Mayonnaise

You probably know that mayonnaise is not very healthy food. It is because it contains lot of fat in it. I usually wouldn't give you recipe for something unhealthy, but here is exception, cause if you are mayonnaise lover, making it yourself can be good for your health. That is because this way you will avoid all chemical preservatives, and of course you will use extra virgin olive oil that is good for your health. There is a lot of ways to make mayonnaise, and when i am making regular mayo, this one is my choice no 1. The reason why this is my first choice is to dirt as less dishes as possible.
No1.
So lets begin by taking an clean glass jar. Break two eggs and put them in. Squeeze half of lemon to add freshness to it or add vinegar what ever you like better. Pinch of salt and black pepper goes in and table spoon of mustard. Pour with 500ml of olive oil. The oil will be up, the eggs will remain on the bottom of the jar. Take hand blender and blend the eggs first at the bottom of the jar. It is very important to blend the eggs first! No meter what don't pull the blender up. Keep your arm steady until you mix eggs to yellow creamy texture. Then slowly start moving blender up, spreading the mixture up until you reach the top. Now everything should be blended, if you didn't mess something up :) You can now mix for few times up and down with the hand blender to make mixture even. Close the jar with a lid and there you go!!!
No2.
If you find this way difficult there is other way: Take regular blender. Add two eggs, squeeze half of lemon to add freshness to it or add vinegar what ever you like better. Pinch of salt, black pepper and table spoon of mustard. Start the blender. After 30 seconds you can start pouring olive oil very slowly till you put 500 ml of olive oil in. Turn the blender of and enjoy!!!

Goulash with Hitmans Dumplings

Goulash is Hungarian traditional dish. Perfect for cooking outdoor, by the river, outside in the nature, picnic. Great replacement for BBQ. I cook it usually outside. It requires long cooking and boiling for an hours but it is not difficult to prepare. Meanwhile grab some cold beer, pick some good friends and have fun!
Ingredients:
Beef Round 400g
Pork 200g
Bacon (few very thin slices)
Onion 5p (medium size)
Garlic 1p
Carrot 5p (medium size)
Tomato Juice 250ml
Tomato 1p
Chili Pepper 1pour
Paprika 1p
Paprika Powder
Cognac
Bay Leaf
Parsley
Baking soda 
Olive Oil
Preparing: 
Chop onion and garlic. Split carrot and cut slice it. Cut meat into small cubes and season it with salt and pepper. Chop bacon very thinly. Tomato, chili pepper and paprika shredded all together and mix it with tomato juice some salt and some pepper. Keep that mixture a side for now. 
Put deep pot onto medium heat. Olive oil in. After few seconds add onion, garlic, carrot and bacon. I add bacon only to give that beautiful flavor to goulash. Cook it for about half hour and stir every few minutes. After 30 minutes it should release all juices from veggies. Add splash of cognac and teaspoon of baking powder and stir. It will help your veggies to fall apart and create paste. Make hole in the middle, where the most of the heat is and put meat in. Stir it for few minutes until cook it evenly. Add three tablespoons of paprika powder and stir. Pour previously prepared mixture, add bay leaf and parsley. After it boils, pour two liters of water in and bring it to boil again. At this point there is no stir anymore. Just live it to cook for about two hours. Good goulash needs to be cooked long time.
Meanwhile Hitmans Dumplings:
You will need:
Egg
Bread Crumbs
Flour
Milk
Parsley (chopped)
Whisk an egg. Add 3 tablespoons of bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons of flour. Splash of milk. Sprinkle some parsley and season with salt and pepper. Make mixture similar to dough.
When your goulash is done cooking,make very small dumplings using two teaspoon technique and drop them in. Cook it for about 10 more minutes. The dumplings will soak some sauce and make goulash more densely.
Serving:
Serve it in a bawl or deep plate. Sprinkle some parsley on top. You would not need bread or something like that because of hitmans dumplings. Enjoy!
