COOKING

1. Slice the red cabbage, white cabbage, and red onion into thin strips and put them in a medium-sized bowl. Pluck the coriander leaves from the stems, roughly chop them, and add to the bowl with the cabbage. Add yogurt, salt, and pepper as well, and stir everything well. Set aside.

2. Next, peel and finely chop or press the garlic cloves and mix them with olive oil, chili, cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and oregano to create a paste. Coat the shrimp in the paste, ensuring they’re evenly covered. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a small pan, lightly toast the corn tortillas on both sides without adding fat, so they’re warm but still bendable. Alternatively, you can warm them in the oven for a few minutes.

4. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan and fry the shrimp on each side for about 1-2 minutes until they’re no longer transparent and have curled up.

5. Spread the tortillas on plates, top with the slaw, distribute 4 shrimps on each, and garnish with yogurt, coriander, spring onion, and lime juice.

}

ACTIVE: 60 min

PASSIVE: 60 min

COOKING

1. Put the tomatoes into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it becomes a thick bright orange consistency and no pieces of tomatoes are longer visible.

2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat, constantly stirring, to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F). Then, let the oil simmer with the lid partially on for the next 30-40 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady. This long cooking time is essential for all the water to evaporate, allowing the perishable solids to settle at the bottom and the dark red oil to float on top. You’ll know all the water has evaporated when the oil in the pot barely bubbles anymore – so if it’s still bubbling vigorously, keep it simmering.

3. At the end of the cooking process, prepare a bowl large enough to fit the medium-sized pot, filled with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over a medium-sized bowl.

4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to stop the cooking process. Once the oil is no longer boiling and is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.

5. Then, rinse the strainer, dry it off well and hang it over the second medium-sized bowl. Press a coffee filter into the strainer and pour the captured oil into the coffee filter, so that the remaining perishable and coarser particles are caught.

6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 to 2 hours. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator.

ACTIVE: 10 min

PASSIVE: 25 min

COOKING

1. Peel the carrots and cut them into long sticks. Don’t throw the peels in the trash – instead put them in a plastic bag to your other veggie scraps in the freezer to cook vegetable stock from scratch. Place the sticks on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and mix well.

2. Spread the carrot sticks in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they don’t overlap or stack on top of each other. Then, distribute the grated Parmesan over the carrots and put the sheet in the oven to roast for 25-30 minutes.

3. In the meantime, prepare the dip. Peel and finely chop the garlic or press it with a garlic press. In a small bowl, mix crème fraîche with salt, pepper, and the garlic. Next, chop the parsley and set it aside.

4. The carrots are done when the Parmesan has spread among them and become crispy. The carrots should have some brown spots but still be firm to the bite. Now, remove the carrots from the oven. Serve them on plates, garnished with parsley and the dip.
