Prăjitură fără coacere cu mere, biscuiți și budincă de vanilie

Yumyy, tasty and easy to make.
You can make your own vanilla pudding or just use a store bought one. Of course is more tasty with the pudding made from scratch.
Here is the version in the romanian language from the Savori Urbane blog: prajitura mere

Apple filling: 150 g sugar, 600 g apples, 50 g butter, salt, vanilla, 20 ml orange liqueur

500 gr vanilla cream
To assemble the cake: 18 petite beurre cookies, 9 covered in chocolate cookies

Wash the apples, do not peel them and cut them into bigger cubes.
Caramelized the sugar in a pan, add the apples over the caramel and mixed gently to get the caramel everywhere. Let the apples brown slightly, then add the butter. Stir occasionally and add the vanilla sugar. After a few minutes add the orange liqueur and wait 1-2 minutes for the alcohol in it to evaporate.
Assemble the cake: use a deeper tray which fits 9 cookies. Put the first layer of cookies, pour the warm apple filling, next the second layer of cookies. On top pour the lukewarm vanilla pudding and leveled again and then place the chocolate covered cookies on top.

Let the cake sit in the fridge for 8 hours, preferably overnight.

Beef Stroganoff with Gherkins

I went to Ruse last weekend and I tried a similar dish and it was quite tasty, so I tried and recreate it.

Here it is:
 

600g topside beef, 150g fresh mushrooms, 2 tablespoons oil, 3 big onions, sliced, 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika, 2 cups (500ml) beef stock, 1 cup (250ml) cream, 5 small pickled gherkins, 1 pinch salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste, fresh parsley

Cut the beef into fine strips. Clean the mushrooms and cut into thin slices.
Heat oil in a large saucepan. Sauté beef over a medium-high heat turning from time to time. Remove from the saucepan and set aside.
Fry the onions and mushrooms in the beef dripping. Add the meat, paprika, beef stock and cream. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Let them boil till only half the sauce remains.
Slice the gherkins and add them to the saucepan. Add the chopped parsley and serve.
