Fleischpastete "Pastel de Carne" nach einem spanischen Rezept

Meat pie "Pastel de Carne"

March 18th, 2019 | main dishes

In Spain, meatloaf is often prepared in a puff pastry crust. This recipe comes from northern Spain, more precisely from Galicia, a meat pie with raisins and pine nuts. The raisins soaked in sherry provide a juicy-aromatic taste.

Meat pie

The Spanish meat pie tastes well if cold or warm, so it is also suitable for a picnic or brunch. As a side dish a fresh green salad – just delicious.

Chicken in Vermouth – finally again a Captain’s Dinner

We have Chicken in Vermouth when our family calendar is marked with two letters and a laughing smiley. There are also days marked with a crying one.

Today the emoji is beaming in our calendar! Time for Chicken in Vermouth!

Jackfruit curry with pineapple

Curry dishes, especially the traditional sailor’s curry, are not to be left out of our diet. Mostly a curry is cooked on chicken. Here I introduce a vegetarian alternative – for those who want to reduce their meat consumption. Ginger, garlic, poppy seed, cumin, turmeric, coconut milk and jackfruit. Pretty exotic, right?
