Cannelloni mit Spinat-Ricotta-Füllung

Auf unserem Feld wuchs bis vor kurzem Spinat. Tja, Spinat. Wir mögen Dich, aber wissen nicht so recht was wir mit dir anfangen sollen. Nur so als Beilage, das ist nicht unser Ding. Da muss noch was passieren. Und als erstes denke ich immer an Cannelloni mit der berühmten Spinat-Ricotta-Füllung. Theoretisch könnte man das auch ohne Rezept, aber so eine ungefähre Mengenangabe finde ich immer gut zu haben. Und auch welche Sauce dann noch drauf kommt. Auf keine Fall Tomate! Langweilig. Und die überdeckt mir geschmacklich nachher die ganze Füllung.

Also Bücher gewälzt, Internet gewälzt. Tausend Rezepte, aber alle waren komisch. Seltsame Mengenverhältnisse: viel zu viel Spinat oder Ricotta (1kg Ricotta!), zu wenig Spinat (400g?), Fertigpackungsauce (örks) und noch mehr Kuriositäten. Also doch selber zusammenbasteln.

Nach 2 Versuchen kann ich nun das beste Spinat-Ricotta-Cannelloni Rezept präsentieren! Und 2/3 unserer Spinatproduktion waren auch verbraucht. Perfekt!

Wer noch frischen Thymian oder Oregano zu Hause hat, gibt davon noch unter die Füllung. So wird es noch etwas besonderer.

Cannelloni filled with Spinach and Ricotta

Until recently we also had spinach on our field. Well, spinach. We like you, but we don’t know what to do with you really. Just as a side dish, that’s not our thing. Something has to happen with the spinach. First thing that comes to my mind are cannelloni with the famous spinach-ricotta-filling. Theoretically it’s possible to cook without a recipe, but I like to have some approximate quantities at least. And what for a sauce as a topping! No tomato sauce, that’s for sure! That would be boring and it would conceal the taste of the filling.

Cannelloni filled with Spinach and Ricotta

So rummaging books, rummaging the internet. Thousands of recipes, but all of them were strange. Weird ratios of quantities: way too much spinach or ricotta (1kg!), too less spinach (400g?), pre-packed sauces ( yuck ) and even more curiosities. So after all I had to assemble everything on my own.

After 2 attempts I present you the best recipe for cannelloni with spinach and ricotta filling! Like that two thirds of our spinach production were consumed, too. Perfect!

If you have some fresh thyme or oregano at home, feel free to add it to the filling. Like that the cannelloni will be even more special.

Focacciaschnecke mit Käse, Rucola und getrockneten Tomaten

 Versprochen ist versprochen! Nämlich, dass ich dieses Rezept noch diese Woche blogge. Es kam nämlich bereits auf Facebook so gut an.

Es war aber auch der Hammer! Das Rezept ist von Jamie Oliver, ich habe es aber natürlich hier und da verändert. Das Brot habe ich zum ersten Grillen der Saison als Beilage gemacht. Und es war eigentlich das Beste am ganzen Essen ;).

Der Brotteig ist wirklich lecker, obwohl ich bei der kurzen Gare eigentlich wenig erwartet hatte. Es hat uns positiv überrascht!

Ich habe eine lange Schnecke gemacht, die kaum aufs Blech gepasst hat. Es empfiehlt sich also den Teig nach dem Ausrollen zu halbieren und zwei Schnecken zu machen, die kann man dann auch prima zusammen auf ein Blech packen. Und für 2 Leute ist die Hälfte des Rezepts voll und ganz ausreichen (und ich hatte das Rezept schon halbiert; wie viele Leute füttert Jamie bitte?!).

focaccia filled with cheese, arugula and dried tomatoes

 I promised to blog this recipe this week, yet, as the picture itself evoked already excitement on Facebook.

But it was awesome! The recipe is from Jamie Oliver. Of course I altered the recipe here and there. I served the bread as a side dish for the first barbecue this season. And actually it was quite the best food that evening ;).

The bread dough is delicious, although I didn’t had high expectations, because of the short proof. It surprised us positively!

I made one long snail, which almost didn’t fit on the baking sheet. So I recommend to halve the dough after rolling it out and to make two snails, which then will fit perfectly onto one baking sheet. And for two people half the recipe is totally enough (and I already halved the recipe; how many people does Jamie feed?!).

Mini Hokkaido Kürbis Quiches und nussiger FeldsalatRed Kuri Squash Mini Quiches and nuttily lamb’s lettuce

Update: Für das deutsche Rezept nach unten scrollen!

Autumn is coming finally. The leaves are falling from the trees, it’s not so warm anymore (but not cold yet) and everywhere you get the typical autumn food, like apples, pears, fennel and pumpkin. I love every kind of pumpkin or squash. Everytime I see another type, I have to buy it. Some weeks ago I bought a cooking magazine, which is all about pumpkins. I picked out one recipe, which I adapted. The combination of pumpkin and pastry is great. Ok I admit, combination with pastry is always great! And quiches are one of my favourites. Besides I made some field salad with caramelized walnuts and a hazelnut vinaigrette.

Mini Hokkaido Kürbis Quiches und nussiger Feldsalat

The quiches are filled with very small diced red kuri squash, onion, parsley and bacon. But if you like it vegetarian you can just leave the bacon. Also you have a stronger flavour of the squash then. Over that you give some eggs mixed with milk, mustard, salt and pepper and top it with cheese. I used gouda and mozzarella, because I hadn’t enough gouda. But it tasted very good. You can use the sort of cheese you like best. Gorgonzola would be also nice I think. The recipe originally goes for 12 pieces to bake in a muffin-pan. But I made it in my tartelettes pans, so I got 6 pieces (I only have 6 tartelette pans) and had some filling left. I was also generous with the dough. So if you have more pans, the dough and the filling is enough for more than 6 pieces. Just double the amount of the eggmilk for more tartelettes.
