First courses and starters
Winter salads: hake and shrimp sprinkles: Although this year it seems that it is not as raw as in previous years, also at this time we like to prepare winter salads like this hake and shrimp spatter with which to solve a dinner without complicating much . In winter it is also very convenient to take salads, but logically we have to adapt them so that they are more protein and make us feel good even though the outside temperature is lower. A good way to do this is with recipes that use cooked fish and shellfish to enrich the usual mix of chopped vegetables.
Black eggs stuffed with tuna, surimi and prawns. The recipe that will have to talk among your guests: yes, you read correctly, black eggs. A much simpler recipe to prepare than you imagine and that will not leave indifferent any of the guests.
Lasagna Soup Easy and comforting recipe When the cold squeezes what you most want are comforting dishes that help us get warm. For this there is nothing like turning on the oven or the spoon options, and today's recipe unites both ideas a bit. A dish of baked stuffed pasta au gratin is the most succulent, but this version of lasagna soup is a much simpler and faster alternative that is not far behind.
Flammkuchen de crème fraîche with purple onion, goat cheese and pear. German pizza recipe: this is a recipe that I like because it is traditional from certain regions, has different variants and demonstrates the cultural influences between different cuisines. This Flammkuchen de crème fraîche with purple onion, goat cheese and pear I like to call it “German pizza” because the base is a flat bakery dough, although it is very different from the Italian specialty.
