Homemade pesto

The contents of my kitchen is buried in boxes, matting, carefully described and I’m not going to unpack it, unless it’s in Berlin ( it took me three days to hide the apartment into boxes). The only things left were blender, a plate and a knife. We had to eat something, so Ive started to think about something easy and fun, and I reminded myself about a recipe for pesto from Agata’s blog, which does not require too many dishes and equipments. Anne, who helped us to sort clothes, mostly by laughing at them (so far I had no heart to get rid of my jacket purchased 3 years ago in China or shirt from Bolivia), accepted we’ve started the preparations. Ok, it sounds like a big cooking. The whole truth is that one was standing in front of the blender, and the other was watching the first one.

Smoked salmon and avocado sandwich

Most girls got some beautiful flower from their boyfriends and I got a cold. I’m so sick that I can hardly feel the taste. I need something stronger in the morning and a sandwich with a chilli paste works for me.

Homemade peanut butter

The simplest spread you can do, the only things you need are peanuts, vanilla stick, food processor and patience. If you have a raw nuts roast it in the oven (175C) until nicely golden, then cool it and shred in a food processor or blender. Add a chopped vanilla stick or two and shred, shred, shred until it will be nicely watery.

Sweet cottage cheese with raisins

We’ve made it sour, so we need a sweet version as well. I’m a sweet tooth, so, to be honest, it’s an obligation. Mix a polish style cottage cheese with an egg yolk, add a tablespoon of sugar and a handful of raisins. Blend everything well and form little balls. It’s cute and tasty.

Cottage cheese with chives

Today I’ll make it very easy. Or maybe not really, because to prepare this breakfast you will need to buy a real polish cottage cheese. It’s definitely worth an effort. And when you’ll mix it with chives, sour cream, salt and pepper, you will understand why polish people are crazy for polish food.

Egg spread

Memories of the past, of these crazy events organized by my parents, when the whole table was covered with delicious stuff like herrings, different kinds of salads, or eggs in all possible forms. As a youngster I wasn’t admitted to the table and to have fun with guests, but during the preparations I always managed to grab a bit from the table. Egg spread has always been a unique dish for me, perfect for breakfast, and it makes me feel like home.

Tuna spread

Today is the first day of a “spread it over your toast” project. During the next 7 days I’ll prepare different kinds of pastes, which can be imposed on bread, or even combined with noodles (today’s one will do great). Well, we’ll see what will come up, any tips are welcome! :) 

Today I’d like to present the tuna spread, which is my personal favorite.
