Keine Lust und Zeit lange zu kochen? Hey, ich versteh euch! Aber ein anständiges ausgewogenes Essen soll es schon sein, gell? Diese Harissa-Möhren mit Ziegenkäse, pochiertem Ei und Salat auf Buttertoast sind total einfach und machen muss man dabei sehr wenig! Zudem schmecken sie seeeehr lecker! Vor allem in der Kombination mit den anderen Zutaten ergibt sich eine ausgewogene Mischung aus Texturen und Aromen.

Für dieses Gericht könnt ihr übrigens wunderbar irgendwelche Reste verwenden, die noch bei euch herumlungern! Älteres Brot? Kein Problem, das wird sowieso getoastet! Ein paar Blätter Grünzeug, das noch im Kühlschrank liegt, das kann Salat, Babyspinat, junger Mangold oder Wildkräuter sein. Ich mag Ziegenfrischkäse sehr gerne und ich hatte welchen im Haus, aber auch Mozzarella, Feta oder etwas ähnliches nach eurem Geschmack lässt sich hier verwenden.

Die Möhren habe ich erst mit etwas Dampf gegart und dann nochmal normal bei Ober-/Unterhitze. Wer nur normale Funktionen nimmt einfach nur Ober-/Unterhitze.

No time and you are not up to cooking? Hey, I get you! But a balanced diet is everything, right?
These harissa carrots with fresh goats cheese, poached egg and lettuce on buttered toast is so easy and quick to whip together! And it’s just delish! Especially this combination of all the ingredients yields in a perfect mixture of aromas and textures.

This dish is also great for using up any leftovers! Old bread? No problem, toast it! The leftover greens in your crisper drawer are good here: lettuce, baby spinach, baby swiss chard or wild herbs. I love fresh goats cheese and have always some at home, but mozzarella, feta or something else you prefer is fine, too.

I steamed the carrots first in the oven, then cooked the normally with top/bottom heat. But you can also just bake them with top/bottom only.

[:de]Meatball Subs mit Alibi-Spinat[:en]Meatball Subs with Alibi Spinach[:]

Knusprige, saftige Brötchen und dazwischen eine Traumfüllung? Geht immer, oder? So wie diese Meatballs-Subs. Meatball-Subs sind einfach Fleischbällchen mit Tomatensauce im Sandwich-Brötchen. Ich hab zur farblichen Abrundung und zur Beruhigung des Gewissens noch ein paar Blätter frischen Spinats reingelegt und ab geht das Fest!

Zur würzigen Abrundung der Fleischbällchen und der Tomatensauce benutze ich Chipotle Chiliflocken, da diese  geräuchert sind. Das schmeckt herrlich! Wer keine Chipotle Chiliflocken (oder gemahlene Chipotle) bekommt kann auch normales Chilipulver nehmen und geräuchertes Meersalz anstatt normales. Auf geräuchertes Salz kann ich inzwischen nicht mehr verzichten, das bringt so eine tolle Würze gerade auf vegetarische Gerichte, einfach genial! Ich benutze gerne das smoked Maldon Sea Salt oder auch dänisches von meinem Gewürzhändler Wurzelsepp.

Wenn man die Brötchen beim guten Handwerksbäcker kauft und nicht wie ich noch selbst backt, sind die Meatball-Subs wirklich eine schnelle Angelegenheit. Obwohl ich Euch nicht davon abraten kann die Brötchen selbst zu backen, denn diese waren auch einfach nur genial! Das Rezept findet ihr hier. Heute gibt es nur rauchig würziges Streetfood!

Crispy, fluffy rolls and in between a luscious filling? Perfect everyday, right? Like these meatballs subs. Meatball subs are meatballs with tomato sauce in a sandwich roll. To round off the colours and for soothing my conscience I added a few leaves of fresh spinach. Done!

To balance the spicyness of the meatballs and the tomato sauce I used chipotle chili flakes, because they are smoked, which tastes divine! If you don’t get chipotle chili flakes (or ground chipotle) use normal chili powder and smoked sea salt instead of normal sea salt. I cannot relinquish smoked sea salt, anymore, since it adds a great zest especially to vegetarian dishes. Just awesome! I prefer to use smoked Maldon Sea Salt or a Danish smoked sea salt from my spice dealer Wurzelsepp.

If you buy the rolls from your local bakery and don’t bake them yourself these meatball subs are a quick affair. Although I will not hold you back from baking your own, because these rolls are amazing. If you like you find the recipe here. But today it’s just about some easy spicy streetfood!

schnelles Abendessen: Panini mit karamellisierten Zwiebeln und ZiegenkäseQuick Dinner: Panini with Caramelized Onions and Goats Cheese

Frisch zurück aus der Weihnachtspause wünsche ich Euch Gesundheit, viel Freude, Erfolg bei euren Projekten und natürlich viel gutes Essen im neuen Jahr!

