Mediterranean

We ate a soup at our friend Astrid’s who is a great cook. And since she had a French mother, we have pretty much exactly the same taste. We know exactly what we think is ‘délicieux’ from each other. She made a soup with fried lemon zest in it. Not normally tasty. And so I made it a few days later in the restaurant. Almost too good to be true.

Tomato soup is always good anyway. But if he still manages to surprise, that’s great. And this one does. The fennel seeds and borlotti beans are responsible for this. And those borlotti beans add body and bite to the soup. And that really makes a difference.

This is a surprisingly surprising salad I must say. Orzo is addictively delicious because of its structure, the beans give crunch and the pesto does its spicy and spicy work together with the arugula and the red pepper. Incredibly tasty, also as a meal salad.

In addition to a sweet dish, I like to put down a fresher dish. I love those complementary or sometimes even contrasting flavors. That’s how I came up with the idea of cooking rice in citrus juices. Of course, depending on what you want, you can make it from quite sweet to a bit more bitter or sour. It’s just what you want. In any case, it is really very different. And that’s always nice, such a surprise.
