Snow Peas with Chorizo and Eggs

Saturday, February 04, 2023

Vitamin C rich, sweet snow peas add flavour and texture to many dishes, from quick stir-fries to salads and soups. Snow peas can be eaten raw or cooked. However, blanching snow peas will reduce the fibrousness of the edges of snow peas, and boost sweetness and brighten colour. Ready in 20 minutes, this is a light yet flavourful dinner you won't be able to resist.
Tellicherry and regular black pepper come from the same vine, but they are larger than regular black peppercorns. Unlike other black peppers, the Tellicherry is not immature but ripely picked. That's why Tellicherry peppercorns are more pungent and provide an increased complex flavor with added woodsy and citrus notes. It is considered one of the best pepper varieties in the world. Use these peppercorns to season meats, poultry, seafood, sauces, vegetables and desserts.

Lupin Salad with Black Olives and Tomatoes

Friday, January 06, 2023

Lupin (aka lupine or lupini) are a legume enjoyed in the Mediterranean region and they’re also very well known in Middle Eastern countries like Jordan and Egypt. They are high in protein, fibre, potassium, magnesium and many other minerals and vitamins. Around the same size as fava beans, these yellow legumes have a sweet, nutty flavor and firm, hearty texture. They are a nutritional powerhouse with nearly double the amount of protein that's in chickpeas.
Discover the delights of lupin beans in this colourful, nourishing salad. High in protein, lupin beans and boiled eggs together, make this meal deliciously healthy and filling. You can add or substitute other beans or legumes such as white beans, chickpeas, and French lentils, but keep the boiled eggs for nutritional balance.

Dandelion Salad with Bacon, Egg and Parmigiano Reggiano

Thursday, April 14, 2022

A freshly picked dandelion salad is one of the joys of spring, made with crispy bacon, boiled eggs and the 30-month Parmigiano Reggiano, that help smooth the strong and assertive bitterness of danelions and characteristically bitter edge of radicchio. You could use all dandelions if you prefer or substitue baby spinach or arugula greens. Besides bacon, salami or other sausages are great for this salad too.

Salad	Dressing
8 slices Bacon 4 Eggs, boiled to your liking 100 g Dandelion greens 100 g Radicchio, thinly sliced 30-month Parmigiano Reggiano	1 Shallot, minced 1 tbsp Hazelnut oil 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar 50 ml Homemade broth Salt and freshly milled black pepper

In a medium skillet over low heat, cook bacon until brown and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel, reserving fat.
Return the skillet to the heat, add the minced shallot and sauté, stirring occasionally, for a minute, until slightly softened. Add the hazelnut oil, mustard, vinegar and broth and stir for about 1 minute, until bubbling and just the slightest bit reduced, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Taste and season.
Meanwhile boil the eggs in boiling water for about 8 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Drain and rinse egg briefly under cool water until cool enough to handle. Peel and cut the egg in half.
Toss the dandelion greens and radicchio with salad dressing. Arrange on serving plates with the eggs, bacon and shave some Parmigiano-Reggiano over. Serve immediately.

Beet Juice Pickled Eggs

Monday, March 21, 2022

One of fun ways to pickle eggs is in beet juice so that the egg whites turn a pretty pink. The beet brine, which is guaranteed to add a little magic to your food, contains beet juice, apple cider vinegar, allspice, bay leaf, chilli pepper and salt. I didn't add extra sugar because the beet juice is sweet enough. You can use other spices like cloves, mustard seeds, onion, caraway seeds, and peppers to the brine. Allow to sit for 48 hours or more for maximum flavour. Serve with a salad for a light meal or enjoy them as a snack.

