EVERY RECIPE DESERVES

A Little Love Letter

This dish is like a hug in a bowl – a refreshing and vibrant mix of flavors that will take your taste buds on a little adventure. Perfect for when you’re craving something light yet satisfying, this bowl is loaded with fresh veggies like juicy mango, crisp red cabbage, and tender edamame, all sitting on a bed of fluffy rice. And the kicker? A drizzle of spicy mayo sauce that ties everything together with just the right amount of heat.

To serve, grab a big, beautiful bowl and start with a generous layer of rice. Arrange the colorful veggies on top – think creamy avocado, bright mango, and that gorgeous purple cabbage. Lay your protein of choice (like tender salmon) over the top, and then drizzle on the spicy mayo sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a little wakame salad for that extra touch. Serve it chilled and watch your guests (or yourself) light up with every bite!

Got leftovers? Store each component separately in airtight containers to keep everything fresh. The rice and veggies will last about 2-3 days in the fridge. Just keep the sauce in a small jar and give it a good shake before using it again. It’s best not to store thawed raw salmon. If you can’t finish it, cook it and enjoy it the next day or later the same day.

Get ready to treat yourself to a deliciously comforting meal that’s sure to become a favorite in your home. This dish brings together tender cajun shrimp with a sweet and spicy honey glaze, paired perfectly with creamy, cheesy polenta. It’s the kind of meal that feels fancy, but it’s surprisingly easy to make. Whether you’re cooking for a special occasion or just a cozy night in, this dish hits all the right notes.

Serve this dish fresh out of the pan, with the shrimp nestled on top of a generous scoop of polenta. For a little extra flair, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and a wedge of lemon on the side to squeeze over the shrimp. It’s great as a stand-alone meal, but you can also pair it with a crisp salad or some sautéed greens for a complete dinner experience.

If you’ve got leftovers (lucky you!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the shrimp and polenta separately in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth to keep the polenta creamy.

Imagine starting your day with the warm, comforting aroma of freshly baked bagels wafting through your kitchen. These delightful homemade bagels are not only easy to make but also offer a chewy, satisfying bite that pairs perfectly with your favorite toppings. Whether you prefer the nutty flavor of sesame seeds, the subtle crunch of poppyseeds, the spicy kick of cheddar and jalapeno, or the classic mix of everything bagel seasoning, there’s a bagel for everyone to love.

Slice them in half and spread on some creamy butter, tangy cream cheese, or your favorite jam. They also make fantastic bases for sandwiches – think smoked salmon with capers and red onion on a sesame bagel, or a turkey and avocado combo on a poppyseed bagel. For a real treat, try a cheddar and jalapeno bagel with a smear of guacamole. These bagels are versatile enough to be enjoyed any time of day, making them a must-have in your kitchen.

To keep your bagels fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, slice them in half and freeze them. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply pop them in the toaster straight from the freezer. This way, you’ll always have a delicious bagel ready whenever the craving strikes.

Recommended Equipment

  • tall container
  • large bowl
  • damp cloth
  • oven
  • large pot

Ingredients

Units Scale
DOUGH - YEAST MIXTURE
  • 500 milliliters lukewarm water
  • 7 grams active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp sugar
DOUGH - DRY INGREDIENTS
  • 900 grams bread flour (in Germany flour type 550)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 30 grams white sugar
WATER BATH
  • 2 liters simmering water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
TOPPINGS
  • white sesame seeds
  • poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. In a tall container, briefly stir together the yeast mixture ingredients: lukewarm water, yeast, and sugar, then let it sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, salt, and sugar. Add the yeast-water-sugar mixture and stir until just combined.
  3. Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and knead by hand until it barely sticks anymore.
  4. Shape the dough into 8 balls of 180g / 6oz each for large bagels or 12 balls of 120g / 4oz each for smaller bagels. Let them rest under a damp cloth for about 20 minutes.
  5. Poke a hole in the center of each dough ball with your finger and form a bagel by stretching the dough evenly.
  6. Place the bagels on parchment paper and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Bring water to a simmer in a large pot and dissolve the brown sugar in it. Simmer each bagel for 1 minute on each side.
  8. Remove the bagels from the water and dip them in your favorite toppings or leave them plain. I like using poppy seeds, sesame seeds, everything but the bagel seasoning, or jalapenos and cheddar cheese.
  9. Once all bagels are topped, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes depending on their size.
  10. Remove the baking sheet and enjoy the bagels 🙂

  • plastic wrap
  • two medium-sized bowls
  • grater
  • small pot
  • large plate
  • kitchen towel
  • rolling pin
  • sharp knife
  • medium-sized pot
  • slotted spoon

Ingredients

Units Scale
DOUGH
  • 240 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 80 milliliters water
FILLING
  • 250 grams minced beef
  • 1 small white onion
  • 2 tbsp red bell pepper oil
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes
YOGURT SAUCE
  • 600 grams
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1/8 tsp salt
TOMATO BELL PEPPER OIL SAUCE
  • 6 tbsp red bell pepper oil
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tsp sumach
  • 2 tsp dried mint
  • pinch of salt
TOPPINGS
  • dried mint
  • sumach
  • parsely

Instructions

  1. First, you’ll prepare the Manti dough. Take a shallow bowl, add flour and sugar, and mix them together. Create a large well in the middle and crack the egg into it. Beat the egg with a fork and then add water. Mix everything with the fork until it forms a dough. Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and knead it into a smooth ball. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest for at least 1 hour.
  2. Next, take a medium-sized bowl and add the ground meat. Peel the onion and grate it directly into the bowl with the meat. Chop the parsley and add it to the meat as well. Season the meat with cumin, chili, salt, and pepper. Put the meat mixture in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
  3. For the yogurt sauce, mix the yogurt with some salt. Peel the garlic cloves and grate them directly into the yogurt. Stir everything well and refrigerate until needed.
  4. To prepare the tomato-pepper sauce, mix the red pepper oil, tomato paste, sumac, mint, and a pinch of salt in a small pot. Place the pot on the stove but don’t heat it yet. We’ll get to this later.
  5. Take a large plate and sprinkle a thin layer of flour on it. Set it aside, you’ll need it soon to place your finished Manti. Also, prepare a clean kitchen towel to cover the Manti so they don’t dry out.
  6. Once the dough has rested, sprinkle a bit of flour on a clean work surface and place your dough ball on it. Sprinkle some flour on the dough ball as well. Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape measuring 36×50 cm / 14×20”. Cut the dough into squares measuring 6×6 cm / 2.3×2.3” using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife. You should get about 45-50 Manti squares from the dough.
  7. Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of filling on each square and fold them into Manti. To do this, bring the diagonal corners together and then fold the open corners towards the center, pressing the seams together. They should look like little envelopes.
  8. Take your 4 serving plates and evenly distribute the yogurt sauce on them. Set the plates aside.
  9. Fill a medium-sized pot about 3/4 full with water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer. Add all the Manti to the water and cook for about 6-7 minutes.
  10. While the Manti are cooking, heat the pot with the tomato paste and red pepper oil over low heat. Stir well and keep it on low heat until the Manti are ready.
  11. Once the Manti are cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water and place them directly on the yogurt sauce on the plates. Pour the tomato-pepper oil sauce over the Manti and sprinkle with a bit of sumac and dried mint to finish.
