This is one of my “making use of leftovers”-recipes. Approach: Search the fridge, grab what I get and just try to cook something tasty. Outcome: tasty or not tasty. This one I labelled with “tasty”.
Homemade Jerky
For what reason homemade? Take a look at the ingredient list next time at the supermarket. Then you will know why. I just like to know, what is in my food respectively I try to keep ingredients out of my nutrition that are barely spellable.
Warm White Bean Salad with Carrots and Bell Pepper
A tasty breakfast. Additionally it will lighten even a grey morning because of the bright color. This salad is quickly cooked. Lightly cooled it is perfect on warm summer days, too.
Okra with Cherry Tomatoes and Cashews
Okra… a produce that I didn’t care about for a long time. I knew that they can be really slimy. This was nothing I was interested in. Then I spotted them in Istanbul… and I thought they should be worth a try. Well, I cooked a lot of okra in diverse ways. Mostly not successfully. So I – as well as my husband as he does not like okra anyway – was not so happy more than once. Eventually there was a winner. So I like to cook this recipe from time to time.
Chickpeas and Chicken Salad with Almonds, Apricots, Chives and Yogurt
I always search for recipes for breakfast to exclude bread respectively grains. This dish with chickpeas is just as I like it. I prefer the salad in summer because of the fresh flavor.
Zucchini Soup with Mint
Soups are one of my favorites. Why? Because there is no time-consuming preparation, they are easily made ahead, usually there is no problem with freezing or storing for a while in the fridge. And this soup is prepared quickly!
