Chicken and Lamb Kebab

Thu, 11 Jun 2015 16:01:02 +0000

Everyone who visits Turkey says that the kebab there is nothing like the ones we eat in Spain, so at this point I'm not entirely sure what to call this. In any case, what I can promise you is that it's delicious and the preparation couldn't be simpler. We discovered this recipe thanks to the YouTube channel Recetas de Cocina, which is always worth a visit. Give these kebabs a try and let us know how it goes.

Crispy Chicken Burger

Wed, 03 Sep 2014 17:22:09 +0000

Believe it or not: we’re back! After months (literally) with our blog in some kind of hibernation, we’re back at it and hoping that this time our willpower won’t fade so fast. We’re returning with that recipe that’s been sitting at the top of the blog for so many days now, the one we know plenty of you have been dying to make: the Crispy Chicken. For lovers (or at least, frequenters) of fast food joints, the Crispy Chicken is a Burger King staple, a chicken burger with a spicy kick. But here we’re sharing the upgraded version. Meaning, the one we make with an actual chicken fillet and not some suspicious mystery patty pretending to be one.

Curry Chicken with Rice

Tue, 07 May 2013 13:41:47 +0000

After a crushing victory by four votes, against the two for the Crispy Chicken (irony mode on), today we bring you a delicious recipe we’ve been making for a long time and that we’ve been in love with ever since we first tried it.

What do we need?

One chicken breast
One cup of rice
Half an onion
200 ml (3/4 cup) heavy cream
Curry powder to taste

Ají de Gallina

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 11:30:22 +0000

This dish is a classic of Peruvian cuisine. I’m not claiming this recipe is the authentic or one true version — it’s simply the one my mother and her family have made all their lives. They brought this recipe with them from Peru and honestly, I love it. I’ve tried ají de gallina at several Peruvian restaurants and the recipe isn’t even the same in all of them. So, as the saying goes, “to each their own,” and here I’m offering you a finger-licking-good Peruvian ají de gallina.

Cabbage Rolls

I know, we’ve gone ages without posting (as Palstelera would say), but we have an excuse: we were studying because we’re cultured people XD. That’s why today we’re going to introduce you to two new recipes so you can see that even though we’ve set the page aside a bit, we’re always ready and thinking about what new recipes we can share with you.

What do we need?

4 cabbage leaves

Whole kitchen in their Savory Proposal for October invites us to prepare a French classic, “Coq au Vin”. Or in other words, chicken in wine — you can tell I learned French at school :p.

What do we need?

(serves 2)

2 chicken thighs
1 large onion
2 carrots
3 slices of bacon
2 cloves of garlic
50 g (1.75 oz) mushrooms
2 glasses of wine
4 glasses of chicken stock

Chicken and Pineapple Salad

Mon, 06 Aug 2012 23:47:44 +0000

A summer wouldn’t really be summer without this dish. In my family this salad has been around for as long as I can remember, and it feels like an old friend — you might go a while without seeing it, but just thinking about it brings a smile to your face and makes you want to enjoy its company. The first time I offered it to Cesmm, he frowned at the whole pineapple thing, but once he got past those first doubts he became yet another addict of this delicious salad.

Chicken Sandwich

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 09:21:13 +0000

Sometimes dinner at home — and I’m sure this has happened to all of you — boils down to “I’ll just settle for a yogurt”… It always happens to me the same way: I think “okay, a yogurt… and what else.” You peek into the fridge and the freezer and the gates of heaven swing open. You’ve got a quick rescue! That’s how this recipe was born — only within reach of the great chefs :p

Chicken Pitas

Sun, 15 Jul 2012 15:37:35 +0000

After a two-week delay and a move in between, we’re kicking off this new adventure in the world of food and new technologies. Since I’m a person who loves to eat, I’ll mostly be in charge of the simple recipes — the kind that save you when dinnertime rolls around. And one of those recipes I love most is the chicken pita. Simple and really tasty.

What do we need?

```
 1 chicken breast
```

 1/2 red bell pepper (if you have green, throw that in too)

```
 1/2 onion
```
```
 3 lettuce leaves
```
```
 Salt and pepper
```

How do we make it?

Slice the bell pepper and onion into julienne strips, and cut the chicken into strips.
