  • Peel, halve and cut the onions into thin semicircles.

COOKING

1. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the onions until they have gained a bit of color, for about 15 minutes. Then add the garlic. Stir everything well and sauté for 1-2 minutes.

2. Now add the vegetable broth and deglaze the pan. Let everything simmer for about 5 minutes on medium heat. Now add the heavy cream. Stir everything well. Add the beurre manié, stir well and bring to a boil until the sauce has thickened. Now add salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, and marjoram, stir to combine, let it come to a boil briefly, and set aside.

3. In an ovenproof skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of clarified butter and sear the chicken breasts on both sides. Do not fully cook the meat, as it will finish cooking in the oven and then become really tender.

4. Now spread the entire onion & cream sauce over and between the chicken in the skillet. Smooth out and bake in the oven uncovered for about 30 minutes until done.

5. Remove the skillet from the oven and enjoy the chicken and sour cream caramelized onions with rice, pasta, potatoes, mashed potatoes, or just simply bread.

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment

  • 2 medium sized bowls
  • rice cooker (or pot with lid)
  • large pan

ACTIVE: 15 min

PASSIVE: 15 min

COOKING

1. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tbsp clarified butter. Take the chicken pieces out of the fridge and place directly in the hot pan. Fry on both sides until crispy. The chicken should still be on the raw side on the inside at this point, as it will finish cooking in the sauce later and become so tender this way. Remove the chicken from the pan into a bowl and set aside.

2. Put the pan back on the stove, add 1 tsp of butter and fry the onion pieces over a medium heat until they are transparent and soft.

3. Now add 100ml chicken broth and deglaze. Simmer over a medium heat until a kind of cream has formed, about 5 minutes.

4. Now add 1 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp freshly chopped ginger, 1 tbsp garam masala, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp turmeric, the chopped chilli pepper and the 4 minced garlic cloves to the pan and fry for 30 seconds. Then add 100g (3.5 oz) tomato paste, mix everything together and fry again for 1-2 minutes. Reduce the temperature to low.

5. Now add 200ml chicken broth and 400ml coconut milk. Stir everything well and bring the sauce to a boil. Add the chicken and meat juice to the sauce in the pan and simmer until the sauce thickens and the fat from the butter appears dark on the surface in some places. Small lakes of butter will form, so to speak. This will take about 15 minutes.

6. Stir the butter chicken well and add another tablespoon of butter. Remove the pan from the heat and season to taste with salt, pepper, chopped coriander and lemon juice.

7. Pour the rice into deep plates or bowls and top with the butter chicken. Serve with a slice of naan bread and fresh coriander.

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment
  • sharp knife

  • large pot with lid
  • large bowl (or a medium-sized pot)
  • fine sieve (or a kitchen towel)
  • Wash the beef bones well and roast in the oven at 250°C (480°F) for approx. 30 minutes.
  • Wash the carrots, celery and leek and cut everything into large pieces.
  • Wash the lemon and herbs too. Put the herbs aside.
  • Halve the onions and lemon.
  • Peel the garlic.
    }

    ACTIVE: 20 min

    PASSIVE: 6 hrs

    COOKING

    1. Heat 1 tsp clarified butter in a large pot and fry onions, lemon, carrots, celery, leek and garlic cloves until they leave a residue.

    2. Remove the bones from the oven and place on top of the vegetables. Fill up with 2.5-3 liters of cold water.

    3. Now add 2 dried bay leaves, 5 allspice seeds, 5 cloves, 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander seeds and 1 bunch of parsley.

    4. Put the lid on and bring to the boil over a high heat. As soon as it boils, turn the heat down to the lowest setting and leave the liquid to simmer in the pot with the lid on for 6 hours.

    5. After 6 hours, remove the pot from the heat and leave to cool briefly. Remove the beef bones and any other coarse pieces of vegetables, as well as the herbs and spices.

    6. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into a medium-sized pan. Allow the broth to cool completely and then skim off any fat floating on top. I put my pot in the fridge overnight. If there is still too much fat floating on top, the broth can be strained again through kitchen towels or a fine kitchen towel. The fat residue will then stick to it. Season the broth with salt. I season with 6-8g (approx. 1 teaspoon) per liter, depending on taste.

    7. The broth can now be processed directly or filled into jars.

      ACTIVE: 20 min

      PASSIVE: 25 min

      COOKING

      1. For the enchilada sauce, sauté the onions and jalapeno in a large pan over a medium heat until the onions are soft and slightly translucent. Next, add the crushed garlic, stir briefly and warm through.

      2. Now increase the heat and add the minced beef to the pan and fry until the meat has turned crispy dark brown.

      3. Now pour the beef stock and chopped tomatoes into the pan and stir everything together. Now add the spices: chili flakes, cumin, salt and pepper. Allow everything to reduce over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has a bit thickened. As soon as the sauce has thickened, stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped coriander. Stir and set a side.

      4. In the meantime, you can prepare the guacamole and the pico de gallo.

      5. Preheat the oven to 250°C (480°F) and prepare a baking dish (my used measurements were 20x26cm (8×10 inch)) by pouring 3-4 tablespoons of the enchilada sauce onto the bottom of the baking dish and spread it out.

      6. Now place 2-3 tbsp of the enchilada sauce in the middle of each tortilla, sprinkle 2 tbsp of grated cheese over the top and then roll up the tortilla. Either do it the traditional way from the bottom to the top or fold both sides in at first and then roll from the bottom to the top.

      7. Now place the tortilla rolls in the baking dish on top of the sauce, spread the rest of the sauce on the tortillas and finish with the remaining cheese.

      8. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for approx. 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is crispy golden brown in places.

      9. Take the baking dish out of the oven, divide the enchiladas between four plates and top with crème fraîche, pico de gallo, guacamole and fresh coriander.

          COOKING

          1. Heat 1 tsp butter and 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan. Add the mushrooms and fry for approx. 10 minutes until golden brown. Add the finely chopped herbs, stir and fry briefly. Then deglaze with 50ml white wine and reduce until there is no more liquid in the pan. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Put the pan to aside.

          2. Heat 1 tsp butter and 2 tbsp olive oil in the pan. Sauté the onions until translucent and then add the risotto rice. Stir everything well and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Now deglaze with 100ml (1/2 cup) white wine and reduce over a medium heat until there is no more liquid in the pan.

          3. Now pour 100ml (1/2 cup) of the stock into the rice. Leave to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated. Now pour in the next 100ml, stir and leave it to simmer until the rice soaked up the liquid. Proceed in the same way with the remaining 200 ml (1 cup) of stock, adding 100 ml (1/2 cup) at a time and allowing to simmer.

          4. Now add 150ml (1+ 1/4 cup) of the water to the rice and also let it cook until the rice absorbed the water. Next, add 100ml (1/2 cup) of white wine. Finally, add the last 150ml (1+ 1/4 cup) of water and cook now while stirring. The whole process takes about 40 minutes.

          5. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the Parmesan. Stir well so that the Parmesan melts. Now add half of the fried mushrooms and stir well.

          6. Divide the risotto between plates and top with the other half of the mushrooms. Top with freshly ground pepper and olive oil to taste.
