The BBQ-season has finally arrived! It´s getting warmer with each day, brightly colored and seasonal fruits and vegetables show off their beauty on the markets and allure with their smell, so we all crave lighter and fresher meals to meet our mood. No matter what you´ll enjoy on BBQ hangouts this summer, one thing´s for sure: you´ll need a BBQ sauce. But not just a sauce…You´ll need a rich, sweet, slightly spicy, sticky, dark colored sauce with a complex flavor, which you can smear on anything you want and which´ll make your taste buds dance! I was inspired by the delicious recipe from here, which I modified a little and added some more spices and veggies. So, what makes the sauce different from the sauces you can easily buy in every supermarket you ask? The most important thing is that you know which ingredients you use, so there´ll be no artificial and strange stuff in it. Second, it´s the slow cooking method, which provides amazing depth of flavors. You have to let the sauce simmer for 2 hours over low heat, but it´s so worth it. It allows the ingredients to combine together and enhances the depth and complexity of the flavor. Go check now, if you have tomatoes and figs in the house, you can thank me later. :) :) :)
You know this kind of dinner recipes, which are quick & easy, delicious and please the whole family? This dish falls definitely into this category. You can easily adjust the amounts to your preferring and throw in any vegetables you find in your fridge. And the following recipe for vegan mozzarella is a star on its own. It´s not complicated, fast to whip up, it melts and stretches & tastes really good. You can put some on a creamy risotto, make pizza or sandwiches, eat it plain with tomatoes and a good drizzle of olive oil or transform it to a creamy sauce for your pasta by adding a little more liquid. I was inspired by the recipe from here, but I used some more spices to enhance the cheesy flavor. This cheese definitely stretched my mind positively and melted away my plan to not eat half of the batch in one sitting. Well, I guess this is all a good cheese should stand for…
This is probably the easiest apple cake you can make. The recipe is really magical, because you don´t even have to make a cake batter, you just mix few simple ingredients together and that´s it. No kneading, no mixing, no blending, no waiting for the cake to raise. The hardest part is to grate the apples. But that counts as upper arm workout, so you can eat two slices (or more) when the cake is ready, because you worked out while making it, so you deserve it! I love these kind of desserts – minimal effort with amazing results. If you feel fancy like me, you can layer the cake with poppy seeds and raisins, but it works like a charm with apples only as well. So, I suggest you start with brewing coffee…