6-8 Eggs, cooked to your liking
500 ml Organic beet juice
240 ml Organic apple cider vinegar (or wine vinegar)
1 Cinnamon bark
1 tsp Allspice
2 Bay leaf
1 Dried chilli pepper
1/3 tsp Sea salt

Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil. Add eggs and simmer for 6 minutes for soft-boiled or 9 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Plunge the eggs into cold water to stop the egg from cooking any further.
Combine the beet juice, ACV, cinnamon bark, allspice, bay leaf, chilli pepper, and salt in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes. Turn the heat off and set aside to cool.
Peel the eggs and place in a jar or bowl. When the brine has cooled, carefully pour over the eggs, making sure all the eggs are fully submerged in the liquid.
Cover the bowl or close the jar and refrigerate at least overnight for slightly pickled eggs. If you want them to fully seasoned to the yolks, leave it 3 days. They will keep for months if fully submerged in the brine.
Slice the egg and serve with a salad as an appetizer or a light lunch.

Keto Spinach Omelette Roulade with Goat Cheese and Herbs

Saturday, January 29, 2022

A green omelette in roulade form filled with rich creamy goat cheese, herbs and bell pepper. If you don't want to keep it vegetarian, use smoked salmon instead. Either way, it's really tasty, and looks fun and very festive. Not only it makes an inviting brunch, but also perfect to serve as a delicious party appetizer.

Omelette Roll	Cheese Filling
200 g Spinach leaves, blanched and refreshed Salt and pepper to taste 6 Eggs, medium	300 g Fresh goat cheese 10 g Dill, chopped (or fennel fronds) 10 g Flat parsley, chopped (or chives) 1 Small red bell pepper, diced

Bring about 2 liters of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil in a large pot. Prepare a large bowl with ice cubes and cold water.
When your water is boiling, add in spinach and blanch for 30 seconds until it turns bright green. Remove the spinach using a slotted spoon and immediately dunk the spinach into the ice water and leave it for a minute. The ice water stops the cooking process so the spinach stays green, tender and retains its nutrients.
Remove and squeeze spinach with your hands to remove excess water. Puree the spinach and eggs in a hand blender until smooth. Season well with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 170C/340F. Line a 22x30cm baking pan with a parchment paper. Pour in the prepared omelette mixture. Bake the omelette for about 20 minutes.
Remove the omelette and set aside for 3-5 minutes to cool. You can directly roll up the omelette or turn the omelette on a clean parchment paper and peel the used baking paper away. Gently roll up the omelette with parchment and set aside for 15 minutes.
Whip the goat cheese until smooth and creamy. Mix in chopped herbs and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Unroll the omelette roulade and spread the prepared filling over. Sprinkle the diced red bell pepper over. Roll up the omelette again with a plastic film and chill for 1-2 hours until set.
To serve, slice the omelette and place them in plates. Rub some freshly grated lemon peel over and some lemon slices and fresh herbs aside. Enjoy!

Egg White Chocolate Bundt Cake

Sunday, January 09, 2022

This chocolate bundt cake is quick, foolproof and simply delicious. Besides that, it uses up all the egg whites left from preparing the raw food for my carnivorous cats. The cake has a moist and fluffy crumb and not overly sweet. I served it with a dust of icing sugar and fruit. You can pour a chocolate glaze over or serve with some whipped cream at side or atop a good vanilla ice cream if desired.

310 g Egg whites, at room-temperature (about 10 medium)
150 g Homemade vanilla sugar (or regular white sugar)
150 g Butter, chopped
150 g Dark chocolate (with at least 60% cocoa), chopped
130 g White spelt flour
40 g Cornstarch
Icing sugar and fruit to serve

Butter a 24 cm bundtcake pan thoroughly and flour it well (besides flour, you can also use cacao powder or almond meal). Tip off the excess. Set aside.
Place chopped butter and dark chocolate in a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, making sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir occasionally as they soften. As soon as the chocolate begins to melt, remove the bowl. Preheat the oven to 175C/350F.
Place egg white in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a balloon whisk. Beat until fluffy, then slowly add in sugar and continue beating until glossy and stiff.
Sift the spelt flour and cornstarch together. Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture into the egg whites and fold to combine. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture in two additions. Now add in chocolate-butter mixture and fold until well combined.
Spread the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface. Bake in the middle of hot oven for 20-22 minutes until a wooden skewer or chopstick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove and leave the cake in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully revert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream and fresh fruit if desired.
