Maybe you already know about Maggi Idea Papyrus® but we were in it’s presentation only a month ago. It’s something new. We already tried it with chicken breast – my family liked it a lot. Today I prepared in papyrus pork medallions. It was very good too, just next time I will make flat stake per serving, because I had some trouble flipping half baked pork medallions in papyrus (I put three medallions in one papyrus).
Next to the pork medallions I served some healthy salads which I saw yesterday in one of my magazines. It was simple and almost everything was already in my refrigerator. We enjoyed them a lot, even my kids ate them (with some motivation – some candies in front of them, which were kids if they eat all salads). Me and my hubby agreed that these salads would be grate even without meat, because roasted sunflower seeds were so good in these salads. So we’ll be making them soon for sure again.

- Put prepared meat with papyrus in a preheated pan (no oil) and bake from both sides for 5 minutes on a medium heat.
- Preparing healthy salads:
- Cut Iceberg lettuce and put in a bowl. Add spinach and arugula. You can cut them too but it’s really optional.
- Grate or finely dice cucumber and carrot. Add them and chopped dills to the bowl.
- In a clean pan roast sunflower seeds. Mix time after time. When they will start to brown and smell nicely – it’s ready. Let cool and pour over salads.

Layered salads with minced meat
This salads are quick and easy to prepare. We made them a couple of times last year, and remembered this year too. Although salad photo in a plate is not so good, but it taste very good anyway 😉
Baked chicken salads
Very delicious and satisfying salads. Especially we liked that bell pepper is baked not fresh. I prepared these salads not once and tried with iceberg salad, and with salads form our garden (salads, rucola, sorrel). Every time it was perfect! And depending on vegetables amount you can prepare this salads for 6 or for 3 people. It’s up to you 🙂
Maybe not the real ones but really tasty kibinai
I must confess – I have never ate the real kibinai ? But this weekend we had some guests who likes kibinai a lot, and they said that these kibinai are very good (kibinai also agreed with guests “cause they disappeared from the plate very fast ? )
Buns with bacon
We don’t eat smoked bacon with onions and bread often, just sometimes 🙂 But after visiting family in farm we got a big cut of smoked bacon. So I baked buns with bacon. I just love them, but my hubby don’t. Anyway, I baked and froze a lot of buns, so now I have snack or breakfast for a long time:)
Minced meat, onions and caraway seeds stew
This stew doesn’t require much of your time, it just needs time to braise. I think freshly baked buns would be perfect here, but I had no time for them, so we ate with white bread. Original recipe calls for a lot more caraway, but I adjusted the amount for my family taste. Also be careful with the salt if using stock or you can end up with too salty stew (as I do sometimes 🙂 ).
