Chickpeas with Spinach
Here's a new version of chickpeas with spinach that you'll love. A healthy recipe that comes together in just a few minutes and appeals to everyone.
The chickpeas are paired with sun-dried tomatoes, which, besides an unmistakable flavor, give it a pleasant aroma and a beautiful color.
Mushroom and blue cheese empanadas
One of the great classics of our cuisine, and that of many other countries, is the empanadilla. Versatile to say the least, both in the dough—which can be made in many ways depending on the liquid and fat chosen—and in the filling, which admits countless variations and can be adapted to each person’s taste... or to whatever is in the fridge (it’s a great recipe for using leftovers).
Red Lentil Cream
We are in soup season and creamy soups that comfort the body and spirit. That's why we bring this succulent red lentil cream with a spiced character and ingredients that are reasonably Eastern.
Pink apple cake
Usually, this is a cake I make in a 20-22 cm diameter pan, but when I wake up feeling a little unorthodox I get the urge to experiment and today has been one of those days. That’s why I reached for my individual Emile Henry crème brûlée ramekins, which I’m crazy in love with, and decided to prepare the pink apple cake individually. The presentation improves a lot and the baking time is reduced to less than half — two great advantages to keep in mind.
Broken eggs with thyme potatoes and artichoke chips
Today I bring you a delicious dish, my updated version of the classic huevos rotos, which is ideal for getting back to everyday cooking after the holiday excesses, but in this case without guilt, since it’s baked in the oven without using the amount of oil that frying requires, and served in the same dish they are cooked in, the pepper-colored Revol porcelain plates that I’m crazy about.
Apple Puff Pastries
The tray that Emile Henry has won our hearts with this year is extremely versatile. It’s a tray that serves both to present any appetizer, cheeses or cold cuts at the table, and to cook: it’s designed to go in the oven, with the great qualities of Emile Henry ceramic, so you can bake puff pastries, tartlets with brick pastry, cookies and everything your sweet side desires, or you can use it to bake delicious pizzas, roast vegetables, potatoes, make stuffed, gratinated onions or mushrooms... Whatever you can imagine! But with one great added benefit: you can take it from the oven straight to the table, and its presentation is sensational.
Baked apples with caramel sauce
Today I put my Nordic Ware roaster back into use and it wasn't to make potatoes. No. I felt like trying something new and thought of making a classic pastry item: baked apples. Because even though the gadget in question is christened a “potato roaster,” there are other foods and preparations for which we can use it. I'm already thinking of roasting sweet potatoes or pumpkin next time
Mary Berry’s Victorian Christmas Cake
The days are coming when our kitchen will be in full swing, and it’s one of those times when knowing a simple recipe that can sort out a Christmas dessert or breakfast is welcomed with open arms.
Salmon cake with orange mousseline and avocado mayonnaise
This salmon pie is very easy to prepare, and has all the flavor of homemade cooking. I suggest serving the pie with two sauces: an avocado mayonnaise and an orange mousseline, which is nothing more than a mayonnaise sauce mixed with mustard and orange.
Appetizer Recipes to Win Hearts
Since Emile Henry launched the new range of baking and serving trays, there hasn’t been a week that you haven’t written to tell us how beautiful they are and that you want ideas to get the most out of them. So that’s why we’re here today, to bring you 6 easy starter recipes but with the perfect touch to look fabulous with family and friends. This holiday season you’ll get the most out of them!
Roast ham with mixed vegetables
The roasted ham is a classic Christmas dish or not strictly a Christmas dish; for example in Galicia it is a very popular dish with its little sauce.Imagine: a piece of patorra pork that we first cook to make sure we tenderize it, and that we finish by roasting in the oven so it releases its fat and turns perfectly golden. Oh, and we serve it with little potatoes, sweet potato and onion. What Americans call comfort food through and through.
Vegetable Tajine
I'm a total fan of the Le Creuset tajine. Even more so when you can make such great recipes with this vegetable tajine I'm bringing you today. This dish revives the soul and takes your breath away! Don't be put off by the number of spices I've used, because the combination is absolutely delicious and irresistible.
