From Netherlands

The first time trying out my dorm’s kitchen. With my dear roommate Renèe Theodora Maria Magdalena Strik. She comes from Holland. Yes, that great land where freedom is celebrated and food is generated. (RHYME! Just in case you hadn’t noticed. Thank you.) Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the HEALTHY MEAL IN DUTCH STYLE performed by Renèe and Amalija.

  • For 2 persons.
  • Preparation time: about 1 hour.

The Ingredient List

  • Chicken’s fillet
  • 5 potatoes
  • 1 broccoli floret
  • Oil (any kind); 2 bullion cubs (divided); 1 garlic (minced) or 1 teaspoon of garlic powder; black pepper; salt.

The Preparation Method

  1. Dice the chicken fillet and potatoes. No need to peel them. You’ll cleanly wash the potatoes instead. Grease a pan. Start heating it.
  2. Place cleanly washed potatoes in cold water. Add 1 bullion cube and salt. When water will be boiling, you’ll turn the heat a bit lower. Boil until they’re quite soft, but not too soft.
  3. Place the cut chicken cubs in the preheated and greased pan. They can be packed tightly. Sprinkle the chicken with garlic, pepper and salt. Bake it until the colour is slightly brown.
  4. While chicken and potatoes are getting ready, wash the broccoli. Chop it and place it in water. Add the other bullion cube and salt. Boil it for about 5-7 minutes. Broccoli gets boiled quickly.
  5. That’s about it. When everything is ready you can still add spices, olive oil our sour cream.

Renèe:

Yummy! We did a good job.

Writing a receipt isn’t easy and simple. You’ll need cooking terms you hadn’t even heard before. I found very useful the following sites:

I also realized that next time I’ll be preparing a soup, probably.

I’ve got an announcement too:

I’m going vegan starting from today until the end of February!

A new experiment, which I already find hard to do. Milk products are everywhere! You wouldn’t believe it. I’m also erasing alcohol from my menu. So guys, prepare yourself for a healthy month in this blog.
