The main thing that you have to remember on this journey is just be nice to everyone and always smile. Refreshingly, what was expected of her was the same thing that was expected of Lara Stone: to take a beautiful picture.

We woke reasonably late following the feast and free flowing wine the night before. After gathering ourselves and our packs, we headed down to our homestay family’s small dining room for breakfast, where we enjoyed scrambled eggs, toast, mekitsi (fried dough), local jam and peppermint tea.

 We were making our way to the Rila Mountains, where we were visiting the Rila Monastery.

We wandered the site with busloads of other tourists, yet strangely the place did not seem crowded. I’m not sure if it was the sheer size of the place, or whether the masses congregated in one area and didn’t venture far from the main church, but I didn’t feel overwhelmed by tourists in the monastery.

Headed over Lions Bridge and made our way to the Sofia Synagogue, then sheltered in the Central Market Hall until the recurrent (but short-lived) mid-afternoon rain passed.

Feeling refreshed after an espresso, we walked a short distance to the small but welcoming Banya Bashi Mosque, then descended into the ancient Serdica complex.

We were exhausted after a long day of travel, so we headed back to the hotel and crashed. I had low expectations about Sofia as a city, but after the walking tour I absolutely loved the place. This was an easy city to navigate, and it was a beautiful city despite its ugly, staunch and stolid communist-built surrounds. Sofia has a very average facade as you enter the city, but once you lose yourself in the old town area, everything changes.

If You Have It, You Can Make Anything Look Good

Clothes can transform your mood and confidence. Fashion moves so quickly that, unless you have a strong point of view, you can lose integrity. I like to be real. I don’t like things to be staged or fussy. I think I’d go mad if I didn’t have a place to escape to. You have to stay true to your heritage, that’s what your brand is about.

Ceia tropical tem que ter muita fruta na decoração, né? Mas o que fazer com as frutas que sobraram da ceia?

Geléia!

Não é a primeira vez que eu publico uma receita de geléia de cereja aqui no blog. Já publiquei uma geléia de cereja que eu usei numa cheesecake de frutas vermelhas.

Já essa receita de geléia de cereja leva morangos pra equilibrar a acidez e aproveitas as frutas que já estavam passando do ponto por causa do calor. Fica uma delícia! E ainda vai bem na ceia de ano novo com tender e carnes de porco.

Geléia de Cereja e Morango

Ingredientes

• 1 saquinho de cerejas (200g)
• 1 bandeja de morangos
• 1/2 xícara (chá) de açúcar
• 1 colher (sopa) de suco de limão

Modo de Preparo

Tire o caroço das cerejas e corte-as no meio. Pique os morangos grosseiramente. Coloque as frutas numa panela alta e cubra com o açúcar. Deixe descansar por 15 minutos, para que o açúcar tire a água das frutas. Acrescente o suco de limão e leve ao fogo baixo, mexendo de vez em quando, por cerca de 20 minutos ou até engrossar.

Guarde em um pote de vidro higienizado e bem vedado. Dura cerca de 20 dias na geladeira.

Fiz essa receita pensando num suco que eu tomei, delicioso, de abacaxi com geléia de maracujá e mel. Mas aí acabei experimentando no tender, e fica deliciosa!

Também serve pra fazer tortas e cheesecakes. Quando você encontrar maracujá em oferta, ou quando aquela frutinha estiver enrugando na fruteira, faça geléia e guarde congelada!

Geléia de maracujá

Ingredientes

• 2 xícaras (chá) de polpa de maracujá
• 1 xícara (chá) de açúcar cristal
• 1 colher (sopa) de suco de limão

Modo de Preparo

Leve ao fogo baixo os ingredientes e deixe cozinhando até ficar com uma textura gelatinosa, cerca de 40 a 50 minutos. Mexa de vez em quando, principalmente da metade do tempo pra frente, pra não grudar no fundo da panela.

Se formar muita espuma na superfície, tire delicadamente com uma escumadeira – isso vai deixar a geléia mais transparente e mais bonita. Mas não joga a espuma fora não, aproveita pra incrementar um suco, ou coloque ainda quentinha por cima de uma fatia de bolo.

Rendimento: um vidro de cerca de 350ml ou 400ml

Conservação: 10 dias em geladeira (ferva o vidro e a tampa antes de usar, e coloque a geléia ainda quente nele). Congelado por até três meses.

E o suco? É só sujar um copo com a geléia e colocar suco de abacaxi bem gelado, adoçado a gosto com mel

No Podcast Entre Talheres tem um episódio sobre geléias – vale a pena escutar as dicas. Não tem Spotify? Ouça no YouTube.

Descrição da vaga

Feliz ano novo! Vocês também estavam em pânico achando que rolaria uma parada meio Feitiço do Tempo e que a gente ficaria preso no ano passado pra sempre? Eu estava.

Mas o ano novo chegou… com um monte de sobras de comida da ceia né? E hoje a gente tá meio de ressaca de tanto comer e não quer ficar na cozinha pensando em nada muito pesado e elaborado.

