Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Parmesan
It’s Brussels Sprout season and I can make my favorite Brussels Sprout dish again: Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Parmesan. I love this dish either as a light meal with some cuscus, quinoa or rice or as a side dish accompanying fish, meat or tofu. Brussels Sprouts are extremely easy to clean and cook and have a very special flavor - I really like adding the parmesan on the top at the end of the bake time as it really mixes well with the sprout taste and gives them an additional crunchiness. You can also make the vegan version and leave the parmesan out or add vegan cheese.
Honey Glazed Roasted Vegetables
Honey Glazed vegetables are super easy to make and really delicious - you can have them with meat or cuscus, rice or other grains. I especially like this recipe as I usually don’t use celeriac and parsnip as I don’t like them that much but roasted with the honey glaze they are really good and absolutely healthy.
Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows
Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows is a traditional American classic I discovered during a Thanksgiving dinner. I have to admit when I first saw the dish I thought it was either a joke or a cute way to make kids eat more sweet potatoes. Then I tried it, and for the rest of the evening I couldn’t stop eating this strange but delicious purée of sweet potatoes and marshmallows.
Potato and Rosemary Flammkuchen
This time I decided to make my Flammkuchen with Potatoes and Rosemary as that’s what I had left in the pantry and the result was absolutely delicious. There is nothing I love more than the taste of crunchy oven baked potatoes - on top of crunchy Flammkuchen and in between them a layer of Crème Fraiche. I also tried to make a vegan version using this vegan cheese spread and the taste was incredible.
Endive Quiche with Lemon and Roquefort
The Endive Quiche is one of our favorite lunch options - it’s easy to make and the endives provide a very different and delicious almost bitter taste to the sweater roquefort. You can also switch ingredients out and use a different cheese instead of Gruyere or asparagus instead of the endives - up to you :)
Tombet
Tombet is made with potatoes, red pepper, aubergine, zucchini and tomato sauce so it’s not only vegan but also quite cheap :) This dish requires all the vegetables to be cut into 1cm slices and fried - don’t worry it will not result heavy or oily in the end if you drain your veggies well enough.
Gazpacho
This week Spanish Week starts and we decided to start with a refreshing and super easy to make gazpacho! We promise this will be the easiest recipe you will ever make and you will be thanking us forever. Made with tomatoes, green pepper, bread, cucumber, olive oil, garlic and red vinegar this is also a very cheap dish.
Beef Bourguignon (Julia Child's Recipe)
Nothing says French cooking more than Beef Bourguignon. It is definitely not a “quick recipe” but it will definitely take you on a journey through France and through was is traditional french cooking. This beef bourguignon recipe has been taken from Julia Child’s cookbook - the woman who brought French cooking to the United States and who, with her television presence also made French cuisine even more famous than it was.
Hachis Parmentier
Hachis Parmentier is the french version of a Sheperd’s Pie. It is a pie made of minced meat with a crust or topping of mashed potatoes. Maybe when thinking of French food this pie doesn’t come to mind but it has been popular in France since the 17th century when Antoine Parmentier convinced King Louis XVI that this dish could fight famine.
Flammkuchen
For those who have never had Flammkuchen, it is the french version of a pizza, simply thinner and easier to make (and you don’t need yeast or baking powder)! Originating from Alsace, a historical region in Northwestern France bordering Germany and Switzerland, Flammkuchen is generally eaten with Creme Freche, Bacon and Onions but you can really top it with anything you would like.
Pears in Pijamas (Douillons aux Poires)
Our second dish on our French Week is Pears in Pijamas, douillons aux poires in french. This beautiful dessert is a culinary specialty from Normandie and can be made with both apples and pears.
Ratatouille
We love ratatouille because it’s easy and because the flavours blend so well together.
Roasted Artichoke
Oven roasted artichokes can be either an appetizer or go very well with cheese (especially goat cheese), spinach, lemon, tomatoes, meat or fish - my favorite way of eating them is with a bit of lemon sprinkled on top and maybe just some spinach on the side.
