Today the wind is so strong here that the park in front of the house looks desolate, 3 trees have been uprooted, some leaves, papers and bird's nests furiously fly in the air.I should get dressed and go for the bread and newspaper but I'm a bit scared... should I fill my pockets with stones? What if the wind blows me away as a dishevelled Mary Poppins?
A strong wind is one of the meteorological phenomena that scares me the most! I feel like anything could beat me any time! Oh, I got it! Maybe I should go for the newspaper with my ridding helmet on :D.The blinds beating against our windows woke me up and I couldn't go back to sleep... I hate waking up early on a Saturday morning!!!
The view of the park in front of my kitchen window. Two trees have been beaten down to the floor. The whole park has had 9 uprooted trees and some more have many branches broken.
So, to get in a good mood, here I am blogging about my Cabbage rolls, simple, easy and delicious daily cooking :D. I'm sending this over to Simona from Briciole and her Fresh Product of the Month: Cavolo - Cabbage, if you want to participate too, you are still on time! Go and check :D.
Ingredients for 4 servings: 1 cabbage, 1 big onion, minced pork meat (250 grams), 1 teaspoon of sweet ground paprika, 1 tablespoon of sugar, olive oil, salt and black ground pepper. Optional: some slices of Butifarra negra, or slices of baked potatoes and a sauce to fit your taste.
- Separate and clean the outer cabbage leaves. Prepare a big pot with boiling salty water and drop the leaves in for only 1 minute. Refresh in a bowl with water and ice cubs. Drain and reserve.
- Clean and cut the rest of the cabbage (1 cm. dices) and boil in salty water for 10 minutes aprox. Drain and reserve.
- Chop the onion and fry in a sauce pan with some olive oil at medium heat until it gets a bit golden, then add the minced meat. Stir and fry until the meat gets golden and ad the cabbage. Stir a bit more, add some salt, black ground pepper, paprika and sugar. Stir and Reserve out of the heat.
- Preheat oven at 180 ºC.
- Lay the cabbage big leaves on a clean surface and fill with 2 spoon table of the meat mixture. Roll them and place in an oven recipient (previously rubbed with some olive oil). Pour some olive oil over the rolls and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Present the rolls over some baked potatoes or some butifarra negra. Also you can make a sauce and pour some over.
Saturday PM
My brother and sister, whom live in a village surrounded by forests called me from their cellulars phones... the electric fluid is non existing, trees have fallen over the houses, the roads are cut, fix phones don't work, 2 men died when trying to lift and carry away from the road a fallen tree; they didn't notice another tree falling over them. One of them was a friend of my sister.
In another village nearby, 4 kids died when the ceiling and walls of the sport hall fell apart.
This was never seen here! Not only Catalonia has been affected, the north of Spain has had 14 meters high waves. The emergency help is collapsed. We are all in shock!
