The Triple P: Pork, Peas and Poached Eggs // Porco, Ervilhas e Ovos Escalfados


Slightly caramelized meat and garlic with a pineapple tang; fresh, plain peas; sweet and salty eggs. Simple flavours sometimes go a long way.

Who would need anything else?

Ingredients:

Pork steak
Bacon
3 garlic cloves, chopped
Sacana Hot Sauce (pineapple flavour)

Olive oil
1 onion
Tomato pulp
1 egg per person
1 dessert spoon curry powder
A pinch of salt

Green peas
Salt


Start by boiling the peas in salted water.

Pour some olive oil in a large saucepan. Add a chopped onion and cook over medium heat, until it softens. Add tomato pulp, a pinch of salt and the curry powder. Stir occasionally. Finally, add the eggs and let them cook for a few minutes.


In a frying pan, start cooking the bacon at the same time you start cooking the onion. A few minutes later add the steak, cut in little pieces, and the garlic.

Serve every element separately, so all the colors and flavors only mix in your mouth, not on the plate.


Enjoy.

Carne e alho ligeiramente caramelizados com um toque de ananás; ervilhas frescas e simples; ovos salgados e doces. Por vezes mais valem sabores simples.

Quem precisaria de mais alguma coisa?

Ingredientes:

Bife de porco
Bacon
3 dentes de alho, picados
Molho Piri-Piri de ananás Sacana

Azeite
1 cebola
Polpa de tomate
1 ovo por pessoa
1 colher de sobremesa de caril
Uma pitada de sal

Ervilhas
Sal


Comecem por cozer as ervilhas em água salgada.

Deitem azeite num tacho grande. Adicionem uma cebola picada e cozinhem em lume médio, até amolecer. Juntem polpa de tomate, uma pitada de sal e o caril. Mexam de vez em quando. Finalmente, adicionem os ovos e deixem cozinhar durante alguns minutos.

Numa frigideira, comecem a cozinhar o bacon ao mesmo tempo que começarem a cozinhar a cebola. Alguns minutos depois adicionem o bife cortado em pedaços pequenos, e o alho.

Sirvam todos os elementos separadamente, de modo a que todas as cores e todos os sabores se misturem na vossa boca e não no prato.

Bom apetite.

Cabbage Salad with Bacon and Poached Egg // Salada de Couve com Bacon e Ovo Escalfado


And... I'm back from my holidays. With a healthier suntan and new ideas on the shelves. 

I'm really curious about what you have been cooking or baking lately. There are so many unread posts in my Feedly you wouldn't believe (food-related and others). I'll try to write this post quickly, so I can get updated. 

Today I'm suggesting a cabbage salad. Cabbage is so healthy and tasty, there's no reason why we should have it only in "wintery" dishes. With just a few touches, it is possible to turn this simple salad into a favourite dish at home. 

I like it by itself, but you can serve it as a side dish to grilled meat.

Ingredients:

1 white cabbage
1 purple cabbage
1 egg per person
1 tablespoon butter
half an onion
2 garlic cloves
3 drops of Paladin's Sacana hot sauce with lemon
water

Open the egg into a ramekin. Heat a saucepan with water and when it is hot pour the egg into it. Let it poach for 4 minutes. Take it out and reserve.

Thinkly slice the cabbage.

Place a frying pan with the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, stir for a minute, and then add the chopped garlic cloves. Finally, add the cabbage, stir for 30 seconds, and remove from the heat.

Pour the lemon piri-piri hot sauce and stir. 

Serve it on a plate or a ramekin. Sprinkle with bacon. I used 2 spoons of Hormel's Real bacon bits. The smoky flavour adds a nice touch to the buttery lemony cabbage. Finally, top it with the poached egg.

Enjoy!
E... estou de regresso das minhas férias. Com um bronzeado mais saudável e novas ideias nas prateleiras.

E estou mesmo curiosa em relação ao que têm cozinhado ultimamente. Há tantos posts não lidos no meu Feedly que não iam acreditar (relacionados com a comida e outros). Vou tntar escrever este post depressa, para me pôr a par de tudo.

Hoje vou sugerir uma salada de couve. A couve é tão saudável e saborosa que não há razão para a ingerirmos apenas em pratos "invernosos". Com apenas uns pequenos toques, é possível tornar esta salada simples num dos pratos preferidos lá em casa.

Gosto dela só assim, mas podem servi-la como acompanhamento a carne grelhada.

Ingredientes:

1 couve branca
1 couve roxa
1 ovo por pessoa
1 colher de sopa de manteiga
meia cebola
2 dentes de alho
3 gotas de molho piri-piri com limão Sacana da Paladin
água

Abram o ovo para um ramekin. Aqueçam uma caçarola com água e quando estiver quente deitem o ovo. Escalfem o ovo durante 4 minutos. Tirem-no e reservem.

Cortem a couve finamente.


Coloquem uma frigideira com a manteiga em lume médio. Juntem a cebola picada, mexam durante 1 minuto, e juntem os dentes de alho picados. Finalmente, juntem a couve, mexam durante 30 segundos, e tirem do lume.


Deitem o molho piri-piri de limão e mexam.


Sirvam num prato ou num ramekin. Salpiquem com o bacon. Usei 2 colheres de pedaços de bacon da Hormel. O sabor fumado acrescenta um toque agradável à couve amanteigada e cítrica. Finalmente, coloquem o ovo escalfado no topo.


Bom apetite!

Poached eggs in tomato sauce

This is one of those recipes that remind me of lazy days in the summer. My mom is lucky to do it with eggs from my grandmother's chickens and with tomatoes from her garden. As I live far away, I buy all the ingredients at the local supermarket. The taste is a bit different, of course, but the result is a big, juicy memory for prize.


Slice 2 garlic cloves and 2 onions and cook them in a hot pot with olive oil until they become soft. 

Then add the tomatoes. You can add the quantity you desire, depending on the number of people you are serving. I usually use about 6 tomatoes for 2. But don't forget: use only really ripe tomatoes

Keep cooking for a couple of minutes, add a pinch of salt, and then open the number of eggs you want to serve into the pot, so you can poach them - 1 per person is usually enough. Let it cook for about 15 minutes and this savoury dish without meat is ready to eat!

I always serve it with french fries or chips, which I dip in the sauce or use to carry it to my mouth. It's also great with bread slices or toasts!

Enjoy!
