Roasted Winter Veggies with Parsley Cream

Cut up some sweet potatoes and parsnip. Roast in a grill or frying pan.

Chop some fresh parsley, add a few drop of lemon juice and salt, sour cream.

Cover the warm veggies with cream.

Mmmmh ...

Kokomo Lentil Soup Salad

This "salad" thing has a soupy base consisting of
coconut milk
sambal oelek
soy sauce
and a little bit of "squish"ed garlic
some lemon juice

Mix all this and add it to
a can of cooked brown lentils.


Chop some spring onion
using a vegetable  peeler, create some thin sniplets of carrot
cut cucumber into seedless cubes
fresh coriander leaves
some chilis, seeded, cut in rings for decoration
optional: some peanuts

and place all that on top of the "soup"

Stir before eating, but not before serving ;)

We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow: Down in 
Kokomo.

Cucumber Tomato Salad with Olive Chili Coriander Pesto

Ever so simple and quick:

1-2 cucumbers, slices
2 tomatoes, cut into tiny cubes

and for the "pesto"

finely chop some
spring onion
fresh coriander
red chili
some green olives
raw sea salt

Couldn't find our mortar, so we just chopped everything really finely and riced it a little in a glass.

Cover with lemon juice and olive oil and pour over salad.

Krautsalat à la Tante Kerni's Mama

Same same but different. Be prepared to be eating Chinese cabbage for the rest of the months, these guys can be huge ...

Here is a very simple one. When my mum makes salat, for some reason, it is usually Chinakohl and comes with this dressing:

Finely chop a shallot and some spring onions.
Cover them with lemon juice, salt (lots), sugar and pepper.
Add a little olive oil and, finally, some yoghurt.

Add the chopped Chinese cabbage and a tomato.

It's good to have this sit a little, prior to serving.

Red Hot Chili Cabbage

Chinese cabbage, cut, sprinkle with some brown sugar and raw sea salt
Spring onions
some cucumber slices
Red chili
Sesame seeds
a few cashews

Ginger: grate, then squeeze out the juice and use that for the dressing
sesame oil
some olive oil
soy sauce
lemon or lime juice

Season 3

Season 3, had you ever wondered, is autumn.

Finely chop:
smoked tofu
celeriac, also some from the jar again I admit, as I like the pickle taste ...
red onion

some tomatoes went in as well as
some carrot slices

sprinkle with a mixture of
sprouts
roasted danish onions
raw sea salt
sunflower seeds
pumpkin seeds (Halloween approaching)
sesame seeds

dressing:
lemon juice
olive oil
sesame oil
ginger marmalade
some soy sauce
some celeriac water (from pickle jar)

I probably forgot something else.

Yes: the apple slices.

Hmm ...

Sprouts Galore

Note: This recipe involves yet another high tech challenge: the boiling of Brussels sprouts.

Sentence of the day: It's already done.
Everything I tried to do today had already happened.
Wink, wink. Who reads our blog?

The Brussels sprouts: already boiled, nicely.
Not too soft, not too crunchy.
Already chopped in half.

Already covered with
Danish fried onions
sprouts - some short kind, lentil, radish ...
sundried tomatoes and smoked tofu,
chopped finely
raw sea salt


To round this off, just add lemon juice and olive oil.

Waldorf Plus

A classic we've been wanting to do all along. Celeriac and walnuts, it's that time of the year.

Peel celeriac and cut into thin stripes.
Same with some (sourish) apples.
Pour over some lemon juice. Sprinkle with salt and a little sugar.
We also added a bit of orange juice. Some pieces of orange may also be  nice.
Walnuts, chopped not too finely.
An onion is a possibility, but not absolutely necessary. We have become kind of accustomed to them, thus chopped one without really thinking about it.
Cream, mayonnaise, a bit of white vinegar.
Some pickled celeriac can help if you do not have a lot of time to let this sit and soak a bit.

And finally, as a unique selling point, we have added some chunks of our favourite mature cheddar. It also entertains the chef, as it gives her something to nibble on in those hungry moments before lunch.

Mushroom Pear Salad with Gorgonzola Dressing

Attention! This is not for the weak and fasting.

a little olive oil
brown sugar
salt, lots of coarse black pepper
lemon juice and white balsamico

We had this with thin slices of:

brown button mushrooms
pear
radishes
onion rings (red)

hazel or walnuts for topping.
