2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment

sharp knife
cutting board
small bowl
medium bowl
frying pan

Chicken

If you are using chicken breast, cut it into small pieces. If you are using boneless and skinless chicken thighs, you can also leave them whole.
Remove the skin from the 3 garlic cloves.
In a bowl, mix together 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
Squeeze the garlic cloves into the bowl with the olive oil and lemon juice. Now add 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp curry powder, 1/8 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper and mix well.
Place the chicken in the marinade and mix everything well so that the entire chicken is covered with the marinade.
Now place the bowl in the fridge. Leave it in the fridge to marinate for about 30 minutes.

Salad

Meanwhile cut the tomatoes into small pieces.
Cut the cucumber into small pieces.
Cut the onion into small pieces.
Pluck the parsley from the stalks and chop finely.

Dip

Remove the skin from the garlic clove.
Stack the mint leaves on top of each other and roll them up. Then cut into rings and chop finely.

}

ACTIVE: 10 min

PASSIVE: 30 min

COOKING

1. Place 200g (7 oz.) yogurt in the small bowl. Add the garlic clove with a press. Finally, add 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp finely ground pepper, as well as the finely chopped mint, and mix everything into a creamy dip.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.

3. Now add the chopped tomato, cucumber and onion pieces and the finely chopped parsley and mix everything into a salad.

4. When the chicken has finished marinating, heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. It is not necessary to add any more fat, as the chicken already has oil in the marinade. The chicken pieces can now be placed on wooden or metal skewers before frying, but this is not a must. Tip: If you want to use wooden skewers, place them in a bowl of water 1 hour before use so that they can soak up the oil and won’t burn during frying.

5. Either place the chicken on skewers in the pan or fry them individually. To ensure proper juiciness in chicken so that it does not become dry, turn it only once during frying. When you place the raw chicken in the pan, let it cook on the side over a medium heat until it turns white around the edges, which is the sign that the bottom half is cooked through. Then you can turn it over. Then fry for the same amount of time on the other side.

6. When the meat is ready, arrange it on two plates, place the salad next to it and serve the mint and garlic sauce separately or spread directly over the chicken.

INGREDIENTS

FOR 16 PIECES

Mushroom Filling

1 shallot
1 tbsp butter
180g mushrooms (1.5 cups)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp fresh parsley
3 tbsp port wine (or any other red wine)
salt
pepper

individual ingredients

1 store-bought puff pastry
200g beef fillet (7 oz.)
100g prosciutto di parma (3.5 oz.)
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 egg
salt
pepper

}

ACTIVE: 10 min

PASSIVE: 0 min

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment

sharp knife
chopping board
food processor if necessary
small bowl
small pan
kitchen basting brush

Cut the mushrooms into very small pieces with a knife or chop briefly in a food processor.
Cut the shallot into very small pieces or chop briefly in a food processor.
Finely chop the parsley.
Cut the puff pastry into 16 equal pieces.
Cut or tear the Prosciutto di Parma into 16 equal pieces.
Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk it together.

}

ACTIVE: 25 min

PASSIVE: 10 min

COOKING

1. Fry the mushrooms in a pan without adding any fat so that the water can evaporate and the mushrooms do not become mushy and brown. Once the mushrooms are lightly browned, add a tablespoon of butter to the pan.

2. Secondly fry the finely chopped shallot in the pan with the mushrooms and melted butter until soft. When the onions are soft, deglaze everything with 3 tablespoons red wine and reduce for approx. 5-8 minutes. There should be no liquid left on the bottom, but everything should be absorbed into the mushrooms. Next, add the chopped fresh parsley, dried thyme and salt & pepper to taste to the pan. Set the mushroom mixture aside.

3. Now sear the fillet of beef very briefly on all sides in a pan with 1 tbsp butter. Remove the meat from the pan and cut into 16 equal pieces. Set aside.

4. First place the Prosciutto di Parma on the individual pieces of puff pastry so that the edges of the pastry are still visible around the ham. Next, place approx. 1/2 tsp of the mushroom mixture on each piece of ham. Then place a piece of beef fillet on top of the mushroom mixture. Brush the fillet of beef with a little mustard. Now roll up the pieces and seal the ends.

5. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and place the Beef Wellington finger food in the fridge until then.

6. When the oven is preheated take the Beef Wellington Finger Food pieces out of the fridge and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Make diagonal incisions in all the pieces and brush with the beaten egg.

7. Finally bake in the oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned on the outside. If the pieces of meat are very thin, it cannot be guaranteed that the meat will be cooked medium. But even if the meat is not medium, it will be very tender and fall apart in the mouth. My Cumberland sauce goes wonderfully with this.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Imagine a delicious dip with crispy bacon, sweet caramelized onions, and tangy pickles. Mixed with yogurt, mayo, garlic, and a bit of dill, it’s a tasty combination. Perfect for dipping, every bite is like a simple fairy tale of flavor. You can create a lower-calorie and lower-fat version by replacing mayonnaise with yogurt entirely, opting for 0.1% fat yogurt, and substituting regular bacon with the low-fat one.

How to serve:
Make your gathering extra special with a tasty dip. Perfect for buffets or BBQs, serve it with bread, potato chips, or baguette slices. Every bite brings a mix of flavors, making it a hit for casual get-togethers or snack time.

How to store:
For optimal storage of a yogurt-based dip, keep it in a sealed container in the refrigerator. This ensures its freshness and prevents the absorption of other fridge odors. Let the dip cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Avoid freezing, as this can alter the texture. When serving again, gently stir to restore the original consistency. Remember, yogurt-based dips are best enjoyed within a few days to savor their peak flavor and quality.

PASSIVE: 10 min

COOKING

1. Place the bacon in a cold pan without adding any more fat and fry over a medium heat until crispy. If the bacon gets hot together with the pan and is not placed directly in a hot pan, the fat from the bacon will come out during frying. Leave the excess fat in the pan and transfer the bacon to a medium bowl and set aside.

2. In the same pan, fry the onion pieces in the bacon fat over a medium heat until golden brown – until they start to caramelize slightly. Set the pan aside and allow the onion pieces to cool slightly.

3. Add all the remaining ingredients to the bacon in the bowl and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The dip tastes best with a fresh baguette or potato chips.
