Here is one of our family’s favourite recipes.

Chicken and rice porridge / Dakjuk

Main Ingredients Broth Ingredients• 1½ lb Chicken (⅔ Cup Cooked Chicken) - 6 cups water• 5 Garlic Cloves - 10 garlic cloves• ½ Cup Sweet Rice - 10 black peppercorns• 1 tsp Fine Sea Salt• Some Sesame Oil• Some Chopped Green Onions (to Garnish)

Directions

Soak ½ cup of sticky rice in water for 3 hours. You can use normal Korean rice or Japanese sushi rice, but sticky rice tastes better for porridge, and it makes a thicker broth.

To make the broth, add 6 cups of water, the chicken, 10 garlic cloves, and 10 black peppercorns. For good chicken broth, I used 2 pieces of chicken breasts with skin and bones. If you want to make a small amount of porridge like me, use the left over chicken for something else.

Boil the chicken for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the broth is reduced to about half (3 cups) on medium high. Remove the chicken from the broth.  Drain the broth. You will get about 3 cups of broth.

Remove the skin and bone from the cooked chicken. I am going to use only ⅔ cup of chicken for porridge and rest for something else: chicken salad or chicken and waffles. Shred ⅔ cup of chicken in small pieces and prepare 5 garlic cloves.

After rice has been in the water for 3 hours, drain the water and add the rice to the broth.

Add the chicken and garlic to the broth. Add 1 tsp of fine sea salt. You can adjust the amount of the salt. Cook it for 25 to 30 minutes until the rice is cooked. The first 20 minutes is on medium high, and then simmer until it is finished. Occasionally stir it so that the rice will not burn and stick to the bottom of the pan. Put some chopped green onions on top to garnish. Depending on your taste, you can drizzle a little bit of sesame oil on it before serving, but I like to skip sesame oil since I want to taste the natural chicken and garlic flavor.

Luca’s GOOD Family Recipe

This meal used to be a typical Sunday menu prepared by my mother (Luca’s maternal grandmother) who was busy working six days a week. Often the ingredients would be sent or brought from the country-side where her parents, my grandparents lived and raised a few poultry and goats in the garden. They lived an almost self-sufficient lifestyle, producing their vegetables, corn, potatoes, meat and eggs by themselves. Therefore the food ingredients were very carefully used and the dishes were lovingly prepared and consumed. Poftă bună ! Bon appétit!

Teodora’s Family RecipeThis is a typical Croatian recipe that our family often makes in both winter and summer because it’s so good. The whole family enjoys eating it.Zelevi Sarmi (Click here for the original recipe)Ingredients2 tbsp sunflower (olive) oil 1 onion, peeled and finely diced 500g beef (or pork or combination of both), minced150g (1 cup) of any white rice 2/3 cup (150g) medium grain rice, washed and drained 3 tbsp tomato paste 1-2 tsp mild paprika 1 tsp dried peppermint 1 tsp dried savory Salt & freshly ground black pepper 20-30 pickled cabbage leaves (if too large, cut in half)1litre boiling water (or stock) For the tomato salsa (optional, for serving) 4-5 canned tomatoes a sprig of fresh dill 1 tbsp of olive oil salt & pepper to taste MethodHeat oil in a large frying pan (low-medium), add onions and a sprinkling of salt, saute without colouring (for about 5 minutes). Turn heat up, add the minced meat and cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add rice and stir until translucent (2-3 minutes). Add paprika and the tomato paste (diluted with some hot water) and cook for further 2-3 minutes. Then remove from heat and add all the remaining herbs and spices. Allow to cool a little bit so you can handle it. In a large pot, place few cabbage leaves on the base. If the cabbage leaves are too salty, soak in cold water for up to 30 minutes. Drain cabbage leaves before starting to roll them. Place a cabbage leaf on a chopping board with the thickest part closest to you, spoon 2-3 teaspoons of the mix and fold over each edge to form a neat cylinder. While rolling the cabbage leaves try to create a tight sausage-like shape. Place on the bottom of the pot. Continue until all the mix is used up, layering the sarmi (there will be 2-3 layers).When filling and rolling, follow the natural curve of the cabbage leaves. Cover with 2-3 cabbage leaves and lace a large plate on top to hold the sarmi down. Pour boiling water over them and cover. Cover with lid and bring to the boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 30 minutes or until the rice is cooked. While your sarmi are cooking, prepare the tomato salsa: put all ingredients in blender and whizz together. To serve, pour some of the tomato salsa on a serving plate, line 2-3 sarmi and serve. Best served hot with crusty homemade bread.
