Crispy gratin. I bring to your attention a wonderful crispy potato gratin. What could be easier is to cut potatoes, onions, and the result will be incredibly delicious, Provencal herbs will do their job. My husband said it tasted better than fried. That’s the only way I’m going to cook now. And it turns out not bad – it would also look good on a festive table.
Pork in mustard-honey sauce is a great option for a family dinner. This dish is prepared from ordinary products, and the result is a real delicacy. Sweet and spicy sauce gives pork tenderness and juiciness. It goes well with any side dish, whether it’s potatoes, beans, cereals, pasta or fresh vegetables and herbs. Cooking pork is quite simple, but the result will be great and your family will certainly like it.
The recipe for a similar dish can be found on the website pages. But mine is a little different, so I decided to post it. Very easy to prepare. Any novice cook can handle it. This is a great option for breakfast or dinner.
Dear cooks, I suggest cooking a very simple, tasty and healthy casserole. It is prepared elementary, the result is very good! A light, tender and pleasant dish that will saturate without extra calories.
Chicken in the oven-with vegetables, mushrooms, cream and cheese. I like to cook chicken in a variety of variations. I have repeatedly eaten a similar dish in a local restaurant, only it was with ham and not so tasty. I decided to cook according to my taste and added a couple of ingredients. The dish turns out to be very tender, creamy, eaten very quickly. And what’s nice is that you don’t need to wash the dishes after eating.
I love this salad and have always ordered it in Chinese restaurants, but then I thought: why not cook it myself?… I searched the Internet, borrowed a little from different sites and brought for myself the perfect preparation of this outrageously simple, but insanely delicious warm salad. By the way, even frozen broccoli does not lose its usefulness! If the percentage of vitamin loss in other vegetables during freezing is about 50%, then broccoli loses only 10%. Therefore, it can be easily eaten all year round!
Agree that the oven works wonders! And all you need is just to choose the right products and send them to bake, you will hear wonderful aromas floating around the kitchen, and the house becomes very warm and cozy.
Broccoli baked with Bechamel sauce. Cook in one go. And very quickly, if you don’t have time to cook dinner – this is what you need. A dish for a microwave oven.
For lovers of broccoli and Chinese cuisine at the same time. It is prepared very quickly. It can be used both hot and cold. As an appetizer or side dish. This will help diversify the lean menu.
