Eine Handvoll Suppennudeln einführen – die Suppe ist fertig, wenn die Nudeln gar […]
Holunder/ Elderberry
It’s still a little early to pluck elderberries, but we had some time on our hands. In general you should wait until all the berries are black. Do not eat raw, they are poisonous when eaten raw. I have unpleasant childhood memories and still feel a little nauseous when I smell the berries. Nevertheless, I’m […]
Pickling green tomatoes
A great way to use green tomatoes is pickles. As always, make sure to use sterile glasses, clean surfaces and tools. We used garlic, curry leaves, mustard seeds and chilis in the mix. Cut tomatoes and fill everything in a glass. Dissolve salt in water (5gr of salt per 100ml) and pour onto the tomatoes. […]
Portulak / Purslane
When we started our garden in April, we planted summer purslane. That was a really stupid move as we were soon to find out. It grew nicely with thick yellowish leaves. At the same time, every inch of earth in our garden covered itself with it’s wild sister, wild purslane. Smaller and greener leaves with […]
Tender cabbage recipe
Yosef will be responsible for the recipe itself. It takes quite a while in the oven but is a tasty and different take on this plant. As for white cabbage itself, we grew some and had a huge harvest. Pro tip: the heads re-grow if you cut them early in the season and leave outer […]
Pickled Watermelon
We plucked our one and only watermelon way too early. It was too sad to throw it away, so: pickle it. I picked a recipe for winter pumpkin and used it in the watermelon. You need a clean glass with an airtight cover. Really clean, as in: boil before use. Peel and cut into small […]
Ice, Ice, Baby
Hot? Cool: Earl Grey Cinnamon Ice Tea. Something we brought back from a visit to Sri Lanka (proud home to both amazing tea and the sweetest of cinnamons). Take a big glass or can (1,5l). Add two canes of cinnamon and 3 spoons of Earl Grey tea, top up with boiling water and let steep […]
Zucchini by the ton, what to do?
Just read a tweet of someone who announced; if you are a beginner at gardening, you should know that one zucchini plant will supply enough crop for a mid-sized city. So true. We were lucky to harvest zucchini after zucchini after zucchini. We gave away some, we pickled some, we filled some with meet, we […]
Shakshuka
