if a dinner can be an urban legend...

this* could be it... it is a very simple dinner made out of minced beef, garlic, curry (I like to use red curry paste, but ordinary curry powder can do), grated carrots, finely sliced leeks, salt and pepper. it is served with (brown) rice, and yoghurt and mango chutney on top... to be honest it is the topping that makes the dish, so don't skip this. since I made this for the first time, about three years ago, it has been a regular in my kitchen... it is a great combination of taste and textures and can be done in the time it takes to boil the rice (i.e. about 20 min. if you don't go for brown rice).

* in Denmark this dish is known as "Skramsgaderetten", i.e. it is named after a street that is named after naval hero Peder Skram.

sunday dinner

fortunately the lack of grocery shopping didn't also include shopping for our Sunday dinner... we had panfried pork tender loin cut and wrapped in a thin slice of bacon with a potato salad on the side.
the pork tender loin I cut in appropriate slices, wrapped bacon around, secured it with a cocktail stick, seasoned with paprika, salt and freshly ground pepper and fried them in a pan (bacon down first). for the potato salad I used a good portion of fresh spinach, an avocado, green beans, potatoes good olive oil, salt and pepper. I boil the potatoes till they are just tender, give the green beans a quick boil too, and while both potatoes and green beans are still hot I add them to a bowl where the spinach, avocado, olive oil, salt and pepper are waiting for company...
