Beetroot and Quinoa Burgers

By
beetroot and quinoa burgers

These baked beetroot and quinoa burgers are gluten-free to make them ultra-healthy. The earthy patties are made with chickpeas, onion, garlic, strawberries, pistachios and an egg. Those red fritters will go in any bun perfectly. Red beetroot, red quinoa, red pepper and why not a few strawberries to make it extra red and tasty? Those red patties are a great alternative to falafel or meat. They go where you like them to go, whether it’s a veggie burger, a wrap, a salad or just a snack by itself. These beetroot and quinoa burgers are also gluten-free since I’ve used the famous buckwheat flour. You simply have to do different shapes, depending on what you intend to do with them. To Serve with Serve them with a bunch of different vegetables on the table, and everyone does their own mix. You can add nice tzatziki, mayo or an avocado-tahini sauce (check my…

Easy Shrimp Tartare

By
Shrimp Tartare

A simple shrimp tartare with a layer of avocado, lime marinated raw shrimps topped with lovely strawberry pieces. You’ll impress your guests with this one, and no cooking involved! Shrimp tartar is quite simple to make and taste simply divine, without saying it’s looks irresistible. The base of the dish is similar to a shrimp ceviche, simply needing to marinate the fresh shrimps in lime juice for a couple of hours. The bigger the size of the shrimp the longer you’ll need to marinate it. By definition, tartare means finely cut and served raw. Most of the time, beef or fish is used but today, will do a shrimp tartare for a change! I believe strawberries and avocados are a match made in heaven. First, their colours are the perfect contrast and appetizing and the creamy smooth avocado and the acidic and firm strawberry pair beautifully. Variations You can use this as a…

Vanilla Sponge Cake with Strawberries

Vanilla Sponge Cake with strawberries

Yesterday was the birthday of my husband and he is such a traditional guy… meaning … every year, he wants the same exact cake; a simply white vanilla cake with strawberries. I, on the other hand, am a nontraditional one and love to change a little something every time I make his cake… I change it just enough, so he doesn’t feel much of the difference… For example last year, I add a lemon essence to the cake… The year before that, I’ve used blueberries and raspberries as extras… and this year I’ve made a sponge cake and add some almonds. I wanted to add a little rum syrup to the sponge cake… but I’ve got lazy… maybe next year. The magic in sponge cake is in the egg whites. No need for baking powder, the eggs will make the magic happen. This type of cake result into a quite airy…

Coconut Mousse

By
Strawberries with Coco-lime

A cold and airy Coconut Mousse with a touch of lime to serve on your strawberries is the new way to go! Simple, and easy to make, you’ll never get back to whipped cream. You’ll say this looks exactly like the simple cup of strawberries topped with whipped cream… boring… but you are far from the truth! This is coconut milk infused with makrut lime leaves and turned into a foamy cloud. As soon as you’ll taste it, you’ll wish for the rest of your life, to have this mousse instead of whipped cream. I ate it, at first, in one of my favourite restaurants, as a side to a “Chocolate fondant” dessert. Coconut Mousse is so delicious! Technique You’ll need a siphon to foam it, without it you won’t be able to foam it up. Siphon is the last “kitchen gadget” I got myself… especially to reproduce this coco-lime mousse and I…

All you’ll need for this recipe is a bunch of those “ruby jewels” that is strawberries and some good old friend: oat. It’s such an easy and simple dessert, that nobody should be able to resist.

So let’s get those oven proof ramekin or small pot you own and let’s get that fruity bite ready!
