Thai Monkfish Cocotte
I love trying new recipes. At home they always reproach me for not making that milk bread with such a tender crumb anymore, or that banana ice cream that turned out so delicious. Sometimes I try so many things that I forget to cook the everyday, simple dishes.
Mushroom Burger
They say this burger isn’t just any burger... It’s the deluxe edition! A vegetarian burger with marinated mushrooms, grilled on the grill. Honestly, if you’re tired of the original version or simply want to try a new recipe, this one is well worth it.
Lamb leg with cherries and pine nuts
With spring arriving, let’s make the most of the cherries that are starting to appear at the market. In this recipe, the boneless lamb has a flavorful stuffing and is served with a thick sauce with an intense cherry and wine flavor. You’ll love it!
Golden Cod
Portuguese cuisine boasts so many cod recipes that we could make a different one every day of the year without repeating. This is one of the most popular, both inside and outside the neighboring country. At home it’s much loved, even by those who aren’t big fans of fish, which is a welcome thing. Likewise, it’s a very simple dish to prepare and doesn’t require unusual ingredients or odd gadgets.
Steamed sea bream with lemon and rosemary
The simplest recipes often become the ones we repeat most. Today I bring you one of them: a simple and very healthy recipe, but absolutely delicious. A steamed gilt-head bream flavored with lemon, rosemary and pink pepper, which will make you banish forever the idea that steamed fish is boring. The flesh turns wonderfully juicy and firm, and the flavors are enhanced because the bream cooks in its own juices. The touch of lemon and rosemary, together with the pink pepper, give a fresh note and a surprising counterpoint to the palate in this recipe.
Stuffed baby squid with onions
I'm not going to lie to you. Today I don't bring a quick recipe. That said, it's not a difficult recipe either, but it is a bit time-consuming. Of course it's also absolutely delicious, and as soon as you try the first bite of these stuffed baby squid braised with onions, you forget all the time you may have spent preparing them and only remember how incredibly tasty they are, I promise!
Beef Stroganoff Stew
This Strogonoff or Stroganoff is one of my favorite dishes. There is no single recipe and everyone usually adds their own touch. We're talking about a Russian stew that's basically made with beef, mushrooms or wild mushrooms and onion in a cream sauce (and here's where it differs), which is seasoned in different ways.
Pulled Pork Tacos
Can you think of a better plan for a Friday night than the classic “sofa and movie?” I can: pair it with a great dinner!! What can I say, I have a very developed foodie streak, hehe. But you can't deny that pairing a good movie with a good dinner is a perfect plan! And if there's one dish that's sneaked into our favorites for these nights, it's pulled pork tacos.
Pork tenderloin with orange glaze
Let's see, for my understanding… Who said that to eat well you had to spend a lot of time in the kitchen? Well, whoever said that surely had never tried this pork tenderloin with orange glaze.
Roast chicken with plums and pine nuts
I’m one of those who believes the important thing is to celebrate all the special moments gathered around the table and, of course, with good food. At home we love to cook, as you can guess, and although we enjoy traditions, we also like to vary the menus every year, whether it’s Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Epiphany,...
Monkfish and Clam Stew
On the occasion of WMF's new launch of the innovative FusionTec pots, we invited Julio to create a recipe perfect for the upcoming Christmas season or to impress at any special-occasion meal: a delicious monkfish caldereta or suquet with clams. Here is the video recipe, and below you will find the list of ingredients and the steps to follow for its preparation.
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.
