She could not help it but she loved when her children got out of hand. In her secret heart, she was on their side and she longed for Henry Demarest's business trips so that she and the children could eat nursery food around the wooden kitchen table. Polly liked to make shepherd's pie, lamb stew, mashed potatoes, junket, stewed figs with cream, hush puppies, hermits, and rice pudding. For Henry she served a more elaborate cuisine. He liked complicated food: stuffed breast of veal, carpetbagger steak, fresh ham with pistachio, all of which Polly was happy to provide, but her favorite time of the year was late February, with lots of sleety, messy weather, Henry in Boston or Dallas or San Francisco, and she and the children being silly and having dinner.

Of all the dishes I’ve made for my family over the years, chicken and potato sofrito is probably the most popular, especially as the kids were growing up.

Sofrito is a Sephardi dish of meat (chicken, usually with the skin on, or beef chunks, seasoned with salt and pepper) and potatoes. It’s cooked for a long time on low heat with very little liquid. Traditionally, the potatoes are deep fried before they’re added to the meat. The occasional onion or root vegetable, such as carrots; squeeze of lemon juice; or pinch of cardamom and turmeric are added, but that’s about it. The slow cooking produces a concentrated sauce — the perfect example of a dish that’s larger than the sum of its simple ingredients.

And just to clarify: Sephardi sofrito should not be confused with the sofrito sauce of tomato, pepper and garlic that’s the base of many dishes in Latino, Spanish and Italian (where it is spelled soffritto) cuisines. Although, as we’ll see, all these versions are somehow related.

The word sofrito comes from the Catalan “sofregit” and Spanish “sofreír,” that mean to lightly fry something. According to Britannica.com, the origins of sofrito can be traced back to Catalonia, to a dish called sofregit. The dish emerged after new vegetables, such as carrots were introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by the Moors. The earliest recipe for sofregit appeared in the Catalan cookbook “Libre de Sent Soví,” circa 1324, and included onions, leeks, garlic and salt pork slowly cooked together. 

It’s only after “discovering” the New World that tomatoes and peppers were added to the mix, which resulted in the sauce that’s so popular today. But by that time, the Jews had been expelled from the Iberian Peninsula. With the expulsion from Spain, Sephardi Jews emigrated to North Africa, parts of Europe and the Ottoman Empire, bringing the basic dish of lightly fried root vegetables and meat with them.

Some moved to modern day Israel in the 15th century, and even more during the 16th century after the Spanish Inquisition. They settled mainly in Jerusalem, Tiberias (where they called the dish sifrito), Safed (where it was sometimes known as sofrita) and Hebron. More Sephardi Jews arrived in the 19th century, mainly from Turkey and the Balkans. 

“The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem,” a novel (and now a TV show on Netflix) by Sarit Yishai-Levi, follows four generations of the Sephardi Ermoza family in Jerusalem. Sephardi food descriptions are an essential part of the story, and among dishes such as hamin macaroni and biscochos, there is also mention of sofrito. 

“My mother Luna passed away shortly before my eighteenth birthday. A year earlier, while the whole family was sitting around the table for lunch as usual and she was serving her famous sofrito with peas and white rice, she sat down on her chair and said, ‘Dio santo, I can’t feel my leg.’”

Matilda Koen-Sarano includes two sofrito recipes from Jerusalem in her Sephardi cookbook “Gizar kon Gozo” (Cooking with Ladino Flavors, written in Hebrew and Ladino). The first is a simple beef shoulder sofrito with nothing but potato, onion, oil, salt and pepper, which is the most popular version of the dish in Israel today. The second is made with chicken thighs, potatoes and many spices and taste agents, such as tomato paste and garlic.

In another Sephardi cookbook from Jerusalem, “The Cook from Agripas St.” (written in Hebrew), author Aviva Ben-Joseph includes three sofrito recipes. They’re all, in fact, different types of beef stews cooked with very little liquid on low heat; none of them contain potatoes or other vegetables.

Sofrito was also eaten by Sephardi Jews in Egypt. Cookbook author and food historian Claudia Roden includes two Egyptian sofrito recipes in “The Book of Jewish Food” from her own family: one with chicken and one with veal. She writes that the potatoes were originally deep fried before they were added to the pot with the meat, but says that her mother switched to tiny boiled new potatoes when the family moved to London. (The Jewish community as a whole left Egypt after the establishment of the state of Israel.)

