La canción de la semana #9

Yes, yes, the time has come. By "popular" demand, now for something almost completely familiar: Bamboleo. Not the Gypsy Kings version, but the one by Fania All Stars, with vocal by Celia Cruz!

¿Qué tiempo hace?

Some basic science of tormentas eléctricas. And from the Tiempo Severo en España website, Atlas de Nubes.

Una receta "vegan", sana y muy sabrosa

Tofu, Pina y Espinacas

1) De compras
Se necesita: 250gr de tofu
1 lata pequena de pina en zumo natural
1 diente de ajo
1 trozo pequeno de jengibre
1/4 de chili rojo (sin semillas)
500gr de espinacas frescas
arroz a su gusto para acompanar

2) Preparacion (10 minutos)
Hay que lavar bien las espinacas 2-3 veces.
Corte el tofu en cuadritos 2cm+2cm
Abre la lata (desde luego!)
Pique el ajo con el jengibre peleado y el chili rojo
Mientras, ponga el arroz al fuego lento para concinarlo

3) Cocinar la receta (5-7 minutos)
Fria el ajo, jengibre y chili en aceite de oliva hasta se dore un poco. Mejor que se usa una olla grande o un "wok" para eso.
Anade el tofu y continue freir. Cuando el tofu este dorado, anada las espinacas, deben esta cocinadas en 2-3 minutos, tapadas.
Finalmente, anada la lata de pina con el zumo, continue concinar tapado unos minutos al fuego lento.

4) Presentar el plato
Para servir, ponga una racion de arroz concinado y ponga el tofu con espinacas encima. Muy sabrosa!!

Que aproveche!
