Homemade granola with coconut oil

2014-09-30T17:35:00.000+02:00

Granola is so addictive!!! I love it :) I wanted to try to make some myself, to be able to control what I was putting inside. And what I love with homemade granola is that you can vary the ingredients all of the time and add your favorite fresh or dry fruits!!

Homemade granola with coconut oil

Serving: 1 Prep Time: 5min Passive time: 10min Cook time: 35min Total time: 50min

Ingredients:

2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup hazelnuts, whole
1/2 cup ground almond
3 tbsp coconut oil
3 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp salt

Direction:

1. Preheat the oven to 310°F (155°C).

2. Combine oats, almond, salt, and hazelnut in a bowl, stir to combine.

3. In a microwavable bowl add honey and coconut oil. Heat for 30s or until coconut oil is dissolved.

4. Poor the mixture over the oats/almond/hazelnuts, stir until everything is well coated.

5. Place a baking sheet on a baking dish and spread evenly your granola. Bake the granola 35 minutes in total but stir it regularly (every 10 minutes or so) to insure that all the surface of the granola is cooked. The time to bake may vary depending on oven, so keep an eye on it! I may have burnt my first one ;)

5. Let the granola cool completely (this is how it will form clusters) and break it into pieces before storing it in a glass jar.

Bon appétit!

Homemade Guacamole with pine nuts

2014-08-31T10:32:00.001+02:00

I always loved guacamole. But homemade! I think I never bought myself guacamole already prepared at the shop...but I tried and I really did not like them... at all! Here is the very basic recipe of guacamole that I love to make. Hope you will like it!

Print Recipe

Serving: 2 Prep Time: 20min Passive time: 0min Cook time: 0min

Ingredients:

1 ripe avocado
1/2 shallot (or onion), thinly diced
5-6 cherry tomatoes, cut in little pieces
2 tbsp pine nuts,
1 tsp hot pepper flakes (more or less depending on your taste for spicy dishes!)
1 bunch of coriander, chopped
1 lime or lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste

Direction:

1. Combine all the ingredients and mix while mashing the avocado with a fork.

Tips:

You can serve immediately but I prefer to refrigerate an hour at least, so that all the flavors are more pronounced :)

If you are bored with "regular" guacamole, you can use sun dried tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes, and basil instead of coriander. I love to add pine nuts to my guacamole, it gives a little crunchy taste. You can toast the pine nuts before it you want, but if you do not have time then you are not obliged ;)

Bon appétit!

4 Breakfast Ideas #1

2014-08-22T16:27:00.000+02:00

I post quite a lot of pictures of my breakfasts on Instagram (@daybydayrecipe), but I never write down the recipes because most of the time it is simply put together ingredients. I though I could share here my breakfast and explain them a little bit :)

Print Recipe

4 Breakfast Ideas #1

Serving: 1 Prep Time: 10min Passive time: 0min Cook time: 0min Total time: 10min

1 - Stuffed Papaya

I used half a papaya, I removed the seeds and I put inside 2 tsp of yoghurt, 1 tbsp of granola, and some blueberries. I topped with some chopped mint. I also cut in cube one slice of watermelon. One thing that is not obvious on pictures but that I love to do, is to squeeze half a lemon on the top of my breakfasts.

2 - Salmon egg toasts and fruits

That breakfast could as well be a brunch. Actually I don't remember what it was when I had it... but I remember loving it!

I toasted two gluten free bread slices. I topped each toast with a few arugula leaves, 1/2 a slice of salmon, 1/2 hard boil egg, and a few slices of cucumber.

I place in a little cute bowl 2 tsp of yoghurt, some redcurrant, blueberries, almonds, and mint.

And lemon on everything (I simply cannot eat salmon without lemon... it's like eating cheese without bread... not possible or I become very depressed!).

3 - Fruits and chocolate

I love those little pieces of chocolate. I have been asked several times where I find them. So if that can be of any help, I am living in Switzerland and I do almost all my shopping at the Coop. I find those chocolate pieces at the cake and cake decoration section.
For this breakfast I used 3 tbsp of cottage cheese, 1/4 of a mango, some raspberries and blueberries, a kiwi, some hazelnuts, and I topped everything with chocolate pieces. Oh, and a little bit of mint.

