When the elder blossoms, the whole garden smells of its flowers and Mrs. Holle comes back to our memory with all senses. This is the right time to make an elderflower syrup. The syrup is easy to make and you can use it in many ways, whether mixed with water and an orange peel or in the evening as an aperitif with some sparkling wine or Prosecco. It tastes great for any occasion!
Even the kids are happy, especially my big daughter. She loves the syrup more than anything.

And with every sip we remember Mrs. Holle! Long live the elderberry!

Here now the recipe:

 

Gently rinse the freshly picked elderflowers with cold water and drain in a large colander, gently and lightly shake dry if necessary.

 

Meanwhile, bring the sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan. Add a little lemon juice and stir occasionally. When it has boiled, let it cool a bit. In the meantime, put the elderflowers in a large pot. Cut the lemon into thin slices and place them on top.

Then pour the still hot sugar-water-lemon mixture over the elderberry (and the lemon slices). Now the whole thing must infuse for 2-3 days. Then pour the syrup through a sieve and fill it into a well-sealable bottle. In the refrigerator it keeps now about 2-3 weeks.

Have fun & enjoy!

Now in the summer when it’s hot outside you’re not always very hungry and you don’t need a hot meal every day. If it must go quickly I have for you the following recipe:

 

Wash all the ingredients once. Halve the tomatoes, cut the peppers into long strips, wash the lamb’s lettuce and shake dry, peel the carrot into thin slices and cut the cucumber into round slices. Decorate everything on a plate, leaving some space in the middle for the rice. Cook the rice in a pot. When it is ready, pour it into a small bowl (like the one used for creme brulee) and then quickly place the bowl in the center of the plate. Lift it up and the rice cake is ready. Chop the almonds into small pieces, cut the onions into fine strips. Cut dates into small pieces. Add the corn, olives almonds, onions and dates. Decorate the rice cakes with chili peppers and add some lemon juice.

 

 

Enjoy it!

This is actually my favorite smoothie because it tastes just heavenly with woodruff and melon!

In addition with this smoothie you can have a better sleep and do somthing for your healthy.

 

If you do not have any fresh Blackberries, you can use also frozen wild berries. As you may see on the photo, I have used frozen wild berries and pretty fresh young Brachberry leaves.

Put all the ingrediences in a mixer or in a mixing kitchen maid.

If you are using a Thermomix, take stage 9 and mix it about 2 Minutes and 30 secondes.

You will get out approximately 4 smoothies. If you do not have 4 personnes who will dring them now, you can fill the liquide also in clean old smoothie glases, close them well and drink them in the next 2-3 days latest.

 

Enjoy your Beautiful Dreamer Smoothie!

Holy Thursday Soup

Tags :

Easter time is a special time. The first bulbs appear, wild herbs can be found, the first plants sprout and you can enjoy the blooming and fragrant buds. Nature awakens and you can literally watch it grow. To drive away the winter and welcome the spring, I have here a recipe for a Maundy Thursday soup. Maundy Thursday soup is one of the oldest customs. The beauty of it is that you need 9 wild herbs and they should be local. I always do this on a walk through the surrounding fields and woodlands. I take a cloth bag and a pair of scissors with me and swing on the bike to collect the first edible wild herbs I come across on my little excursion.

If you are already familiar with herbs, you can give free rein to your creativity. Important is,
– that they are edible wild herbs,
– that you pick a handful of each variety and, of course, only the most beautiful leaves, flowers and stems and
– that there are 9 different kinds of wild herbs.

Wild herbs contain many more minerals and vitamins than the food we buy in the supermarket. Therefore, the Maundy Thursday soup also helps to get rid of spring fatigue and gives us more strength again. It also has a cleansing effect on the body.

The number nine is important here, because three times three is nine. It is a sacred number.

My 9 found wild herbs are as follows:

 

There is unfortunately no photo of the chickweed, because it was raining and stormy when I picked it.

The soup is prepared as follows:

First, peel the onion and cut it into small pieces. While you sauté the onions in the butter, peel the potatoes and cut them into smaller pieces.
Add them to the onions in the pot and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every now and then. Finally, deglaze with the vegetable broth and let it simmer gently for another 5 minutes.

In the meantime, cut the bread into no cubes and fry them in a little olive oil in a pan. You can season with a little salt, pepper and thyme.

Now wash the wild herbs very well. I wash and rinse them about 3 times with water. Then I put them in a salad spinner and spin them dry. Then they are chopped into small pieces. Now turn down the stove temperature so that the two-leaf potato mixture no longer boils and add the wild herbs. The soup must now simmer for another 5 minutes. It is important that the soup does not boil, otherwise the vitamins of the wild herbs will be lost. Now add the crème fraîche and puree the soup. Then it is ready to serve.

Bon appetite!

Cream cheese with garlic rocket

Tags :

The garlic ragwort helps against spring tiredness and is a medicinal herb which provides many vitamins and minerals. It contains a high content of vitamin C and stimulates the detoxification of the body through the kidneys.

I have garlic ragwort growing in 3 places in my garden. In the spring I often flick it into my cream cheese and eat it for supper. It tastes like garlic as its name suggests. However, it only tastes like it. It does not give the typical aftertaste or garlic breath. That is its unbeatable advantage!

If you want to try the recipe with peppers, I recommend you first wash a few leaves of garlic radish (4-5 leaves) and chop them in a blender on high speed at 4-5 seconds. Then add half a bell bell pepper or optionally 1/4 yellow and 1/4 red bell bell pepper. Crush the peppers together with the garlic radish in a blender on speed 5-6 for about 4-5 seconds.

Now, in a bowl, put the package of cream cheese and add salt, pepper and a little mineral water. The mineral water is best mixed with the cream cheese with a whisk. When the desired creaminess is reached, add the chopped bell pepper and garlic mixture to the cream cheese and mix everything together.

Enjoy it!

Green Smoothie

In spring, we often still feel a bit limp and lacking in energy. To counteract this, smoothies help very well. You can put them in smoothie jars, close tightly, store in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days. This is a good support to take the daily recommended dose of vegetables and fruits.

Since wild herbs contain more ingredients than the things we can buy in the supermarket, I always add a few seasonal wild herbs to each of my smoothies as well.

In March there are not so many of them yet. For this reason, I added some dandelion leaves to this smoothie.
All ingredients need to be washed thoroughly before you process them. The vegetables should be of the best quality and therefore use organic quality if possible.

 

 

 

First, the fruit should be put in the blender. Then comes the vegetables. Everything should be cut into coarse pieces. For apples, only the ends should be cut off. The casing can also be chopped. The cucumber I always peel around as shown in the photo.
You should add about 1/4 liter of water and some ice cubes so that the smoothie is nice and cold. The avocado makes the smoothie extra creamy.

When you have mixed all the ingredients, you can pour the liquid through a funnel into the empty and clean smoothie glasses and close them well.

 

Enjoy it!
