Couscous Salad

I used to have a friend in elementary school whoes parents were from turkey. I remember that they had a cook out in their backyard and they served this delicious Bulgur salad. It had the same ingredients as my Couscous salad, but was just made with Turkish Bulgur. I love the fresh taste of this salad. The mint gives it an incredible flavor. In my local supermarket they did not have bulgur, so I bought couscous. You can make it with either one of them. Couscous comes from the North African cuisine and is a durum wheat. Bulgur is also a durum wheat and come from the middle eastern. So you see it is pretty similar.

You need:

100g Couscous
200ml boiling water
200g Cucumber
6-8 cherry Tomatoes
8-10 Mint leaves
1/2 red Onion
Juice of half a lemon
2 EL Oliveoil
Salt/Pepper

 And that's how you do it:

1. Pour 200ml of boiling water over the Couscous and let it soak for about 10mins.

2. While the Couscous is soaking cut tomatoes, cucumber, onion and mint into little pieces and put it all together in a bowl. Now you add the lemon juice and oliveoil and add some salt and pepper as you please.










3. When the Couscous is ready you mix it with the vegetables. If necessary you can add some more salt and pepper. I think after the Couscous is added it takes away some of the seasoning. Now it is ready to serve!

Guten Appetit!

Broccoli Fritatas

You need:

1 Broccoli

1 red Onion

100g Feta chees

40g Almond meal

2 Eggs

Salt/Pepper

And that's how you do it:                                      Cut the broccoli into small pieces. Cook it for about 10 min in boiling salt water. While the broccoli cooks cut the onion and feta chees into small pieces and mix it up in a bowl with the eggs and the almond meal. Now you can add some salt and pepper as you please. When the broccoli is soft you add it to your other ingredients and mix it up.

Now you make little balls out of the mixture and put it in a preheated pan for about 10 min. Wait for it to turn gold/brown on the outside, so you have a little bit crispy.

It tastes even better if you serve it with some sour cream to dip.

Guten Appetit!
