Fried Chicken Liver with Onions
February 16th, 2013 in Chicken, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
Dusting chicken liver with flour and frying it with onions is perhaps easiest way to cook it.
Step of soaking live in milk can be skipped; it is optional, but it helps to reduce bitter taste liver may have.
The best side dish for this one, to my opinion, is plain boiled potato or potato puree.

This is a recipe for tender mussels steamed with shallots, garlic and fresh greens in dry white wine and butter sauce. It will work great for a romantic dinner.
Use good white wine you would drink yourself for this recipe to achieve best results. And serve remaining of the wine along with mussels later.
Steamed mussels go great with toast garlic bread or a baguette with garlic.
Boiled Snow Crab Legs with Old Bay Seasoning
January 19th, 2013 in Fish, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
If you saw frozen snow crab legs in store and wanted to try them, but wasn’t sure how to cook them – this recipe is for you.
It is easy and fast idea for lunch or dinner, assuming the crab legs are sold pre-cooked (have somewhat orange-red color) and only need to be warmed up and seasoned with some spaces to taste.
You can cook raw crab legs like this also, it may require a bit more time for cooking.
Pairs well with warm Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce.
Turkey Breast Roast with Garlic, Paprika and Black Pepper
January 12th, 2013 in Main Dishes, Turkey by Julia Volhina
I think this is last recipe using turkey meat for me for a while. I got a little carried away with it around Thanksgiving.
It is quite easy, but takes about 4.5 hours of time: first to soak turkey breast in salted water, and then to cook it in cooling down oven. So make sure you leave yourself enough of time.
This turkey breast roast tastes perfect served warm with a side dish or cooled down in salad or on sandwich.
Turkey Pie with Grated Potatoes
December 29th, 2012 in Main Dishes, Turkey by Julia Volhina
It took me a bit of time to master this recipe: somehow I was either getting too much potatoes (honestly I have to get myself a cooking scale for Christmass) or potatoes I used were too juicy, so it was hard to get meat stuffing in the middle of the pie without sinking it into the batter.
Apparently this issue was easy to fix with draining redundant potato and onion juices using colander (ofc getting the right amount of potatoes helped a bit too).
Using of springform pan is convenient for this recipe however, if you don’t have one, any other baking pan of similar size will work fine.
Roast Turkey Breast with Onions and Herbs
December 15th, 2012 in Main Dishes, Turkey by Julia Volhina
Roast turkey can be served warm with a side dish as a main course, in salad or on sandwich if cooled down.
I used Herbs of Provence mix for this recipe, it includes thyme, marjoram and rosemary. You can use the same or just mix the same herbs to your taste.
Adjust cooking time for breast piece smaller or bigger than mentioned in the recipe.
Juices produced while cooking can be used to prepare sauce for the meat. You can either pour them over the meat or cook them together with flour to thicken them and then chop with hand blender.
