Welcome to the world of flavors with my Pumpkin Coconut Soup! This dish is a perfect blend of the sweetness of pumpkin and the creamy richness of coconut milk, creating a comfort food that is both nutritious and delicious. Ideal for chilly days or when you’re in the mood for something soothing, this soup promises to warm your heart.

Serve this Pumpkin Coconut Soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an added burst of flavor. A swirl of cream or a few pumpkin seeds on top can add a delightful texture and look. Pair it with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal. Its vibrant color and enticing aroma make it a great starter for dinners or a stand-alone dish for a cozy night in.

To store the leftover soup, let it cool to room temperature and then transfer it into an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the soup in suitable portions. When ready to enjoy again, simply thaw and reheat, adjusting the consistency with a little water or broth if necessary. This soup retains its flavor well, making it a great make-ahead dish for busy days.

Treat yourself to some real comfort food with my chicken schnitzel topped with sweet caramelized onions and drizzled with a delicious hollandaise sauce. This recipe promises a symphony of flavors that will enhance your dining experience.

Serve this delectable Chicken Schnitzel on its own or alongside your favorite sides, such as my potato salad with eggs, bacon and pickles or a crisp cucumber salad. The crispy texture of the schnitzel, the sweetness of caramelized onions, and the richness of the Hollandaise sauce create a harmonious combination.

For optimal freshness, store any leftover Chicken Schnitzel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, use an oven or toaster oven to maintain its crispy texture. Avoid microwaving to preserve the schnitzel’s delightful crunch.

  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 55 min
  • Yield: 4

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • two large pans
  • small pot

Ingredients

Units Scale
CHICKEN SCHNITZEL
  • 160 grams bread crumbs
  • 120 grams all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 600 grams chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp clarified butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
CARAMELIZED ONIONS
  • 600 grams onions
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp clarified butter
TOPPINGS
  • 1 lemon
  • parsley

Instructions

  1. Peel the onions and cut into thin stripes. Prepare three shallow plates of the same size. Pour flour into the first plate, break 2 eggs into the second plate and whisk with a fork. Season the egg with salt and pepper. Pour breadcrumbs into the third plate.
  2. Melt 1 teaspoon of clarified butter in a large frying pan. Add the onions and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Now caramelize slowly over a medium heat until they are almost dark brown. This can take a good 30-40 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, bread the chicken breast. To do this, cut the meat in a butterfly cut. Place the chicken breast fillets between two layers of cling film and pound with a little force and a meat mallet to a thickness of about 5-8 mm.
  4. Now dredge each piece of meat in the flour first and press down well on all sides. Next, pull through the egg so that the piece of meat is well coated on all sides and finally pull through the breadcrumbs and press down well.
  5. Heat 1 tbsp clarified butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat and allow to melt. Now fry the breaded chicken breast fillets in the fat until golden brown. Fry for about 4 minutes on each side, depending on how thick the meat is.
  6. While the meat is cooking, slowly heat the hollandaise sauce in a small pan over a low heat.
  7. Arrange the meat on plates, pour over the hollandaise sauce and top with the caramelized onions and freshly chopped parsley.

  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 40 min
  • Yield: 2

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • large pan
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pot

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 160 grams pasta of your choice (I used Tagliatelle)
  • 4 mid-sized white onions
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 150 grams fennel salsiccia
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 50 milliliter dry white wine
  • 100 milliliter heavy cream
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • parmesan, for topping
  • fresh parsley, for topping

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • Peel the onions and cut them into thin half-rings. Set aside.
  • Remove the casing from the Salsiccia (or keep it on if it’s edible). Cut the sausage into small pieces and set aside.
  • Peel the garlic cloves. Set aside.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place a large pan over medium heat and add butter. Toss in the onions and season with a pinch of salt. Lower the heat and let the onions cook down for about 15 minutes, until they’re soft and golden. Then, remove the onions from the pan.
  2. Put the pan back on the stove, add some olive oil, and heat it up. Add the Salsiccia, breaking it up with a wooden spoon so it resembles coarse ground meat. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the pieces are golden brown.
  3. Mix in smoked paprika, tomato paste, and oregano, and let it cook briefly until it smells fragrant. Add the garlic to the pan – either finely grate it or press it through a garlic press. Put the onions back in the pan and mix everything well. Now, deglaze with white wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Add balsamic vinegar and mustard. Pour in the cream and let it simmer on low heat. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. Save a bit of the pasta water when draining. Add the pasta and some of the pasta water to the pan, tossing it all together until the creamy sauce coats the pasta. Serve on plates, topped with freshly grated Parmesan and parsley.

