Mushroom and Carrots Stuffed Chicken Casserole
May 31st, 2014 in Chicken, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
This is somewhat unusual dish to cook: mushroom and carrot stuffing baked inside of chicken meat “crust”.
But I assure you, it is totally worth cooking, for romantic dinner for example. Leftovers can be easily warmed up in microwave.
By the way, juices and removing casserole from the dish are a bit easier to handle if you use springform, but casserole dish would work too.
Eggplant Roast with Vegetables
May 17th, 2014 in Appetizers & Snacks, Main Dishes, No-meat, Sides by Julia Volhina
This is nice looking dish which can be served as either a main entree, a side dish, or an appetizer.
It contains no meat, just eggplant, bell pepper, tomatoes, sour cream and cheese.
Eggplant roasted this way looks festive (and will for sure fit nicely on a holiday table), and it is also pretty easy to do.
One medium size eggplant will produce 2-3 servings.
Tortilla Rolls with Fresh Cheese and Garlic
May 3rd, 2014 in Appetizers & Snacks by Julia Volhina
Flour tortilla rolls with fresh cheese, dill and garlic will pair perfectly with beer as a snack. Or an appetizer, or both.
You can prepare them in advance and slice right before serving, just allow them to sit in fridge for at least 30 mins before serving, so tortillas can soak moisture a bit.
At home we made these with lavash bread, but it is a bit hard to find here, so I used ready to go flour tortillas and it worked good too.
As for the cheese you can use any fresh cheese which can be easily crumbled to your taste: fresh white cheese (quark), feta or queso fresco.
Chicken Rolls with Oranges
January 18th, 2014 in Chicken, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
This is interesting recipe for a holiday or romantic dinner: tender chicken rolls stuffed with oranges.
Small orange segments are easier to wrap, so try to find small oranges. It is also important that oranges are not bitter and don’t have seeds.
Chicken rolls stuffed with oranges taste great when paired with potato side(s), for example with mashed potatoes.
Ricotta Cheese Stuffed Pasta
November 30th, 2013 in Main Dishes, No-meat, Pasta by Julia Volhina
This is my first take on stuffed jumbo pasta shells, but I will must say it will not not be last: there are so many stuffings these may work nicely with.
In this recipe pasta is stuffed with five cheeses (ricotta, parmesan, provolone, mozzarella and romano), fresh parsley and egg mix.
For sauce I tried something new too: that is canned crushed tomatoes, usually I avoid using canned vegetables, but these worked well for sauce and saved me quite some time too.
Deviled Eggs with Blue Cheese
September 14th, 2013 in Appetizers & Snacks, Eggs by Julia Volhina
Blue cheese and boiled egg yolks seasoned with fresh parsley, tobasco sauce and mayo tastes a bit unusual and a bit spicy. But if you are true lover of blue cheese this recipe is definitely for you.
By the way if you like it to be more spice – use a bit more tobasco sauce, or you can skip the sauce all together otherwise.
If you would like eggs to look a bit more festive, use pastry bag with a star tip on it to arrange stuffing mix into egg halves, simple ziplock can be used too (just staff mix into it, seal it and cut one of tips off), or just a tea spoon.
Potato and Mushroom Stuffed Dumplings
March 9th, 2013 in Main Dishes, No-meat by Julia Volhina
I am maybe getting old: firstly I was putting off this recipe for far too long, secondly after I finished up with assembling these dumplings, I could feel my back.
Nevertheless here is recipe: ukrainian handmade dumplings stuffed with potato and mushroom mix.
You can boil them as soon as they are assembled, or you can freeze them up and boil right before serving. No thawing in necessary.
Already boiled dumplings can be warmed up on a skillet with a bit of butter.
