Living as a single guy in Copenhagen, i try the best i can to eat well. Varied, healthy and home cooked. But often i buy a pizza. I try to buy something with meat on it, just to get some proteine.
My question to you all is, if you cook your own food, what kind of stuff is it? Give me some recipes!
Something easy to do, healthy, tasty and spicy.
I just made some pasta with garlic, spinach, piri piri (dried chilli mixture). Something i invented myself.

jeg skal ikke sige at jeg kender stedet.
ellers er flanksteak jo også super-nice, med de rigtige krydderier osv.. ikke specielt svært at lave på en pande osv. og så kan du jo spise lidt kogte kartofler til med en god sovs. se dét er deluxe.

heres a killer
you need tomatoes, garlic, chilli, linguine, spinach, and prawns.
anytime before making dinner, quarter the tomatoes, hit them with salt, oil, and any dried herbs, and dry them out in the oven at 130C
also before dinner, pre cook the linguine until it is almost aldente.
now for dinner, chop up a good amount of garlic (4 cloves?) and as much chilli as you like.
sautee off the garlic and chilli in the pan until the garlic gets a bit of colour on it. the oil in the pan will be infused with a kickass flavour
turn the heat right up and turn the linguine, prawns, spinach, and dried tomatoes in this pan until the prawns are cooked (which wont take long). also add in a bit of salt and pepper and serve it up!

Sometimes I just fry various meat and vegetables together, and then add some liquid (sauce, crushed tomatoes, dairy products etc.). It usually turns out decent.
I love curries and often buy these curry spice mixes where you add meat, vegatables and the appropriate liquid. It would've been fun making indian dishes from scratch, but they usually require about a million different ingredients.
In the working days I usually eat at the school's cafeteria, which has a really cheap "course of the day" for 25 kr
Really easy chili con carne: Fry up a packet of minced meat. Add a tin of crushed tomatoes in chili sauce, a tin of beans in chili sauce, additional spices and other optional ingredients (onions, corn etc.)
Let it simmer for a few minutes.

Here's a good healthy recipe, although it isn't amazing... I still like it, though...
You need two pans, one big enough to boil pasta in, the other one slightly bigger.
First of all, get some garlic (a few cloves, whatever, to taste), chop it up fine.
In the small pan, put a load of water in, a few drops of olive oil, and some salt. When it boils, stick a load of wholewheat pasta in, enough for whoever you're cooking for (this serves 3-5 people)...
When that's boiling, put some olive oil into the bottom of the big pan (one tablespoon or so), set it to a low heat and chuck the garlic in (gotta be low or it'll burn and fuck everything up). Make sure to move em about so they don't burn. Open two cans of chicken broth (okay, high in salt but this meal is good for ya), pour them in, put in a pinch or two of some oregano and parsley, then add frozen spinach (this should be in blocks, put three in), broccoli (couple of handfuls) and frozen pepper strips (another two handfuls, if you can't get these cut a pepper up, it'll taste much nicer too). Add some salt... then cook on a low heat because you don't want it to boil too much, but keep bashing the spinach with a wooden spoon because it takes a while to warm up...
And that's it! Drain the pasta, tumble into a bowl, then spoon some of the rest on. Bon appetit!
I know a couple of stir fry recipes that are phenomenal too, but not from memory... will post if I can be arsed. And the stir fries are spicy, so I guess you'll love them...

Have you ever considered how popeye is really about american ideals + american battle for oil in the middle east?
Popeye is a sailor, in a way thats archtypical american. Sailing was the only way to get to America in the beginning. He uses his willpower, determination and a healthy life style to aspire to the american dream. He overcomes his obstacles in an admirable way.
His nemesis is Bluto. Bluto is a big middle eastern type looking guy (he even has a full grown beard. Many people who practise islam thinks its proper to grow a full beard, out of respect for mohammed)
And why are they battling each other? A female character named Olive. as in olive OIL

I cheated a bit. It's what i remember from an article my brother once wrote, that should prove that it's possible to see conspiracies in everything.
He also made one about how the cosby show represents the whole world as we now it (Cosby/Cosmos)
I cant remember it in detail, but he really made it make sense.

This is a nice stir fry that I found in a copy of Men's Fitness... they fucked it up though (ingredients not used, stuff in the recipe that wasn't in the ingredients.. twats), but I've done this a few times and it works well (you can mess around with some ingredients anyway) - it tastes fantastic, too:
Ingredients: 250g rump steak, cut into strips (you can add more, may as well go for a pound)
1 tsp cornflour 2 tbsp light soy sauce (make it dark if you want) 2 tbsp peanut oil (fuck that, just get any old oil) 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped (put some more in) 1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped 1 onion, finely chopped 1 red pepper, cut into chunks same with a yellow pepper a jar of black bean sauce (the recipe says 120ml, but if you get what I can get it's only slightly more than that, so chuck it all in)
1 tbsp sherry (leave this out if you want) pinch of ground black pepper Enough noodles (medium or fine) as you want
Recipe: Heat a saucepan full of water and add a few drops of oil. Mix the beef with the cornflour and soy sauce in a jug. Heat an empty wok until it smokes, then add half the oil and all the jug contents and fry for five mins (medium heat, or until the beef's sealed, whatever). Drain and stash it on a plate (the soy sauce will have stuck to the beef now, mmm). Put the rest of the oil in the wok and add the garlic, chili and onion... stir for one minute before adding the peppers and stirring for a minute again. At this point (or maybe a minute before) stick the noodles in the pan full of boiling water, keep breaking them up and stirring. Add the black bean sauce and sherry. Season with salt and pepper, then cook for one minute. Add the beef and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Sieve the noodles and add the rest.
The chili and black bean sauce give it a nice oomph. Reminds me of a couple more good recipes I have, although they aren't necessarily quick or spicy... might post em anyway.

