How to quickly prepare a hearty lunch

It is good when there is a cozy house and a skilled hostess-wife who likes to cook. Returning home, just stepped on the threshold, and the smell from the kitchen already guess what you will be treated in a couple of minutes.

But if you are married three times, there will come a time when you will have to cook something yourself. And not just an omelet or fried potatoes. Therefore, to be able to cope in the kitchen for a modern person is a necessity.

And today we're going to tell you What to cook for lunch A man who is used to eating well but is not used to cooking. After all, the temporary absence of a wife is not a good reason to starve or eat anything. Rather, it is an opportunity to hone your culinary skills to please your beloved when she finally returns.





My wife went to the sanatorium, and I was temporarily alone. But since I like to eat delicious food, I had to spin: go to the Internet for recipes, then run to the supermarket for groceries, and finally hearty, says Igor Afanasyev.

The ingredients

• 1.3 kg of meat (bought 3 large quarters of chicken)
• 2 carrots (found in a basket in the kitchen)
• 3 onions (from there)
• 1 egg (from the fridge)
• cabbagehead
• 100g rice (all that's left)
• crackers, bay leaf and spices

“First of all, I removed the bones and skin from the chicken. Then I twisted the meat with the bulb. The meat turned out to be a lot, so he added another half of the onion and crackers (to get rid of excess moisture). He salted, peppered and divided equally: one half of the meat is useful for stuffed legs, and the other for meatballs.





“Boiled the rice. Then the broth poured into another pan, added water and boiled chicken bones. The bones, by the way, will be taken later to the dog that guards our yard. I suggest cooking together.”
