Well, we don’t want to encourage you to put yourselves in danger. On the contrary, today we’re going to show you how to bring a little vacation to your home without the need for an airplane.

No doubt, delicious food is always great. That’s why we’re showing you three dishes that will make your lunch or dinner a little trip around the world.

We start our journey in Russia

We start our journey in Russia. Our appetizer is already waiting for us here: Okroshka. This is a soup that is served cold.

For this you need the following ingredients (4 servings):

• 400g waxy potatoes
• 4 eggs
• 2 spring onions

• 8 radishes
• 1 bunch of chives
• 1 bunch dill
• 3 tablespoons coarse mustard
• 250g sour cream
• 1l buttermilk
• 1 clove of garlic
• salt
• pepper

And this is how it works:

1. Boil the potatoes as well as the eggs, let cool and peel.
2. Chop the spring onions, cucumber, radish, garlic, chives and dill. Cut the potatoes and eggs into slices.
3. Mix mustard, sour cream and buttermilk to a soup and season with salt and pepper.
4. Now add your chopped ingredients to the soup. Use the dill and chives to garnish the soup.
5. Enjoy.

So freshly strengthened it goes to the next culture: Brazil

South Americans are famous for their meat consumption, so we don’t want to deprive you of that here either. We have feijoada for you. This is a stew that consists of black beans, sausages and pork.

For 4 servings you need this time:

• 250 g black beans
• 1 onion
• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 l water
• 300 g beef goulash meat
• pepper
• 100 g mead loin (smoked)
• 100 g spicy sausage (e.g. chorizo)
• 100 g pancetta
• 200 g rice
• 1 orange

How to make it:

1. Wash the beans thoroughly and let them soak in water overnight.
2. The next day: wash the beans again. Peel and chop the onion and garlic and fry them. Add the beans and the bay leaf and boil everything with 1l of water.
3. Season the meat with a lot of pepper and add it to the beans.
4. Let everything simmer for 1,5h. In the meantime cut the spicy sausage, add it and simmer for another 1,5h.
5. Cut the bacon into small pieces and render it in a pan. Add everything, including the fat, to the pot with the rest of the ingredients and simmer for half an hour.
6. Now you can prepare the rice, wash and cut the orange.
7. Depending on the consistency of the feijoada, you can add some water or flour.
8. Arrange it nicely and serve it with the orange and the rice.
9. Enjoy.

Off to Arabia

To round off the whole thing, of course, the dessert may not be missing. For this we travel to Arabia and enjoy a delicious fried cinnamon bread.

• 1 baguette
• 2-4 eggs
• 500 ml milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• butter
• 120 g sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• Nutmeg

And this is how it works:

1. Cut the baguette into 2cm thick slices.
2. Beat the eggs in a bowl, stir in the milk and vanilla.
3. In another bowl mix the cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg.
4. Now sink the bread slices in the egg milk and then fry.
5. Once it is fried, immediately pour the cinnamon-sugar-nut mixture over it. If you like, you can decorate it with fruits.
6. Enjoy.
