[Tatyana]

Tatyana, I dare to suggest my recipes
I understand that 2 peasants need hearty, cheap, but very quick recipes.
Maybe what will work?
Meat from "Lazy hostess"
Liver cutlets with potatoes
And today I wrote a quick and non-tricky recipe in the Gazebo. If you replace the cream with sour cream, it will still be cheaper. I made such baskets for my husband's work. He doesn’t recognize any jars and dishes to take away with him. Delicious and satisfying!

celfh, Tatyan, remind your friend the recipe for 500 gr. any meat (chicken, pork ....) finely chop (up to 1 cm), 200 g of mayonnaise, 3 - 4 tbsp. tablespoons of starch (or flour, finely chop 2-3 onions, 2 raw eggs ...

If you add raw potatoes grated on a coarse grater here, you will have a cool crust, the amount of minced meat will greatly increase, and the dish will also be much cheaper.

Red lentil soup.

Galyun, our Ukrainian men, how will the price of red lentils look more accustomed to pea soups

, our Ukrainian men, how they look at the price of red lentils more accustomed to pea soups

Well, how do I know what your men are looking at, and what not ..? Maybe those from another "cooperative" ..

Well, yes, yes, you are more of a specialist in foreign peasants

[celfh]

celfh, for some reason I was thinking, do the peasants need the recipes or will your friend cook them herself?

When I was renovating, the most common cabbage rolls helped out a lot. I added a lot of half-boiled rice to the minced meat and fried onions with carrots. No raw onions were added.
Then everything is as usual.

[celfh]

celfh, Tatyana, 2 months is a considerable period, it seems to me better to make a list of the products available and the preferences of the guests and then start drawing up a sample menu. Men of course want meat !!! Sometimes fish! To make it more economical, you can boil broth, which is useful for borscht or soup, you can take out the meat from it and make a meat dish. Prepare frying of onions and carrots, a couple of tablespoons of flour, tomato paste and add diced meat, simmer a little. Garnish - mashed potatoes, buckwheat porridge, pasta, rice. For variation, you can stick dumplings, dumplings. Drinks - tea, coffee, compote. Dessert - charlotte, sometimes cake.

Vegetable soup * Spring lazy * in a multicooker Redmond RMC-02.On dried vegetables.

Buckwheat porridge with butter, onions and eggs. Quite simple. Men's.

Raw * pizza *

Potatoes baked in a pan, whole, in their uniform. Delicious. Simply.

Stuffed aromatic peppers

Fried potatoes with meat lobes. Fast. Simply .

Pork with onion sauce

Jam pie in the Princess 115000 pizza maker. Fast. Delicious.

Dessert - charlotte, sometimes cake.

I have a branded budget dessert, but so far without a photo, so it is not included in the recipe book.
Copying my post from another topic:

I like baked goods that are not very sweet / rich, so my muffin is simple and unpretentious, almost dietary, I make it all the time, but it does not get boring at all and after "aging" in the refrigerator it only becomes tastier.
I alternate the dark version with cocoa, then the light one with poppy seeds.
I am sorry to "kill" sour milk with baking, so I usually bake everything on curd whey.
Measuring glass 250 ml.

Manna-herculean cake with citrus zest (candied fruit):

1 glass of whey (can be replaced with kefir / yogurt)
1 cup semolina
1 glass of rolled oats
100 ml sugar (not grams)
2-3 st. l. vegetable oils (if you are not too lazy to melt, then you can also creamy)
1 egg
1 tsp soda and 0.5 tsp. citric acid (can be replaced with baking powder, but I don't use it)
0.5 tsp salt
2 tbsp. l. dry poppy or 2 tbsp. l. cocoa powder
zest and / or candied fruit to taste (1-2 tbsp. l.)

Pour poppy seeds, rolled oats and dry zest with whey and let stand for an hour, then add the rest of the ingredients, except for soda and acid, let stand for more, but no more than an hour, otherwise the semolina will "grind" and the cake will turn out to be sticky, but should be wet and crumbly.
Add soda and acid to the dough, mix thoroughly (soda and lemon will meet and foam a little) and pour into a mold.
I bake in a glass tray with a volume of 1.2 liters (the dough will turn out to be 2/3 forms, then it rises by a third), on the "biscuit" program for 40 minutes, after the end of the program I leave it in the oven for another half hour, then the cake will brown well on top ...
Output of the finished product is about 800 g.

