Broiler thin cutlets and halloumi slices wrapped in zucchini

Broiler thin cutlets and halloumi slices wrapped in zucchini

As I already mentioned in my previous post about grilling, the weather has been a blessing in the sense that it has been possible to enjoy our meals in the shade of a huge maple tree. Although I can not help feeling pity for my garden drying up in spite of all the watering and for the raspberry bushes being full of unripe small berries, which are in danger of withering.

Turkey rolls filled with boletes and cream cheese

Turkey rolls filled with boletes and cream cheese

Instead of chicken rolls, we decided to do turkey rolls for a change. Thin turkey cutlets are noticeably bigger than their chicken cousins, so the rolls are easier to make, not to mention that I find turkey meat a bit tastier than chicken.

When you send the man of the house to do some shopping on his own without any special requests, just a friendly take whatever you feel like, you can be sure that there will be smooth pork sausages, a sausage bent on a form of oval, minced meat and chicken breasts, in his basket.

Duck breast filled with goat cheese

Duck breast filled with goat cheese

So far I have managed to walk through life without preparing or tasting duck. Not due to anything in particular, the whole duck thing simply hasn’t sprung to mind because of the enormous supply of chicken and turkey in every store. As a matter of fact I can’t recall ever seeing duck before on store shelves, but when I happened to notice duck breasts on offer I of course bought a few of them right away.

That big, fat fellow called Piel de Sapo was calling out from our fridge: “Please, try me! Try to use me in some other way, not only in your salads!” Why not, I thought, and because this melon variety isn’t too sweet and the texture is very solid, so baking or simmering it shouldn’t be a problem.

There is already one recipe for chicken rolls in my food blog, and here I wrote that instead of mold cheeses any kind of flavoured cream cheese will work as a substitute. Well, these rolls are now stuffed with herb cream cheese and the result is delicious. Continue reading “Chicken rolls stuffed with herb cream cheese”

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,”
said Piglet at last,
“what’s the first thing you say to yourself?”
“What’s for breakfast?”, said Pooh.
“What do you say, Piglet?”
“I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully. “It’s the same thing” he said.

After serving your guests a huge meal, followed by a big cheesecake with coffee for dessert – and finally a cheese board taken to the table in the middle of the night, you surely have quite a collection of cheeses in your fridge the following day, which is a great excuse to try them in all sorts of different dishes.
