Toasted whole-grain bread with varying kinds of cheese and tomatoes on it :)
ReplyDeleteQuick and easy? Boil spaghetti, take a tin of anchovies and heat it in its oil in a frying pan, slice a red chili, remove the seeds and fry it in the anchovies and oil - and when that's all done, add the spaghetti and stir. Serve in a bowl. Simple and amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt's got to be pasta, tuna, cherry tomatoes and grated sharp cheddar. For super lazy days, I don't even heat up the toppings, just scoff it all cold!

ReplyDeleteMy favourite easy, one-pot dinner is a Japanese soup, made from Miso paste, water with added shitake mushrooms (dried) yam-gelatine-cake (with as super texture and look), dried seaweed, a few soba noodles, chopped and fried tofu and whatever veggies need using at the bottom of the fridge. It's hearty, light, super easy and filling - what more would you want?

ReplyDeletepoteter+sellerirot+gulrøter+purre kokes i vann og buljong, moses med stavmikser når mørt, tilsett en dæsj fløte og salt+pepper - og vips! ekstra stas servert med litt sprøstekt bacon på toppen. og selvsagt litt ost i. og godt brød til å dyppe.
fint for munn og mage!
Pasta and all kind of italian food ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh. Dinner. Quick dinner. Hum. "Throw together 5 minute soup". I learnt how to make it while watching a Korean variety show. Just take some miso, some random sauces, tofu, a bit of veggies, kimchi if you've, put into pot, add water, let simmer for ten minutes. Add some noodles if you're hungry.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I make that at my parents' I get strange looks... they really don't understand where my culinary tastes come from.
My favorite dinner is pasta with a creamy tomato cheese sauce, with some garlic bread on the side. Yum!

ReplyDeletemy favourite quickie at the moment is raw seavegetable spaghetti, cooked with yummy spices till a soup kinda thing :) some onion and mushrooms in there too, and you've' got a tasty, healthy, warming, filling and exiting bowl of February goodness in 15 minutes!

ReplyDeleteTortellini lasagna!!

In all seasons I like some pasta with dried tomatoes, black olives, chicken, Parmesan cheese and basil leaves. Seasoned with olive oil and salt.
ReplyDeleteAnd if not, another dinner I often usually do is a typical sandwich of Mallorca called "pa amb oli". Consists of slices of brown bread with garlic, tomato, olive oil and sausage typical of our island (Mahon cheese, sobrasada, camaiot, ham, etc ...) This is an example: http://www.cometemallorca.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/pa-amb-oli-470x375.jpg
I simply love soup. This is so simple and delicious, especially when it's cold outside. Yummy! And sometimes, I make a simple and sweet granola.
ReplyDeleteWhen I can't think of anything else, I make whole wheat pasta and cover it with a little marinara sauce to which I've added some sauteed zucchini, tomato and red pepper.
ReplyDeleteCold chicken, cheese and avocado on rye crisp bread with salad. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThese days, I love rice and lentils with spices like cardamom and cinnamon made in the pressure cooker. Superfast.
ReplyDeleteDuring the warmer months, it's pasta with mashed avocado, fresh tomatoes and parmesan.
When I have no time at all (or if I am too lazy) it's just pasta, olive oil, parmesan.
I know I missed it, but had to add the fav dinner...mastocholi! (SP?) Brown gr beef or pork, add spaghetti sauce & honey *liberally*, boil noodles, and mix together. Better the second day! top with mozzarella or Parmesan.
ReplyDeleteWhen feeling lazy, I usually make pasta with a roasted mushrooms, miso and grinded sesame seeds sauce. Its super fast and easy and always tastes different depending on the type of mushrooms available.
ReplyDeletemy favorite easy recipe is butter spaghetti. just some good quality butter mixed with diced tomatos + tomato sauce, and toss in some spaghetti. sprinkle parmesan and voila, easy and yummy.
ReplyDeleteHomemade tomato soup! I'm also fond of canned white beans in tomato sauce, if I put a lot of curry and pepper in the sauce.