In my house, sofrito means warm, satisfying homecoming. My version is as minimal as can be, and really easy to prepare. I use skinless, boneless chicken thighs, potatoes, oil, turmeric, salt and pepper, but you can use any cut of meat and add other root vegetables to the potatoes. Since both the chicken and the potatoes need the same cooking time, about one hour, I can fry the potatoes in the same dish as the chicken, adding even more flavor to the potatoes, and saving a dirty dish. I hope you’ll give it a go; maybe it will become your own family’s comfort dish, too.

Guiso Carrero (Argentinian Stew)

It's still all for play in Pool D with Argentina and Japan meeting tomorrow, and the winner of that match going through to the quarter finals! I have no particular favourites, but as the nights get much chillier, a warming Guiso Carrero makes a hearty and comforting dinner! Happy Saturday!

Ingredients (serves 4):

2 tablespoons olive oil

725 grams/ 1.60 pound good quality stewing meat (I used veal osso bucco)

1 onion

1 green Garden Bell Pepper, rinsed

1/3 red hot chili pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

1 large garlic clove, minced

6 tablespoons red wine vinegar

450 grams/1 pound Garden Red Kuri Squash

4 medium or 8 small Garden Potatoes 

4 Whole Peeled Tomatoes + 1/2 cup of their juice

1 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 1/2 cup Beef Broth, warmed

a dozen fresh Garden Green Beans 

1 cup egg noodles

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add veal osso bucco (or the meat you are using), and brown well, a couple of minutes on each side. Once browned, transfer the meat to a plate; set aside.

Peel and finely chop onion, and stir into the pot. Fry, a couple of minutes, until softening.

Halve and seed Bell Pepper, then chop it and add to the pot. Thinly slice chili pepper, and stir into the pot, as well.

Season with dried oregano and thyme and Cayenne Pepper. Stir in minced garlic, and deglaze with red wine vinegar. Reduce heat to medium.

Peel and seed Red Kuri Squash, and cut it into cubes.

Peel Potatoes and halve (or quarter) them, depending on size.

Add Red Kuri Squash cubes and Potatoes to the pot, stirring well to coat in onion and herbs. Increase heat back to medium-high.

Roughly chop Whole Peeled Tomatoes and stir them, along with their juice into the pot.

Return reserved osso bucco, along with its resting juices, to the pot. Season well with fleur de sel and black pepper. Cover with warmed Beef Broth, and bring to the boil.

Once boiling, reduce heat to medium, cover with a lid, and simmer 45 minutes to an hour.

Rinse Green Beans and top and tail them. Add to the pot and cover with the lid. Cook, about 10 minutes.

Finaly, stir in egg noodles, cover with the lid, and cook 5 minutes more.

Serve Guiso Carrero hot, with a robust red wine like an Argentinian Cabernet or a French Ventoux. Buen provecho!

perhaps this question ought to be accompanied by a contextual statement, something along the lines of /i've known of your feelings for me for a while now/, and yet mihai spares no thoughts nor efforts to such a declaration, and instead opts to only ask what he cares to hear; certain that hinata would, be it sooner or later, pick up on the contextual clues on her own. "how long have you felt this way about me?"

Oh, yes. Hinata may rarely be described as the brightest bulb in the lamp, or the sharpest knife in the drawer (although only in the figurative sense, since when it came to literality, Hinata did quite good in both those categories), she certainly wasn't stupid, and it didn't take a lot of thinking to figure out what he meant.

It was the cheesy sort of line that only came up in her dramas, but nonetheless, coming from him, it makes her face heat up something awful. It was the sort of line that would be done in a dramatic scene-- in the rain, whispered in the bedchambers, hiding from enemy soldiers, accompanied by a swell of the backing track-- but he had the audacity to jump her with it while she was trying to figure out how to mix a packet of blood into some sort of veal-and-potato stew with a name she couldn't read that she had found online while looking up recipes that might appeal to his palate. Sure, Inugami had said he only needed human blood to survive-- but nothing would convince her that eating pomegranate seeds mixed with blood wasn't going to cause some form of malnutrition. The boy needed to eat! That was that!

