This is still a winter recipe: The great and tradi

(Unbezahlte Werbung) So, the @afba_at winners 2020

(Unbezahlte Werbung) So, the @afba_at winners 2020 decided to post a red beet recipe this week! Well, I tried out a red beet risotto yesterday - but honestly: I did not like it 😉 and light was too dark to create a good photo. So I decided to post my favourite winter salad which I prepared for Christmas Dinner 2017 for my family. Well, those times families could come together so easily... and we had a glass of Burgenland white wine by one of the great winegrowers from my hometown Neusiedl am See: @weingut_rittsteuer
For this salad take spinach salad as one of the main ingredients (crazy about it!) and mix a dressing using walnut oil and pomegranate molasses (from a Persian store). The red beet has to be cooked, peeled and cut into pieces (I cut out forms like biscuits). Then sprinkle roasted sesame, walnuts and pomegranate seeds on the salad!!!
Enjoy!
So, curious about my colleagues:

HAPPY YALDA!!!
In Persian tradition the longest night of the year is celebrated with coming together around a table of fruits like pomegranates or melons and reading poems.
The longest night means that days will be brighter and that we are looking forward to Nowruz in 89 days - Persian New Year and the beginning of spring!
Let’s think about brighter days!!!

The @afba_at winners decided to post a special recipe based on a seasonal or common topic every month. So we have chosen ‚pumpkin‘ for this first post.

Well, I had less time the last days and two kitties running around and climbing up every cupboard...
Finally I decided for date tahini balls with vanilla bean powder and ground pumpkin seeds! 🎃
For this recipe take 12 fresh dates, 2 tablespoons of tahini, a pinch of vanilla bean powder (not vanilla sugar) and 1 teaspoon ground pumpkin seeds and mix all in a kitchen chopper. Then form balls and sprinkle them with more ground pumpkin seeds.
Enjoy!!!

Today I decided to have an easy but tasty Lunch with pointed cabbage I had found at the local market:
‘Spitzkohlfleckerl’, a dish my Mom discovered lately. It comes close to the Viennese ‘Krautfleckerl’ because of the sweet note of this dish. Sugar is caramelised for the ‘Spitzkohlfleckerl’, too. And again: A perfect dish for the #alleswirdgutküche

So we are facing Lockdown 2 - I still want to believe that when there is the chance to learn, then we may learn to hope, to stand together and to be thankful for the simplicity in life and for the important things that matter.
So, this rainy weekend has been for cooking again! Again I am thankful for the inspiration given by @alexandrapalla and her campaign #alleswirdgutküche
And for this simple way of cooking I want to present my one and only favourite soup: a veggie soup with a lot of fresh and organic vegetables especially red beet! Important for me is to start with leek and to sauté the veggies in a wok. I cook the whole soup in the wok adding some water and in the beginning turmeric and coriander seed. Then today I created some dumplings coming close to Matzo balls, an old Jewish recipe. You find a recipe for Matzo balls on my blog, just enter „Matzebällchen“.

(Unbezahlte Werbung) Today I tried out a recipe that my granny had cooked, only sometimes, when she did not have to cook for the whole family but when she cooked for grandpa and herself. This recipe, called ‘Grenadiermarsch’, has been labeled a ‚poor people‘s dish‘. But I think that one is able to spice it up! And - I had to think of the wonderful challenge by @alexandrapalla initiated during the lockdown #alleswirdgutküche - we shall inspire and motivate each other with cooking with ingredients we have at home: simple but good!!!
So, I used cooked potatoes and noodles (farfalle) for my dish. I sautéed red onions with Hannes Pinterits‘ great paprika powder (sweet and spicy) and added the potatoes and noodles together with less vegetable stock and a lot of dried marjoram. As a salad I served Chinese cabbage with a dressing made of olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, cumin, sumac, fresh parsley and pomegranate seeds!

(Unbezahlte Werbung) As I mentioned yesterday, I feel very happy and thankful to be nominated in two fields of @afba_at
So, these are the categories I am nominated for: ‘Willkommen daheim’, ‘Feeling home kitchen’, partner is @meinadeg and ‘Gastland Schweden’, ‘Swedish Lifestyle’, partners are @ikeaaustria and @swedeninat
For the category ‘Willkommen daheim’ I had chosen my recipe ‚Burgenländische Krautsuppe’, a cross-cultural recipe, crossing borders and focusing on my grandfather‘s story of fleeing from Hungary to Burgenland after the uprising of 1956.
And, a cross-cultural recipe, too - my recipe for the Swedish category - a warm salad with bulgur and red beet - I called it ‚Sweden meets Orient‘.

I have been out of order the last week and this weekend because of the death of our beloved cat Apollo - have had a very special relationship with this 17 year old ‘boy’. But now I will return to my plans and to Steppe und Stadt - and I am very happy about my shortlist nomination in two fields of the great @afba_at competition!!!!! 😊🙏

(Unbezahlte Werbung) There is a new report online about my talk with farmer and producer Hannes Pinterits in Burgenland. His spices, for instances marjoram, saffron or fenugreek, and his oils, like coriander seed oil, are outstanding!!!
It’s about the quality of food - and: life!

(Unbezahlte Werbung) Last Friday I met an inspiring farmer in Burgenland, who is producing spices that I do appreciate a lot: Hannes Pinterits. But yet had no time to write the report because had to preserve our own harvest from our Pannonian-Persian garden. But: I used the Pannonian saffron by Hannes Pinterits for my fig jam!!!
The report will follow!

Last Saturday I decided to go to Burgenland for visiting my parents and for doing some work in our garden - and for harvesting. I came back to Vienna with tomatoes, a lot of herbs like parsley, basil and tarragon. Then we harvested Dad‘s grapes and found some of those figs called Ronde de Bordeaux. So my tip for a healthy snack: Fresh organic fruits like figs or grapes and roasted almonds! I talked about those roasted almonds in my @afba_at webinar about the Persian Cuisine. For this tasty snack I roast the almonds (about 200 grams) in a non-stick pan. Then, when they are hot, I do add fresh lime juice (one lime) and sea salt. Best with Persian Mast-o khiar, yoghurt with cucumber and mint!
