  • How to make Marinade for Lamb

    How to make Marinade for Lamb The best way to marinate your lamb before the holidays is first to have good quality meat and to order it 5 days before the festive reception. Lamb is always marinated 2 days before the reception, precisely to absorb all the ingredients and smells. And how to do it, in a very simple way. Follow recipe. Ingredients: simple, total time 10 min. 5 kg of lamb with bones 100 ml oil sage to taste/ fresh or dry 3-4 teaspoon of salt 4 cloves of garlic 1 sprig bay leaves Preparing the Marinade: Take out the meat from the freezer that you bought earlier, wait for it to thaw until the next day in the refrigerator. You do this 2 days before a festive reception. First, rub the meat well with oil then with sage on all sides. (If you have fresh sage, even better, I didn't have). Salt it well, because during the roasting, you will water this meat occasionally and the salt will fall on the baked potatoes or stew. Cut the garlic into thin rings and cut the pieces of meat, make small cuts and insert the garlic leaves inside the meat, do this only where there are meaty areas. If you eat ribs or some bony parts, you don't need to, just place garlic leaves over them! Stir the meat and bones well together in a pan, and at the end put 1 sprig bay leaves on the meat. Cover with nylon and seal the edges well. Put it in the fridge and let it stand for 2 days. The lamb prepared in this way is ready for baking. Look recipe here! NOTE: Before baking, mix the lamb meat once more and add a little more oil if necessary. Place in a baking dish and heat the oven. Bake at 190 °C. Put the roast in the oven on the lowest level. Cover the roast as needed if it browns. As soon as the meat is soft and has taken on color, take it out of the oven and put the potatoes in the same pan and bake until the potatoes are soft. It depends on the size of the pieces of meat, if you have smaller and thinner steaks, you will roast less. Generally, check your roasting every 30 minutes. During baking, do not open the oven for the first 20 minutes, this rule applies to anything you bake. Turn the meat and top up with water as needed. I add water only when the meat takes on color, because then the juice is tastier. I add the potatoes 1 and a half hours before the end so that they can pick up the smell and juices from baking. Baking always takes about 2–4 hours. It depends on the size of the pieces of meat, if you have smaller and thinner steaks, you will roast less. Mostly, check your roasting every 30 minutes. #food #lamb #marinade #meat #howto #make #delicious #soft #fragrant #roast #recipe #simple #blog #coffeetimelena #coffeetimewithlena Use the contact form for questions or advice.

  • Tiramisu White Cake

    Tiramisu White Cake A wonderful and juicy Tiramisu white cake with Savoyard biscuits combined with coffee, chocolate cream and mascarpone flavored with coconut. This is one of my combinations and I believe you will like it very much! Quick and easy preparation is done in just 30 minutes. Follow the recipe. Ingredients: simple, total time: 30 min. 15 serving 30×40 cm/ 3 levels 300 g of sponge cake -Ladyfingers/ Savoyardi 300 ml of strong coffee 1 Tablespoon of Marsala dolce liqueur 400 g of Mascarpone 350 g white chocolate melted + 1 Tablespoon butter 4 egg yolks 4 egg whites 100 g of sugar 1 flat Tablespoon sugar/ for egg whites 60 g of coconut flour/ for sprinkling and decoration/ Preparation: FIRST: Brew strong coffee and when it cools, add Marsala liqueur, stir and let it cool. During this time, prepare the cream. CREAM Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites in two different deep bowls. Add 100 g of sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks, mix for about 10 minutes until you get a thick and creamy mixture, and set aside. After that, put the mascarpone in another deep bowl, work it with a mixer for about 3 minutes, then add the melted white chocolate with butter and mix it into a compact mixture. With a spatula, gradually add the mixture to the egg yolk cream, mix until the mixture is uniform. Beat the separated egg whites well with a mixer for about 4 minutes, from smaller to larger speed, as soon as the snow has formed, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and mix for another 4 minutes. When the snow has become, turn off the mixer. Gradually add the cream to the egg whites with a large spoon, and at the same time mix with a mixer. The filling is then ready! PROCEDURE CAKE: After that, take the container where you will arrange the Savoyards-ladyfingers. With the help of a large spoon, coat the bottom of the container with a little cream, I have used 3 spoons. Then arrange the biscuits next to each other, sprinkle coffee with a little spoon over the biscuits (or dip them) I did this first because I don't like biscuits that are too gooey and very soft. The cream will certainly soften them by standing in the refrigerator. Make sure that the first and second layers of the biscuits- Savoyardi are in different directions. Then, with the help of a small spoon, sprinkle coconut flour over the biscuits-Savoyard, then a layer of cream I have used 4 full spoons and level it. Then coconut flour sprinkle again, then ladyfingers-Savoyard to line up- then coffee-coconut flour-then cream. Do this until you use up all the material. When you have reached the top and back of the cream that you have placed and leveled, sprinkle with a little coffee that you have left and coconut flour on top of that. You don't have to put coffee like I do, put coconut directly over the cream if you prefer. Instead of coconut, you can use grated chocolate for each level of the cake. I chose coconut because I love it. Leave the cake to cool for at least 3–4 hours to tighten well. Cut into cubes and serve. This cake is very good, very soft, and juicy! It melts in your mouth! ______________________________________ 2. RECIPE SMALL CAKE WHITE TIRAMISU 20 × 20 cm Ingredients: simple, total time: 45 min. casserole dish 20×20 cm/ 2 levels 27 pieces of sponge cake 200 ml of strong coffee/ chilled 1 Tablespoon of Marsala liqueur 3 egg yolks 80 g of sugar 3 egg whites+ 1 full tablespoon of sugar 200 g of white chocolate/ melted+ 1 Tbsp butter 300 g of mascarpone 200 ml of fresh whipped cream coconut flour or dark chocolate to taste The procedure for making this cake is the same as the first recipe, only the quantity is smaller.

