Spinach and Eggs - Food for College

For those of you who asked for cooking tips for college, and you know who you are, here is an easy and tasty breakfast.

Scrambled Spinach

Take a good bunch of frozen spinach, and microwave it on high for 3 minutes. It doesn't have to be completely thawed.

Spray a skillet with Pam, heat it, and add the drained spinach.

Sprinkle the spinach with soy sauce - use plenty of it, and add some hot sauce if you want.

Sautee the spinach until most of the liquid is gone.

Beat  2 or three eggs in a bowl, and add them to the sauteed spinach, stirring to mix.

Cook until done.

Chili in Argentina

This is about Texas chili and how you can make it in Argentina. For anything containing turkey or noodles, for meatless dishes, or anything white in color, go somewhere else. I can't help you. Argentina is a great place for meat; it is cheap and good. They also make outstanding sausage, cold cuts like salami and mortadella , and prosciutto ( jamon crudo ). The bacon and smoked pork loin is some of the best I have ever had anywhere. At first it may seem a little too smoky, but that is because it is really smoked over wood, not injected with liquid smoke as is too often the case in the US. The first step in making chili is to select the meat. I like the Argentine cut called "roast beef". It is cheap, with some fat but not too much, and not too many tendons. Using expensive meat would miss the point of chili, and expensive cuts would not stand up to the long cooking time. Get at least a couple of kilos. You should never use ground beef in chili, ever. Some people who call th...

Strip Steaks with Country Fries

Down here a strip steak you would find in the US is called a "Bife Americano". The "country" referred to is the Argentine pampa. This recipe is a good way to add alittle flavor and interest. One ingredient whic is not so common in the States is fennel. In Argentina it is as common and almost as cheap as celery. Start marinating the beef the day before you plan to cook it, in the refrigerator. 4 o 5 strip steaks, about 8 oz each For the marinade: 1/2 bottle dry red wine, the cheap stuff Peel of one orange, sliced in thin strips 4 cloves of garlic, sliced Fresh or dry tarragon Green pepper corns, crushed Country fries: 1 large sweet onion, cut in strips 2 fennel bulbs, cut in strips 12 - 16 ounces sausage - Argentine chorizo parrillero or sweet Italian sausage, sliced 2-1/2 pounds potatoes for frying oil for frying salt and pepper 1.) Place the steaks in a glass or ceramic dish in one layer. Scatter the garlic, tarragon, ora...

Intro to Cooking Down South

I like to cook because I love to eat. In Argentina, there are not many pre-fab ingredients like canned soup, process cheese, frozen this and that. You tend to use more primary ingredients, like fresh meat, vegetables, and herbs. The following recipe for tomato sauce is a basis for many other things which we will get into later. It is a little different every time I make it, depending on what I have on hand; I really try to avoid running out for one ingredient for some recipe. You can make it in a few minutes, and it does very well with canned tomatoes. Saying that this is the best tomato sauce recipe is like saying one book is the best book. This one is just quick and easy and tasty. BASIC TOMATO SAUCE A little olive oil 3 - 4 flat anchovies packed in oil, chopped, if you have them 4 cloves of garlic (minimum), minced 3 - 4 cans chopped tomates in their juice good shot of dry red wine 1 tsp. herbs - oregano, marjoram, thyme, basil, rosemary, etc. 1/2 tsp sugar red pepper flakes to tast...