Okay, here goes... take a while to prepare it, but it's worth it... it's also a fairly expensive dish due to the steak, but if you really like this girl I'm sure that's not an issue. I'm copying the recipe down but I'll explain everything because you say you're an amateur at this. It may sound patronising but I want you to get this right for your chick. This is called Griddled Steak with Pepper Medley by the way. Oh yeah, you'll need to prepare the steak the night before. This may look difficult but as long as you get everything prepared first, it's easy, trust me.
Ingredients.
For the steak and marinade:
- 4 pieces of rump steak (150g/5oz each - of course can be different - this is supposed to serve four though so you can get away with two, or three if you're hungry. Anything left over you can heat up and have later anyway) - cut all the fat off with a decent knife
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed (first cut the bottom off and peel the skin off, then use a garlic crusher, if you haven't got one, crush one with the blade of a knife horizontally (push your left hand palm over the garlic) and slice away. The best way to cut veg is to get a knife vertically, put your left hand over the end of the blade so it nestles in your palm in a way the knuckles can curl down it, and keep pushing up and down with your right hand, push down with your left hand to stabilise it, keep whacking at it, push it all together, and repeat again and again...)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 200ml/7 fl oz red wine (any cheap shit) 2 tablespoons clear honey
For the relish:
2 red onions, peeled (chop the top off, peel off the top layer or two off the onion with your fingers, then slice the rooty end off)
1 small cooking apple, peeled and cored (use a potato peeler to take the skin off, then slice it four ways just by the core, turning 90 degrees each time so the core isn't there anymore)
1 tablespoon soft brown sugar (AKA demerara sugar)
For the medley:
2 tablespoons olive oil

3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped )you can get away with crushing these, but just follow the instructions above)
1 red onion, peeled and cut into wedges (do as above, but then slice in half, take both halves and slice again, then slice horizontally if you want, 90 degrees to how you did it before)
1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into wedges (hold a pepper vertically, and slice around the inside four times round the core at a ninety degree angle, like the apple - then scoop the seeds out. Eat the rest of the pepper, it's nice! Slice the four parts lengthways and horizontally)
1 yellow pepper (same) 1 orange pepper (same) salt and ground black pepper (kitchen staples)
To serve:
New potatoes, just boil those in salted water (NO oil) for as long as it says on the packet.
Method.
Heat up the oven on a very low heat, starter heat will do, if your oven doesn't have that then the lowest heat, gas mark 1/4 or whatever. This is to keep things warm later.
Steaks and marinade: 1) Place the rump steaks between two sheets of greaseproof paper (you can use any paper really, though) and bash them to fuck with a spiky meat mallet - this is so the garlic sticks but if you ain't got a meat mallet you could prod repeatedly with a fork. Rub the crushed garlic over the steaks and place them in a dish that can hold em. Blend the vinegar, 150ml/quarter pint or the red wine, and all the honey. Pour this over the steaks. Cover with cling film (best) and leave to marinade. You can leave this for 30 mins if you want but marinading's always best overnight so the steak absorbs the flavour properly.
Relish: 2) Put the cooking apple and the red onions in a blender or food processor. If you have a blender you can pick it up and jiggle it up and down at angles, if you have a food processor then stick a wooden cooking spoon in the vent to knock the stuff that ain't processed back into the mix to get sliced up nice, but DON'T push the wooden spoon in too far or the blades will slice it to pieces. And wood in r

And wood in relish ain't good... 3) Take the mixture and place in a saucepan with the brown sugar and the rest of the red wine, bring it to the boil (when it starts to bubble), drop the heat down when it starts to do this, when it's at a low heat but still bubbles that's means it's simmering, do this for 10-15 mins or until it reaches a chutney like consistency. Stash it in the oven.
Medley: 4) Heat the oil in a non stick frying pan/saucepan, on a low heat, when it starts to get hot (say, just as it starts to give off smoke), add the onions and peppers. Stir it until it's soft (about 15 mins - you can eat some to test it, though - the oil should cover it all). Stick this in the oven, too.
When that's going on, start heating a saucepan for the potatoes, water and salt in it.
And finally, the steak: 5) Heat a griddle pan (I use a non stick saucepan, but if you have a griddle pan that'd work better) until it's almost smoking. Take the steaks from the marinade and drain em (hold em over the dish they were in, basically). Cook on each side for 2-4 mins, personally I like them well done (burnt) so it's more for me, but 4 mins each side suits the tastes of most people.
6) Put the steaks on the plates for a few minutes for the juices to come out, add the relish to the steaks, and put the new potatoes (which should be ready and drained - check the times on the pack though because I can't remember how long to boil em for), add the pepper medley... and once your ladyfriend has had her fill, maybe you can fill her up in a different way... for God's sake, man! Make your move!!
Peace
That looks very long and difficult, but it's only cos of my annotations... it's fantastic meal and your lady will be very impressed.
