"Last-minute“ pea soup

December 31st, 2017 | starter

Outside I hear the first firecrackers, 2017’s grand finale approaches. If you want to conjure up a quick midnight soup, here comes another idea for a rapid recipe. No, actually not a recipe, but rather a “free-style” instructions with ingredients you certainly have at hands.

I usually sauté chopped shallots in butter, just as you prefer it, together with or without chopped smoked bacon or ham (smoked, air-dried or boiled). I add frozen peas and fill up (ideally with home-made) chicken stock (maybe out of the glass or instant broth as well). Simmer for two minutes, add salt and pepper from the mill – and then comes the blender for use.

From here you can refine the pea soup in different directions: you can add, as pictured, shrimps fried in olive oil with garlic and thyme. Also mini sausages, crispy fried Chorizo or a little crème fraîche fit well. We also very much like fresh mint leaves mashed with the peas. Grated goat cheese or croutons are always a perfect topping. And a few drops of pumpkin seed oil are also a nice addition.

Let the imagination run free and try out what you find in your fridge! Tell me how your „last-minute“ pea soup has evolved!

PS This pea soup is also a prima kick-off for a multi-course menu, especially when arranged in a small preserving jar.

Wild garlic aioli without egg

I bought the first bunch of wild garlic on the market. You might think it’s finally spring! In our garden, the wild garlic, however, has only dared one to two centimeters to the frosty air. No matter, now begins the delicious wild garlic time, which then merges seamlessly into the culinary at least as great asparagus time. Under the motto “It does not get any greener”, I stirred up a wild garlic aioli for you as a prelude.

Eggplant Dip – Mediterranean flavour

This dip of eggplant, herbs and yoghurt is a great accompaniment to roast meat and fish. It goes perfectly well with my recipe of Greek mince steaks with grilled watermelon. But even as a starter it is unbeatable: simply serve as a spread on crispy roasted bread. Fits.
