À la Dankertier

For my birthday, my cousin and his girlfriend came to visit. Yes, we spend 4 days living the four of us in a 28m2 (multiply by 10 if you want in feet square ;). Although this was crazy, it was also very nice. I will post later a wonderful recipe that Rémi and Charlotte made for us but now, I want to share a very nice marinade recipe. It was the beginning of spring, and the weather was wonderful, but cold. We decided to go to the island and have our very first BBQ of the year. Take some nice boneless chicken part. For some weird reason, the cheaper chicken you can have here is boneless, breast frozen, so I unfroze it first. To help the chicken cook faster, I cut it to make many smaller, thiner piece (otherwise, it takes forever). Mix the raw chicken with 1 clove of garlic, peeled and crushed, 30ml of each: soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice and honey . The chicken will be delicious even if it marinate just for a couple of hours. We later re-use that recipe and let it in the marinade...

This is one of those extremely quick and nice recipe. My sister has a book of quick and excellent recipe and this one is a family favorite that I decided to share with André a couple of weeks ago. Those who know me well know I looooove sweet and salty recipes in general. This one is particularly well balance, and really easy to make. The ingredient list is for 3-4 people. In a big pot, bring water to boil to cook 375g of pasta , al dente. In the meanwhile, put a big pan on medium high heat and add 30 ml of butter to melt. Cut 250g of ham (cooked or not) and roast it in the butter. Quickly cut in half-slices 2 green apples and add it to the pan. Cook until everything is a nice shade of golden. Add 3-5 green onion , finely chopped (the recipe calls for 12, which is like... wooooo!). Check the pasta regularly, it should be done soon! In the pan, add a big pinch of nutmeg and 125ml of apple juice and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Add 250ml of cream 15% (or a mixture...

Once again, let's thank Mr. Oliver for his nice, wonderfully tasting recipe . Spring in Göteborg was fabulous in March, but it was grey and rainy in April, so we still needed some nice comfort food from time to time. For my birthday, at the end of March, my cousin and his Belgian girlfriend came to surprise me for a nice weekend stay here in Sweden. We went around, had our first BBQ on the islands and at the end of the day, lasagna seemed like a natural choice: I wanted to try that recipe for a couple of weeks and this is something that is easily sharable with many people. Of course, I re-interpreted the recipe, for normal people, but this is still clearly Jamie's style and goodness! The recipe is for 8 to 10 peoples. The picture does not do justice to this dish! Preheat the oven to 180°C (350F). In a large pan, slowly fry 50g of bacon with a pinch of cinnamon , until golden. Finely chop an onion and a carrot and add it to the pan along with 2 cloves or garlic , pressed,...
