Tobulieji falafeliai/Perfect falafels
Tiesą pasakius, apie falafelius sužinojau atsikrausčiusi gyventi į Ispaniją. Tikrai taip, anksčiau nebuvau jų nei akyse mačiusi, nei žinojau, kas tai per valgis. Pasirodo Ispanijoje falafeliai yra pakankamai populiarūs. Falafelių suktinuką galima įsigyti beveik kiekvienoje turkiškoje kebabinėje. Pirmą kartą paragavusi falafelių, nelabai supratau kas tai, kol draugai nepaaiškino, kad tai avinžirnių kotletukai. O jie tikrai…

Greitai pagaminamas, gardus ir sotus užkandis – štai tokį sumuštinį gigantą gausite gamindami pagal mano receptą. Sumuštinis tikrai paįvairins Jūsų pietų ar vaišių stalą. Rūkytos žuvies sumuštinio idėja šovė į galvą tuomet, kai turėjau likusios skumbrės ir šiek tiek raugintų agurkėlių. Derinys gavosi tikrai šaunus, tad ir Jums rekomenduoju. Nesvarbu ar užklups netikėti svečiai, ar…
Kroketai su šonine/Ham croquettes
Tiesiog dievinuuuu šiuos kroketukus! Vienas iš tokių užkandžių, kurio paragavęs negali sustoti, galima valgyt ir valgyt, kol ištuštės lėkštė. Jeigu ruošiatės gaminti šiuos kroketus svečiams, patariu iš anksto – kepkite kiek didesnę porciją, nes nuo stalo jie išnyksta tikrai greitai. Žinoma, ne visi kroketų mėgėjai, bet nemėgstančių ispaniškų kroketų dar nesu sutikusi. Taip taip, šis…
