Aubergine Antipasti Mozzarella

Eggplant & mozzarella

February 23rd, 2018 | starter

Eggplants are indispensable to an Italian appetizer plate. In this recipe eggplant, tomato, prosciutto and mozzarella enter a creamy liaison. Ready in 30 minutes the sunny taste makes me believe that summer is not far…

Eggplant with mozzarella

(serves 4)

2 eggplants
cut into slices (1 cm)
6 TS olive oil
sauté slices about 5 minutes, remove, drain on kitchen paper
salt, pepper
season, put on baking tray lined with baking paper
4 tomatoes
cut into slices, place one on each eggplant slice, salt and pepper
1 bunch basil
put some basil aside for the decoration, finely cut the remaining and spread on the tomatoes
100 g Parma ham
pluck in pieces, place on top
2 mozzarella cheese (125 g) each
cut into slices and place on top
bake the eggplant “tower” under the preheated grill (240 ° C) for about 8 minutes
serve garnished with remaining basil leaves

And that’s how the wife of the captain does it

For this dish, I don’t use a simple black pepper, but a special pepper mixture called “Jahreszeiten Gewürz” which means season’s seasoning of a German spice specialist called “Altes Gewürzamt”. This is my absolute favorite spice with tomatoes. It is a sort of pepper (piper nigrum) in five different processing stages. Steaks and tomatoes? Only with good salt and Jahreszeiten Gewürz, nothing else.

Carne de vinha d’alho (pork in wine-garlic sauce)

We remember this dish as a very special Christmas dinner on Madeira island. It is already a few years back, we had booked very spontaneously. Arriving on the 24th of December, without any restaurant reservation for the holidays. Just following our noses at Christmas day we ended up in a small fisherman bar near to Maddalena do Mar. The tiny bar was packed. We were the only tourists. There was no menu, and apparently only one single dish. “Christmas dinner”, they told us.

Onion Cake with Pears, Blue Cheese and Walnut October 7th, 2018 | main dishes

Onion cake with pear and walnuts

Onion cake belongs to fall like falling leaves, mushrooms, fog and a bit of sentiment that summer is going on. This autumn, I changed my classic a bit and turned it into a tart. And what goes well with onions? Bacon, of course, and pears and blue cheese. A few walnuts on top – and the beautiful autumn soul warmer is ready.

Tonka bean mousse with blood orange ragout

In five days is Valentine’s Day! Unfortunately, my dearest captain is not ashore. But if he were there, I would spoil him with this dessert: It comes along in three layers: a blood orange ragout, seasoned with grenadine, a quark yoghurt mousse flavored with tonka beans, and topped with deep-fried wonton strips and salted caramel. A dessert that sparkles in your mouth, and certainly enchants your sweetheart!
