    COOKING

    1. Cut the potatoes into long strips and place in the bowl of cold water for about 20 minutes.

    2. Peel the onions and cut into semicircles. Melt 1 tsp clarified butter in a pan. Add the onions to the pan and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir well and leave to caramelize for approx. 20-30 minutes until the onions have turned golden yellow. Stir occasionally. 

    3. Now pour off the water of the fries. Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut oil over the fries and toss well so that the fries are coated evenly in oil. Then bake the fries in the airfryer or in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-30 minutes until crispy.

    4. In the meantime, prepare the burger sauce. First cut the pickles into small pieces and place in a bowl. Peel the garlic clove and add it minced to the pickles. Now add the mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt and pepper and mix well. Set aside.

    5. Divide the minced beef into 2 portions of 100g (3.5 oz) each and shape into a ball. Set aside.

    6. Cut the burger buns in half lengthwise, brush the insides with a little butter and fry briefly in a hot pan until crispy on both sides. Remove the buns from the pan and set aside.

    7. Now add the balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce to the onions and heat for a further 5-10 minutes on a low heat.

    8. Wipe out the pan and heat 1 tsp clarified butter in it.

    9. Remove the chips from the airfryer or oven and pour them back into the bowl. Season with salt and Cajun seasoning, toss well and divide between the plates.

    10. Now place the meatballs in the hot pan and flatten with a heavy object, fry for 1 minute, turn over, place a slice of cheddar on top, close the lid of the pan and fry for a further minute. Remove the pan from the heat.

    11. Spread the sauce evenly over the four halves of the burgers. Then place the meat patty with the cheese on the bottom bun. Spread the caramelized onions on top of the cheese and close the burger with the top of the bun.

                  1. Place the frozen asparagus and tomatoes on a baking tray lined with baking paper, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus and tomatoes in the oven on the middle shelf for approx. 15 minutes until golden brown.

                  2. Pat the cod dry and then roll in flour. Set aside.

                  3. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cod and fry on one side for approx. 5 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and fry for a further 1-3 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish). At this point, the fat in the pan can be poured over the fish with a spoon so that the side that is facing up does not dry out.

                  4. Remove the pan from the heat and arrange the fish on plates – warm the plates in advance if you like. Put the pan back on the heat.

                  5. Now pour the juice of half a lemon over the remaining oil and butter in the pan. Stir briefly and allow to warm. Now add the capers, toss well and deglaze whats on the bottom of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of butter. The sauce can now be poured over the fish.

                  6. Remove the vegetables from the oven and place on the plates next to the fish. Garnish with parsley and lemon slices.

This dish is a symphony of flavors, blending lemon juice with the wholesomeness of vegetables and pasta. Perfect for those seeking a meal that’s both nutritious and bursting with flavor, it’s an ideal comfort food for family dinners or a cozy night in.

                  How to serve:
                  Serve this vibrant dish hot, allowing the aromatic lemon broth to enhance the tender pasta, broccoli, and peas. The Parmesan cheese adds a creamy, indulgent touch, melting beautifully into the broth. For a perfect presentation, garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest and fresh herbs. Pair it with a crisp white wine or a refreshing lemonade to complement the zesty flavors.

                  How to store:
                  I don’t recommend making too much of the dish and keeping it in the fridge as the noodles will swell in the soup and it will become too thick.

                    COOKING

                    1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan and fry the shallot until translucent. Then add the garlic and chilli peppers and fry briefly until fragrant.

                    2. Now add the dry pasta to the pan, stir briefly and then pour in the chicken broth. Allow to cook until the pasta is still firm to the bite.

                    3. Then add the broccoli and peas and cook everything until the pasta is al dente and the vegetables are cooked soft, but not too soft, they should still have a little bite. The total cooking time is approx. 15 minutes.

                    4. Remove the pan from the heat and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Now add the Parmesan. Serve the pasta and soup in two bowls and garnish with some extra Parmesan cheese and freshly ground pepper.

                    ABOUT THE RECIPE

                    Welcome to the delightful world of Roasted Pumpkin with Garlic Yogurt Sauce and Pistachios. This dish is a perfect amalgamation of sweet, earthy pumpkin, enriched with a tangy and creamy garlic yogurt sauce, and finished with a sprinkle of crunchy pistachios. It’s an ideal recipe for those seeking a nutritious yet indulgent addition to their meal, blending the warmth of winter flavors with a touch of elegance.

                    How to serve:
                    Serve this exquisite dish as a stunning side or a main course. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats or can stand alone for a satisfying vegetarian option. The creamy garlic yogurt sauce complements the soft, caramelized pumpkin, while the pistachios add a delightful crunch. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. It’s best enjoyed warm, making it a comforting choice for chilly evenings or festive gatherings.

                    How to store:
                    Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm. It’s recommended to store the pumpkin and garlic yogurt sauce separately to maintain the best texture and flavor when enjoying it later.

                      4. Remove the shells from the pistachios and chop them into small pieces. Pluck the parsley from the stalks and chop finely too.

                      5. Now remove the tray from the oven. Pour the yoghurt sauce over the pumpkin and then top with olive oil, parsley and pistachios.