PS
Tangerine zest is more suitable for the "chocolate" version (dry or fresh - no difference), such a New Year and Christmas combination; and in a light poppy seed freshly cut lemon peel sounds very lively, sunny and tender (I cut it off a whole lemon with a vegetable peeler and cut it into small strips).

Instead of zest, you can flavor it with vanilla and diversify it with any additives: raisins, fried nuts, candied pineapple, etc., but even without these flavorings, the cake turns out to be very edible.

[celfh]

celfh, Tatyana, pork liver is inexpensive, you can cook it in different ways: fried, and with gravy, and pancakes.
pancakes and pancakes with kefir, you can take it at the end of the expiration date, at a discount, buy cheese for pizza there, too satisfying.
Roast potatoes with meat or minced meat with onions and carrots.

Girls, my employee needs recipes. She will periodically cook for her father and his friend, she has no extra money, of course, and she doesn't have much time, her daughter goes to school. And men live in a rented apartment, separately.
Girls, thank you so much. If you still remember anything, write

Buckwheat with chicken in a pot (kseniya D)

It is very good to cook in multi.

[celfh]

celfh, Tan, just saw a comment on her recipe. I ask you, tell your friend if she cooks: DO NOT NEED RAW POTATOES. These will no longer be cutlets, but some kind of "half-potatoes". With potatoes, you can make a large cutlet for the whole frying pan by mixing it with MINCES. A casserole type. Also time saving. And this recipe makes sense in small pieces "wrapped" in dough or almost dough. There are so many of them!

[eta-007]

eta-007, tastes could not be discussed.

[Tanya-Fanya]

Tanya-Fanya, Agree, Tan

[Crown]

Crown, prepared a manna according to your recipe. It is very tasty! Thanks for the recipe.

[DuNika]

DuNika, I am very glad that you liked it!

And I like lazy cabbage rolls
minced meat, half-cooked rice, finely chopped cabbage
in my opinion there are a couple of eggs.shape like cutlets
fry over high heat, as if lightly fry
and then stew in the sauce
(at home there should be proportions, in the evening I will correct the recipe)

[salad]

I have one more salad branded (that is, simple and extremely fast) under the code name "nautical": a pack of crab sticks 200 g, three boiled eggs, a jar of seaweed "Far Eastern salad" 250 g and a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise.
Grate the eggs on a coarse grater, cut the sticks into small cubes, add m. Cabbage and season with mayonnaise, you can use it immediately.
Cabbage in jars comes in an oil-vinegar filling, I usually drain it, because I have my own delicious mayonnaise with lemon juice, but in the absence of mayonnaise, you can add a little vegetable oil to this filling and season our salad, and a little fried sesame or sunflower seeds (they are always available from bakers) will add spice to the salad.

[Selyanka salad]

Delicious, light and economical salad.
Selyanka salad
4-5 hard boiled eggs
3 medium boiled carrots
a bunch of green onions
mayonnaise to taste
salt, black pepper to taste
Cut the carrots into small cubes. Mash the eggs with a mashed potato crush. Finely chop the green onion with a knife.
Mix everything, season with mayonnaise to taste, salt and pepper

I liked Temka herself. thanks for lazy, quick recipes.

[salad]

Another of its salad I will share, it is everyday, plain, as true, but useful - carrots and black radish are taken in approximately equal proportions, rubbed on a grater with the smallest straws (this is important!) and seasoned with any sauce (mayonnaise, sour cream, oil with vinegar or lemon juice), I dress with mayonnaise , diluted with soy sauce - and that's it, the salad is ready. You can add pepper, greens (I usually have dill and parsley, less often cilantro or leeks), and, as always, fried sesame or sunflower seeds will give a zest to any salad.
You can eat right away, soak and insist there is nothing.

Earlier, in Soviet times, there were no special delights and we often made a salad of bitter radish, but for some reason it was customary to rub it coarsely, the salad turned out to be vigorous, the grated mass had to first be "weathered" from the extra spiciness.
However, in finely grated radish, bitterness is very organically diluted with the sweetness of carrots, and both tastes seem to neutralize and complement each other, like hot and cold water, when mixed, becomes pleasant warm water.
