Kofta Skewers with Tomato Salad

Summer is the time for barbecue! Right? However, even in summer, you can have rainy days too. That means you might not always be able to grill something outside in your backyard. If you got an electric grill that’s actually not a problem – just move your BBQ party into the house. These delicious Kofta Skewers with Tomato Salad can be grilled outside or inside – it does not really matter. They will turn out great no matter what type of grill you are going to use… a frying pan is actually also fine here ;)

Colorful Tomato Salad (with Feta)

30 Minutes or less, Salad, Summer No Reply

Summer is the time for tomatoes – it’s quite obvious if you go to a Farmer’s market and see them everywhere ;) We have some tomato plants on our balcony that give us sweet and delicious fruits – unfortunately, not enough at once to make a whole Colorful Tomato Salad (with Feta) like this one here. But we can use at least some of them if we want to make a salad… the rest has to come from a store or market. That’s fine. We would not be able to grow a large variety of tomatoes anyway. If we only had a garden. When I was a kid all the tomatoes could have come out of our garden because there was enough space to grow everything we wanted ;P Well… maybe again someday.

Corn Salsa with Tortilla Chips

30 Minutes or less, Snacks No Reply

When it’s sunny and warm outside in summer and the kitchen is warm/hot as well – no one likes to spend more time than necessary inside that kitchen. A hot oven heating up the kitchen even more? No way ;P So working with minimal heat or being able to cook/bake outside is the best in my opinion. This Corn Salsa with Tortilla Chips is a great option if you want to work only with a hot pan or your BBQ grill outside. Great side for grilled meat or veggies, as well as a nice snack for a movie night with friends ;)

Roasted Harissa Cauliflower & Chickpea Salad

Salad No Reply

I recently got my hands on some purple cauliflower and, of course, I had to make something with it right away – this Roasted Harissa Cauliflower & Chickpea Salad. Super tasty and extremely easy to prepare. You can do so many delicious things with roasted veggies! Preparing veggies in the oven to make many different dishes has become a standard in our kitchen. The results are always delicious ;)

Simple & Easy Red Beet Salad

Salad No Reply

The BBQ season is upon us. Yay! Some die-hards never stopped grilling and treat themselves to some grilled meat, sausages, and veggies even in the depths of winter on the terrace or balcony. We are quite “seasonally” when it comes to BBQ. If you can not sit comfortably together outdoors we are not doing it. No mam ;P A delicious salad like this Simple & Easy Red Beet Salad, however, is something we like to prepare all year round. No need to fire up a grill for that. A stove (or oven), but not a grill ;P

Turkish Bulgur Salad (Kisir)

Salad No Reply

The moment you start planning a bbq for your family or friends there is always that one question: what do we serve along with the grilled meat and sausages? Well… here in Germany most of the time people will probably go for a simple potato salad or pasta salad because people like those salads and they will complain the least about them… oooor you could make this delicious Bulgur Salad aka. Kisir. You will definitely not hear any complaints about that one either. Pretty sure about that ;P