ReplyDeleteWould love a copy of your book. Thank you for the giveaway!
A grilled cheese sandwich with soup or a salad is always a winner. A veggie omelet is just as nice!
ReplyDeleteYour book looks wonderful! Thank you for the giveaway! : )
The easiest everyday dinner for me is baked chicken fillets. I usually marinade several fillets and refrigerate them. I just take out as needed. For marinades there's herby like Rosemary//garlic/black pepper/coarse salt/oil. Or spicy - turmeric powder/coriander powder/cayenne powder.
ReplyDeleteFresh pasta with tomato sauce - consisting of chopped tomatoes,dried tomatoes, garlic, some onion and fresh basil. On top I put some parmasan. In addition I often eat some bread and olive oil. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI am completely obsessed with Mushrooms on toast at the moment.
ReplyDeleteSuper simple - cook some sliced mushrooms and then mix in a dollop of creme fraise, with a little bit of cheese, and some herbs and then serve on some toast or warm french bread. YUM.
I like your pictures. Perhaps the book will be mine?
ReplyDeleteI like to make pizza buns and souffles.
Takk for inspirerende "matblogg" gjennom et helt år! Min raske favoritt er laks stekt i ovn, kokt pasta (spaghetti), som man rasper litt parmesan eller manchego over når den er ferdig. Også godt å ha oppi litt hvitløk og cherrytomater. Ferdig på 15 min :-)
ReplyDeletepea soup with feta cheese and bits of toasted bread :) it's yummy, quick and easy!

ReplyDeleteHello Astrid!
ReplyDeleteIf alone, tartines (rub garlic clove on crusty bread, spread cooked white beans, mash with fork so they stay, olive oil and black pepper on top.
If with prince charming, pasta a la putanesca (saute in olive oil, schallot, anchovies and balck olives with 2 or 3 tomatoes, while pasta cooking. assemble in pan).Red wine, of course. Bon appétit!
Anything/everything on a tortilla with cheese!
ReplyDeletePut thin slices of hot or cold smoked salmon ontop of a big slice of brown soda bread, then mix horseradish sauce+crème fraiche together and dollop it ontop. A sprinkle of salted/pickled capers and... enjoy, YUM!

filo pastry filled with spinach and cheese. Just need to stay 10' in the oven and it is delicious
ReplyDeleteI like to mash an avocado with some lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash it so that there's still some good chunks of avocado. Then spread some mayo and/or dijon mustard on really thick and crunchy whole-grain toast, top with the avocado and eat open-faced style. There's enough avocado for two pieces of toast. Makes a healthy meal with a side salad. And it only takes about five minutes!
ReplyDeleteeither steamed cauliflower with butter & breadcrumb or toast with ham, cheese, banana & lots of curry. nom nom nom!

I like a grilled cheese and apple sandwich for a quick dinner. I use whatever cheese I have around (white cheddar or chevre are my favorites) and cut up thin slices of apple, sprinkle with a little bit of cinnamon and sugar, and then fry the sandwich with a little bit of butter.
ReplyDeleteen omelett med laks, spinat og lidt parmasan kan rede en hver aftensmad.
ReplyDeleteOmelett med hva som helst som finnes i kjøleskapet - det beste er bacon, vårløk og chilli, + masse svart pepper - oppå en brødskive eller to stekt i olivenolje i stekepannen.
ReplyDeletePasta and a green veg (broccoli, asparagus, spinach...)with a little crème fraiche and some crumbled blue cheese stirred through until a creamy sauce forms. Had it for lunch today. Yum. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my quick dinner fix is a beet salad. The only thing you need to prepare for are the beets which are roasted in olive oil and oregano. Put that together with some arugula and goat cheese drizzle a dressing made of honey, lemon juice and oilve oil, and Vola!
