}

ACTIVE: 15 min

PASSIVE: 60 min

COOKING

1. Separate the leaves from the stems and put the leaves into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it becomes bright green and no pieces of basil 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 10 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady. This cooking time is essential for all the water to evaporate, allowing the perishable solids to settle at the bottom and the dark green 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. Meanwhile, 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 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 hour or maybe more depending on how many remaining particles are in there. 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 for up to one week.

SHRIMPS

550g black tiger shrimps – 26/30 p. lb. frozen count (1.2 lb)
2 tbsp olive oil for marinade
2 tbsp olive oil for frying
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprik

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment

two medium-sized bowls
small pan
large pan

If you’re using frozen shrimp, let them thaw in a strainer with a drip tray in the fridge a day before you need them. Then wash them thoroughly and pat them dry before further use.
Rinse fresh shrimp with cold water and pat dry.
Cut the green part of the spring onions into fine strips lengthwise.
Quarter the limes.

}

ACTIVE: 25 min

PASSIVE: –

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: 10 min

PASSIVE: 60 min

COOKING

1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt and set it aside.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, 2 eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, juice from half a lemon, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.

3. Add the flour mixture and yogurt to the butter-egg mixture and mix just until they start to come together. Now add the blueberries and stir only until no flour is visible.

4. Pour the batter into the baking pan, sprinkle the crumble over the top, and bake for 55 minutes. You can check if it’s done by inserting a clean knife or a skewer into the cake – if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Let the cake cool on a wire rack.

5. Once the cake has cooled, in a small bowl, prepare the glaze. For this, mix 60g (0.5 cup) of powdered sugar, juice from the other half of the lemon, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. The glaze should be creamy. You can thicken it by adding more powdered sugar or thin it by adding more lemon juice or milk. Spread the glaze over the cake and let it set for a few minutes.
