Happens often, that a lonely man (not necessarily "straw widower”) would like to receive guests in his home. In addition to complete culinary antitalents. Most men try to come up with something in such cases. I don't mean these, who cook first-class and can corner even experienced cooks. You know, that almost every man makes a contender, at least in your own imagination, he can be called a gourmet or at least an experienced expert in cuisine, and only his enormous workload prevents him from practicing. However, if he has the time and the right opportunity…
exactly, then it comes to light quite often, that it is not really known, how long is the rice cooked, When should you take the chicken out of the oven and why is the meat tough after even long stewing?. I am not going to give you detailed advice here, because I don't know, What difficult problems do straw widowers most often encounter - but I will give you a few dishes, which almost every man can cook without any special risk and laboriousness. It won't be dinner, which requires more experience and leaves behind a pile of dirty pots and plates (which of the gentlemen likes to wash up), but something small.
It is best to choose the evening time for such a male party, when one solid dish and dessert or even a cake brought from a pastry shop are enough.
One of the signature dishes for men may be the Hungarian "aleo” described by Wojciech Żukrowski in Kamienna tablets. Mr. Wojciech Żukrowski - a great expert in cuisine - gives the recipe there, which I tried (out of curiosity, not mistrust). "Letcho” is being prepared by his hero, Istvan Terey, Hungarian, for supper, to eat at home with a woman. I consider this situation a sufficient recommendation. Different, interesting for this circumstance, the dish is curry chicken, recommended by well-known journalist Daniel Passent. The recipe and the author's commentary are quoted verbatim. I tried it, I strongly encourage you to prepare it, especially, with little effort we have and soup, and the main course, that is, a complete lunch or a sumptuous dinner…
Other suggestions include braised chickens with various additions, meat with vegetables and spicy toppings, all kinds of spaghetti, e.g.. with tomato sauce. Here's a note - a real Italian tomato sauce, yet it is he who is supposed to be the “nail” program, is prepared for no less than 2 hours, prepared the day before, unfortunately it loses its taste.
