Last weekend, while my children were sleeping in the afternoon, I wanted to bake something sweet. But I was angry at my self, because I didn’t know what can I bake. So I started to browse in my computer looking for something suitable. And I saw these cakes. I decided to make them. I know, that they’re not sweet, but I had everything they needed in my fridge. I just didn’t make baskets out of rice, just did two layer cakes. And they tasted very good. At first I was afraid that my hubby will miss meat in them, but I was wrong

(12 cakes)

1 1/2 cup cooked rice

2 tbsps grated parmesan

1 kiaušinis

20 g butter

50 g mushrooms, chopped

Braise mushrooms, zuccini and tomato till tenderness. Then take off the heat and mix in ricotta and an egg. Spread filling on the rice. Bake in 200°C preheated oven about 25 minutes, till filling will be firm the the top till be nicely brown.

Sad, but true… I have to go to work again… After more than two years of vacations. But let’s look at everything from another point of view – I have to think what to take to work for lunch and what to prepare for very quick dinner. Also from now on I can bake more sweets because to drink coffee gathers many girls But let’s talk about this dish. I boiled buckwheats yesterday, so today I made everything in 15 minutes. You can call this dish stew or cereal with chicken We’re not used to eat buckwheats with meat, but this new taste was good Just my hubby wanted grated cheese on top and maybe some chilli

(2-3 servings)

100 g buchwheat

250-300 ml water

1 carrot

1/2 onion

200 g minced chicken

1 tbsp oil

1 small can tomatoes without skin

salt

black pepper

chopped fresh parsley

Boil buckwheat in water, season with salt. Peel the carrot and grate it. Chop the onion. Fry carrot, onion and minced chicken in oil for about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and peppers. Put chopped tomatoes and pour their liquid and heat for 3-4 minutes more. Pur buckwheat, mix well and stew for some time. If needed season with salt and peppers again. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.

Lately my family doesn’t want any bakes. But this recipe was the only one that I liked and wanted to prepare for the Rice week. I said that I’m gonna make it you like it or not And only when I saw how my family was eating this bake I remembered that rice and curd are the most favourite ingredients so this bake had to be a hit from the beginning. And one more point for this bake – it’s just slightly sweet. That’s why I heard compliment from my hubby. He said that this bake is probably the best that he ever ate So you look at the last piece of bake and it disappeared very quickly after I did some shots.

1/2 glass rice

3/4 glass water

1 glass milk

250 g curd