Vamos resolver isso com uma farofinha? A minha aproveitou as sobras de tender e ainda uns restinhos de amêndoas em lascas e pecãs que eu tinha usado em outra receita, que deram uma crocância deliciosa. Como o tender já é salgado e eu usei farofa de mandioca temperada, não acrescentei sal nem pimenta, mas isso vai do gosto. E a regra da farofa é usar o que você tiver na geladeira, então pode tirar as castanhas e no lugar do tender usar lombo, peru, frango…

Farofa de tender e castanhas

Ingredientes

• 1 cebola picada
• 1 colher (chá) de manteiga
• 1 colher (chá) de azeite
• 2 xícaras (chá) de tender picado
• 3 colheres (sopa) de cheiro verde picado
• 1 colher (sopa) de amêndoas em lascas
• 1 colher (sopa) de pecã picada
• 1 1/2 xícara (chá) de farinha de mandioca

Modo de Preparo

Aqueça a panela onde você vai fazer a farofa sem nada e doure as castanhas rapidamente, só pra dar mais crocância. Reserve.

Em fogo médio, derreta a manteiga, acrescente o azeite e frite a cebola até ela começar a ficar transparente. Acrescente o tender e o cheiro verde, e mexa até ficar uma mistura sequinha. Tire do fogo e na hora de servir acrescente a farinha de mandioca e as castanhas. Se precisar, acerte o sal.

Dicas

• A casca do tender tá muito dura? Corta ela em tirinhas mais fininhas.
• Essa mesma receita você pode fazer com sobras de qualquer carne da ceia – lascas de peru ou cubinhos de lombo por exemplo.
• Se sobrar farofa, reaqueça numa frigideira – as castanhas reaquecidas no microondas vão ficar borrachudas.
• Pode congelar a farofa, mas sem as castanhas.

No Podcast Entre Talheres eu gravei um episódio especial com dicas de várias receitas para reaproveitar as sobras das ceias de final de ano – e ensinei como você transforma qualquer coisa em farofa. Não tem Spotify? Dá pra ouvir também no YouTube!

O risoto alla milanese é a receita mais tradicional de risoto na Itália. É antiguíssima, dizem que surgiu em Milão (por isso à milanesa) lá por 1574.

A receita é super simples: arroz arbóreo, vinho branco, açafrão pra temperar e um queijo honesto. O açafrão italiano é diferente do nosso açafrão da terra, que na verdade é cúrcuma – enquanto o que a gente chama aqui de açafrão é uma raiz parente do gengibre, o açafrão original vem dos pistilos de uma flor rara, e por isso é caríssimo.

Mas vamos combinar que um belo risoto é um prato mágico, que você pode fazer com o que quiser, ou com o que tiver na geladeira! Além disso pode ser consumido como prato principal, ou como acompanhamento de uma carne. É minha comfort food preferida!

Risoto alla milanese

Ingredientes

• 1/2 cebola média picada
• 1 colher (sopa) de azeite
• 1 colher (chá) rasa de sal
• 1 xícara (chá) de arroz arbóreo ou carnaroli
• 1/2 xícara (chá) de vinho branco seco
• 3 xícaras (chá) de caldo caseiro
• 1 envelope de açafrão em pó
• 1 colher (sopa) de manteiga sem sal

Modo de Preparo

Comece a receita colocando a manteiga no congelador.

Numa panela em fogo médio refogue a cebola no azeite com o sal, até a cebola começar a ficar transparente. Adicione o arroz e refogue até os grãos começarem a ficar transparentes, mas com o miolinho ainda branco. Adicione o vinho branco e mexa até o vinho evaporar (sinta pelo cheiro).

Abaixe o fogo e adicione o caldo aos poucos, concha por concha, sem parar de mexer. Mais ou menos na metade do cozimento adicione o envelopinho de açafrão. Vá adicionando caldo e mexendo o risoto até ele ficar no ponto – o grão tem que ser firme ao morder, o famoso al dente. Acerte o sal se necessário.

Desligue o fogo e adicione a manteiga gelada, mexendo bastante – a manteiga gelada vai deixar o risoto ainda mais cremoso. Tampe a panela e deixe o risoto descansar por 5 minutos.

Sirva com o queijo ralado e o acompanhamento que você preferir.

Rendimento: 2 a 4 porções (depende aí se você vai consumir apenas o risoto, ou servi-lo como acompanhamento).

Dicas

• Na falta de açafrão original, use uma colher (chá) de cúrcuma em pó.
• O truque da manteiga no congelador faz toda diferença pra cremosidade do risoto, sério!
• Um belo risoto merece um queijo mais bacana – não precisa ser um grana padano, mas também não precisa ser aquele parmesão desidratado de saquinho!
• Eu amo aspargos salteados na manteiga como acompanhamento – mas eles são caros e difíceis de encontrar

No Posdcast Entre Talheres tem um episódio especial só sobre risotos, te ensinando tudo o que você precisa saber pra fazer em casa esse prato delicioso. Não tem Spotify? Ouça no YouTube.

E você pode até usar caldo pronto se quiser, mas risoto não é miojo né, meu bem! Ouve o episódio do Entre Talheres sobre caldo caseiro (também no YouTube) com dicas pra ter sempre um caldo à mão, e ainda reaproveitar as sobras da sua cozinha.