  • Sweet Rolls with Jam

    Sweet Rolls with Jam Wonderful rolls with jam or cream of your choice, if you want the dough to be soft, it is important that it rests for 40 minutes. Ready in just an hour and a half. You can make these rolls without waiting for the dough, only if you are in a hurry, then make them all at once, you can also make larger rolls of 12 pieces. When you make them that way, the dough will be less soft, but I still recommend the first variant with waiting for the dough. You can also not add sugar to the dough if you don't want to. The dough will be less sweet. The rolls will be even better if they sit for a few more days. Enjoy the bites. Follow recipe. Ingredients: simple, total time 90 min, 24 rolls Dough 125 g of butter 300 g of flour 00 + for sprinkling 1 full teaspoon of baking powder/ 6 g pinch of salt 1.5 Tablespoons of sugar 200 ml of yogurt For Filling: homemade jam or some chocolate cream Nutella powdered sugar for sprinkling Preparation: Dough: Leave the butter at room temperature to soften completely. Sift the flour together with the baking powder and add the sugar. Add butter and yogurt and knead the dough first with a mixer and then with your hands. If necessary, add more flour and knead briefly until you get a soft dough that does not stick to the bowl and fingers. If you have a dough machine, you can knead the dough that way. When you've done that, wrap the dough in transparent foil and leave it in the fridge for about 40 minutes. Processing: Preheat the oven to 190 °C fan and line an oven tray with baking paper. Divide the dough into 2 parts and return half to the refrigerator. Knead the dough a little with your hands, then sprinkle flour on the surface of the worktop, roll out the dough with a rolling pin as thin as you can, so that you get a relatively regular circle. Divide into quarters and then each into 3, so that you have 12 triangles. Fill each of them with jam or a cream of your choice and roll from the wider side to the top (to the center of the circle). To prevent the jam from leaking, press the edges when you fold it for the first time. Place them in a tray and curl the edges a little. You don't have to travel long distances. Repeat the same with the other half of the dough. Bake for about 20 minutes. Leave to cool for a while and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm with coffee, tea, or a cup of milk, or breakfast.

