Spring Soup with Vitamin Power

April 6th, 2018 | main dishes

After the gourmet days for Easter, now it is going on lighter again. Outside, the first tender green shows up – and it must also be light and green on the plate. Pea green.

Spring Soup with Vitamin Power

Super simple, super delicious, super healthy – You should try it!

Spring soup with coconut milk and mint

(4 portions)

600 g of carrots
200 g parsnips or zucchini
cut into spaghetti shape with the spiral cutter
500 ml vegetable stock
cook the vegetable spaghetti in the broth for 2-5 minutes until al dente, lift with the skimmer from the broth and keep warm
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 TS rapeseed oil
fry the onion and garlic in oil
400 ml of coconut milk
pour coconut milk and broth, add
300 g frozen peas
bring to a boil
1 lemon (grated peel & juice)
add 1 ts of lemon zest, simmer for 5 minutes, puree
salt, freshly ground pepper
season with salt, pepper and a dash of lemon juice
5 stems of mint
place the vegetable spaghetti on top of the soup and serve garnished with mint leaves

And this is how the wife of the captain does it

If you do not have a spiral cutter, use an asparagus peeler. This produces vegetables in tagliatelle instead of spaghetti shape. It’s a bit more laborious but tastes just as good.

Octopus Galician style served on a wooden plate January 30th, 2018 | starter

Octopus Galician style

Pulpo á la Gallega or Pulpo á feira (carnival style) is the name of this artful, but simple dish that you can eat everywhere in the streets of Barcelona’s port area. A traditional dish, which uses dried Octopus on the big festivals. Anyhow, in the bars in the “Barrio Gótico” in Barcelona’s gothic quarter, cooked Octopus is used. Our favorite shore leave place in Barcelona is the tapas bar “Celta Pulpería“. Anyone who should believe the preparation of Pulpo á feira is difficult, definitely is wrong!

Pasta a la Mamma

Home-made pasta, there is nothing better. Soft wheat semolina is the magic word. I was in a small shop for Italian food. At checkout the older grumbled something grouchy, (which must be resulting from living in Northern Germany…) owner: “Pasta? You don’t figure it out anyway.” On the question of whether he was this opinion because I’m not Italian, he replied unmoved: “My wife tried for 40 years, so you will not get out even there.” Allora! Per favore!
