„Let’s make a piece of happiness“

INGREDIENTS

FOR 2.5 LITERS (APPROX. 5 FL. PT.)

VEGETABLES & BEEF

2 kg beef bones (4.5 lbs)
1 tsp clarified butter
400g carrots (14 oz)
2 onions
200g celery root (7 oz)
100g leek (3.5 oz)
2 garlic cloves
1 lemon

HERBS & SPICES

2 bay leaves
1 stem thyme
1 large bunch of parsley
5 cloves
1/2 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp black peppercorns
22g salt (approx. 2 1/2 tsp)

}

ACTIVE: 10 min

PASSIVE: 30 min

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment

sharp knife
cutting board
large pot with lid
large bowl (or a medium-sized pot)
fine sieve (or a kitchen towel)

Wash the beef bones well and roast in the oven at 250°C (480°F) for approx. 30 minutes.
Wash the carrots, celery and leek and cut everything into large pieces.
Wash the lemon and herbs too. Put the herbs aside.
Halve the onions and lemon.
Peel the garlic.

}

ACTIVE: 20 min

PASSIVE: 6 hrs

COOKING

1. Heat 1 tsp clarified butter in a large pot and fry onions, lemon, carrots, celery, leek and garlic cloves until they leave a residue.

2. Remove the bones from the oven and place on top of the vegetables. Fill up with 2.5-3 liters of cold water.

3. Now add 2 dried bay leaves, 5 allspice seeds, 5 cloves, 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander seeds and 1 bunch of parsley.

4. Put the lid on and bring to the boil over a high heat. As soon as it boils, turn the heat down to the lowest setting and leave the liquid to simmer in the pot with the lid on for 6 hours.

5. After 6 hours, remove the pot from the heat and leave to cool briefly. Remove the beef bones and any other coarse pieces of vegetables, as well as the herbs and spices.

6. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into a medium-sized pan. Allow the broth to cool completely and then skim off any fat floating on top. I put my pot in the fridge overnight. If there is still too much fat floating on top, the broth can be strained again through kitchen towels or a fine kitchen towel. The fat residue will then stick to it. Season the broth with salt. I season with 6-8g (approx. 1 teaspoon) per liter, depending on taste.

7. The broth can now be processed directly or filled into jars.

400g canned tomatoes (14 oz)
1 white onion

}

ACTIVE: 15 min

PASSIVE: –

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment

sharp knife
cutting board
large pan
baking dish

Wash the cilantro, pluck the leaves from the stalks and chop finely.
Peel the garlic cloves.
Cut the onion into small pieces.
Finely dice the jalapeno.
Fry the tortillas in the pan over a medium heat on both sides so that they are still pliable and can be rolled. Set the tortillas aside with paper towels between each layer.

}

ACTIVE: 20 min

PASSIVE: 25 min

COOKING

1. For the enchilada sauce, sauté the onions and jalapeno in a large pan over a medium heat until the onions are soft and slightly translucent. Next, add the crushed garlic, stir briefly and warm through.

2. Now increase the heat and add the minced beef to the pan and fry until the meat has turned crispy dark brown.

3. Now pour the beef stock and chopped tomatoes into the pan and stir everything together. Now add the spices: chili flakes, cumin, salt and pepper. Allow everything to reduce over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has a bit thickened. As soon as the sauce has thickened, stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped coriander. Stir and set a side.

4. In the meantime, you can prepare the guacamole and the pico de gallo.

5. Preheat the oven to 250°C (480°F) and prepare a baking dish (my used measurements were 20x26cm (8×10 inch)) by pouring 3-4 tablespoons of the enchilada sauce onto the bottom of the baking dish and spread it out.

6. Now place 2-3 tbsp of the enchilada sauce in the middle of each tortilla, sprinkle 2 tbsp of grated cheese over the top and then roll up the tortilla. Either do it the traditional way from the bottom to the top or fold both sides in at first and then roll from the bottom to the top.

7. Now place the tortilla rolls in the baking dish on top of the sauce, spread the rest of the sauce on the tortillas and finish with the remaining cheese.

8. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for approx. 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is crispy golden brown in places.

9. Take the baking dish out of the oven, divide the enchiladas between four plates and top with crème fraîche, pico de gallo, guacamole and fresh coriander.

INGREDIENTS

FOR 15 BARS

LAYER 1

85g protein powder vanilla (2/3 cups)
50g almond flour (1/2 cup)
2 tbsp maple syrup
60ml soy milk (1/4 cup)

LAYER 2

2 tbsp caramel spread

LAYER 3

120g crunchy peanut butter (1/2 cup)
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/8 salt

LAYER 4

150g semi sweet chocolate
1/2 tsp coconut oil

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment

2 medium sized bowls
medium-sized aluminum or glass bowl
rectangular flat container
baking paper
small pot

Line a rectangular flat container with baking paper.

}

ACTIVE: 30 min

PASSIVE: 120 min

COOKING

1. In a medium bowl, prepare the first layer by mixing the protein powder, almond flour, maple syrup and soy milk into a dense, malleable dough. My recommendation is to place the dough between two layers of baking paper, roll it out and then place it in the container. Because the dough is really sticky.

2. Next, spread 2 tablespoons of caramel over the dough layer as a second layer. Then place the container in the freezer for about an hour.

3. For the third layer, mix the crunchy peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup and a pinch of salt together in a medium bowl. After taking the container from the freezer, spread the mixture over the caramel layer evenly. Place the mold back in the freezer for 60 minutes.

4. Fill a small pot with water, bring to the boil and then remove from the heat. Place a heatproof aluminum or glass bowl over the pot. Melt the chocolate in it together with half a teaspoon of coconut oil, stirring regularly.

5. Once the chocolate has melted completely, remove the frozen bar mixture from the freezer and cut into 15 bars. Pull each bar individually through the melted chocolate with two forks, drain and place on baking paper or a rack to harden. If the room temperature is too warm, leave the bars to set in the fridge.
