Strawberry & Red Fruits Bavaroise

Taking advantage of the strawberry season and the fact that we were attending two birthday parties the past weekend I decided to bake something easy, wonderfully scented and tasty and that would please our kind hosts and their guests. This is a delicous, refreshing and  light dessert  that I garantee you will pove irresistible!


Ingredients:

•  300gr of  strawberries 
•  100gr sugar 
• ½ dl milk  
• 3 sheets of gelatine  
• 200ml of whipped cream with 3 tablespoons sugar

Cut the strawberries into small pieces and reduce them to puree. Add sugar and let it boil for 5 minutes - stirring in the meantime. Remove from heat, let cool and add the milk.
Place the gelatine sheets for 2 minute soaked  in cold water, then drain them and bring to medium heat until melted. Add the melted gelatin to the mixture and add the whipped cream with 3 tablespoons sugar. Put the red fruits at the bottom of a small bowl to cool until it solididifies (preferably overnight). Garnish with red fruits and serve chilled.


 Ingredientes:

• 300gr de morangos
• 100gr de açúcar ½ dl de leite
• 3 folhas de gelatina
• 200ml de natas batidas com 3 colheres de açúcar

Corte os morangos em pedaços pequenos e reduzir a puré.Junte o açúcar e leve ao lume, deixando ferver 5 minutos  - entretanto vá mexendo o tacho.Retire do lume, deixe amornar e adicione o leite.
Colocar as folhas de gelatina 2 minutos de molho em água fria, escorrer e levar ao lume até derreter. Junte a gelatina derretida ao preparado e adicione as natas batidas com as 3 colheres de açúcar. Coloque frutos vermelhos no fundo de uma taça leve ao frio até solidificar (preferencialmente de um dia para o outro). Enfeite com frutos vermelhos e sirva bem gelado.

Too Good Not To Post It Right Away

Shrimp & Sea Food Omelette

Mostly I eat out during the week, often at my workplace and seldom at the restaurant, but whenever I have the chance I drop by my place to have a home cooked meal, even if it is as quick as this seafood omelette, that is equally tasty and satisfying. It requires no handy skills, only fresh and good ingredients!

Ingredients [for 2]:

• shrimp
• sea fruits
• a pinch of salt
• chili
• extra virgin olive oil
• 3 eggs 
• parsley
• cheese from the Azores "Queijo da Ilha"

• onion

Put the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the shrimp and the sea fruit, seasoned with chopped onion, garlic, chili and a pinch of salt. I a bowl mix the eggs with the parsley and beat well. Add the cheese . Pour this dough over the frying pan and let cook. Serve hot.
