Hey guys! I hope you are doing well.
This evening I brought you two dishes that me (lunch) and my mother (evening) cooked.
Today I was so busy that I completely forgot to have lunch and being pretty late (14:30 ish) and feeling a bit creative a decided to make something with the ingredients available in my fridge.
The result was this:
I know it doesn't look that pretty but trust me, it's worth the time.
To make it you pan-fry some sweet peppers (the small ones) alongside with a clove of garlic, some chillies and a bit of basil (I know it sounds strange but TRUST THE PROCESS), I did it accidentally and found out that the basil releases it's taste in the oil.
To give it an extra kick I decided to add a bit of nduja calabrese, a spicy sausage made in the region of Calabria, Southern Italy.
I guess you could replace that with the interiors of a regular sausage (as nduja is tipically consumed with the skin off and then spread on a piece of bread)+ some chillies.
After all of that you add a little bit of tomato sauce (to give color) and you let that cook until your pasta is ready. Assemble the dish and voilà! It's time to eat!
This evening tho, my mother prepared something that truly is special:
Stuffed peppers.
This dish is really simple to make:
Cook the rice, let it rest.
In the mean time cook some grounded beef with a clove or two of garlic (in olive oil).
Fill the peppers with rice and beef and then put them straight in the oven for 40 minutes at a temperature of 180° (celsius) or until the rice is crispy on the top and the peppers are REALLY. REALLY. TENDER.
In the mean time pur yourself a glass of wine and enjoy all the amazing smells in the kitchen!
I hope that these two recipes will satisfy your daily needs and if you have any questions feel free to ask!
Have a nice day/night!
