The Good

(tags: supa good, yumyum, in my plate, I'm hungry, I hate diets, it's not fair!!!)

Talking to the diet-ers here, but not only! :P

I've tried 2 recipes during the holidays, very simple and DELICIOUS.

1. Pineapple+pork brochettes:
you naturally all live in a big house, Lady Chatterley style (blush), with a pool, and of course it's pleasantly sunny where you are. So you can make BBQs, right? We're lucky because you'll need one to cook my pineapple/pork brochettes!

you will need:
green/yellow lemons,
pork (genre rouelle), spices,
olive oil,
cans of pineapples (you're sure then the pineapple be sweet enough)
For the quantities, you decide, really.

You prepare a marinade 1 days before cooking your brochettes.
lemons juice + 1 spoon of olive oil+the spices you want (curry, cumin, peper,etc) + the juice from your pineapple cans.
You cut your pork in small pieces, and put it in the marinade for 24 hours.

Once first step is done you can make your brochettes: pork + pineapples bits. The BBQ will make the rest! YUM!

2. Greek filo pastry
You don't live in Lady Chatterley's manor (snif), have no pool and the weather sucks (yawn).. but, hey, you still wanna please your stomach! here my lil (ermm it sounds strange in English) "greek filo pastry" (bricks à la grecque)

it's VERY easy and for having tried a few times, people are wunnerfully surprised!
(did I say I hated cooking one day? Well, that's true, except when it's fookin easy!)

you need:

-filo pastry (feuilles de brick, y'en a partout, trop à la mode ce truc)
-1 feta cheese
-2 eggs
-grated parmesan 3 big spoon
-peper
-chive (ciboulette)

you mix with a fork the feta + eggs + pre-cut chive + peper + grated parmesan

you take a leaf of filo pastry (1 feuille de prick), you cut it like in triangles, not too big (but then you decide if you want big pieces or smaller ones)
you take a coffee spoon of your mixed preparation and put it in the middle of the triangle, you fold the extremities and you have a lovely lil piece ready to be put in the oven.
On the pieces I don't put anything (no oil, no butter, no egg), I'm on a diet remember ! :P

I serve them for the aperitif or with a salad. It's a taste you don't get often around here, it surprises people! and I LOVE it!

Guten Apetite!