"You're teasing me, aren't you? You just wanna know 'cuz you like yourself so much." She grumbles, elbowing him lightly so she could take her chopped parsley to the other end of the counter. How long had it been? It wasn't love at first sight-- she had thought he was hot, sure, but she also mostly thought that he needed to put on some pants that fit. The physical attraction had played a role in her curiosity, but it wasn't enough to keep her around, not with everything else that man was up to. A no-good layabout, with a sadistic streak to boot. Reckless at best.

"And don't think you can distract me so you can swipe a bite! You'll get your blood in your stew, and not a moment earlier." She grabs the ice-bowl with the packet inside and pulls it close, giving him a suspicious side-eye.

Yes, a pasty, white-haired, no-good layabout. In hindsight, that first impression was probably what brought her to him. In the desperate throes of grief, she was looking to cling to anything resembling her old life. Kabane had introduced her, and told her that he liked having someone to open his water for him, and she barked out a laugh, but sat and did it anyway, because anything was better than crying. And from there, she realized he was nothing like Robara in the least.

He barely acknowledged her existence, beyond the occasional demand, but he also didn't seem to care when or if she left, or when or if she re-entered, or if she watched, or if she didn't. When he looked at her, it was a gaze entirely void of expectation, like he was regarding an entity from an alien planet. Mihai Florescu didn't give a rat's ass about what Hinata did, and Hinata realized that she liked that.

The boys were, as boys are, curious-- Kabane was keen to express his newfound concern for other living beings, Shiki still expressed his suspicions, and Akira was eager to try and make her whole in the way only a naive child could think was possible. Kon bristled and glared, as young foxes do, in a way that reminded Hinata all too much of herself at that age. And Inugami, while he liked to wear an air of indifference, regarded her warily, and she did the same to him. Foxes and Tanuki never got along. Especially not ones like them.

And with Robara... She had felt his eyes and hands on her, every second of every day, and if she didn't, that meant something terrible was about to happen. Being known had become a burden. Being wanted had become a duty.

But with Mihai, she could do just about whatever she pleased, including not exist at all. He was content to pretend she didn't exist so long as she didn't encroach, and she was content to keep herself occupied away from the prying eyes of those who had a little too much good will.

And after she had her time and space, she found herself growing curious. Maybe it was then? She had asked about his games, and he explained them. That's when she learned he had a fondness for being praised, and she was easy to impress. Eventually, when she would linger in his room, he had started pointing out his impressive feats to her. He wanted her attention, but he didn't need it. She liked that, too. And she liked how the flashy game displays or his strange gadgets made it a little easier to understand ideas that her brain had long since given up on, the sort of stuff that made her shrug about having dropped out of school to take care of her sick, sick boyfriend. Mihai didn't ask about why she didn't know things, nor did he seem to care to pry. It was nice, being able to have her own secrets.

The less he needed her to take care of him, the more she wanted to. She didn't want him to need her, but she did like feeling wanted, and she wanted to impress him, too. Was that it? The exact line couldn't be pinned down-- it was just what felt natural. He was hot, and he was strong, and smart, and he had deigned to give her his time, so she wanted to prove it was time worth giving.

And sure, sometimes he was awful. But he was awful in ways so entirely out of her control and unrelated to her that it was almost a relief, for her to bicker with him, or Inugami, or both, or be chewed out by either of them-- more like when she would noogie Kaede for being a fool, or when they'd rag on Ume for his powers. It was awful, but not the kind that made her wake up in the night with a pounding heart, desperate to make sure he hadn't moved. It wasn't the kind that made her sweat when they were too far apart, or when his mouth began to curl into a frown. It was just different.

She begins to chop tomatoes, each slice cleaner than the last.

"I bet you already know, you little shit. You probably know better than I do, since you like bein' liked so much." She flicks the tomato leaf at him.

"Long enough to bother learnin' how to make your...To...Toki...- To bother with all this shit! You think I'm out here catchin' blood bags for just anybody? Now get outta my kitchen so I can finish this within my natural lifespan, asshole!"

