Food circus: Easy, fun, delicious
Summer and barbecuing definitely belong together… and so do wasps. Especially the long-lasting hot weather and the withering of flowers makes them very hungry and fierce. The scent of grilled food attracts wasps to the annoyance of those eating outside and at worst there might be dozens of them spinning on the edge of a plate or a drinking glass. They seem to be very fond of grilled meat, just as we people are.
This kind of stew does not necessarily need a recipe to prepare it, one just uses those ingredients he or she likes or happens to have. It is good when served with any kind of meat or fish, but tastes great just in itself. Continue reading “Pan fried potatoes and vegetables”
Stew made of pork, potatoes and varying other ingredients is absolutely one of the best summer foods prepared in a Muurikka pan. We have tested f.ex. broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, various vegetable mixes, chili peppers, beans, carrots, asparagus, zucchini along with pork and potatoes and it’s always just as good – no matter what you use. Continue reading “Pork and potatoes in Muurikka griddle pan”
Really easy summer food to make, especially if one buys pre-gutted vendaces. On the other hand a handy host or hostess gutts them in a moment. Broiled vencades indeed are so simple to make that one would not necessarily need any recipe. Continue reading “Broiled vendaces”
Meat skewers remind of summer, sun, warm evenings and grilling and as a matter of fact we mostly make them during summertime. Skewers are easy to make in the oven as well and they even taste almost as good as the ones made outdoors, missing just a slight aroma of smoke and fire.

The strong aromatic flavor of fennel may not appeal to everyone. Especially those who hate the taste of anise will most likely dislike fennels as well. We absolutely love them and we have used them in many various ways, among other things as a part of chicken or meat stews, baked with cream and capers or such a side dish as shown in the opening picture. Continue reading “Fennels and goat cheese”
In my previous blog entry I said that quite a time has passed since I published the blog entry before this previous one. Time between those two entries was about four months. Now I was just about to write that quite a time had passed since the previous one… only to notice that I haven’t written anything in one and a half years! Continue reading “Sausages and French fries”
Many years ago one of my co-workers offered us a dinner, which we named “the casserole of Merzi). Since that I have made this dish, though I’ve never been totally sure about all the ingredients included originally. Continue reading “Meat and vegetable casserole”
Oven baked salmon is really delicious, even though seasoned with any other spices than salt and pepper. However, salmon teriyaki tastes good for a change. Lightly salted salmon and sweet teriyaki sauce is a perfect match. Moreover, this is an easy meal to make, sauce is ready in few minutes ja the whole meal in 30 minutes. Continue reading “Salmon teriyaki”
This combination may seem weird, but the wholeness was just great. Beef tenderloin, spinach sauce spiced with lemon, red onion and cucumber salad, kiwi slices spiked with garlic and capers. Do I need to say something else: delicious. Continue reading “Beef tenderloin steak”
