Soul food at its finest: tasty vegetables in a velvety red wine sauce, served with golden mashed potatoes with turmeric. An irresistible vegetarian winter dish!

Red wine and vegetable goulash on mashed potatoes with turmeric

The colors alone stimulate the appetite: dark red vegetables – colored by wine and beetroot – and turmeric-yellow mashed potatoes. This is a dish that will probably convince even the last person to have a “veggie day”.

No, I am not a vehement vegetarian. But it’s certainly good to skip meat many days of the week. Very good, and even very important. And so this dish can be a wonderful alternative to a meat goulash. I’m sure everyone will be amazed!

I used a good Merlot for the sauce in this dish. If you want to cook without alcohol, you can replace the red wine with unsweetened elderberry juice.

Asian salad freestyle – today they call it “Asia Bowl”

Asian salad freestyle – why “freestyle”? We’ve had a wonderful recipe for Asian salad for ages, which we vary and change over and over again – today, it’s modern to use the English word ‘bowl’ in Germany. There are some components that have to be, such as rice noodles, fish sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar – and many components that can, such as vegetables, mushrooms, cilantro, nuts and so on… Every time a surprise, what the fridge contains… Take heart and try out!
