Paella with chicken, chorizo and shrimps

I’m terrified that some Spanish gangsters will come and kick my butt for calling this dish a paella, but I’m prepared to live in exile for the rest of my life. This “paella” is delicious!
The problem is that I add chorizo sausage to the paella, which is NOT how a Spanish chef would do it. In Spain you simply can’t put chorizo in paella, it doesn’t belong there. But I live in Denmark and today I add chorizo, which is one of my favorite ingredients.

Another thing which is done wrong …

Thick low fat pizza with vegetables and pepperoni

The last pizza recipe I posted here on the blog, “An easy way to make pizzas“, wasn’t quite the best. Don’t misunderstand me, it is good! It’s just not the best. I was very busy and had to find out the easiest way to make a pizza. Today’s pizza recipe is far better. It consists of a very nice pizza dough, red pepper, onions, mushrooms and a nice pepperoni/salami. The dough itself is a little more complicated this time, not much, just a little bit. The nice thing about this …

Soya marinated chicken with vegetables in wok

Admitted, I am no wok expert. Actually I know very little about Chinese cooking, but I know a dish, which looks like Chinese food and can be made in a wok. The marinade was actually a coincidence, something I came up with in need of anything better, but it’s very delicious. It’s an easy meal to prepare – here’s what you need:
The ingredients (4 persons)

1 pound of chicken breasts
1 pound of egg noodles
Abt. 3 carrots
Baby corns – as many as you like
A can of coconut milk
A garlic clove
1.5 dl. Soya …

An easy way to make pizzas

This is an easy way to make good tasting, crispy pizzas, without spending a whole day doing it. The dough is very easy to make and the tomato sauce is the $1 version from the supermarket (the one in my supermarket is quite good actually). The fill is just everything you like, or already have in your fridge. Today I have choose to make 3 regular pizzas with a tasty pepperoni and a good fresh mozzarella cheese, and also a calzone, with cheese, ham and tomatoes (unfortunately I didn’t manage …

Mexican burritos with chicken and guacamole

This is something that a Mexican friend of mine once served for me. It’s easy and quick to make, and it tastes very good. Burritos are much like the Italians’ pizza, where you can put just everything you like on. Today I’m going to use chicken and guacamole.
First of all you need some guacamole. I would not recommend that you buy it, because it’s way too expensive and contains a lot of fat. Actually it is very easy to make your own guacamole, and I have made a little guide …

How to make guacamole

Guacamole is one of my favorite things to cook in my kitchen, for several reasons. First of all, guacamole is extremely delicious. Furthermore, guacamole is easy to make, fun to make and also a great dip, useable in many different situations and dishes. The guacamole comes from Mexico, where the Aztecs enjoyed it for its high vitamins and fat content, which mostly comes from the avocado. Actually, guacamole is Aztec for “avocado sauce”. Main ingredients are avocado, lime and salt. Many people enjoys adding tomatoes to their guacamole, I don’t.

Chicken risotto, with carrots and broccoli

Risotto is the most common rice dish in Italy. The original risotto comes from northern Italy, and is one of the most popular dishes in Milano. There are thousands of different ways to cook a risotto. This recipe contains one of them, one with chicken. Actually you can put almost everything you like in your risotto, sort of like a pizza. In old times, the Italians put just what they have in the risotto, fish, meat, vegetables etc. The factor which decides if something is a risotto or not, is …

Spanish omelette with chorizo sausage, baked in the oven

This dish is both delicious and easy to cook. It’s a mixture of a traditional Spanish omelette and an egg cake, because it’s baked in the oven. The flavour is SO delicious and everyone loves it. The omelette is great for people like me, who normally can’t eat potatoes without a good sauce, because the potatoes gets so tender and they absorb the flavor from the chorizo sausages.
Here are the ingredients (4 people):

10 eggs
300 - 400 g potatoes
Chorizo Sausage, as much as you like!
About 1.5 - 2 dl milk
Thyme, salt …
