I was out this morning on a drive and went to a "cookie-outlet": De Beukelaer in Grünstadt. I never heard about it, but wanted to drive to Grünstadt where I haven't been in so many years.
Before I left I looked for interesting things to see and the outlet popped up. It is not only De Beukelaer, but lots of other brands of snacks and sweets are there too.
After I grabbed a shopping cart, I saw taste tester open on top of stacks of cookies. I had to give some a try. That was a good idea, because there were some I disliked. But I found a lot I liked.
But not only cookies and chocolates were there. A row with savoury snacks and ready made small packs of rice, pasta and lentils caught my eyes. I took 3 different packs to try. I never heard of the brand, nor seen it in supermarkets.
When I came home, I read the back of the package of rice noodles with Porcini mushrooms. They are not noodles made with rice flour, but pasta in the shape of long grain rice. It can be called Kritharki or Orso or Arpa Seriye, depending of the country they are from.
The tiny bits of shredded porcini mushrooms called for a second helping. I had bought a package a couple of days before. I heated some water and put the dried mushrooms in. After a couple of minutes, I took some kitchen sissors and cut them.
They cooked together with the bit of hydration water with the pasta. I wanted some creaminess and a bit thicker sauce. 2 heaped spoons full of velveta processed cheese did the trick. A bit of dried chives and freshly ground black pepper finished it.
I served it with panfried garlic broccoli (that was steamed yesterday).
