Once more: brussels sprouts. I prefer this dish very much in the cold season of the year.
Instead of the shallot I add leek sometimes. Turkey steaks are a good option to the chicken breasts, too.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Red Onions
Brussels sprouts… not everybody’s favorite produce. But maybe you give this recipe a try. It is an absolutely easy recipe. It goes with everything from yogurt to meat. Or just without.
Herbed Veal Chops
Who likes veal I guess will like these chops. I found the recipe at MarthaStewart.com, too. And this I did not change. Very delicious!
Nutty Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts… it is a vegetable that – I would say – is not the most popular one. Even I was not such a huge fan of it. Then I had second thoughts because of some interesting recipes I found. So I gave the Brussels sprouts a second chance. Good decision. The following recipe is not time-consuming and convinced me by the use of mustard, too.
Roasted Savoy Cabbage and Leek
A surprising combination which I prefer to serve with fish. Who does not like the taste of cardamom just skips it. You will not miss it because this mixture is tasty without, too.
Tomato Soup
Extremely yummy. This is the reason to cook this soup as often I can. I like it pure or with chickpeas or with wild rice, and with noodles it is just delicious.
Veal with Tuna-Caper-Anchovy-Sauce
As I have all ingredients except the meat always at home this dinner is quickly prepared. And for me it is just delicious.
Roasted Salmon and Leek
Simplicity and in no-time cooked, that is what I like here. Furthermore roasting in the oven means only a little effort with cleaning afterwards.
Roasted White Cabbage with Almonds, Capers and Thyme
Since it is clear to me that cabbage is something to roast in the oven… I would love to roast it almost everyday. This mixture with almonds, capers and thyme I like most. Who does not like the capers just leaves them out. Only cabbage without any other ingredients is fine, too.
Salmon Patties with Ginger and Chives
I often cook fish patties because I really, really like them. Following you see a recipe with ginger, chives, mustard and sesame seeds. Oven-roasted vegetables go well with. Roasted cabbage is my favorite.
(Fish patties are a great option for a burger, too. Just “press” them with some lettuce in a burger bun.)
Roasted Cauliflower with Tomatoes, Olives and Capers
This is one of my “making use of leftovers”-recipes. Approach: Search the fridge, grab what I get and just try to cook something tasty. Outcome: tasty or not tasty. This one I labelled with “tasty”.
Homemade Jerky
For what reason homemade? Take a look at the ingredient list next time at the supermarket. Then you will know why. I just like to know, what is in my food respectively I try to keep ingredients out of my nutrition that are barely spellable.
Okra with Cherry Tomatoes and Cashews
Okra… a produce that I didn’t care about for a long time. I knew that they can be really slimy. This was nothing I was interested in. Then I spotted them in Istanbul… and I thought they should be worth a try. Well, I cooked a lot of okra in diverse ways. Mostly not successfully. So I – as well as my husband as he does not like okra anyway – was not so happy more than once. Eventually there was a winner. So I like to cook this recipe from time to time.
Artichokes with Tomatoes and Thyme
This is one of the many delicious dishes I had in Barcelona. Only a few ingredients can be so tasty! Besides, it is working as a main dish as well as a side. So I have diverse options with this recipe. And that I do appreciate.
Zucchini Soup with Mint
Soups are one of my favorites. Why? Because there is no time-consuming preparation, they are easily made ahead, usually there is no problem with freezing or storing for a while in the fridge. And this soup is prepared quickly!
