Courgette pancake

That's an easy, healthy and delicious meal. Good idea for dinner, lunch or supper. Tzatziki matches it very much. Recipe taken from my uncle, greetings and thanks for him!

Ingredients (for around 15 pancakes):
  • 1 courgette
  • 1/2 of marrow
  • spices: salt, pepper, chilli, cayenne pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1-1,5 glasses of milk
  • 2-2,5 glasses of flour

Optional ingredients:
  • onion

Preparation:
  1. Wash the courgette and the marrow. 
  2. Peel (optional).
  3. Grate both vegs on a grater, put in a big bowl. 
  4. Sprinkle with salt. Leave for a few minutes so that water comes out.
  5. Pour the water away by squeezing vegs or using a sieve. It has to be done precisely.
  6. Sprinkle the vegs with spices.
  7. Add chopped onion (optional)
  8. Add milk, stir. Add flour - one glass after another, stiring all the time. The consistency of the dough needs to be very thick.
  9. Take a frying pan* grease it, start preheating. Put 1-3 tablespoons of the dough on the frying pan and distribute on the entire surface, so that the pancake is thin.
  10. Fry for 2-3 minutes on a low heat (each side).
  11. Other vegs, Tzatziki, etc. matches that pancakes, so feel free to take your favourite ones.
  12. Bon Appetit! :)

* I've got a frying pan that doesn't require any greasing before frying. It does have its price, but believe me, it is a real miracle. Nothing burns, your meal will be fried in a colour you let it be, not burnt brown. I do recommend it. If you are willing to buy it - one, middle size, will be enough and you'll probably stop using the rest of your frying pans :).

Hungarian Sausages

The air smells of holidays, at last the barbecue season is officially open, because the weather is so pleasant and warm during late afternoons and evening. But after many BBQs there are always some leftovers and there is a doubt - what to do with them? Well, if you don't enjoy reheating them, this is a mouth-watering solution.
Obviously, this is not only an idea for BBQ's leftovers. ;)
Recipe comes from my friend's mum. Enormous thanks for her for the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 tablespoons of oil
  • 1/2-1 chopped onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic cut info slices
  • sausages cut into slices
  • tomato puree
  • (sweet&)spicy sauce
  • ketchup
  • 1 pepper - cut into stripes or small parts
Optional ingredients:
  • courgette - cut into slices
  • sweetcorn
  • red (kidney) beans
  • tomato wedges

Preparation:

  1. Put the oil on the frying pan. Put garlic, onion and sausages, fry (on an average heat) till their colour get light gold. Turn the heat off.
  2. Take a tumbler. Put 5 tablespoons of tomato puree inside. Add 2 tablespoons of water. Stir. Pour it on the frying pan. 
  3. Starting from 3 tablespoons of each - add the sauce and ketchup. Stir. Turn on the heat, on the lowest power.
  4. Add optional ingredients and the pepper. Stir.
  5. Taste it and decide which flavour of the 3 ingredients (tomato puree, ketchup, sauce) you want to predominate. Of course it might be one of them, two or all of them. Add one tablespoon after another, trying it by taking a clean spoon every time you try it. While adding more tomato puree - it is essential to stir it with some water first.
  6. This meal might be eaten on its own or, for instance, with bread.
  7. Bon Appetit!
