I found myself in an ambulance in the middle of filming this reel 🚑❤️‍🩹 Everything was going perfectly—I was preparing an amazing meat donut recipe and setting up my garden. But then I decided to wipe a glass that had a broken stem, and I cut my pinky deeply… And that’s why in the second half of this video, I’m already wearing a bandage 😶 But you know what stood out to me the most? Not the injury itself, but what happened afterward. I received 10,000 messages in my DMs! And hundreds more in other social media platforms 🥹 You wrote words of support, shared your experiences, and just stood by me. I read your messages and every time I caught myself thinking that blogging is far more than just recipes or stories about my life. It’s a living, warm community where we can share everything—from little joys to not-so-pleasant moments ❤️ I read everything with a smile and the feeling that I have a huge, warm family all over the world! And I really hope I didn’t miss anyone in my replies. If I did miss you—I'm responding here: Thank you for being with me. Thank you for caring. Thank you for your support. I’m already okay, my finger is healing, and it’s all thanks to you 🫶🏻 I love and appreciate each one of you! And of course, I will continue to delight you with content even with a bandage on. Feel free to share your kitchen "accident" stories in the comments 😅 ——— Ingredients: *For the Beef:* • Beef • Carrot • Celery • Onion • Parsnip • Olive oil • Flour for dusting • Red wine • Beef broth • Salt, pepper *For the Batter:* • Flour, 212g • Salt • Honey, 11g • Eggs, 3 pcs • Baking powder, 5g • Sunflower oil for frying *For the "Glaze":* • Beef broth • Dark chocolate, 20g • Agar-agar, 2g per 200ml • Coarse salt for sprinkling Instructions: 1. Dust the beef in flour and sear it on both sides in olive oil. 2. In a pot, place chopped onion, carrot, celery, and parsnip, add the beef, pour in red wine, add beef broth, and transfer to the oven to simmer for 2-3 hours at 180°C (adjust based on the size of the meat). 3. After cooking, shred the meat into fibers. Use a blender (or whisk) to break it down into smaller strands. In a bowl with the beef, add salt, pepper, and a bit of broth, and mix well. Place the meat into a silicone mold and refrigerate. 4. Mix all ingredients for the batter and whisk until smooth. 5. For the "glaze," combine the beef broth, chocolate, and agar-agar in a saucepan and reduce until the chocolate melts and thickens. 6. Dip the meat donuts in the batter and fry them. After frying, coat them with the "glaze" and sprinkle with coarse salt. Enjoy your meal! #MeatDonut #ChocolateGlaze #BeefRecipe #donuts #velcheva #byvelcheva #reinavelcheva - @velcheva.vibe
