The eggs first have been hard-boiled, then fried in ghee (or coconut oil) with spices and herbs until they are evenly golden brown. It's simple, delicious and with minimum fuss.
Kala namak, aka Himalayan "black salt", is a rock salt in the Pakistan / Indian cuisine. It is pinkish grey rather than black and has a very distinctive sulfurous smell and taste similar to hard-boiled eggs. Use regular sea salt if you don't have it.

Pork Knuckle (Eisbein or Schweinshaxe in German) is a traditional Bavarian dish that's popular not only during the Oktoberfest but all year round. It's usually served with dumplings / Knödeln, Sauerkraut, and of course a beer gravy. I served it with roasted pumpkin since it's in season, and a salad, but you can use other root vegetables. Instead of gravy, we just enjoyed it with a cold top-fermented Weißbier.
If you ever wanted to re-create this typical Oktoberfest dish at home try this recipe, look for the meaty rear pig knuckles that are fresh, not cured and allow it to sit in the fridge for two days to let the skin dry out. Don't rush the process. Use two metal skewers to keep the skin stretched and the prevent from shrinking while it roasts. Without the skewers, the skin contracts as it slow roasts, creating folds in the skin that don’t become crispy.

Styrian pumpkin seed oil is made by pressing roasted, hull-less pumpkin seeds from a local variety of pumpkin, the "Styrian oil pumpkin". In addition to its characteristic dark green color, pumpkin seed oil also has a distinctive nutty taste.

This is an elegant meal that is really easy to prepare. Scallops take only 3-4 minutes to cook until caramelized yet succulent. The trick to achieving that golden crust without overcooking the scallops is to heat your cast iron or stainless steel skillet over high heat for a few minutes until very hot and the scallops should be dry when they hit the pan. Pairing the plump, juicy and perfectly browned sea scallops with creamy butternut squash puree (parsnip puree would be fabulous too) that's roasted with garlic and thyme and brown butter hazelnuts is simply heavenly.

A hybrid between sweet dumpling squash and the acorn squash, the carnival squash (or carnival pumpkin) is nutty and sweet in flavour. They are excellent in salads, soups, or roasted as a side dish. The skin of carnival squash is bright, has so many varied patterns and completely safe to consume.
Roasting brings out the best in this squash. And honeycomb and freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano are just really special touches that take this autumn squash to the next level. This definitely deserves a place on your dinner table this season.

Juicy, succulent and bursting with vibrant flavour, these Peruvian chicken skewers are easy to prepare and perfect for grilling outside in the summer. But you can always make it in a grill pan any time you want. Serve them alongside a delicious, creamy ají verde, a spicy Peruvian green sauce.
Ají Verde is made with plenty of cilantro, scallion, lime, ají amarillo (Peruvian yellow chillie), mayonnaise, garlic, cotija cheese and huacatay (Peruvian black mint).
Since I can't find huacatay and ají amarillo, so I replaced some cilantro with fresh mint leaves, and used jalapeño chilli pepper instead. Ají Verde sauce is terrific served alongside roasted chicken or grilled meats, and it's equally good with grilled seafood. You can even use it as a salad dressing.

This salted egg recipe made with fresh duck eggs using the brine method is a great way to preserve eggs and super easy to make. They take about 30 minutes to prepare and the result is definitely worth the wait! YES, you have to wait for at least 30 days (up to 60 days), depends on the size of eggs. Chicken eggs will require less (2 weeks at least). Once the duck eggs reached the ideal state, remove them from the brine to avoid them becoming too salty. Store them, uncovered, in a plastic box, and use them within 2 weeks. Hard-boiled duck eggs still in the shell can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Salted eggs work great as part of a meal. In China, the boiled ones are often enjoyed with congee as a breakfast. Salted duck eggs are all about the YOLKS. The egg whites taste very similar to uncured one, but the yolks taste like salted roasted chestnuts. A perfect well salted duck egg should have a a firm white that's not too salty and a rich egg yolk that's CREAMY, OILY and golden orange in colour. You can use the yolks to fill the Chinese rice dumplings and mooncakes, or to make stirfries.

Hamantaschen, triangular-shaped cookies stuffed with any of a variety of fillings, are a traditional treat often served during the Jewish holiday Purim. But you can always bake them any time when those cravings hit. They are most often filled with fruit preserves, chocolate, or poppy seed fillings.
The dough is easy to make and yields a rich, buttery, lemon-scented cookie that is full of flavour. It keeps the shape during the baking, as long as you don’t overfill your cookies and your filling has the proper thick texture. Another tip to keep hamantaschen in shape is to CHILL them overnight before baking. You can use any hamantaschen filling you like, poppy filling is our favourite.
