Lazy apple pie

We are continuing with old traditional recipes. Although I like to experiment and try various world recipes somehow I always get back to our domestic kitchen. I adore food that our grannies use to prepare because I get back to childhood and wish to lift tradition to my kids just like my grandmother did. This recipe exists in my notebook for years. I recognize I haven`t even tried any other recipe for lazy pie because I adore this one and all people who have tasted it were very satisfied with this one. It is pretty easy for preparing and with given quantity of apples is very tasty and juicy.

sugar - 1,5 tea cup                                                                  vanilla sugar - 2 bags
vanilla sugar - 2 bags                                                             dry grapes - 3,5 oz

yogurt - 2 tea cups
oil - 1/2 tea cup
PREPARATION :
Mix the eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar. Add oil and yogurt and mix again. Pour baking powder in flour, mix it and pour into mixture with eggs to unite it. Half of that mixture pour into oiled brass pot and bake it just until crust shows. It should not be finished just to show little bit of crust (become brown). Plane apples and simmer it for a little just to give a juice.
Add dry grapes, vanilla sugar and cinnamon and sugar to taste. Someone likes more and someone doesn`t. All of that place on previously prepared crust and cover it with second half of dough which we didn`t bake. Bake it in a hot oven on 200 degrees for about 40 minutes. Finished lazy apple pie sprinkle with caster sugar and enjoy with an old domestic cake. 

HAVE A NICE MEAL !!!

Chicken with Pastry

It was a few years ago when I first heard for Chicken with Pastry while I was working in a glorious Belgrade restaurant. It was served with turkey instead chicken so I was not amazed with the meal. In few days I was very surprised how many people was interested in turkey with pastry so I had to taste it. Experience was very nice and I felt in love with that delicious food and even I hadn`t notice there was turkey inside. After a while I found pastry in a local marketplace and asked around how could I prepare it. You can buy it wherever can buy any paste (shop or marketplace). I prepare it with chicken on my own and every time I overload my stomach that I can`t breath :-) I know it is not in ladies manner but what can I do when I love them. Pastry dates from Croatia.
 INGREDIENTS:
chicken or turkey fillet - 18 oz
cream for cooking - 2 cups
sour cream - 1 cup
soup cube - 1 cube
mustard - to coat chicken
salt - to taste
oregano or other dry seasoning - to taste
 PREPARATION:
Boil the water and soup cube in a pot then soak the pastry in it (could be broken or in a piece as you wish).
Salt the chicken and coat it with mustard and fry it until it is golden colored. Mix the cream for cooking and sour cream in another pot and cook it until boil. Add oregano to creams.
In a clay pot place the pastry on the bottom and after place the chicken fillet and sauce of creams and all again until everything is consumed. Bake it in oven for one hour. When it is finished let it cool for a while and go for it :-)
HAVE A NICE MEAL !!!
