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

COOKING

1. Peel the carrots and cut them into long sticks. Don’t throw the peels in the trash – instead put them in a plastic bag to your other veggie scraps in the freezer to cook vegetable stock from scratch. Place the sticks on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and mix well.

2. Spread the carrot sticks in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they don’t overlap or stack on top of each other. Then, distribute the grated Parmesan over the carrots and put the sheet in the oven to roast for 25-30 minutes.

3. In the meantime, prepare the dip. Peel and finely chop the garlic or press it with a garlic press. In a small bowl, mix crème fraîche with salt, pepper, and the garlic. Next, chop the parsley and set it aside.

4. The carrots are done when the Parmesan has spread among them and become crispy. The carrots should have some brown spots but still be firm to the bite. Now, remove the carrots from the oven. Serve them on plates, garnished with parsley and the dip.

COOKING

1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the flour, starch, and salt. Set aside.

2. In another medium-sized bowl, mix the brown and white sugar. Add the melted butter with a whisk and beat the mixture until it becomes kind of creamy.

3. Now add one whole egg and one egg yolk and beat until the mixture becomes thicker.

4. Next, add the dry ingredients from the other bowl and stir a little, then add the chocolate and mix everything until no more flour is visible and stop stirring to avoid overmixing the dough.

5. Form the dough into 9 equal-sized balls and place them in a container that fits in the fridge. Place the cookie balls in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours – if you want to prepare the dough in advance, you can leave it in the fridge for up to 48 hours.

6. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Once the oven is hot, place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes.

7. Remove the tray with the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 15 minutes. I know it’s hard, but it’s worth the wait 😉
