Braised Duck Legs With Red Cabbage and Carrot

We want to wish you a couple of merry duck legs served over red cabbage and carrot. A lot of attention was put on these duck legs: first, we’ve spiced them, then seared them, and finally, we’ve slid into the oven for just the right amount of time.

Baked Crispy Pork Tenderloin

Baked Crispy Pork Tenderloin

What if we’d oven-baked the pork fillets instead of frying them? Before that and before coating them with flour, whisked egg, and panko, we’ll add some flavor by marinating them in soy sauce, olive oil, oregano, and basil. Just because we can.

Shrimp Stew

Shrimp Stew

So, shrimp cooks very quickly, everybody knows that. Here, you’ll only need 15 minutes to prepare a special shrimp stew. It is special because of the smooth and richly flavored sauce. The heavy cream makes it soft and milky, vinegar, and tomato juice lend it a tangy touch and the orange juice just makes it unique.

Sesame Pork Open Sandwiches

Making sandwiches is an art in itself. Here’s only one example. We coated these open sandwiches with a creamy mixture made with pork tenderloin, egg, spring onion, and chili, all mashed together and spiced. All this needed a matching topping, so the sesame seeds (white & black) won the contest.

But of course, the tartare is a dish made from minced meat. No one can argue with that. However, nobody can stop you to change the rules, to experiment, to try something new. Why not make the tartare from carrots, for example? Why not?

Philippine Adobo

Philippine Adobo

Say “Hello!” to the chicken adobo, inspired to us by the Filipino cuisine. You can choose to marinate the chicken meat for an hour or for the whole night; it depends on how fast you want the adobo on your plate. You can also choose not to marinate it at all, but some flavor will be lost in this case. It’s up to you! And what better side dish for this piece of Asian cuisine, than cooked rice?
