Traditional lentils with chorizo in a casserole
Traditional lentils with chorizo in a casserole are one of those dishes that comfort from the very first moment, and it’s an extremely easy recipe to make. The step-by-step I share here is exactly how I make them at home every week, and they come out super tasty with that classic home-cooking aroma that fills the whole house.
Sweet potato gnocchi with honey and browned butter
Have you ever made gnocchi at home? Although the most traditional are homemade potato gnocchi, these sweet potato gnocchi with honey and browned butter are a real delight and I assure you that making them is not difficult. This is an easy and quick recipe, and very impressive. Also, these sweet potato gnocchi are much more colorful and, sautéed in browned butter, sage and garlic, just as I suggest, the result is truly very flavorful.
Crispy potato and vegetable fritters with yogurt sauce
Today I bring you an easy, light, and equally delicious recipe. Inspired by the traditional rösti or Swiss potato omelette, these crispy potato and vegetable pancakes with yogurt sauce are the perfect side for lunches and dinners. Served with Greek yogurt sauce with mint and lemon, they have a very fresh touch, but if you want a vegan recipe, you can serve them without it and you'll still have a very nutritious dish that everyone at home will love, young and old.
Chickpeas with roasted vegetables
Looking for a complete first course that is healthy, tasty and quick to prepare? This recipe for chickpeas with roasted vegetables in the Ninja CRISPI air fryer has it all. Chickpeas provide plant-based protein, fiber and minerals like iron and magnesium, making them an excellent alternative for lighter, balanced recipes.
Italian-Style Eggplants
There are many recipes for eggplant Parmesan, but the one I'm sharing today will be a game-changer. The moment you bring it to the table and they try it at home, they won't want another. That's what happened to me and I'm convinced I won't be the only one it happens to. This dish is an absolute delight, with a wonderful, creamy aroma and flavor, full of nutrients and color—a dish to be enjoyed from start to finish.
Winter galette: Savory pumpkin, onion and feta tart
As soon as the afternoons get shorter, I really feel like making recipes that require turning on the oven. One example is this winter galette, which hides a wonderful filling of roasted pumpkin and feta cheese and has a distinctly Mediterranean aroma, thanks to the thyme and oregano used to season it.
Cauliflower and Coconut Curry
This cauliflower and coconut curry, aromatic and very comforting, is a recipe you have to try. If, like me, you enjoy dishes with that distinctive spiced touch of Indian cuisine, you'll relish it from the moment you reach for the spices to prepare the mise en place. If not, I suggest you give it a chance, because the result is delightful.
How to Cook Edamame: Stir-Fried with Garlic and Soy Sauce
Edamame has become one of the trendiest healthy snacks. You’ve likely seen it in Japanese restaurants or on Asian food menus, served as a light, flavorful starter. But the best part is that making it at home is very simple and quick. If you’re wondering how to cook edamame so it turns out perfect, with that glossy, slightly toasted touch, here is the complete guide.
Asparagus and Ricotta Tart
The savory tart I'm bringing you today seems like a great option for casual dinners at home, or to take when we're guests, even for a picnic! I can assure you I really feel like making it on a Saturday night, letting it cool until Sunday morning, and enjoying it as a leisurely, luxurious family breakfast.
Roasted Beet Carpaccio with Goat Cheese, Pistachio Crunch and Honey
Don't be intimidated by this recipe, because preparing this roasted beet carpaccio with goat cheese, pistachio crunch and honey is almost faster than reading the name of the dish. A different warm salad, elegant and very healthy, featuring an ingredient that doesn't get as much spotlight as it deserves: beetroot.
Roasted Beetroot Cream with Coconut Milk and Ginger
If you've never tried beetroot cream, this recipe will make you fall in love. Roasting it in the oven intensifies its sweet, earthy flavor, and when combined with the creaminess of coconut milk and the spicy hint of ginger, the result is simply spectacular. This roasted beetroot cream is comforting, with a perfect balance of sweetness, freshness, and that little spicy kick that makes it special.
Pea cream or pea purée
This pea purée I'm bringing you today is one of those recipes that is easy, healthy, quick to make, flavorful and loved by everyone at home. As you can see, it meets all the necessary conditions to earn a permanent spot on the weekly menu. It's worth taking advantage of pea season, but if you can't find fresh peas or want to make this dish any time of year, you can use frozen ones.
