A traditional preparation of mussels cannot be missed, but this one also gets a twist in The Spiced Chickpea! The mussels from Zeeland are cooked with white wine and the Korean flavour maker: Gochujang, a slightly sweet red chili paste made from fermented beans. When the mussels are cooked, you can add linguine or serve it with bread or fries. It’s perfect for a Summer meal and great with a glass of vino!
This recipe is inspired by my Mom’s recipe and it’s something she used to make for us on a Saturday. I woke up with those delicious smells and ate the eggs with leftover rice or a baguette. It was so good! So, thanks Mom and I hope you enjoy it too!
These mussels are something different on your dinner table or on a serving board. The spicy Sriracha gives these mussels a real kick and the mayo + Panko makes them extra crunchy! Wanna make it less spicy for yourself or your kids, then vary with Ketchup or BBQ sauce.
This meal came together when I didn’t know what to cook and saw some Pomodori’s which I got on sale and some smoked salmon which I intended to use for another dish in my fridge. It was so tasty and wholesome that I decided to share it with you all!
I love Sugarsnap Peas! I love them steamed with some olive oil and salt & pepper, tossed through pasta or sautéed with some other veggies, but my favorite way of making them is with Asian spices and just eating them with plain rice or serving it as a side. Try it out and let me know yourself!
Who doesn’t love pancakes for breakfast? Though am not huge on breakfasts, I can never say no to fluffy pancakes and the smell of a delicious fruity sauce. These Cottage Cheese Pancakes are easy to whip and taste like little clouds. Topped with those yummy peaches and raspberry sauce you really have winner at the breakfast table!
Onion Bhajis are spicy Indian snacks that are sold on the street. You can compare them with fritters or savory fritters. This street food snack gets a twist with Mosselen. zo uit Zeeland. In combination with the creamy yogurt sauce (and sweet ketchup) this is a perfect addition to the snack board and delicious with a cold beer!
These delicious tropical crisps are the perfect dessert to end your long Summer night and they are easy to make! Cut up some peaches, mango or whatever fruits you like, spoon them in a ramekin or oven dish and top it with a heavenly crisp. And if you want to be extra cheeky, then serve it with some vanilla ice cream!
As a single person I often struggle with portions and cook for a whole army. But lately am trying to focus on 1 or 2 portions of food. This Hungarian Chicken Paprikash (not-authentic) is something you can have for 1 or 2 days and I promise you won’t get bored of it! It’s full of flavour, has something comforting and is just so delicious. I served it with rice and sautéed Pak Choy.
Eggplant or aubergine? The English prefer the latter, the North-Americans use the former and ya girl prefers them roasted in the oven, topped with spicy Harissa lentils and some Labneh to finish it off
This Peruvian style chicken (pulled chicken thighs) was on my to cook list for a long time now. Originally the marinade is used for a whole chicken but since I live on my own I like to keep it small and simple. Chicken thighs it is! And you know what, it was done and dusted in half an hour (ok don’t count the marinating time)!
Now I love a sweet and milky tea when it’s hot and soy based as I don’t really like or can handle cow’s milk, but that’s maybe a side note haha Yet, tea and milk go well and combined with some chewy tapioca balls (or boba pearls) it’s even better!
