INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Golden, crispy, and packed with bold flavors!! These herby chickpea bites are everything you want in a falafel, minus the frying. They’re light but satisfyingly crunchy, loaded with garlic, cumin, and fresh herbs for that perfect balance of flavor. Whether you stuff them in a warm pita, toss them over a fresh salad, or dip them in creamy tahini sauce, they’re the kind of meal that feels both nourishing and indulgent. And the best part? They’re baked, not fried, so you get all the crunch without the extra oil.

How to serve
These little crispy gems are beyond versatile! Tuck them into warm pita with fresh veggies and a drizzle of tahini for a classic falafel wrap. Throw them over a big salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, and a lemony dressing for a light but filling meal. Or just dunk them straight into hummus (no judgment here). Want to level it up? Pair them with roasted veggies, herby yogurt sauce, or even a spicy harissa dip.

How to store
Got leftovers? Pop them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes to keep that crispy magic alive. For long-term storage, freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring them to a bag – just bake straight from frozen when you’re ready!

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Not every recipe turns out as expected, but sometimes the result is even better! This Chocolate Mint Oil was supposed to capture both chocolate and mint flavors, but only the fresh, vibrant mint transferred – and honestly? It’s absolutely delicious. The cocoa nibs didn’t quite make the impact I hoped for, but the minty finish is so versatile and refreshing. Perfect for sweet and savory dishes, this oil still deserves a spot in your kitchen.

How to serve
Drizzle this minty oil over fresh salads for a herby twist or use it to finish a dessert like brownies, ice cream, or fruit salads. It also works as a light drizzle over roasted vegetables, adding a subtle mint freshness to balance the flavors. For an unexpected yet delicious pairing, try it with lamb or feta cheese for a Mediterranean-inspired vibe. Versatile and fresh, it’s a little experiment gone right. For an extravagant dessert with a wow factor, you absolutely have to try this oil on my Vanilla Parfait with Chocolate Soil!

How to store
Store this infused oil in a clean, airtight bottle in the fridge for up to one week.

Print Recipe

Description

Recommended Equipment

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

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 fresh chili
  • 500 grams strained tomatoes
  • 10 grams fresh basil
  • 500 grams pasta of your choice (I used Rigatoni)
  • Parmesan
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Warm up 4 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat in a large frying pan. Meanwhile, peel the garlic cloves but leave them whole. Once the oil is warm, add the garlic cloves and let them roast until golden brown. It helps to tilt the pan so the oil pools in one spot, letting the garlic cloves fully submerge.
  2. When the garlic is golden brown, remove it from the pan and set it aside on a cutting board to cool slightly. Meanwhile, get a large pot of water ready for cooking your pasta, place it on the stove, and bring it to a rolling boil.
  3. Now mash the garlic into a paste with a bit of salt using the flat side of your knife on the cutting board – the salt helps break it down. Add this garlic paste back into the olive oil in the pan. Finely chop a fresh chili and add it to the pan as well. Warm everything over medium heat. Meanwhile, wash, dry, and thinly slice the basil leaves. Add the strained tomatoes and basil to the pan, stirring everything well, and let it simmer on low heat.
  4. Add the pasta and a bit of salt to the boiling water, cooking it until al dente. Season the tomato sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Transfer the pasta to the tomato sauce, add a bit of the pasta water, and stir until the noodles are fully coated in the sauce. Serve the pasta on deep plates, topped with freshly grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of pepper.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

There’s nothing like a comforting bowl of tomato soup – except when it’s taken to the next level! This version is bursting with extra flavors from sweet carrots, rich tomato paste, and a splash of red wine, making each spoonful deeply satisfying and a little more gourmet than your everyday soup. Paired with a gooey grilled cheese sandwich layered with caramelized onions, it’s the perfect cozy meal that will make you feel like you’re indulging in something truly special.

How to serve
Serve this soup hot, with a side of crispy grilled cheese fresh from the pan. The soft caramelized onions in the sandwich bring a sweetness that balances perfectly with the rich, slightly tangy soup. For an added touch, top your soup with a drizzle of cream or olive oil, or even some fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor. This combo is perfect for a chilly evening in, or a quick but luxurious lunch.

How to store
Leftovers? No problem! Keep the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, and reheat gently on the stove to preserve its rich flavors. The grilled cheese is best fresh, but you can revive it in a hot pan for a quick crisp-up.