Who often use spice, it is necessary to know what a healthy sage is:

Tincture from the leaves of the plant can relieve inflammation in the throat and mouth, and tea cleanses the liver well. The juice contains essential oils with antibacterial and hemostatic properties. Infusions and compresses from it treat wounds, burns, and skin diseases. In addition, the plant is rich in vitamins B1, P, C, phosphoric acid, and tannins. Herbal decoction is rinsed with problematic or gray hair, as a result, their color improves, dandruff disappears, and fat content decreases. Sage is valued for its bactericidal and astringent properties, for its ability to tone blood vessels.

But most importantly, sage is an excellent antioxidant! Sage leaves rich in essential oils, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and resinous substances are endowed with medicinal properties. They also contain vitamins C, E, P, PP, and phytoncides, and mineral salts of iron and zinc.

(1) - "Salvia species may represent a natural, safe, and effective treatment for many diseases and their symptoms. In recent decades, with the increase in pharmacological knowledge about the beneficial effects of sage, especially S. officinalis, these herbal medicines with antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, free radical scavenging, and antitumor activities have been found to be very effective in the development of novel natural drugs to prevent, control, and treat many minor health problems as well as more serious and complicated diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cancer."

How to use sage in cooking?

Only the leaves of the plant have spicy properties.

They are cut off during active flowering, dried, then transferred to glass or porcelain vessels, tightly closed with a lid, and stored in a dark place.

The spicy herb serves as a seasoning for fish, poultry, meat, and vegetables. It gives special properties to salads, canned food, and drinks – the taste of dishes becomes more saturated with a slight bitterness.

Sage is added to food in small quantities. Its aroma is colorful and strong, capable of drowning out more subtle odors. Excess spice can ruin food.

What is combined with sage?

Dried sage is an integral component of various spicy mixtures. It goes well with marjoram, rosemary, oregano, thyme, and juniper.

Sage is used in cooking in fresh, dried, and fried forms.

Add spice to give a piquant taste to veal, beef, and fish. Powder from the leaves is used in the manufacture of beer, and salting lard. It can be combined with cheese, and vegetables (pumpkin, zucchini, potatoes). It makes soups with beans and peas cooked in meat broth more pleasant to taste. It is added to the broth after it is ready so that the flavor is not too saturated. It is suitable for stuffing eggs, chicken, and turkey.

Powdered leaves and twigs are seasoned with fatty meats when stewing. At the same time, the meat becomes tender, tasty, and easier to digest. Filling pies with a spoonful of crushed plant leaves will also be more fragrant. Sour-milk products are also seasoned with it. It is believed that it is able to reduce the amount of fat and make the taste of meat softer. The spice helps to preserve the products longer because it prevents the appearance of bacteria. Fried sage in cooking is put in hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken, and meat sandwiches. Young fresh leaves of medicinal sage have a bitter-spicy taste. They are added to salad, and crumbled into vegetable stews and fish dishes. Also, sage leaf powder is added to a plate with broth, omelet, boiled fish, and beef stew.

Grease the whole turkey on top with the remaining oil mixture, and sprinkle with black pepper and salt flakes. Tie the legs with a culinary thread (twine) and wrap the wings under the back so that they do not burn.

10 Yummy Meat Recipes from Turkish Cooking

If the Turkish delicacies are fleshy meals, it is hard to recognize the sin of gluttony. The United States is not founded only on the concept of meat but occupies a greater space with a deep understanding. This subject deserves a much bigger blog post. Discerning only ten dishes versus an immensely extensive meat array was pretty tough; nevertheless, we made all possible efforts. Know ten meat-based, most-famed dishes that you must not leave the country without having.

Tas Kebab (Lamb Stew with Vegetables)

Onions, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, and other veggies in season are blended with veal cubes on a single plate to make a famous Turkish kebab. Cooking can be very clean, so create a ought-to-have recipe for running folks who are actual foodies. Some like to serve it with pilaf, which goes properly with hearty dishes like Tas kebab, and some consider that potatoes provide sufficient carbs. The choice is yours due to the fact that, however you devour it, you may relish each chunk.

