Goulash and stews are very popular dishes in our house. Though we are not preparing them that often – but when we do, we really enjoy it. This Oven Braised Beef & Mushroom Stew is a variation of a classic Goulash and is done mostly in the oven. That means this dish is extremely uncomplicated to prepare. Sit back and relax and let the oven do most of the work ;P
I love all kinds of curry – they are all so tasty! Only fresh ingredients, easy to make, and often a bit (or a lot) spicy. What’s not to love?! OK… too hot, and it can be a bit overwhelming, but this Kohlrabi Potato Curry is definitely not super spicy. It’s mild and delicious… and vegan as well. A great weeknight dinner in my opinion!
I might sound like a broken radio, but fall and winter are the season for stews in our house! I love me a bubbling pot or hot stew on the stove on a cold and rainy fall day. Something delicious to fill you up good ;P This one here is an exceptionally delicious stew we love to make over and over again – a White Bean Stew with Salsiccia (aka. Italian Sausage). Filling, tasty, and easy to prepare – what’s not to love about that?
As soon as the temperatures are falling the »stew season« starts in our house. There is nothing better than sitting on the sofa, wrapped in a cozy blanket and having a big bowl of stew in front of you. Warmed by the blanket on the outside and by the stew from the inside. So good! This Vegan Lentil & Bean Stew will do this job perfectly. Well… and it’s also delicious. And good for your body I guess – beans and lentils are great for your digestive system ;P
In times, I am not sure what to cook, a delicious stew is often the first (and most often best) choice. A few ingredients are thrown into a large pot, you let them cook/brown a bit to get some nice flavors, and then you add broth or something similar. A short time later you got yourself a delicious meal ready to be served. This simple Sausage, Potato & White Jumbo Bean Stew also follows this principle. Everything is done in one pot and super easy to do. You can enjoy the stew on a cold day as well as on warm days – always great! ;)
If you ask someone in Germany about the origin of lentil stews you will sometimes get the answer »it’s probably something that is coming from here«. It’s a dish everybody knows from their grandparents, so it must be something we invented ;P But that is not the case at all. Of course! ;) Dishes like this one here have been around since the dawn of time. Well, almost. Lentils have been cultivated and used for thousands of years. This version of a classic lentil stew here is called Lentejas con Chorizo – means »Lentils with Chorizo«. That was easy, right? ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
