Sunday state of mind

A sunday of the good variety. After a couple of days of rain and moodiness, the sun is emerging. Outi and Tekla went to church, leaving me - the atheist -, and Iivari - the infant -, to maintain the fort. There is a pleasant scent in the air as the "Mantere sunday turkey" is cooking in the oven.

The Mantere Sunday Turkey (the recipe was probably stolen somewhere)

- Take a kilogram of turkey fillet and put it in an oven pot ("uunivuoka")
- chop a few unions, a green apple and carrots, as well as a few cloves of garlic into chunks and add into the pot
- add some rosemary and green pepper
- mix some buillion ("lihaliemi", not sure I have spelled it right) and calvados and pour atop of the filled and vegetables
- put into an oven, cook in 150 celsius until the turkey is heated up to 77 celsius

Coconut rice

- boil yasmin rice following the instructions in the pack, except that replace a half of the amount of water with coconut milk
- offer a separate plate of minced red chili for those family members not breastfeeding

Sauce

- fry a few tablespoons of crushed hazelnuts in a saucepan
- add 2 dl of low fat cream
- add 2 dl of the broth from the finished turkey
- boil until you are satisfied with the viscosity
- serve immediately
