!
