Freshness, speed, peusaection: notes from a lover of taste and simplicity

When people tell me that home cooking is boring and trivial, a little fire inside lights up. Perhaps my interlocutors just don’t know that all the beauty they see in the photos on my blog is cooked simply and quickly. Believe me, it’s not hard at all and the fun of cooking and tasting it is incredible! Let’s leave the skeptics the right not to believe in miracles and cook my favorite dishes from the summer Saturday menu.

9:30. Breakfast.

Remember how exotic it sounded: make avocado mousse, add a couple of drops of lemon juice and finely chopped coriander greens… Well, now this berry ! can be safely considered a familiar element of the modern kitchen, the more so that, with the right approach, is perfectly preserved without losing its useful properties.

You need some energy in the morning, so let’s have something totally bombastic for breakfast – avocado boat!

How to make: cut a ripe avocado in half, remove the seeds, and cut the flesh as close to the edge as possible so as not to damage the skin, which acts like a bowl. Then we smear the slice with pesto sauce for more flavor and aroma , put a thin slice of lightly salted salmon, gently beat the egg and put this construction in the oven! Next, your breakfast will be handled by a professional, because his name is #LGNeoChef! Thanks to the microwave’s powerful inverter magnetron #SmartInverter , it only takes a few minutes to cook. A couple of minutes of patience – just enough time to brew a cup of aromatic, thick coffee and make toast.

Enjoy!

The tricky part is how we store them? It’s a capricious berry, you can’t look under the skin, and we need absolute freshness. Choose fruit based on need and urgency of use: cook today – then quite ripe and buttery. The skin will be rich in color, flesh is supple, you could spread it on toast with a knife There’s nothing to store, you’re welcome to eat it.

But if you’ve bought some in stock, here’s an option: open your LG Door Cooling+ fridge and look for the FreshBalanser fruit and vegetable compartment. Put the avocado gently on the shelf, without pressing the flesh. In this area, the most delicate and finicky fruits and vegetables will receive the highest level of service! The freshness zone will provide the perfect conditions for food storage.

IMPORTANT! Whole avocados can be stored for about 10 days. If you need longer, here’s another tip: Puree the avocado and spread it in an ice mold! Useful cubes can be stored in the freezer for up to 5 months.

14:00 Lunch

Well… Mom said to eat soup for lunch? Okay, let’s listen up and make the legendary French onion soup! In fact, it’s not as hard as it looks. The French tend to create a particular image on the principle of “seeming rather than being” , so often give the impression of “magic-impossible” and even unattainable that exceptional level of culinary excellence, which is commonly celebrated by stars. In fact, it’s not that complicated.

You will need: 4 onions thinly sliced , 50g butter, 1 teaspoon white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 3 cups beef broth, 1/2 cup red wine, 8 slices of toasted French bread, 1 cup grated cheese yield by weight – about 1.5 kg, a container for cooking in the microwave

And for the main course – gorgeous stuffed tomatoes: the dish is bright and juicy, just in the tone of our summer mood. And now it is so easy to cook it.

Let’s start with the ingredients: 4 medium-sized tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, 300 ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 2 cloves of garlic minced , 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon dried herbs, 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese Microwaveable weight about 1.0 kg, capacity

If everything is found in the fridge, then let’s get started! Immediately notice the special/popular menu #8 and all that’s left to do is follow a few simple steps:

1. Cut off the tops of the tomatoes to form caps and remove the seeds, being careful not to puncture the flesh or skin. Then sprinkle each tomato with salt and pepper.

2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix well.

3. Fill the tomatoes with ground beef and cover with the caps.

4. Place the stuffed tomatoes on a dish and cover with cling film. 5. Put the dish in the oven. Select the appropriate menu item, then press “Start”.

You can always substitute ground beef for chicken and/or add fresh herbs instead of dried herbs, or even use a flavorful seasoning

If we’re already familiar with the storage of fruits and vegetables, then the cheese is worth talking about separately. They require a special, reverent attitude and it is important to consider not only the temperature itself, but also the uniformity and continuity of the degree throughout. I used to store cheese on the top shelf of the fridge. Now I’m more comfortable using the shelf on the door: both neat and convenient. In addition, the technology DoorCooling + provides additional air flow through the shelves of the door and maintain a given degree – without loss of invigorating cold and valuable product! And don’t forget to set the humidity settings for the different foods in the freshness zones

What’s for dessert?? I suggest not wasting a lot of time and effort, sometimes it is enough to put a tasty point in the lunch to leave a reserve for an afternoon snack and even dinner! The days of summer are long and we have so much to fit in. I’ve made salted caramelized peanuts before, and all my friends loved it. But I made them the classic way – on the stove. Here’s an absolutely magical recipe for the microwave – 3 minutes and it’s done!

Basic Ingredients:

– Almonds – 300g

– Sugar – 130g

– Water – 2 tbsp.l.

– Vanilla or a bag of vanilla sugar

– A pinch of salt

– A pinch of cinnamon optional

How it’s made:

Add vanilla, salt, cinnamon and water to the sugar, mix everything well. Put in the microwave for 1 minute, power 600 watts.

Add nuts to the sugar mixture, put on the same power for another 2 minutes. And so several times, until the nuts, evenly coated with sugar crust. Dried nuts in sugar put on paper, let cool.

It’s a wonderful idea not only for a dessert, but also as a snack for wine and cheese, in the morning for coffee, and just to crunch between meals By the way, especially those who are interested in combining flavors can recommend replacing some of the sugar with coarse salt! Try it, it is interesting. More interesting recipes can be found here >

18:30. Dinner

Eating dinner on time and right is our main concern! I, for one, am always hungry in the evening, no matter how you slice it. Let’s try to make sure the inner wolf is full and no extra pounds are added. They recommend eating the protein and accompanying it with a green salad. And here I thought I would make a chicken kebab with a bright salad at home, it would be good. And I’ll treat myself to some crispy zucchini with yogurt sauce, for example… I’m really hooked by this recipe – it’s a real restaurant dish and so easy! Let’s start with him, I guess

Quite clearly in this video >

We make the skewers simply: we cut the meat into equal parts, we marinate it, we put on wooden skewers and we put it on the skid here is a grid, maybe you use it first time like I do and we put it into LG NeoChef oven on the grill.

A few words about marinade for meat. I make chicken shish kebab, it’s quick and delicious. In a container I put pieces of fillet, add spices and salt pepper, a little vegetable oil and lemon juice I like a little acidity , but you can do the opposite – with a scoop of honey and soy sauce, then it will be caramelized and you can serve sprinkled with sesame seeds!

In fact, feel free to try new ways, recipes, and combinations! Let the social consciousness does not block the creative streak, it is very useful for us to make the table and life bright and happy! Who says the microwave oven can only heat up cooked food?? This is the reality of 30 years ago, but now the technique is so skillful that with a single oven you can prepare dishes of restaurant level and incredible usefulness.
