main course

Vegetarian pasta sauce (4 port.)

This vegetarian pasta sauce / mix is a snap to knock up, and becomes juicy and tasty. One of my favorite spices from The Spice Tree gave lovely flavor, but you can take any other spice mix that you like.

You will need:
400g carrots
225g parsnips
225 g celeriac
4 regular-sized cloves of garlic
1 onion
1 red onion
1 can of crushed tomatoes
1 ½ cups unsweetened tomato paste
4 tablespoons of any savory spice
salt and pepper
rapeseed oil

Peel and coarsely grate roots. Peel and finely chop the garlic and onion. Heat plenty of oil in a big saucepan. Fry the onion / garlic lightly, stirring for a minute. Add also the roots, and saute while stirring for a few minutes. Add chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, gourmet seasoning and salt and pepper from the mill, and simmer over low heat for about half an hour. Add a little water if necessary if you think it´s too dry. Taste, add more salt, pepper or spice if necessary.
Serve with any pasta, grated tasty parmesan cheese and possibly a dab of Turkish yogurt.

Dessert

Frozen Yogurt with Honey Baked Apples (sleeps 4)

Make your own ice cream of Turkish yogurt and honey mixing it and freeze it for a few hours. When it is ready, it is served with fried apples in honey. Interceptions between hot and cold, sweet and sour is promised, as well as a good experience!

You will need:
3 cups Turkish yogurt
3 tbsp runny honey
2 apples
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 tablespoon honey

Mix Turkish yogurt with honey. Freezing in a bowl about 2 hours. Stir every 30 minutes so that the ice cream is creamy. Cut the apples into wedges and fry them in butter or margarine and honey. Serve the ice cream with the fried apple wedges.
This course is free from gluten and eggs. If you are lactose intolerant, like me, you can use lactose-free yogurt and lactose-free margarine instead. To make the course totally free from milk protein, replace the yoghurt with Sour Supreme (contains soy) and use milk free fat.Rödbetsbiffar_norra_cypern_magasinet_north_cypruspasta_norra_cypern_north_cyprus_magasinet_recept_veckansNorra_cypern_magasinet_glass