Mit diesen leckeren Sandwiches könnt ihr auf jedenfall schon mal letzteres bedienen! Das Rezept stammt aus dem neuen Buch von Deb von Smitten Kitchen und es war Liebe auf den ersten Biss! Das Buch überzeugt mich als treue Anhängerin ihres Blogs auf ganzer Linie und so habe ich schon die ein oder andere Leckerei daraus gemacht.

Diese Panini sind super einfach und seeeehr köstlich! Wer kein Fan von Ziegenkäse ist kann natürlich auch einen normalen Bergkäse oder einen Appenzeller nehmen. Ich finde aber, dass der Ziegenkäse perfekt zu den karamellisierten Zwiebeln passt. In die Zwiebeln könnte ich mich übrigens reinlegen und es ist kein Fehler die doppelte Menge davon zu machen. Im Kühlschrank halten sie sich ein paar Tage und nach dem ersten Sandwich, wollt ihr sicher bald die nächste Ration ;).

Die Sandwiches machen sich fast von selbst und auch die Zwiebeln für die Füllung sind ein Selbstläufer. Somit ein Beitrag für Euer schnelles Abendessen!

Coming back from the Christmas break I wish you health, a lot of joy, success with your projects and of course a lot of great meals this year!

These delicious sandwiches already fit in the last category. I adapted the recipe from Smitten Kitchen’s new cookbook, it was love at first bite! As a devoted fan of Deb’s blog this book convinced me truly and I already made some scrumptious food from its recipes.

Those panini are super easy and very good! If you aren’t a lover of goats cheese like me, you can also take a good mountains cheese (like Fontina) or an Appenzeller. But in my opinion the goats cheese works very well with the caramelized onions. In those onions I could take a bathe, btw and it’s no shame to make the doubled amount. It keeps fresh in the fridge for a few days and after the first of these sandwiches, you will certainly want to have another one ;).

The sandwiches are made in a whiff and the onions for the filling are a no-brainer, too. Another easy and quick dinner for your repertoire!

Today we talk about toast or sandwich bread.

You know that kind of toast bread lying in the supermarkets. Full of air, missing flour. Mostly just wheat. Squishy texture. To talk about bread here, is ridiculous.

But it’s easy to have on hand, either stored in the fridge for weeks or in the freezer.  It’s good for a quick breakfast, if there’s no more bread or granola in the house. Sad, but happens. I also use mine for meatballs or meatloaf. And of course for sandwiches. But just toasted. I’d never understood, why people don’t toast their toast. Creepy.

Toast

I don’t like sloppy bread. Bread just isn’t used to be sloppy or squishy or something similar. Coming from „the country of bread“, I just know.

I always considered toast from the supermarket as „ok“. Not good – not bad. Bu then I baked my own a few weeks ago. And it was a revelation. It’s so much better, you can even eat it untoasted and it’s good that way. It tastes like bread. It’s firm, but not too firm. You can vary with the flours. I made it with wheat and another with rye and wheat (50/50). I loved the rye-wheat one.

You can also freeze it. And if you want to take out single slices from the freezer, cut it first, freeze it then.

Toast

It did get even better, as I made french toast, which I was never a fan of. But I got a recipe in the hands, which called itself a revelation, too (recipe follows). The problem often which french toast is, that the bread (because often used toast from the supermarkets) gets soggy immediately through and through. And you don’t get a thoroughly soaked toast crispy again. But a soft french toast just isn’t right. And delicious. So this toast bread is the solution. It’s perfect for this purpose. Too.

What’s really convincing here is, that there’s not a lot work involved. Mixing together, short waiting, mixing, waiting longer, form the bread, wait again and bake. So it’s perfect for preparing, when you are already making something else at home. So you can take a look at it from time to time, while not investing a lot of time.

So my advise is to bake your own, if you don’t have access to good one.

Bruschetta Bruschetta – perfect summer snack

 Update: Für das deutsche Rezept nach unten scrollen!

As we are all drooling over some easy light and cold! snack, I made some bruschetta today. You only have to take yourself 10 minutes and a toaster! I made mine classic. But if you have some goats cheese or mozzarella hanging ‘round in your fridge, feel free to add some. Sounds nice to me. I love goats cheese, but do you think I have ever some at home…?

Bruschetta

I paired mine with some green salad with a simple dressing containing quince vinegar. If you’re living in Germany I urgently recommend you to go to Vom Fass. There you can get all sorts of vinegar and oils and a lot more liquids. They are really really good. And everything you are interested in, you can taste. So you won’t buy things, that you won’t use, because you don’t like the taste. I know, that there are similar shops existing in Germany, but down here it’s first choice.