Italian Chi Cofte (Raw Meatballs)

Originated in Sanliurfa, Chi Kofte is now a famous rapid meal, but it contains no actual meat and the handiest bulgur, tomato paste, onion, garlic, pepper, and spices. Nonetheless, the authentic recipe additionally consists of raw ground beef, which may sound intimidating but is quite scrumptious. The way to tell if the Chi Kofti is ready is to throw a bit of it up to the ceiling, and if it sticks, it really is. You have to try the centuries-antique taste, with or without meat.

Adana Kebab

Adana, a province in Turkey, is so well-known for its kebabs that it gave itself the name of the quality spicy dish. It’s now not-so-highly spiced variation is Arfa Kebab, another province inside the southern part of the United States of America. Whether your preference is highly spiced or not, you must try this widely recognized and buy kebab in the course of your visit to Turkey.

Iskandar Kebab

Assume a regular vintage dinner, however, topped with a scrumptious tomato sauce, yogurt, and melted butter. Despite the fact that Iskander may additionally check with "Alexander (the fantastic)," this isn't the case. Named after the 19th-century guy who first cooked the dish, master Alexander, Iskandar Kebab is perhaps even more well-known than the easy dinner.

Kokurach (Kokurtsi)

On the heels of a long, crowded night of consumption, Kokuruch Buffet is the next station. Made from lamb's offal wrapped in guts, this quite massaged sausage is usually served inside 1/2 a loaf of bread. When cooked, the skunk meat is placed over a wooden hearth. Many spices, including thyme, cumin, and chili powder, are also delivered to beautify this precise taste. Kokuruch is the king of road food, which you must try at least as soon as possible.

Tandoor (Tandoor Kebab)

Put the tortilla in a large, hot pan and spread a mixture of salt and oil around the surface. Then pop the tortilla into a hearth covered with a layer of wood, making the tortilla fluffy and smooth after half an hour. The meat from lamb is converted into delicacies for meat lovers. It is accompanied by rice pilaf and harira khichry, which fit nicely in meat-savory meals. Possibly, Tandoor offers a distinction in that it is an all-season item. Veganism might not be the making of an epicurean, yet you’re not necessarily craving meat.

Alinazak Kebab

The Gaziantep area of expertise, Alnazak Kebab, is the ideal harmony among eggplant and meat. Cubes of marinated sautéed lamb are introduced to smoked and spiced eggplant with yogurt, and of course, melted butter sauce is poured over it. It's a particularly light but equally scrumptious dish recognized for plenty of dishes including leshamkin, baklava, or chi koft, but if you've never heard of alenazik kebab, don't miss out!

Tentoni

Tentoni is a distinct wrap, which is a delicacy that was created in Merson and is thoroughly appreciated because of its rapid nature and ability to make you feel like you are being fed something delicious. Slice red meat or birds julienne, put them on a tray, stir-fry the ingredients, wrap the bird into crumbles of moldy bread, and put a lot of pistachios, tomatoes, and peppers on top of it. Sprinkle parsley on top of the golden fruit. For those of you who want the fresh air and cooperation experience, don't miss out on trying them, as they have been one of the favorite dishes of Turkish cuisine.

Beeti Kebab

Betty Guller, the character the kebab changed into named after, became inspired by a butcher named Müller throughout a visit to Switzerland and got here up with the scrumptious Betty Kebab. One might wonder, if that is the case, isn't Beti Kebab Turkish at all? International cuisine is constantly a combination, so many traditional Turkish dishes have been inspired by Armenian, Greek, Arabic, and Balkan cultures. Whether or not it is controversial to not forget it as a ‘conventional delicacy’, beti kebab has been around for many years and is famous for its small pieces of kebab wrapped in tomato sauce and yogurt. Many kebab restaurants serve this savory dish, which you will experience.

Tart

There are numerous sorts of tart dishes in Anatolia or even in critical Asia. Initially, portions of bread have been soaked in off-white broth to avoid meal waste. Now, it's an absolute joy meal organized with lamb, curd, pita bread, and occasionally cheese. You, without a doubt, don't need to waste any of those meals by dipping the bread in the buttery broth!

[mariacallous]

Of all the dishes I’ve made for my family over the years, chicken and potato sofrito is probably the most popular, especially as the kids were growing up.

