I wouldn’t call me a great cooker, but I like to cook once in a while. After all it’s a creative activity, and I enjoy creating stuff.
So, this evening I came up with a funny variation on the classical sausages + rice meal (as I told you, I am not a great cooker). I believe this recipe is totally geek and student friendly.
For two plates, you need:
- 4 sausages (I use Knacki, but it should work with others)
- 1 cup of rice
Recipe:
Pour the cup of rice and two cups of water in a casserole with a pinch of coarse salt. Put on medium heat.
While the rice is cooking, cut the sausages lengthwise, then in two. Each sausage should give you four half cylinders. Now cut each half cylinder in three parts lengthwise to produce thin chips-like shapes.
Put the cut sausages in a frying pan on high heat, stir regularly to make sure all parts are evenly fried. As you do so, you will notice the fun part: the sausages will start to curl, to the point where they look like a half-circle. After one or two minutes, reduce the fire to medium heat.
When the rice has absorbed all the water, poor it in the pan, and mix with the sausages for a while.
You are done! it should look like this:
PS: It’s the first time I write a recipe in english, please ask if something is unclear, and notify me of vocabulary errors.
A similar dish helped me get through two summers living on my own. Definitely geek and student friendly.
Also, the word you are looking for is “pour”, not “poor”.
On the KDE Planet so often we get to see recipes …do you guys happen to use KRecipes and would perhaps make or use a KRecipes recipe exchange server (maybe using KGHNS)?
Looks nice though I think I’d prefer to cook the rice in the rice cooker and not buy it in a glass.
Oh and I guess you mean “pour” and not “poor”.
Fixed the “poor” mistake, thanks.
@Thomas: the “glass” of rice is just my handy way of getting the right amount of rice for two plates, I do not buy rice in glasses either
.
@Matija: I am afraid I don’t cook often enough to make use of KRecipes. I showed it to my wife though, but she likes her hardcopy cookbooks better.
Perhaps you meant “cup” instead of “glass”? A cup is 8 ounces, and is the measure usually given in recipes.
@everettattebury: “cups” sounds good. I replaced “glass” with it, thanks!
“in a casserole”? I never knew the dish a casserole is cooked in is also called a casserole.
interesting.
also, there are a few recipes sitting in a box back in canada that I’d have with me right now if I’d used KRecipe. doh.
@Chani: At least in France, a “casserole” is a dish. Maybe I should have used “sauce pan”. Would it be more appropriate?
I’d probably simply use “pot” instead of “casserole”, but I’m no native English speaker either.
BTW, wouldn’t it be really cool if every KDE (core-)developer offered one or two of his favorite recipes for inclusion into KRecipes, so that when KDE4 launches, we will have some nice recipes from all over the world?
For example, I’d really love to know what Aaron likes to cook

@Darkstar: I am not sure about “pot”, according to wordreference it means “cannabis”. And I can assure you there is no cannabis involved in this recipe
I like the KDE dev recipes idea, you should suggest it to KRecipes developers!