4 - Granola and Fruits

All time breakfast winner: 3 tbsp of granola, half a grapefruit, 3 tbsp of cottage cheese, blueberries, strawberries, mint and lemon!!!! Well I am sure that after I took the photo and posted on Instagram I realised that I forgot to put some chocolate pieces...and of course I fixed my mistake right away!!!
Hope you enjoyed this post! I am thinking to do more of them and also to share my "simple" lunches and dinners in a similar way.

Bon appétit!

Artichoke chips

2014-08-21T13:06:00.000+02:00

Last time I made stuffed artichokes (you can find the recipe by clicking here). Instead wasting the little leaves of the artichoke, I decided to try something original... Hope you will like it!

Serving: 2 Prep Time: 30min Passive time: 0min Cook time: 60min

Please follow the original recipe of the stuffed artichokes in case you are wondering where those leaves come from.

The recipe is quite simple, I kept the tiny leaves of the artichokes and try to do some sort of chips by baking them 10 minutes and then use them for an apero with some dips.

My grand father would be proud of me knowing I did not waste those little artichoke leaves!!!

Pie Tomato Mozzarella Basil

2014-08-20T07:18:00.000+02:00

In french we would call that a "tarte", but I guess we could also call that a pizza...whatever you want to call it it's fine! Cause what is important is that it is very tasty!! and very easy to make :) And it changes a little bit from the traditional salad tomato/mozzarella/basil (which I am a huge fan of!!!).

Print Recipe

Serving: 4 Prep Time: 20min Passive time: 0min Cook time: 30min

Ingredients:

1 pizza crust, or pie crust
1/4 or 1/2 can of tomato purée
80g of cured ham, or prosciutto, or nothing if you want a meat free dish
3 tomatoes, sliced
300g mozzarella, sliced
1 bunch of basil
Seed to decorate, optional
Salt and pepper to taste

Direction:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Dispose the crust on a baking dish, cover with tomato purée.

2. Place ham, tomatoes, mozzarella and basil.

3. You can add some seeds or whatever you like, plus salt and pepper.

4. Bake for 30 minutes. At the end of the baking time, there was a lot of water at the bottom of the pie, so I was a bit afraid that the crust did not cook properly. But actually it was perfect!

Bon appétit!

Salmon tartare with cucumber and mango

2014-07-30T19:20:00.004+02:00

Another recipe of tartare :) This time I wanted to make it "simple" in order to fully taste the salmon, so I simply marinated the salmon with olive oil for an hour. It was so good... I always wish to have more in my plate... much more!

Ingredients:

200g Salmon filet, without skin
1 small cucumber, seeded and diced
1/2 mango, diced
1 shallot, chopped
2 tbs olive oil
Salt and pepper

Direction:

1. The salmon will be much easier to diced if you put it for 15min(ish) in the freezer right before you cut it.

2. In a bowl, mix the cucumber, shallot, mango, and one tbsp of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the fridge for an hour.

3. Dice the salmon in small cubes. Mix in a bowl with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the fridge for an hour.

5. Place a ring mold in the center of one plate. Make a first layer with half of the mango mixture, gently pack it down. Then layer with half of the salmon mixture. Lift the mold....Repeat for the second plate. Et Voilà!

Serve with:

I like to serve tartares with a salad (here I made a cucumber salad) and homemade fries (I baked them with absolutely nothing, not even oil). I also sometime serve tartares with toasts.

Scotch eggs

2014-07-21T10:30:00.000+02:00

After making the little version of scotch eggs with quail eggs i wanted to try the proper version, with big eggs, bread crumbs, and deep frying. That was very good and very filling!

