The last day in Lisbon I got grilled octopus. It was a nice dish, so I recreated it here. Octopus
is not something I've had so often, so it's fun to try when you come to a country where they eat a lot of it. And they did have some really good recipes.
In this kvalilog I make a 3-bean salad packed lunch for a trip to Superbooth in Berlin. Superbooth is the world's largest synthesizer festival. you arrive at the festival via a boat trip down the Spree.
this salad is one of the quickest and easiest dishes I know off, that also tastes good. I use it occasionally for boxed lunch because it is a lot of food in a little space. Which is practical when you are going to carry it along. However, the salad is equally good as an a side for lunch or dinner. Especially if you are a training hard and need as much protein as possible.
A good and simple salad, that can be used as an accessory to meat instead of the usual gravy and potatoes.
Canaille is French for mob or dog dog. But I do not know any mob that is eating rice salad with banana and asparagus? It sounds like a weird mix, but it actually tastes really good and mild.
A simple, tasty and beautiful salad. Eggs and tomato is the perfect pairing. The beetroot adds the volume that satiates. Especially nice with a piece of good homebaked bread.
A very nice and light salad with cauliflower as a main ingredient. Most suitable as a sidedish for meat as there are not many calories in it.
Beans, peas and egg are all very satiating ingredients in a salad. They also complement each other well taste wise. It is also a salad that is very easy to make. Furthermore, I got a weak spot for salads that uses a white dressing instead of a vinaigrette.
Crispy chicken is some of the best meat you can eat. I should know, as I do it often. Especially when there is a busy week ahead and I prepare food for several days for Asian dishes. Then it only takes 10 minutes to prepare the meat on the day itself.
When ordering an Asian dish with crispy chicken, it is usually the breast you get. But in fact, the thigh is even better to fry. You use almost the same technique for thighs and breasts, but there is still a slight difference, so I will make two different recipes.
When you know you have a busy week coming, it's a good idea to prepare in advance so that the individual dishes can be simple and quick. I usually cook chicken dishes in those weeks. Therefore, I prepare enough chicken for as many meals as I need.
I often make the same kind of food for a week at a time. Asian, Indian, French, etc. Chicken prepared in this way is especially suitable for Asian week.
There are 4 servings per chicken, so it's just a matter of multiplying how many meals you need. If you are four in the family then it is a chicken a day.
Normally, white potato salad is made with mayonnaise, but I prefer a white sauce made with yoghurt and cream. It is easy to make and equally well suited for everyday dining and parties, red meat or barbecue sausages. Also, you often have all the ingredients in the fridge, so it's faster than ordering a pizza.
Green potato salad is a good recipe if you are note able to make a gravy to go with your potatoes, or if it has to be quick meal. Oh yeah, it is also a good dish simply because it taste fantastic. You can also make it in as large portions as you have pots for cooking potatoes, and the potatoes can even be cooked the day before and put in the fridge, so it's great for parties. The recipe can be varied indefinitely depending on which seasoning and herbs you like.
The Grand Duke's salad is a bit of a love /hate thin. There are many who does not like beetroot and for those it is not a hit. For the rest of us it's a nice quick and easy salad.
A simple salad that is especially good if you have a rest of cooked cold rice from the day before. A hit in my family.
Nicoise is one of the great classics that you can still order at cafes and restaurants around the world. A real lunch salad that satiates very well. Nicoise is also an olive variety.
A simple and filling salad that can be used both as a side dish and as a lunch in itself.
This is an even better version of potato chips. They fry better. They taste better. Just slightly acidic and mildly salted all the way through. It is basically the same recipe as regular potato chips. The only difference is that they are fermented before cooking. Basically like homemade saukraut is made
There is no doubt that potato chips are easiest to just buy. But the uniformity of the factory made I find unattractive. So when it is gin-tonic Friday in the small home, it is time to bring out the homemade chips. And the homemade guacamole. And salsa fresca.