  • The Best Cooked Beans

    The Best Cooked Beans This time, I made different beans than the other recipes I have without the addition of tomatoes, with a sprinkling of flour and garlic. You can eat beans prepared like this as a soup or add some pasta along with a good cabbage salad. It's easy to prepare because you'll be using a blender, so no crying while chopping onions :) to follow this wonderful recipe, the beans are phenomenal. Follow recipe. INGREDIENTS: simple, total time: 3h, 6 servings FOR BEANS: 4 Tablespoons of oil 3 medium onions/blended 1 teaspoon of Vegeta dry spice/ for onions 2 big carrots/ cut into rings 1 Tablespoon celery stalk/chopped or blended 1 medium bell pepper/orange or yellow, green-red, cleaned of seeds, blended/ 2 bay leaves 1 teaspoon of cumin 1 flat teaspoon of crushed hot pepper/ optional 1 cube of beef soup 500 ml water-broth 1/2 teaspoon a black pepper 400 g brown beans/ speckled 4 Carniola sausages/ cut into rings 1 large piece of dry meat/ cut into pieces/ 400 -500 g pinch of baking soda water as needed 1 Tbsp flour 3 cloves of garlic/finely chopped 50 g butter 1 green chili pepper fried in oil/ optional olive oil EVO 1 clove garlic/ finely chopped macaroni pasta/ optional as desired PREPARATION: Pre-soak the beans in water and eave them to stand until tomorrow. Throw out the water in which the beans were left, rinse under a cold stream and pour new water. Cook the beans — As soon as it boils, leave the beans to cook for another 10 minutes, then remove from the heat, throw away the water and rinse the beans again under a stream of cold water and set aside. While the beans are cooking, prepare the vegetables as described above. In a little oil in a deeper and larger pot, put the blended onion, stew for about 20 minutes, until it softens, add 1 teaspoon of Vegeta dry spice, cover the pot and stir occasionally. Do not add water, there is no need, cook on slightly moderate heat covered. After that, add the prepared: celery, parsnip and paprika, sausages, dry meat. Immediately after adding the spices, add cumin, hot pepper, bay leaf, and a little pepper, stir well and cover. Cook and stir occasionally for the next 40 minutes. The vegetables need to soften nicely. During this time, pour 500 ml of water into a small pot, put the beef cube for the broth. Cook until it boils, then turn off the heat. When the broth has boiled, pour half the broth to the beans, stir well and cover. After 20 minutes cooking, add the rest of the broth and pinch of baking soda, stir well. Cook for about 30 minutes. During cooking, add water as you need. Always make sure there is a little more liquid, because when you make a white spray it will be a little thicker. Pour the butter into a small pan and heat it on a slightly moderate heat. When the butter starts to sizzle, add the flour and stir quickly, after a minute add the chopped garlic, stir again then add the white sprinkles to the beans. Buon appetito! NOTE: For this kind of cooking, you will need a blender, so everything will be faster and easier for you. If you are frying a hot pepper, put very little olive oil, press the pepper with a fork on both sides until it takes on color, and prick it during roasting. When it is ready, pour a little olive oil over it, add chopped white onion on top of the pepper and serve. This recipe is made according to my taste, but since we are all a little different and don't like the same things, you can combine without hot pepper, instead of fried chili pepper you can combine regular roasted peppers. I like spicy things in general because it seems to be good for my health. If you like it less spicy, remove the seeds from the hot pepper and only then fry in very little oil. If you like more soupy beans, do not add flour and butter as a sauce, and put the garlic at the beginning with the meat to stew. In this recipe, there is no addition of peeled tomatoes or red ground pepper allspice. I have didn't salt these beans, because there is already a lot of salt in the dry meat and sausage, as well as in the soup cube. During cooking, I added very little baking soda and stirred, because it will soften the beans so quickly. Add water gradually, depending on how thick you like the beans. For example, I used a larger pot of 7 liters. When the beans were ready, you will see in the picture that the liquid did not reach the top, but one handful less. The beans are neither runny nor too thick. I do it all by eye. I have used a medium pot for the first cooking of the beans, so this cooking will go much faster because you don't have to pour a lot of water and wait. Just enough to cover the beans. As an additional side dish, you don't have to do it, I cooked macaroni separately, I never add it into the beans, because then the beans become gooey. So cook as much as you need for the day and that's it. You can also have boiled potatoes if you like. I chose pasta because I live here in Italy and my husband love it! #food #maindish #the #best #beans #simple #delicious #recipe #blog #coffeetimelena #coffeetimewithlena Use the contact form for questions or advice.

  • Simple Chicken Soup

    Simple Chicken Soup Many housewives spend about an hour and a half making homemade chicken soup. Nowadays, many women do not have time to cook for a long time and stand next to the stove. This is one of the recipes that I often use when I don't have time and I want to eat something cooked and warm. It is quickly finished in just 35 minutes. Since I have a freezer and I buy chicken quite regularly, I always have a bone left over with a little meat that I always use for soup, and for those reasons I use it. If you don't have it, it's not a problem, you can do without it. Follow recipe. Ingredients: simple, total time: 35 min. 4 serving 2 small carrots/ diced bones with a little chicken meat/ I have used-it is optional 1 clove garlic/crushed and with the shell 1/4 celery root/ diced 1 parsnip/ diced 1 beef soup cube 600 ml of water handful of thin soup noodles 1 full Tablespoon finely chopped celery leaf/ finely chopped Preparation: Pour water into a medium pot and add all the vegetables except for the celery leaves, if you have bones and some chicken meat, add that too. Cook for about 20 minutes. Add the beef stock cube and stir. After the spinning time, take it out the vegetables except for the garlic and chop them into cubes and put them in a deep plate. After that, separate the meat from the bones if you have any, and cut it into small pieces. Return all the vegetables and meat to the soup. Cook for another 10 minutes. Add the thin noodles, cook for about 2 minutes, then add a chopped celery leaf, turn off the heat immediately and serve the hot soup. Enjoy! NOTE: if you used bones with a little meat, after 20 minutes skim the fat from the surface of the soup with the help of a spoon, I do this regularly and my soups are never greasy. If you have leftover soup, put it in the fridge and use it in the next 2 days. As for the soup cubes, I used beef because it tastes better to me, and you can also use vegetable or chicken cubes, it's all up to taste! #food #simple #chicken #soup #fast #quick #delicious #recipe #blog #coffeetimelena #coffeetimewithlena #meat #vegetables #bones Use the contact form for questions or advice.
