Since I don’t live with my family, they tend to prepare all my favourite things when I visit. It’s been a while since I had proper slavic cooking. 🥲 (in the picture- schnitzels, halusky, potato puree and sauerkraut)
Got hungry while watching the World Cup ;)
The Gyros is made with chickenbreast as I don't like pork. Fries from the airfryer and a basic Tzatziki (Greek yoghurt, olive oil, loads of garlic, spritz of lemon, salt and of course cucumber :) )
Mpanatigghi are these unusual biscuits from Modica, shaped like empandillas and filled with a mixture of dark chocolate, minced meat, sugar, cinnamon and lemon zest.
The crust is light and crumbly and the filling sweet and spiced, like a rich medjool date paste.
Modica, a lovely baroque Sicilian city, is famous for its chocolate. I tried these at Antica Dolceria Bonajuto, the oldest chocolate factory in Sicily, founded in 1880.
Here’s their recipe, for the curious bakers like me:
With roast potatos, broad beans, beets and red currant jam.
Milka cake—one of the most delicious cakes I’ve ever made. Everyone who tried it absolutely loved it, which is why I made it twice in a row: once as a round cake and the other time as square bars. No matter the shape, it tastes perfect. You can find the recipe and instructions in the video comments. Bon appétit! :)
Bevor die ganzen “Experten” ihren Senf dazugeben … Ragú = Fleischsauce. Und nein … ist nicht die bekannteste von allen.
The fries and salad were homemade. I bought the minced rolls, and my boyfriend grilled them. I prefer a mix of lamb/sheep and beef.
He prefers them with Ajvar, mustard, red onion rings, and flatbread.
(Homemade) They are made during Christmas season.
Fun-fact: Everyone says that their grandmothers’ recipe is the best.
