Grilled Spatchcock Chicken With A Marmalade Glaze
Grilled Spatchcock Chicken With Orange Marmalade Glaze. Here we go with another grilling recipe folks, a spatchcock chicken is the perfect fodder for the grill. The orange marmalade glaze is the perfect sweet and sticky glaze for the bird too! Parcel it up with some simply grilled asparagus which also has a great affinity with orange and you are good to go! Orange and chicken work so well together. But [...]
Asparagus and Pea Casarecce Pasta
It feels like an eternity since I have shared a pasta recipe, this spring inspired Asparagus and Pea Casarecce Pasta recipe fixes that. For me peas and asparagus really do signify spring.
Grilled Rump Steak With Chimichurri Sauce
Let's just say I am loving being outside right now and that is exactly where I am typing up this Grilled Rump Steak With Chimichurri Sauce recipe. Kind of apt as it was both where it was cooked and consumed.
Chicken Waldorf Salad Wrap
Summer is most definitely here in central Europe and I headed out to our favourite picnic spot to photograph these wonderful Chicken Waldorf Salad Wraps. I know the sacrifices I make for you guys!
Tuna Steak With Lemon Caper Sauce
Yes folks more tuna and a rather foxy and fancy looking Seared Tuna Steak with a lemon caper sauce. Unlike my last Asian inspired tuna steak recipe this one is much more ‘European’ in its influence.
BBQ Chicken Wings With A Mango Glaze
I make no apologies about posting two wing recipes so close to each other. These BBQ Chicken Wings with a Mango Glaze are my celebration of the opening of grilling season for us!
Pork Tenderloin with Pickled Fennel and Carrots
Pork tenderloin feels like the perfect meat for this time of year. Quick to cook, light and lean and it sits perfectly alongside pickles like this pickled fennel and carrots.
Honey and Soy Glazed Seared Tuna Steak
Honey and Soy Glazed Seared Tuna Steak With Pak Choi. Oooo look what I found... Tuna steak is a really rare and really rather expensive find here in Eastern Hungary. But I just could not resist buying it and revisiting an idea I used to cook once a week back in the UK. In fact, I bought enough for at least a couple of tuna steak recipes here on krumpli! Of course [...]
Smoked Pork Loin Salad
You Need Smoked Pork Tenderloin In Your Life! Smoked pork loin is an ingredient I don’t see very often when floating around the internet. But it is one that I see all the time here in stores. I have been using this smoked pork tenderloin as the meat element in salads for a few years. I love it, it has a smoky tinge as you would expect and the most [...]
Sticky Spicy Pineapple Pork Belly
I firmly believe along with many other cooks that the cheaper and fattier cuts of meat have lots more flavour than the leaner more expensive cuts. As a result you should prepare yourself for a real flavour sensation with this Pineapple Pork Belly.
Duck Ragu With Bucatini Pasta
Spring is definitely here now and just like my last recipe of Salmon Fish Cakes this Duck Ragu is designed to be one of those bridge recipes to tie me over until the spring produce really arrives.
Sardine and Salmon Fish Cakes With Creamed Leeks
If you have been hanging out here for a while you a) need to get out more and b) know that I have a bit of a thing for fish cakes, as a result the appearance of these salmon fish cakes should not be a surprise. They appear at a time of the year that is always very strange as a cook because it is not quite summer but not really hearty comfort food weather either.
General Tso’s Chicken
General Tso’s chicken. General Tso’s Chicken is one of those relatively modern day dishes with a surprisingly disputed history. One would think that dishes developed as recently as the 1970’s would have their history clearly defined. It is a constant source of amusement that this is often not the case. In similar fashion the history of both the Chicken Tikka Masala and Balti Curry are both hotly disputed. What is undeniably true is that [...]
Instant Pot Braised Pork Belly With Apples and Puffed Crackling
Sometimes spending time in the kitchen to create a tasty meal and for me this is undeniably one of those meals! It is as cheap as chips to make and owing to the magic of pork belly it packs a punch of flavour that most meats cannot get anywhere near. I have written about pork belly before here on Krumpli and it is certainly one of my favourite cuts of meat.
Pan Fried Cod with Peas and Leeks
Pan Fried Cod with Peas and Leeks. Cod is a rare find here in Hungary as a result I wanted to keep this dish simple and opted the simplest of all methods. A simple pan fried cod fillet. I really do wish I could cook with cod or pollock more often, alas it is a rare treat. Peas have definitely featured here a fair bit in recent weeks. My desire [...]
Traditional Cornish Pasty
A traditional Cornish Pasty dates back to the 13th century and unsurprisingly is the source of much discussion, nay argument. However to call this dish famous in the UK would be an understatement, any food stuff name checked in classics like the Robin Hood Chronicles, the Canterbury Tales and no less than three works of Shakespeare is no shrinking violet.
Pea, Bacon and Pasta Soup
My latest recipe of Pea, Bacon and Pasta Soup may sound unusual but it is actually based on an old Italian recipe of pasta squares and peas in broth.
Smoked Trout Potato Frittata
This Smoked Trout Potato Frittata is another smoked fish recipe hereon krumpli, one that joins a fairly long list. In many ways this is because it is difficult to get fish that is to my taste here on the great Hungarian Plain, but also because I love the stuff.
