gravad lax carrots

Leave a comment
dressings / Salads / Snacks

It all began with an intriguing recipe which promised the taste and the feeling of gravad lax by letting soak the carrots in a sophisticated marinade. In my perception the carrot strips developed a multi-aromatic taste with no ingredient overpowering the others. Not even the algae as expected. I should say that this recipe will not replicate the flavour of gravad lax. Rather the carrots no longer taste like carrots and gain a rich aroma […]

Bärlauch Hummus

Foraging / Snacks

Eines von vielen köstlichen Rezepten aus dem youtube channel von Martina Merz, den sie speziell dem Sammeln und Zubereiten von Wildkräutern gewidmet hat. Neben dem Bärlauch Hummus habe ich auch die Bärlauch Mayo und die karamelisierten Löwenzahnknospen ausprobiert. Ah, und natürlich das Bärlauch Salz. Alles schmeckt phantastisch und ist mit Martinas Erklärungen kinderleicht zuzubereiten. Große Empfehlung! Bärlauch Hummus 1 Glas/Dose Kichererbsen (ca.220g)1 große Hand voll BärlauchSaft von 1 ZitronePepperoni nach Belieben1 TL Salz, etwas Pfeffer4 […]

plum somen with lemon scented olive oil and black sesame

Lunch / Snacks

Somen are very thin Japanese noodles made of wheat flour.  In the making process the dough is stretched to a max with the help of vegetable oil to achieve very thin strips. That’s the reason why you need to rinse them under cold water after cooking. Otherwise they would become sticky. The pink beauties I bought at Muji owe their colour and their slightly fruity/salty flavour to Ume, a Japanese plum.   Usually I eat somen with a dip of […]
