Za rižoto je potrebno:

Ingredients:

250 g gambora

1 manji crni luk

3-4 čena belog luka

1 kašičica granula belog luka

2 šargarepe

3-4 listića sušenih vrganja

malo seckane ljute papričice

4-5 sušenih paradajza

1 svež paradajz

1 šolja belog pirinča (okruglo zrno)

1 konzerva kokosovog mleka, 400 ml

1 kocka za supu, pileća

biber, ruzmarin, seme slačice

maslinovo ulje

seckani peršun za posipanje

250 g shrimps

1 small onion

3-4 garlic cloves

1 teaspoon dried garlic granules

2 carrots

3-4 slices of dried penny bun or other available dried mushrooms

chili peppers, chopped

4-5 slices of sun dried tomatoes

1 fresh tomato

1 cup of plain white rice (medium grain)

 400 ml can coconut milk

1 chicken stock cube

pepper, rosemary, mustard seed

olive oil

fresh parsley

Suve vrganje izmrvite i prelijte ključalom vodom. Izrendajte na sitno šargarepu, sitno iseckajte crni i beli luk, papričicu (po želji), sušeni paradajz, i oljuštite i iseckajte na kockice svež paradajz. Pirinač očistite i operite. Vrganje ocedite, isperite svežom vodom i sitno iseckajte.

Soak dried mushrooms in boiling water. Finely grate the carrots, chop the onion, garlic, chili, sun dried tomatoes, peel and dice the fresh tomato. Drain the mushrooms, rinse and chop. Wash the rice.

U dubokom tiganju na malo maslinovog ulja propržite sitno seckan crni i beli luk, izmrvite kocku za supu, dodajte sušeni paradajz, vrganje, pa gambore, na kratko propržite.

Pour some olive oil in a skillet and briefly stir-fry the onion, garlic, crush the stock cube, add dried tomatoes, mushrooms and finally shrimps.

Dodajte oceđeni pirinač, još malo propržite, dodajte svež paradajz i rendanu šargarepu i sve začine (osim peršuna) pa nalijte kokosovim mlekom. Ostavite da se krčka na najslabijoj vatri, poklopljeno, oko pola sata – dok se pirinač skroz ne skuva, povremeno mešajte i po potrebi dodajte po malo vode. Rižoto treba da bude žitak i sočan, ne sme da se presuši.

Add the drained rice, stir-fry briefly, add the fresh tomato, carrots and all the spices except parsley, and pour the entire can of coconut milk. Let it simmer for approximately half an hour – until the rice is completely cooked. Stir occasionally and add some water when needed. The risotto should be creamy, not dry.

Servirajte posuto svežim seckanim peršunom.

Pour in a plate and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

This soup, quick to prepare, is ideal for cold days and an excellent cure for sore throat. The spiciness can be dosed to taste, and the ingredients may vary.

Sastojci:

Ingredients:

tom yam pasta, 2 kašike

mleveni čili u susamovom ulju (po želji)

susamovo ulje

kocka za supu

komadić rendanog đumbira

glavica belog luka

200 gr gambora

5-6 pečuraka po želji (može i sušenih, ali ih prethodno potopiti)

4 mlade šargarepe

komad praziluka veličine prsta

10ak listića bok-čoija, ili nekog drugog zeleniša

kineske knedlice (dumplings) ili rezanci, pirinčani rezanci... po želji

sok limete

tom yam paste, 2 tablespoons

crushed chili in sesame oil (to taste)

sesame oil

soup cube

a piece of grated fresh ginger

1 garlic

200 g shrimps

5-6 mushrooms, any kind (if using dried, soak them first)

4 baby carrots

a small piece of leek

approx. 10 leaves of bok choi or similar leafy greens

dumplings or noodles, to taste

lime juice

Povrće oprati i oljuštiti. Oprati gambore. Pečurke iseckati na listiće. Šargarepu zaseći po dužini pa iseckati ukoso. Beli luk oljuštiti i izgnječiti. Staviti šerpu na vatru, dodati kašiku susamovog ulja i izgnječeni beli luk. Na kratko propržiti. Dodati tom yam pastu, promešati pa odmah dodati gambore i na kratko propržiti.

Wash and peel the vegetables. Wash the shrimps. Slice the mushrooms. Cut the carrots lengthwise, then slice diagonally. Peel and crush the garlic. Place a pot on the stove, add a tablespoon of sesame oil and the garlic. Fry briefly. Add the tom yam paste, stir and add the shrimps immediately and fry. 

Dodati pečurke, propržiti, ako treba doliti malo vode. Staviti svu seckanu šargarepu, oko pola kašičice čilija u susamovom ulju, ili više po želji, rendani đumbir, kocku za supu, pa sipati oko litar vode.

Add the mushrooms, stir-fry, and add a bit of water if needed. Place all the carrots, approximately ½ teaspoon of chili in sesame oil (or more, to taste), the grated ginger, the soup cube and top with approximately 1 liter of water.

Ovde koristim kineske knedlice koje se kuvaju 10 minuta, tako da ih stavljam odmah u supu. Ako koristite rezance, najbolje je da ih skuvate ili poparite odvojeno i naknadno dodate supi, kako se ne bi prekuvali.

I am using dumplings here which should be cooked for 10 minutes, so I am adding them to the soup immediately. If you are using noodles, boil or steam them separately and add to the finished soup, so as not to overcook them.

Kuvati na tihoj vatri 10 minuta, skinuti sa vatre, dodati bok čoi i tanko seckane kolutiće praziluka, poklopiti i ostaviti da odstoji koji minut.

Simmer for approximately 10 minutes, remove from the stove, add the bok choi and thin slices of the leek, cover and let it rest  for a couple of minutes.

Servirati dok je vruće, po želji začiniti sokom od limete.

Serve while hot, seasoned with lime juice.
