Easy Lettuce and Salted Eggs Salad, that's my post for this week. :)

• olives (optional)
• salt and pepper

dressing:

• extra virgin olive oil
• calamansi juice (you can use lemon)
• salt and pepper

Procedure:

• Place leaves in mixing bowl, then set aside.
• Remove the shells, then slice the egg. Slice the tomatoes, olives and then dump everything together with the leaves. Add salt and pepper, if preferred. I did with mine.

This week's Food Friday player that's going to be featured is...

Chef Win, who blogs over at lamonsakusina with his blog post: Lamb Chops with Honey and White Balsamic Vinegar

I wish that lamb chops are not that expensive around here, but they are. That's why I can only imagine that tasty treat that Chef Win shared with us from his food blog, last week. His blog is relatively new, but he is not a newbie when it comes to cooking; am sure he has more delicious recipes to share with us. If you want to know more about him and his recipes, then click the picture!

I wanted to try Tuyo (Dried Fish, usually salted) Pasta, but I forgot to buy the fish, so this is what I came up with: Mushroom-Olives Spaghetti.

Ingredients

• spaghetti (or your choice of pasta, cooked accdg to package instructions)
• mushrooms, sliced (I used shiitake -which I soaked in water for two hours- since that's what I have, but you can use canned or any other fresh/dried mushrooms that you have available)
• olives (pitted, preferrably; you can use black/green or both)
• all-purpose cream
• salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic, onion, water (as needed)
• malunggay powder (optional), or any other fresh herbs as garnish

some of the ingredients used: all purpose cream, olives, and mushrooms

Procedure

• Set aside the cooked spaghetti, keep warm.
• Heat olive oil in pan and saute the sliced garlic and onion. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft (in my case it took around twenty minutes and I had to add a bit of the water where I soaked it).
• Add the sliced olives (you might want to add in olive oil) and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour in cream and add water (I used the water where I soaked my mushrooms) until you get the consistency that you want.
• Add pasta and cook over low heat for around half a minute then turn off the heat.
• Transfer on a plate and sprinkle with a bit of the malunggay powder (which is optional). Or you may opt to add parsley or any other fresh herbs, instead.
• Best eaten warm.

I forgot that my eldest wasn't so much into olives (he loves mushrooms, though) so he ate sparingly while my youngest loved it! Yes, he LOVES olives. lol. Me too. :D

My food post for today is something simple and light: Spinach Fettuccine with Chicken and Olives.

Ingredients used:

• spinach fettuccine
• chicken breast fillets (marinated then cut into medium sized cubes)
• olives (I used black)
• olive oil, butter, cheese (cheddar)
• salt, pepper, tomatoes and garlic (diced)
• toasted sesame seeds (optional)

olives, tomatoes, garlic, and marinated chicken breast

My procedure:

• Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Set aside.
• Heat olive oil in pan, then add a bit of butter. Dump in the cubed breast fillets. Stir occasionally, then add pepper, salt.
• Add the diced garlic and tomatoes; after a few minutes add the olives.
• Dump everything on the cooked fettuccine. Mix.
• You may add some more olive oil if it looks dry.
• Top with cheese and sesame seeds (optional).

My plate, minus the cheese

It was a nice snack; both my sons and I liked it. But I would have liked it more if I added a bunch of fresh basil leaves! ^_^