Cottage cheese pancake

2014-07-20T09:56:00.002+02:00

I was a bit tired of eating a bowl with cottage cheese topped with fruits, and a sandwich for breakfast... so I decided to try a recipe that includes cottage cheese and flour. I ended up doing those pancakes that I really liked! But if you are not the biggest fan of cottage cheese -or if you are very picky on your pancake- then this recipe may not be for you. Otherwise enjoy it!!!

Print Recipe

Serving: 2 Prep Time: 5min Passive time: 0min Cook time: 30min

Ingredients:

1/3 cup whole grain flour
1 cup cottage cheese
1 tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp of butter to cook
3 eggs, beaten

Direction:

1. Mix all the ingredients (but the butter to cook). Heat a skillet over low-medium heat and coat with butter. Poor some of the mix in the middle. Do not make too big pancake or you will have difficulty to flip them. Wait until you see bubbles at the surface and flip them with a large spatula. Cook on the other side.

Those pancakes are longer to cook than regular ones. Cooking them over low-medium heat for longer time on each side is the key ;)

Stuffed artichoke

2014-07-17T08:33:00.004+02:00

I never saw or ate stuffed artichoke before. I am glad I tried, that was very good. You can adapt the stuffing by adding ground meat for example, or whatever you want!

Print Recipe

Serving: 2 Prep Time: 30min Passive time: 0min Cook time: 60min

Ingredients:

2 artichokes
2 potatoes, sliced
2 cup spinach, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 tbsp parsley, chopped
3 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
4 sun dried tomatoes, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp bread crumb
Salt and pepper, to taste

Direction:

1. Preheat the oven at 400°F (200°C). Cut the stem of the artichokes. Cook the artichokes for 30 minutes in boiling salty water.

2. Heat oil in a pan on low-medium heat. Add garlic, onion, and potatoes. Cook for 20 minutes or until potatoes are cooked, stir often.

3. Once the artichokes are cooked let them cool down. Remove the tiny leaves in the center (see at the end of the post a recipe to use those tiny leaves).

4. Remove the prickly choke with a spoon.

5. Mix parsley, potatoes, parmesan, spinach, bread crumbs, dried tomatoes, and salt and pepper.

6. Stuff the artichokes with the mix.

7. Place the artichokes in a dish and cover. Cook for 30 minutes.

8. Eat the meat of each leaf and then eat the stuff with the heart of the artichoke! Artichoke is not common every where, so if you are unfamiliar with this vegetable, take a look here to know how to appreciate it: http://www.wikihow.com/Eat-an-Artichoke

If, like me, you do not want to waste the tiny leaves of the artichokes, then try the recipe of artichoke chips here: http://www.daybydayrecipe.com/2014/08/artichoke-chips.html

Niçoise salad with quail eggs

2014-06-28T16:59:00.001+02:00

Another recipe with quail eggs! Hope you are not tired of it :) We really enjoyed this Niçoise salad with good tomates, fresh tuna filet, homemade marinated anchovy, and quail eggs.

Print Recipe

Serving: 1 Prep Time: 20min Passive time: 0min Cook time: 15min Kcal: 402 Net Carbs: 5.6

Ingredients:

110g Tuna filet
5 black olives, sliced
5 anchovies
1 1/2 tsp apple cider (or white wine or red wine) vinegar
5 quail eggs
4 cherry tomatoes, each cut in 4 pieces
50g green beans
75g arugula
10g onion, sliced
1/2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper

Direction:

1. Poor vinegar in a pot of cold water. Gently place the eggs, bring to boil and decrease the temperature to minimum. Simmer for 3 minutes. Place eggs in a bowl of cold water, this will stop the cooking and the it will be much easier to peel them. Peel the eggs and cut them in two pieces.

2. Trim the ends of your beans. This is the boring and long part ;). Blanch the beans in a stock pot of salted boiling water for 3-4 min. Rinse in cold water to stop from cooking. Cut in 3 cm pieces.

3. Cook the tuna on a hot pan for 2 minutes over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper and cook 2 more minutes on the other side. You can cook longer depending on the size of your tuna.

4. Place the arugula on plates, season with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Place tomatoes, anchovies, green beans, tuna that you tear into small pieces, olives, and onions.
