Do you read food blogs?
Cool stuff mate.
I am a mediocre cook, though I can do a decent saffron risotto :D
I can also make a half good aubergine lasagna, but my girlfriend hates aubergine :(

So I was thinking, maybe I should start a food blog. I could call it "Fnord's Bachelor Chow" and it would be documenting the cooking adventures of a Swedish bachelor.
Day 1:
This is what I made today
For this dish you need:
1kg minced meat
50g of mixed fresh herbs, I used thyme, basil, parsley
A generous pinch of ground black pepper
1dl water
8 dl vegetable broth
4dl of bulgur
A pinch of saffron
1dl of black olives (seedless)
~100g of pickled bell pepper (chopped)
½ cucumber (diced)
120g cherry tomatoes
Some balsamic vinegar (fake is fine here)
Start by mixing the herbs, black pepper, minced meat & water together. Mix it well, you don't want clumps of herbs anywhere, instead make sure that it is spread evenly through the meat. Make between 12-15 "balls" out of it, and put them in a skillet at medium heat until cooked all the way through, and they have a nice golden brown exterior.
For the bulgur, heat the broth until it starts boiling, add in a pinch of saffron (0.2-0.3g). Then add the bulgur to it and let it sit for 20min (this step can be prepared ahead of time). Put the cherry tomatoes in a skillet and heat them until they start getting mushy. Pour some balsamic vinegar over them and add them to the bulgur. Now add the diced cucumber, olives and bell pepper to the bulgur as well. Serve with some Greek yoghurt.
Overall, I have to say that I'm very happy with this dish. It was easy enough to make, and it tasted great. Next time I think I'll have a bit less broth though, maybe ½dl less.
Next time we will look at how to make homemade marmalade. Here is a sneak peak of things to come
Did you actually read that tut? No, I'm not about to start making a food blog, who reads those anyway? But consider what forum this is...
