Pasta carbonara

serves 1

Ingredients:

* 100 gram spaghetti

* 100 gram smoked bacon cubes (for the authenticate recipe, use pancetta)
* 2 eggs
* 40 gram grated Parmesan 

* 4 season pepper to taste

Preparation:

In a bowl, beat the eggs, and add the Parmesan. Add pepper to taste.

Bring water to the boil. When it boils, add the spaghetti, and immediately fry the bacon cubes with 1 spoon of olive oil in a skillet. Let them simmer, they shouldn't be too crisp.  Boil the spaghetti al dente, and pour the water out. Lower the heat of the bacon and put the spaghetti in. Mix well so that the flavour gets blended evenly. Now add the egg and mix that through the spaghetti, the egg should not become hard! Take it off the heat and serve immediately. Decorate with some parmesan and pepper.

I hope you like the recipe and hopefully until soon.

Grilled chicken sandwich

Serves 3 - 4

Ingredients:

* 500g chicken breast
* 8 bread rolls
* Cheddar

* Jalapeño slices
* Canned tomato cubes

* 1 green paprika

* 1 onion
* 3 garlic cloves

* Coriander

* Salt
* Chili powder

* Paprika powder

* Tomato ketchup

* Lime juice

       

Preparations:

We start by making the salsa sauce.
Finely cut the garlic, onion and paprika and heat up some oil in a pot. Softly cook the vegetables and let it simmer. Now add the tomato cubes and stir. Immediately add the coriander, salt, and the powders to taste. Add a dash of lime juice and add 1 to 2 spoons of tomato ketchup. Stir well and remove from heat. Leave it alone to cool.

Now we take a grill pan and grill the chicken on both sides. Be sure to grill it through, in case of bacteria. Now cut, or pull the chicken in strips.

On the rolls; put the cheddar and let it melt (I used the microwave to do this) then add the chicken, salsa sauce and decorate with jalapeño.

I hope you like the recipe and hopefully until soon!
