Boil the salted meat for 15 minutes to get rid of the salt. Boil some more for it to have the proper hardness of meat up to your personal preference.

Once done, cut the meat in cubes, cut the tomato in parts, and finely cut the onion and garlic.
Heat up a saute pan and stir fry the onion and garlic until soft. Put the tomato puree in and blend well on soft heat. Add the meat and stir fry for about 5 minutes on medium heat. Add the soy and the tomatoes and stir fry for 2 - 3 minutes and add the stock cube and the water. Blend well and add the pepper. Mix thoroughly and serve on sandwiches.

Tortellini with spinach

serves 2 - 3

Ingredients:

* 500g tortellini

* 250g smoked sausage

* 300g fresh spinach ( or frozen, adjust amount to your liking)

Additional:

* Jalapeño sauce
* Lemon juice

Preparation:

Boil the tortellini for 12 - 17 minutes.
Cut the smoked sausage in cubes. Heat up a saute or wok and add the sausage. Stir fry for 5 - 7 minutes. Add the fresh spinach and wait until it shrinks. Now add the tortellini and mix well.
If you use frozen spinach, make sure you precooked it.

It is a very simply dish, but it is really tasty!
Spinach is known for their oxalic acid, which gives you a weird taste. To make that a little less, use the lemon juice to sprinkle over the dish. For extra spice, add the jalapeño sauce.

I hope you like this dish and see you again soon!

Yours truly,

Mike