Boeuf Bourguignon with Mashed Potatoes & Pearl Onions


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 3 hrs (1 hr passive)
  • Yield: 6

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • dutch oven
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pot
  • small pan with a lid
  • large pan
  • potato masher

Ingredients

Units Scale
BOEUF BOURGUIGNON
  • 1.5 kilograms beef brisket or beef shoulder
  • 3 white onions
  • 3 carrots
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 750 milliliter red wine
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 400 milliliter beef stock
  • 150 grams pancetta
  • 250 grams mushrooms
  • 1 tsp clarified butter
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 25 grams dark chocolate
  • 50 milliliter espresso
  • salt & pepper to taste
MASHED POTATOES
  • 2 kilograms potatoes
  • 500 milliliter full-fat milk
  • 150 grams butter
  • 150 grams creme fraiche
  • salt, pepper & nutmeg to taste
PEARL ONIONS
  • 400 grams pearl onions
  • 1 tsp clarified butter
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 fresh thyme sprig
  • 10 grams fresh parsley
  • 150 milliliter white wine
  • salt & pepper
BEURRE MANIÉ
  • 2 tbsp butter, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Peel the carrots and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Peel the onions and chop them into small pieces. Pat the beef dry, remove any silver skin if necessary, and cut it into roughly 4×4 cm pieces. Beef brisket or shoulder (also known as “falsches Filet” in Germany) works best. Cut the pancetta into strips. Peel the garlic cloves. They’ll be pressed into the pot later. Open the bottle of wine. Pick a Pinot Noir, Merlot, or Cabernet Sauvignon all work great. A bold, fruity red wine is ideal.
  2. Place the pancetta in a cold Dutch oven. Slowly heat it over medium heat and fry until crispy, allowing the fat to render out. Remove the pancetta and set it aside, leaving the bacon fat in the Dutch oven. If the bacon fat isn’t enough, add 1 tbsp of clarified butter and let it melt. Sear the beef in batches on both sides over high heat to create a nice crust. Remove the beef from the pot. Add the carrots, onions, and tomato paste to the Dutch oven. Press the garlic through a garlic press into the pot and stir everything well. Sauté for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle 1 tbsp of flour over the vegetables and mix well.
  3. Pour in about 1/4 of the red wine, stir, and let it reduce over medium heat without a lid until almost no liquid remains (about 5 minutes). The wine and flour should form a creamy texture with the veggies. Return the seared beef to the pot, pour in the remaining wine and the beef stock, and stir well. Place thyme sprigs and bay leaves on top, cover, and bring to a boil. Then reduce to low heat and simmer with the lid on for 2.5-3 hours.
  4. Meanwhile, peel the pearl onions carefully without cutting through them. Set them aside in a bowl. Next brush the mushrooms clean with a pastry brush or peel them directly, then quarter them. Set them aside as well. Next to prepare the mashed potatoes peel and quarter them. Fill a large pot with water, add the potatoes and 1 tsp salt and boil until soft. Drain the water and keep the potatoes covered. Heat a small pan over medium heat, melt 1 tsp of clarified butter, and sauté the pearl onions for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown. Deglaze with white wine, add thyme, parsley, and a bay leaf on top, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes until the wine has mostly evaporated and the onions are soft. Remove the herbs before serving and keep the onions warm on the stove. Season with salt & pepper.
  5. To thicken the Boeuf Bourguignon sauce, prepare a beurre manié. Mix 2 tbsp of softened butter with 2 tbsp of flour into a creamy paste. Add it gradually to the stew about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time to thicken the sauce. Stir the beurre manié into the Dutch oven in portions and bring everything to a quick boil.
  6. After about 1.5 hours of simmering, sauté the quartered mushrooms in a large pan with 1 tsp of clarified butter until golden brown. While they’re cooking, prepare an espresso. Add the mushrooms, pancetta, dark chocolate, and espresso to the Dutch oven. Stir well and let it simmer for at least another 30 minutes.
  7. For the mashed potatoes, warm milk and butter in a small pot until the butter has melted. Add the mixture to the potatoes, grate in some nutmeg, and mash everything into a chunky texture. For a smoother mash, pass the potatoes through a sieve or food mill. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in crème fraîche. To serve, spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates, top with Boeuf Bourguignon, and add some pearl onions. Garnish with fresh chives.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • Kitchen paper (or a fine towel)
  • sharp knife
  • chopping board
  • hand mixer (or whisk)
  • cling film
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • small saucepan
  • small pan

Ingredients

Units Scale
BUNS
  • 200 grams quark
  • 100 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 25 grams butter
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of lemon zest
  • 120 grams nougat
TOPPINGS
  • 35 grams breadcrumbs
  • 35 grams ground hazelnuts
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp butter
  • 200 milliliters vanilla sauce

Instructions

  1. Squeeze the quark between kitchen paper so that it loses any liquid. Cut the nougat into 4 equal pieces. If you are using whole hazelnuts, finely grind them. If you are using hazelnuts that have already been ground, you can skip this step.
  2. For the buns, beat butter with a pinch of salt (approx. 3 minutes) and then add the egg and mix. Now add flour and the quark. Knead everything into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 90 minutes.
  3. After 90 minutes, bring a medium-sized pot of water to the boil. Meanwhile, transfer the dough from the fridge to a floured work surface and roll out. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Place a piece of nougat in the middle of each piece of dough, wrap evenly with dough and shape into a ball.
  4. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat and place the nougat balls in the boiling water. Cook the nougat balls for around 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the vanilla sauce in a small pan.
