My Life on this planet.

I fancied another gratin with potatoes in a cheese sauce but with other ingredients then before. Ingredients Potatoes Broccoli Onion Red pepper Red beetroot Herbs Cheese Milk Preparation First, cut the potatoes in small pieces and boil until almost ready. Then cut the beetroot, onion and red pepper in pieces while split the broccoli. Do some butter at the bottom of a backing plate so it is less likely the food will stick to the bottom and add the pieces of vegetables (indeed, I didn't cook the vegetables in advance as they will in the oven without coming out the oven overcooked) as well as the boiled potatoes (the latter can already steam the other vegetables a little). Potatoes, red pepper, beetroot, broccoli and onion Now prepare the cheese sauce using cheese and milk. Add herbs according to taste (e.g. some pepper and dried thyme and basil but also cayenne pepper). Pour the sauce over the vegetables and add some grated cheese on top before adding in the o...

I prepared something nice today, and although it is not difficult, it is not for people who are very hungry or in a hurry because the preparations take some time. What do we need? Ingredients Potatoes Red pepper Courgette Chicory Peanuts Cheese Milk (Olive) oil Salt, pepper and herbs Preparations This time, the pictures speak for themselves although with some comments. Mix the pieces of (uncooked) red pepper, courgette, chicory and baked peanuts in a pan that can stand the heat of an oven. I also covered the pan with some olive oil to prevent that the food sticks to the sides. Add the pieces of boiled potatoes on top of the other vegetables. Pore the cheese sauce (in which I added some salt, pepper and herbs according to my taste) over the vegetables, add some pieces of cheese on top and some oil. Place in hot oven (I used 200°C) until a nice brown crispy top appears. This results also in cooked vegetables. On a plate, here together with a baked an ...

Potatoes, not my favourite food unless fried in oil or butter or smashed or in a gratin as I describe here. Ingredients : Potatoes Butternut Onion Mushrooms Peanuts Garlic (Hot peppers) Herbs such as pepper, dry basil, ... First, I cut the potatoes in relatively thin layers before boiling them although not too much as they will continue cooking in the oven. All the next frying is done in olive oil although also other oils or butter can provide a great taste to the food. While the potatoes are boiling, I cut part of the butternut in small pieces and fry them in oil so they become slightly soft without being overcooked while they get a nice slightly brown outside. Halfway the cooking, I add some herbs and garlic (this can change according to taste). Next I slightly fry some pieces of mushrooms and afterwards some peanuts and pieces of onion, while I add some herbs and garlic halfway through so they get a lovely flavour (don't need to be the same...
