Poached Eggs with Florina Peppers

While at my local hairdresser, besides it being the best place for your local gossip, you can pick up some great recipes. This is a quick and easy lunch, I used to make it only with onions and then someone said add slices of red Florina peppers and so I did, we love it !!  You can serve with fries. The cracked is purposely done, my husband doesn't like running eggs.

What you will need:

4 - 6 eggs depending on servings

2 medium sliced red Florina peppers can use other peppers but tastes better with Florina )

1 big onion cut into rings

Olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

a pinch of oregano

1 - 2 tablespoons of tomato paste

Once everything is sliced place in skillet and saute with 10 tablespoons of olive oil for about 10 minutes add salt, pepper and oregano.

Add two cups of water and let boil on medium heat until tender.

When tender add 1 or 2 tablespoons of tomato paste depending how red you want it, I usually use two.

           

And finally, add your eggs salt and pepper to taste cover and let cook not more than 10 minutes on medium heat,  unless you like them well done. As mentioned above you can serve them with fries or eat them by themselves with some feta cheese. From my table to yours, enjoy ! KALE OREXI !!! 

Boozed up meat

Most of my recipes have sentimental value, when I cook a meal I always have a memory attached to it. This recipe was given to me by my local butcher Vaggelis, he's such a sweet man and very humble, since he knows that I always try to new recipes he suggested the following. It was mouthwatering and juicy !! I hope you enjoy.He didn't give me a name so I did, it's my butcher's boozed up meat !

 Ingredients:

3 pounds of beef ( choose the roast beef type) 

1 can of beer ( I use sweet beer)

1 regular onion

1 teaspoon black peppercorns
3 garlic cloves 

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon mustard

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/3 cup of Olive Oil 

wax paper

Clay pan ( if you have, other wise use a regular pan) 

Take a deep bowl, pour your beer, add all the ingredients and mix then,  cut your onions in small pieces and add it in mixture. Take your beef wash it ( I always do ) place it in the mixture and allow it to marinate till  the next day, this will  make your beef  very tender and juicy. There wasn't any left overs !

                                       

I use a clay pot ( makes the food tastier), place your meat inside, pour some of the mixture, add your oil, cut your garlic in small pieces add salt, pepper and oregano to taste. Cover it with wax paper as seen in picture.

Place in oven cook at 350 for an hour or until it's tender you can serve with boiled rice or baked potatoes like I did. 

A picture is worth a thousand words they say, if that's so I wish this picture could show you just how tender the meat is. My son was asking for seconds !!! 

Another dish from my kitchen to yours ! KALE OREXI !!
