Свинина в сливочном соусе
A really good pork recipe
Состав
1кг свинины (желательно задок), 0,5л сухого белого вина
СОУС
300~500г свежих грибов, 2 ст ложки лимонного сока, 100г сливочного масла, 1 маленькая луковица, 400мл сливок, 3~4 помидора или 2 ст ложки томатной пасты или 250мл томатного сока, соль, перец
Приготовление
Из толстого куска свинины вырезать кость и срезать сало, оставив не более 1см.
Кусок нарезать ломтями толщиной 1~1,5см (нарезку производить вдоль куска, т.е. разрез нужно делать параллельно плоскости стола).
Ломти положить в глубокий противень, посолить, поперчить, и налить 1/2 стакана вина.
Противень сверху закрыть фольгой и поставить в духовку, нагретую до t=200°С на 45 мин.
Снять фольгу, температуру прибавить до 220°С и потушить еще 15 мин.
Во время готовки мяса сделать соус.
Грибы порезать тонкими дольками и положить в кастрюлю. Добавить 2 ст ложки воды, лимонный сок и соль. Закрыть крышкой, поставить на сильный огонь и довести до кипения. Проварить 2 мин.
Сцедить жидкость с грибов в сковороду, влить оставшееся вино и положить мелко порезанный лук. Готовить смесь на сильном огне, пока она не уварится на половину.
Добавить помидоры и сок из противеня с мясом (после того, как мясо сготовится).
Уварить еще в два раза при сильном кипении.
Добавить сливки и подержать на огне еще 5~10мин, пока соус не загустеет.
Снять сковороду с огня и перемешать соус со сливочным маслом. По вкусу добавить соли и перца.
Поставить противень в разогретую до max духовку на несколько минут, чтобы поверхность начала подрумяниваться. Не допускать полного выкипания соуса.

Quiche in sweet potato crust
Super light but very good quiche.
Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 (5-ounce) bag baby spinach
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
4 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1.5 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1. Preheat the oven to 350°, then peel and slice sweet potatoes. I sliced mine using a mandoline, but a knife works great as well. The mandoline speeds up the process significantly and gives you even slices. Coat a pie dish with cooking spray, then fill the bottom of the dish with a layer of sweet potato slices. Cut the sweet potato rounds in half and fill around the edges of the pie dish; round side facing up. Once the entire dish is filled, coat one more time with cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn heat up to 375°.
2. For the filling, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add spinach; sauté 3 minutes. Remove from heat; cool.
3. Combine milk and next 5 ingredients in a bowl; stir with a whisk. Arrange spinach mixture in crust; pour egg mixture over spinach. Sprinkle with feta. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes; cut into 4 wedges.
