Pasta bake from leftovers

by Tammertukku / on March 6, 2023 / in Recipes

For this dish, you can use leftover pasta, vegetables, chicken, fish or beans for protein. You can also often find a can or two of crushed tomatoes and a piece of cheese in your kitchen.

Chop the vegetables into large pieces and sauté them in a pan with a splash of oil; you can also add garlic if you have some. Add the protein (e.g., chicken, fish or beans) and fry until cooked if the product is uncooked. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the crushed tomatoes, pour a splash of water into the cans and add it to the pan. Allow to simmer for 5–10 minutes and add the cooked pasta. Mix.

Pour the whole thing into a greased baking dish and top with grated cheese. Bake in the oven at approximately 200 °C for 20–25 minutes.

You can garnish the dish with some chopped herbs at the end.

Blinis

by Tammertukku / on December 28, 2022 / in Recipes

To celebrate of the  new year, we often like to make blinis. The fillings can be made by your own preferences. I personally prefer classic flavors, such as fish roe, smoked reindeer, onion, pickled cucumber and beetroot. However, if you wish, you can use for example shrimp, grey fish or even king crab! In the vegetarian version, in addition to pickles and beets, I would serve artichoke hearts, seaweed caviar and even parmesan mousse!

 

Approx. 20 pcs

 

4 dl cream cheese

4 dl of Turkish yogurt

50 g fresh yeast

4 dl buckwheat flour

1 dl rye flour

2 teaspoons of honey

3 dl red milk

3 teaspoons of salt

3 tablespoons of butter

2 eggs

 

Put the cream cheese and yogurt in the pot, heat the mixture to about 38 degrees. Mix in yeast, buckwheat and rye flour and honey.

Let the dough rise, covered, at room temperature for an hour. You can also leave it overnight in the refrigerator.

When the dough has risen, add heated milk, salt, melted butter and egg yolks. Beat the egg whites and mix by lifting them into the mixture.

For frying, use a blini pan or a flat pan, a regular frying pan will also work. The thickness and beautiful shape characteristic of blinis is created most easily in the blini pan, where it can rise up against the edges. Serve the blinis hot with your favorite toppings.

Chocolate mousse

by Tammertukku / on December 28, 2022 / in Recipes, Uncategorized

200g of dark chocolate

4 dl cream

0.5 dl of sugar

2 dl blueberries

2 dl pecans

Powdered sugar for decoration

1 dl raspberry jam

 

Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a water bath. However, be careful not to get a drop of water into the chocolate, it will spoil the chocolate.

Beat the cream and sugar until foamy. First add half of the cream to the melted chocolate and then the remaining half by lifting. Lightly mix the mass until smooth and put it in a piping bag. Let it set in the fridge for a couple of hours.

 

Roast the nuts in a pan. Cut some of the blueberries in half. Build the portion according to the picture or use your imagination. You can also use other jams, berries or even flowers in the dish.