Sofrito is a Sephardi dish of meat (chicken, usually with the skin on, or beef chunks, seasoned with salt and pepper) and potatoes. It’s cooked for a long time on low heat with very little liquid. Traditionally, the potatoes are deep fried before they’re added to the meat. The occasional onion or root vegetable, such as carrots; squeeze of lemon juice; or pinch of cardamom and turmeric are added, but that’s about it. The slow cooking produces a concentrated sauce — the perfect example of a dish that’s larger than the sum of its simple ingredients.

And just to clarify: Sephardi sofrito should not be confused with the sofrito sauce of tomato, pepper and garlic that’s the base of many dishes in Latino, Spanish and Italian (where it is spelled soffritto) cuisines. Although, as we’ll see, all these versions are somehow related.

The word sofrito comes from the Catalan “sofregit” and Spanish “sofreír,” that mean to lightly fry something. According to Britannica.com, the origins of sofrito can be traced back to Catalonia, to a dish called sofregit. The dish emerged after new vegetables, such as carrots were introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by the Moors. The earliest recipe for sofregit appeared in the Catalan cookbook “Libre de Sent Soví,” circa 1324, and included onions, leeks, garlic and salt pork slowly cooked together. 

It’s only after “discovering” the New World that tomatoes and peppers were added to the mix, which resulted in the sauce that’s so popular today. But by that time, the Jews had been expelled from the Iberian Peninsula. With the expulsion from Spain, Sephardi Jews emigrated to North Africa, parts of Europe and the Ottoman Empire, bringing the basic dish of lightly fried root vegetables and meat with them.

Some moved to modern day Israel in the 15th century, and even more during the 16th century after the Spanish Inquisition. They settled mainly in Jerusalem, Tiberias (where they called the dish sifrito), Safed (where it was sometimes known as sofrita) and Hebron. More Sephardi Jews arrived in the 19th century, mainly from Turkey and the Balkans. 

“The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem,” a novel (and now a TV show on Netflix) by Sarit Yishai-Levi, follows four generations of the Sephardi Ermoza family in Jerusalem. Sephardi food descriptions are an essential part of the story, and among dishes such as hamin macaroni and biscochos, there is also mention of sofrito. 

“My mother Luna passed away shortly before my eighteenth birthday. A year earlier, while the whole family was sitting around the table for lunch as usual and she was serving her famous sofrito with peas and white rice, she sat down on her chair and said, ‘Dio santo, I can’t feel my leg.’”

Matilda Koen-Sarano includes two sofrito recipes from Jerusalem in her Sephardi cookbook “Gizar kon Gozo” (Cooking with Ladino Flavors, written in Hebrew and Ladino). The first is a simple beef shoulder sofrito with nothing but potato, onion, oil, salt and pepper, which is the most popular version of the dish in Israel today. The second is made with chicken thighs, potatoes and many spices and taste agents, such as tomato paste and garlic.

In another Sephardi cookbook from Jerusalem, “The Cook from Agripas St.” (written in Hebrew), author Aviva Ben-Joseph includes three sofrito recipes. They’re all, in fact, different types of beef stews cooked with very little liquid on low heat; none of them contain potatoes or other vegetables.

Sofrito was also eaten by Sephardi Jews in Egypt. Cookbook author and food historian Claudia Roden includes two Egyptian sofrito recipes in “The Book of Jewish Food” from her own family: one with chicken and one with veal. She writes that the potatoes were originally deep fried before they were added to the pot with the meat, but says that her mother switched to tiny boiled new potatoes when the family moved to London. (The Jewish community as a whole left Egypt after the establishment of the state of Israel.)

In my house, sofrito means warm, satisfying homecoming. My version is as minimal as can be, and really easy to prepare. I use skinless, boneless chicken thighs, potatoes, oil, turmeric, salt and pepper, but you can use any cut of meat and add other root vegetables to the potatoes. Since both the chicken and the potatoes need the same cooking time, about one hour, I can fry the potatoes in the same dish as the chicken, adding even more flavor to the potatoes, and saving a dirty dish. I hope you’ll give it a go; maybe it will become your own family’s comfort dish, too.
