What's for dinner - Monika's style chicken with leeks and mushrooms

...or at least if you call it this way it sounds more fancy :) The truth is I wasn't expecting anything this good. My Friend Kasia was preparing something very similar for her hungry husband the other day and I thought why not give it a try. Bu the end of preparing chicken I've already eaten half the stuffing. It was sooo tasty and yet so simple. 


What you need: 

0,5kg mushrooms
small leek
chicken breast
cheese
chives
any herbs you like. I used thyme, rosemary and sweet paprika

Start with chopping and frying the mushrooms and then leeks for approx 3 mins only. 

Now cut each breast longways so you have at least 4 long slices. Fry for 2 mins on dry pan before baking, this way it will not dry out. 

Put as much stuffing as you wish inbetween two breasts, season with herbs, cover with grated cheese and put in the oven for 15mins. Sprinkle with chives. Best served with rice and peas. 

Bon apetite!

What's for dinner, supper, breakfast and lunch for Kamil. Red Lentil Falafel



A long time ago, Kamil spent some time in Kuweit and ever since, he's been a huge fan of arabic cuisine. Basically, anything that has curry or cumin inside will do, which makes it so much easier to cook for him. His number one is definitely our lentil soup but yesterday I decided to go crazy and changed it into falafel. It was worth it. And with half a kilo of lentils we really enjoyed it for dinner, supper and Kamil took some for lunch to work as well.
 What you need: 
0,5kg red lentils
2 cloves of garlic
1 egg
2 onions
bunch of corriander or parsley
2tbs curry
1.5 tbs cumin
salt
3or4 tbsp cornmeal or bread crumbs

Boil lentils until soft (at this point you can blend it or leave it like this), add chopped, fried onion, combine with the rest of ingredients. Form any shape you like and fry for 2min on both sides.

Et voila!
