TFF Hot and Sour Soup

HOT ??!!! In this heat ? Yes ! It sounded crazy to my husband to have a hot soup the other evening but as soon as he tasted it his doubts had desappeared! Andrea and our friends fought over the leftovers in the pot ! If you dare try a hot soup in a very hot June this will make your dinner !!

TFF Ratatouille with Feta , Black Olives and Almonds

I saw this wonderful recipe on the blog and I had to try it ! I didn't have green olives in my pantry so I substituted them with black ones even if in the traditional Caponata capers green olives and vinegar are a must.
Andrea just came back and keeps nibbling the topping with dreaming eyes...

TFF Samosas with Chickpeas and Spinach

Dear friends this week we made samosas but vegetarian and baked instead of fried, I hope it's not too much of a change but that evening I really didn't want to deep fry ! The results were very good I made the samosa smaller but that way you don't get enough filling so next time I'll stick to Tyler's suggestions




I don't really have the skills of a perfect samosa's maker ! But I'll get better !



I froze half the samosas and I'm looking forward to eating them !! If you want to try the recipe is

TFF Deep Dish Ham Quiche with Herbs and Asparagus Salad

As you can see yesterday evening we were too eager to start eating the quiche so my photo was not very good, so this morning I tried again even if the asparagus didn't look so fresh anymore !!

Anyway the quiche was very tasty ! I thought you could taste more the onions so maybe next time I will add more. I used 5 eggs (instead of 8) and only two cups of cream (instead of 4) but I assure you it was very rich anyway. I also forgot the egg yolk in the dough !

TFF Braised Chicken with Peanuts and Raisins

And here we go with another yummy recipe by our hero !
I followed the hint our dear host Natashya gave us in the last round up and made the recipe in the video she posted.
I didn't have cashews so I used peanuts, watercress is almost impossible to find here so I just sprinkled some basil just to have some green around and I used skinless chicken to reduce the fat a little! But even so the flavours of this chicken are wonderful !
Please visit the blog tomorrow for the new round-up !
