Potatoes or sweet potatoes are always a delicious gluten-free side dish. You can serve them in many ways, for example, baked, pureed, fried, or boiled. In this recipe, I spiraled the potatoes and baked them with the skin in the oven. This makes the outside edges very crispy and taste almost like potato chips, while the inside has a delicious soft and almost creamy texture. I created this recipe as a side dish for my Easter recipe Herb Crusted Lamb with Carrots and Broccolini.
There are many ways to prepare sweet potatoes, just like carrots. You can enjoy them raw, cooked, fried, or out of the oven like in this recipe. They’re not only delicious, but also a great source of beta-carotene, which helps raise the vitamin A level in our blood. Adding just a little fat helps to extract the beta-carotene even more. This recipe I created as a side dish for my Wild Christmas Menu where it accompanies a delicious Fillet of Venison on Sweet Potato Gratin, Brussels Sprouts, Red Wine Shallots, and Juniper Berry Foam. The slightly sweet nutty flavor of the sweet potato combined with intense thyme flavor goes very well with it.
Comfort food is great especially in the cold season, and a good home-made soup is easy to prepare, will keep our body warm, and doesn’t require the addition of a lot of fat. In this soup, I’m combining chestnuts and wild duck breast, topped by delicious orange foam. Chestnuts are very healthy and have a beautiful, rich, sweet, and starchy flavor which perfectly complements the salty smoked wild duck breast.
Savoy cabbage is not something that I’ve cooked much in the past, not because I don’t like it, mostly because it’s not been top of my mind. Since I’m trying to leave out carbs in our day-to-day food, I’ve been looking for ingredients to substitute in my meals for a healthier living. That’s when savoy cabbage came back to my mind, and I looked around for different ways of cooking it. I found interesting recipes that filled and rolled the cabbage, but often with rice or similar. The following recipe is my carb-free modification. I served it to my friends and they liked it very much. My husband also liked it, but in his opinion, a bit more of the spices could have been added. Feel free to add more of the spices or substituted them with different flavors. I think you can go very creative with this recipe.
Nearly every child likes Spaghetti Bolognese or Lasagne, and so do mine and nearly all their friends. It’s always a winner as a kids meal when we have guests for dinner. And not only kids like the Bolognese Sauce, a delicious home made pasta dish with this sauce is also a nice weekday meal for my husband and myself.