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • large baking dish
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pan
  • peeler
  • large pot
  • immersion blender (or stand mixer)

Ingredients

Units Scale

OVEN VEGGIES

  • 1 kilogram tomatoes (I used San Marzano)
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 shallots
  • 12 garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • salt

CARAMALIZED ONIONS FOR GRILLES CHEESE

  • 8 small white onions
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • salt

SOUP BASE

  • 1 tsp butter
  • 4 small white onions
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 80 milliliters red wine

SOUP

  • 400 milliliters vegetable broth
  • 200 milliliters heavy cream (save some for garnish)
  • 10 grams fresh basil (save some for garnish)
  • salt, pepper & cayenne pepper to taste

GRILLED CHEESE

  • 8 slices bread of your choice (I used regular white flat breads)
  • 200 grams cheese of your choice (I used an cheddar & medium-aged gouda)
  • butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 150°C / 300°F. Wash the tomatoes and bell peppers, then dry them well. Get a large baking dish ready. Quarter the tomatoes, remove the seeds from the bell peppers, and roughly chop them. Peel the carrots and cut them into large chunks too. Peel the shallots and garlic. Now, put everything in the baking dish, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle some salt over the veggies. Toss them to coat evenly, then place the baking dish in the oven for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, increase the temperature to 210°C / 410°F and roast for another 15 minutes.
  2. While the veggies are roasting, you can prepare the caramelized onions for the grilled cheese sandwiches. Peel the onions and slice them thinly. Add 1 teaspoon of butter to a large pan and let it melt. Add the onion slices, sprinkle a bit of salt on top, and cook on low heat, stirring regularly for about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Now, peel the onions for the soup base and cut them roughly. Set them aside. Pick the basil leaves from their stems, wash them, and dry them well. Set them aside too.
  4. After 10-15 minutes, the onions in the pan will have left some fond (browned bits) at the bottom. This is the time to add another teaspoon of butter and cook the onions for another 10-15 minutes. Once the onions are soft and golden brown, add a splash of balsamic vinegar and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer the caramalized onions to a bowl and set the pan back on the stove to make the soup base.
  5. Add another teaspoon of butter to the pan and sauté the roughly chopped onions over medium heat. After a few minutes, add the chili flakes and stir well. After a few more minutes, stir in the tomato paste so that all the onions are coated evenly. Let it cook for a few minutes. Then, deglaze with the red wine and let it simmer until it reduces to a thick, creamy paste. Set the pan aside.
  6. Grab a large pot and transfer the roasted vegetables (along with any juices) into it once they’re done. Add the soup base from the pan, the vegetable broth, and the basil leaves. Use an immersion blender to blend everything until you reach the desired consistency. Finally, stir in the cream. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste. Keep the soup on low heat and bring it to a simmer.
  7. Meanwhile, make the grilled cheese sandwiches. Heat a pan over low-medium heat. While the pan heats up, spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each slice of bread. Grate the cheese. Place half of the buttered bread (butter side down) in the pan, then evenly distribute the cheese and caramelized onions on top. Cover the pan with a lid and wait for the cheese to start melting. Once it does, place the remaining slices of bread (butter side up) on top. Use a spatula to flip the sandwiches so they can brown on the other side.
  8. While the sandwiches are finishing, ladle the soup into bowls and optionally garnish with a drizzle of walnut oil, some cream, and fresh basil. Once the other side of the grilled cheese is crispy, take them out of the pan and cut them however you like – halves, triangles, strips, or small squares – depending on how you prefer them with your soup.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • 2 fine sieves
  • oil bottle
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 20 grams fresh rosemary
  • 250 milliliters extra-virgin cold-pressed olive oil

Instructions

  1. Plug the rosemary leaves from the stems and put the leaves into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until only tiny pieces of the rosemary are visible.

  3. Prepare a bowl large enough to fit a medium-sized pot, and fill it with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over one medium-sized bowl and another fine sieve strainer, with a coffee filter inside it, over another medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and let it sit for about 20 minutes so that the oil gets more infused.
  5. After the 20 minutes, pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
  6. Then, pour the oil into the second sieve, which is equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
  7. Allow the oil to drip through for about 1 hour or maybe less depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.
