Summer is back in the Netherlands and ya girl made a tasty drink with Supermalt!

A traditional preparation of mussels cannot be missed, but this one also gets a twist in The Spiced Chickpea! The mussels from Zeeland are cooked with white wine and the Korean flavour maker: Gochujang, a slightly sweet red chili paste made from fermented beans. When the mussels are cooked, you can add linguine or serve it with bread or fries. It’s perfect for a Summer meal and great with a glass of vino!

This recipe is inspired by my Mom’s recipe and it’s something she used to make for us on a Saturday. I woke up with those delicious smells and ate the eggs with leftover rice or a baguette. It was so good! 🥰 So, thanks Mom and I hope you enjoy it too!

I love Sugarsnap Peas! I love them steamed with some olive oil and salt & pepper, tossed through pasta or sautéed with some other veggies, but my favorite way of making them is with Asian spices and just eating them with plain rice or serving it as a side. Try it out and let me know yourself!

Eggplant or aubergine? The English prefer the latter, the North-Americans use the former and ya girl prefers them roasted in the oven, topped with spicy Harissa lentils and some Labneh to finish it off 🥰

Now I love a sweet and milky tea when it’s hot and soy based as I don’t really like or can handle cow’s milk, but that’s maybe a side note haha Yet, tea and milk go well and combined with some chewy tapioca balls (or boba pearls) it’s even better!

It’s a lot for a title, but I honestly didn’t know what to call this vegetarian dinner? Do you? Or should I just call out all the components and make it into a title haha... Anyways, for this weeknight meal, I combined Asian flavours with Italian ingredients and plated it up like the French do. By now you must know I love a little fusion and confusion ;-) But the real question is, would you try this out?

On toast, in a salad, a wrap or as a side-dish, this Eggplant & Pomegranate Salad w/ Harissa is amazing! It’s packed with flavor and will please the meat eaters too. Are you ready for the next sexy side dish?
