Cabbage Rolls With Beef And Chickpeas

I love cabbage rolls. I love them most with minced meat. I also love chickpeas and hummus. I was about to make some hummus today, but friends from Israel brought me some from there. That's why I had some ready boiled chickpeas and I needed to do something with it. I really didn't have any idea, but I remind myself I have some cabbage leaves in the fridge. So I made something new and not traditional. The combination of pickled cabbage, minced beef meat and chickpeas is very tasty and believe e you need to try it. There it is what you'll need:

Зелеви сърми с нахут и кайма

Обичам зелеви сърмички. Най-много ги обичам с кайма. Обичам и нахут, и хумус... Затова си и бях сварила малко, за да си спретна малко хумус, но същия ден приятели от Израел ме изненадаха с две кутии хумус, които ми донесоха от там. Затова нахутът си остана излишен и се чудих какво точно да направя с него, но хладното време, зелевите листа в хладилника и добра приятелка ме убедиха да пробвам нещо ново и нестандартно. А и се получи нещо наистина вкусно. И така ето необходимите продукти:

Onion soup

There it is! The first snow for this winter is a fact and I have the honor to enjoy the nice view of Vitosha Mountain from my window.

The cold weather outside makes me hungry for something warm and tasty. That's why today I want to share with you one of my favorite recipes for soup. I'll be honest with you. I was very, very skeptical about this kind of soup, but as a typical food lover, my curiosity was stronger so I tried it.  My boyfriend loves it so much, he wants me to cook it once a week. I did small research and read many recipes, but in the end I did this.

4 - 5 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
100 ml white wine
1 liter beef or vegetable broth
2 bay leaves
thyme
salt
white pepper
Emmental cheese
Toasted bread slices

Directions:

1. Cut the onion in thin crescent slices and put it in a pot together with the butter and the olive oil. Cook until soft and slightly caramelized.

2. Add the wine, spices and the broth. Cook another 20 minutes.

3. Serve hot with shredded Emmental cheese inside and toasts.

Лучена супа

И така, първият сняг вече е факт и дори имам честа да се любувам на леко побеляла Витоша. 

От този студ навън на човек му се прияжда нещо топло и вкусно, затова днес ще ви представя една любима рецепта в къщи. В началото бях много скептична към този вид супа, но любопитството у мен надделя, както и фактът, че моят приятел просто я обожава. И така след не много дълго ровене за рецепта направих това.

Е, дойде й времето на тази рецепта... Имам я от мама, която пък я има от някой вече поне 10 години.
