"For those who don't have a lot of time to cook, but do enjoy a self prepared meal. I "created" this recipe by mixing 2 recipes and omitting things that I don't really like and adding things that feature alot in my meals. Easy to clean up too."

Serves:: 2

ingredients

¹⁄₂ teaspoon sambal oelek
200 ml cream (whole milk might work too)
2 whole red onions or 1 leek, plant
3 slices smoked salmon
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon olive oil
¹⁄₂ cup brandy (e.g. Cognac, Calvados, Grand Marnier.... or Sherry) (optional)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

directions

Cut the onions in rings (or slice the leek in small rings). Cut - or rip apart with your fingers - the smoked salmon in smaller pieces. Size does not matter, I like it chunky :).
Heat the butter or olive oil in a saucepan and bake the onions/leek until they're golden-brown (add garlic if desired).
Pour cream, sambal oelek and tomato puree in the saucepan and keep stirring for 2 minutes.
Add the alcohol to the saucepan (optional). (I usually add on sight and use more than 1 cup, but not all people like liquor the way I do). Stir for 1/2 minute. Add salmon and stir for 1 more minute. Done!
Prepare pasta according to description on package. Pour sauce over pasta, decorate with fresh herbs and serve with a glass of white wine.

my father once told me 2 things on a wise november morning. 1) "of all the things i learned at the university, cooking has been the most useful" 2)"always watch the direction of the wind whilst peeing" so, me and my brother gradually evolved into cooking beings. it started out on a small scale. i baked omelettes when i was 7, made my first spaghetti (not out of a can, but with all fresh ingredients) when I was 8. It is a Flemish thing to enjoy life and to enjoy your meals. Over the past few years i cooked for my parents during my vacations and they love it! I think i specialize in deserts because I live in the land of chocolate and beer. My hobbies are snowboarding, mountainbiking, cooking, playstation gaming and going out with fellow students.
