Beef Short Ribs in Spicy Tomato Sauce

I watched Ali Güngörmüs cooking with hobby cooks. The concept of the show is, a hobby cook makes a meal for Ali and then he takes the same ingredients and makes a different meal out of them for a home cook. There are plenty of inspirations on this show.
This is based of one of his shows.

I used
  • 1 lbs of boneless beef short ribs
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic chopped or minced
  • 1 can of tomato sauce
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup of chopped celery root (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp of paprika
  • 1/2 tsp of ground allspice
  • 4 tbsp of harissa
  • 2 bat leaves
  • olive oil
  • water i9f needed)
Pad dry the short ribs and cut them into bite size pieces.
In a Dutch Oven heat up the olive oil, add the onions and the celery and cook till the onions are translucent.
Add the meat and let it get some color. Then add all the remaining items. For the spices and the harissa you can use more or less depending on how spicy you want that to be. Taste it. One can always add.
The meat should be covered with liquid. Add water if not. Then bring to a boil. Then turn the heat down and let it simmer till the meat is really tender. For me it took about 90 min. It depends on how much you make and the quality of the meat.

Soljanka

There are many versions of Soljanka on the internet. This is my version. We need 1 large onion (chopped) 2 cans of fire roasted diced tomatoes 1/2 bottle of tomato juice 1  cup of chopped up pickles (famous Dave's spicy chips) 4 cups of water 2 tsp of tomato bullion from Knorr 1 pack of Eckrich Turkey sausage, sliced in half over the full length and then cut into 5mm pieces 1/2 tsp of Allspice 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika The picture also shows tomato paste. I ended up not needing it. In a dutch oven, heat up some  oil, add the chopped onions, let them get translucent. Then add the sausage and let it get some color. Now add all the remaining things, bring to a boil, cover, turn the heat down and simmer for about 1h. Stir occasionally. Serve with a slice of lemon and some sour cream. -Mahlzeit-

Second Attempt of Pigs Ears (a German Sweet)

Image
I still had puff pastry in the fridge, that needed to get a purpose. The original plan was to do  Beef Wellington. Then I didn't have the patience to work through all the steps. Back-up recipe: Pigs Ears. This time without the chocolate covering. The ingredients are very simple: 1 sheet puff pastry (store bought), sugar and cinnamon.  I mix the sugar with the cinnamon and then put it in a sugar shaker. It makes it for an easy distribution. Unroll the sheet of puff pasty. I do that on a silicon matt, that has measurements on the side. This comes up really handy when folding. The bottom left corner lines up with the 0 marker on the matt. The sheet is 15" high. The first fold of  both ends needs to meet roughly at 7.5". Add some of the sugar and cinnamon mixture on the entire sheet and then fold. Add more sugar and cinnamon on the folded puff pastry. Then fold both sides again, so they meet at the existing 7.5" line again. I did run out of the sugar cinnamon mixture.  I...
