Recipes
Cheese is arranged according to intensity with grapes, nuts, crackers, olives, figsenf and baguette on a large plate. Temperate cheese about thirty minutes before eating, but place fresh and crispy side dishes only shortly before.
Mushroom heads are filled with a mixture of cream cheese, parmesan, garlic, parsley and crumbs and baked in the oven. Clean mushrooms only dry and do not press the filling too hard so that they brown and do not water the mushrooms.
Tortilla chips are briefly baked with beans, corn, jalapeños and cheddar and served with salsa, stew and coriander. A flat layer and separately served moist dips keep the nachos crispy longer.
Potatoes, leeks and onions are sautéed in butter, softly boiled in vegetable broth and partly puree with cream. Leave a part of the potatoes in place and add roasted onions on the plate to keep the soup structure.
Cooked lentils are marinated lukewarmly with lemon-honey dressing and later mixed with cucumber, feta, parsley and pomegranate. Cook lentils only bite hard and drain well; take in feta and pomegranate only after cooling.
Pre-cooked potatoes, mushrooms, peppers, corn and cucumbers are placed in raclette pans and baked under cheese. Drain the moist ingredients well and do not fill the pans too high to allow the cheese to brown.
Mountain cheese and Emmentaler are melted in hot white wine and bound with garlic and stirred starch. Stir in cheese at medium heat and do not boil, otherwise the fat can separate from the mass.
Puff pastry is coated with pesto, parmesan and dried tomatoes, rolled up, cooled and baked in slices crispy. A short cooling time stabilizes the roll; a sharp knife prevents the snails from being pressed together when cutting.
Mürbeig is pressed in small forms and baked with sweated leek, egg-sahn cast and Gouda. Let leeks evaporate before filling and do not overfill the moulds, so that the bottom and casts cook cleanly.
Marons, onion and potato are softly cooked with white wine and vegetable broth, puree and finished with cream and thyme. Let the white wine boil completely and add the cream only after pureing so that the soup tastes round instead of alcoholic.
Blanched Brussels sprouts are put into shape with cream, milk and nutmeg, and burgundy under mountain cheese and brittle golden brown. Cook Brussels sprouts just a little bit and leave them to steam dry well, so that they do not become soft in the oven and the sauce does not become thin.
Pre-cooked potatoes, peppers, mushrooms and corn are distributed in prunes and baked under raclette cheese. Cut the vegetables into small and drain well so that the cheese browns instead of swimming in liquid.
Cooked lentils, roasted walnuts, fried mushrooms, oatmeal, egg and herbs are mixed into a formable mass and baked as a nut roast. Fry mushrooms dry and let the mixture swell before forming; hold them together, but not pressed firmly.
Field salad with pomegranate is a festive winter salad without stove. Field salad, pomegranate seeds, orange, walnuts, feta and honey-senf dressing ensure freshness on the Christmas table.
Apple clefts are put together in pairs with peanut butter and decorated with strawberry tongues, sunflower seed teeth and eyes. Lemon juice protects the cut areas from browning; do not use too much peanut butter to keep the mouths.
Cheese strips are placed as bristles around salt sticks, bound with chives and fixed with a small amount of cream cheese. Do not cut cheese too thin and use the salt sticks only shortly before serving, so that they remain crispy.
Pumpkin cubes are toasted, risotto rice is then cooked creamy with onion and hot broth and is completed with sage, butter and parmesan. Add broth only in portions and crush a portion of the pumpkin so that the risotto binds without becoming pulpy.
Tortilla chips are covered with beans, corn, jalapeños and cheddar and bake only until the cheese is melted. Spread chips in a wide, not too high layer and serve salsa and stew separately so that they remain crispy.
Sweet potato slices are cut out as ghosts, seasoned with starch, oil and paprika and baked crispy in the oven. Cut the slices equally thick and place on the sheet by far; attach olive eyes only after baking.
Black beans and corn are heated with cumin, filled in crispy taco bowls and decorated with salad, tomato and fresh guacamole. Prepare guacamole just before serving and fill the taco bowls at the table to keep both fresh.
Red beetroot, potato, apple and onion are cooked softly in broth, finely puree and balanced with apple vinegar and savoury. Dosage vinegar and sauté only after pureeing, so that colour, acidity and creaminess remain controllable.
Roasted pumpkin meat, spinach, ricotta, tomato sauce and lasagne plates are layered and baked under mozzarella. Do not leave the pumpkin filling too moist and leave the lasagne to rest before cutting in order to create stable pieces.
Pizza dough is thinly covered with tomato sauce and mozzarella, decorated with peppers and olives as Halloween motifs and very hot baked. Spread the coating sparingly and preheat the sheet completely so that the small pizzas become crisp despite decoration.
Black spaghetti are boiled tender but firm and served with a slowly boiled tomato sauce made of onion, garlic and herbs. Start the sauce in front of the noodles and reduce it vigorously; swirl the black pasta only briefly in it so that its colour remains visible.
Orange pepper is cut out as a face and baked with a pre-cooke mixture of rice, beans, corn, tomatoes and cheese. Rice and filling must be pre-cooked, because the peppers in the oven should only become soft and retain colour.
