White asparagus (Spargel) soup in pressure cooker
Spargel season will be finished here in a few weeks, and we realized we haven’t yet made white asparagus soup. It is so yummy with very few ingredients needed as you want the asparagus flavour to shine. Here in Germany if you’re buying asparagus from the market, they offer you stems already peeled which saves…
Grüner Spargel (green asparagus) on the grill
First Spain, and now the German green asparagus is here! It is such a treat to see their debut at our farmer’s market. I find the colour of German green asparagus really beautiful with their luminescent tips. It’s almost a pity to grill them, but you can enjoy them raw too. Canadian asparagus is generally…
Spargel (white asparagus) with Hollandaise and potatoes
It’s Spargelzeit ‘asparagus time’ in Germany! Spargel is very popular here. Full menus are dedicated to this white gold of vegetables, and Germans have no problem paying the high price when first available in the season. White asparagus is grown under mounds of dirt to allow them to thicken and not produce chlorophyl before picking….
Flower Sprouts (Kalettes) in the Air Fryer
If you like kale and Brussels sprouts, you’re gonna LOVE flower sprouts! We discovered Flower Sprouts only this year at our local farmers market. They’re almost too pretty to eat. After some research, I came across this link all about Kalettes and their origin – they were developed in the UK in 2010 by people…
Leek, Egg and Cheese Torta
This is an alternative ‘Santa’s breakfast’ dish with brie and leeks as the stars instead of bacon. It’s a breakfast or brunch dish that you make the day before and pop into the oven the next morning and enjoy the scent from the oven as you sip your first coffee of the day. We’ve been…
Charred Baby Bok Choy
We are fortunate to have a store in a nearby village that sells Asian goods. They always have packages of fresh baby bok choy in the fridge. We buy all of our sushi ingredients except the fresh fish and seafood here too. This recipe is dead simple and can be made on a charcoal grill…
Grilled Zucchini with Goat Cheese
I’m not a big grilled zucchini fan, as I find the flavour boring. Zucchini soup and muffins I enjoy, and stuffed zucchini can be nice too. A few weeks ago I came across a lady at our Friday market selling jars of homemade goat cream cheese with only four ingredients: goat milk, herb salt, Salinas…
Grilled Chicken Quesadillas with Papaya (or Peaches)
My brother is the inspiration behind this recipe, who made us grilled chicken quesadillas with papaya many, many years ago. We are not big fans of combining fruit with dinner entrees, but the sweetness of the papaya goes brilliantly with the charred chicken and peppers! We couldn’t find papaya at our market, but as it’s…
Tomato Auflauf on the BBQ
There is a lady at our local farmer’s market who sells these colourful heirloom tomatoes that she grows herself. Ralph saw a similar recipe in our Italian Cooking Encyclopedia for plum tomatoes using other herbs and modified it for this tomato Auflauf (casserole) recipe. We make it regularly during the summer and early fall. Ralph…
