Ingredients (2 Persons) 2 Kg Mussels ½ Green Celery chopped 4 White Onions in rings 2 tsp White Pepper 2 tsp Salt 5 tbsp chopped Parsley 5 tbsp chopped Chives 200 gr Butter 600 ml Water 5 cloves Garlic Breadcrumbs Equipment 1 Cutting Board 1 Knife 1 large pot with top Oven with grill function Preparation 1. Wash the mussels in cold water. 2. With a good knife remove all the white dots and dirt from the mussels. TIP: A good mussel should be sealed tight or at least seal itself when you hit it with the knife. 3. Second thing to watch is to carefully remove, if there, the ‘beard’ of the mussel which sometimes you find at the side of the mussel, cut this away. 4. Now take fresh water and wash the mussels again. 5. Take the pot, add the butter, water, chopped celery, sliced onions, the pepper, and salt, and put the mussels on top. 6. Put the top on the pot and put on a high fire. 7. After 3 minutes shake them up until your veggies are on top, put back on the fire for 2 minutes. 8. Shake up again, cook for 2 more minutes and shake up again before serving. 9. If you check the mussels, they should all be opened, if not cook for a minute longer till they open up. TIP: When all opened, they are ready. 10. Take the mussels and remove 1 side of the shell, put them side by side on a plate. TIP: Use some aluminium foil on top of the plate to create a rougher surface so the mussels can lay steady. Put them all on a plate or oven tray. 11. Mix the butter with the chopped garlic, chives, parsley, pepper and salt. 12. Cover the mussels with this herb butter. Sprinkle a bit of breadcrumbs over it and put under the grill for 3-5minutes depending on the power of your grill. 13. Serve with some bread.

  • Guacamole

    Guacamole is an awesome dip with as main ingredient the awesome Avocado. Do you know the interesting history behind Avocado and Guacamole which is more than 500 years old? The avocado finds his origin in South central Mexico where they grow naturally. Guacamole was first made by the Aztecs who were in that time inhabited that region and later was took home by the Spanish. The name Avocado went through some transfers trough the years, as started as the Aztec name “ahucatl” which means testicle (unknown if this name came from the shape and as they hang by two in trees or because they saw the Avocado as aphrodisiac), then the Spanish adopted this word making it “aguacate” which in time transferred into “Avogato” to finally transferred into "Avocado” which is the name that we all know today. At some point in English it was also called a Alligator pear due to the shape of the skin. Due to a ban for importing avocado from Mexico to US it only became popular in US after in 1997 the ban was finally lifted. Guacamole itself was introduced to the Spanish around 500 years ago as a mix of avocado puree with herbs and so the transfer into the Guacamole of today began…even today there are a lot of different styles and recipes out there and the dish became so popular worldwide that over 1 million posts of guacamole pictures find their way to the internet weekly. Here presented is a Mexican recipe which I have the believe is closest to the “original” Guacamole. Serve it with crackers, bread sticks or some crispy bread. Ingredients 2 avocados 2 small red onions 1 tomato Salt 1 lime Fresh coriander (the leaves from 15 coriander branches) Jalapeño or chili (optional) Equipment 1 cutting board 1 bowl Preparation 1. Cut the onion in very small dices. 2. Remove the seeds from the tomato and cut it in very small dices, but first ensure you take out the skin by cutting a small cross in the bottom of the tomato and putting it in boiling water for three minutes, take the tomato out and put it in cold water, and now the skin will be easy to remove. 3. Chop the coriander leaves very fine. 4. If you want the spicy touch, also chop the chili or jalapeño in very small dices 5. It is time now to open the avocados and put the four halves into the bowl, then with the help of a fork, smash the avocado. 6. Once the avocado is smashed, add the juice from 1 lime, the onion, the tomato, the coriander, and the jalapeño, and mix everything together. 7. Try it out and add salt to taste, and mix again. 8.
