Monday, January 4
ROASTED BEET AND GARLIC CREAM WITH EGG
It's worth turning on the oven to get this cream, with all the flavor of caramelized beets and roasted garlic.
The addition of soft-boiled egg can make it a unique dish perfect for dinner.
MARINATED PORK BELLY WITH CHIRIMOYA AND SPICES
We propose a quick roast made with a humble cut of pork -although we can prepare it with another piece-, full of flavor and that works perfectly as a main dish.
LEMON PANNA COTTA
An easy, fresh and Italian dessert that will help you cope with the post-vacation syndrome.
Tuesday, January 5
SALMON AND AVOCADO TARTAR
For this tartar, fresh and smoked salmon are used, and they are mixed with avocado, which is in season.
In addition, all this is accompanied with a little Perrins sauce and tabasco.
PASTA WITH CABBAGE
Good pasta dishes with few ingredients don't just come from Italy.
This recipe that is prepared in Poland, the Czech Republic or Hungary under different names is a tasty example of it.
SEASONAL FRUIT: KIWI
Kiwi is in season and is one of the fruits with the highest concentration of vitamin C. Ideal for coping with the cold.
Wednesday 6th January
ROASTED LEEKS WITH ALMOND
This recipe is by Albert Adrià, but you don't have to have his last name to cook it.
The key to the dish is to toast the leeks in the oven to give it a smoky touch.
WHITE CABBAGE GRATEN AND BLUE CHEESE
At El Comidista we like cabbages a lot, and prepared with creamy dairy-based sauces and cheese, they are so great that any schoolboy would be delighted to eat them, no matter how much phobia they have.
QUARK BALLS (QUARKBÄLLCHEN)
A fried sweet but not heavy with a dough based on cheese and flour, served hot like a donut and is perfect both to escape the German cold and to accompany a hot chocolate.
Thursday January 7
CABBAGE SALAD WITH CARROT
Two types of cabbage, carrot and a creamy dressing with a point of acidity are the key to the success of this salad.
It is best with a while of rest so that the cabbage loses a little firmness and the raisins are hydrated.
BESUGO WITH BUTTER AND LEMON
The French technique called "meunière" emulsifies butter with lemon juice, and is perfect to accompany fish such as sea bream.
A few seasonal vegetables round out the plate.
SEASONAL FRUIT: ORANGE
We are sorry to tell you that oranges do not cure colds, but they are still very tasty.
Friday January 8
POTATO, OCTOPUS AND EGG CREAM
Dani Lechuga, despite his vegetarian name, prepares some of the best meat dishes in the city of Barcelona.
With the recipe we have sent you, you show that cephalopods are not resistant either.
STEAMED MUSSELS WITH CHILE, LEMON AND GINGER
The most humble members of the bivalve family once again star in a simple and exotic recipe.
With only four ingredients and three rules to follow, success is assured.
BEETROOT AND DRIED FRUIT CAKE
With it the freshness, the blanket and the desire to turn on the oven, this comforting sweet will be your favorite piece of winter pastry.
Saturday January 9
CHICKPEAS AND CAULIFLOWER CURRY
A quick Indian stew, which invites you to make an ode to the spoon on the coldest nights.
It comes with a gift idea to lose the fear of making our own curry mixes.
SEASONAL FRUIT: CHIRIMOYA
This tropical fruit is rich in fiber and vitamin C and it is also very tasty, which is always important.
Sunday January 10
CHICKEN MARBELLA
Despite its name, Marbella chicken is a New York invention of the eighties.
Their olives, capers, and dried fruits reflect a hodgepodge of influences, but the mix works.
And it requires zero effort.
CHOCOLATE AND CITRUS COOKIES
Chocolate and orange are already a regular artistic couple.
Lemon as a side is not so common, but it has a lot to contribute to this team.
These cookies are the proof.
The weekend drink
SHAKE "BYE, CHRISTMAS, BYE"
It gives out the remnants of chocolate nougat, it takes two minutes and the post-Christmas depression comforts you.
