Zuviel Mizuna im Garten? 

Hier ist ein Super Rezept für ca 1 Kilo Mizuna:

to blanche - blanchieren

Mix 250 gr minced meat with 2 chopped Tomatoes, some soya Sauce,salt, pepper, minced onion, 1 egg, and a cup of breadcrumbs in a bowl...

250 gr Faschiertes mit 2 Tomaten, etwas Sojasauce, Salz Pfeffer, gehackter Zwiebel, einem Ei und einer Handvoll Semmelbröseln gut vermischen,

Fill into a Baking pan in layers,

 Schichtweise in eine Form füllen,

 Some sour cream, 2 Spoonful grated parmesan, some butter flakes and then into the oven for approx. 45 minutes

etwas Sauerrahm darüber, 2 Esslöffel geriebenen Parmesan, ein paar Butterflocken und ab in den Ofen für ca 45 min.

                                 

Tastes delicious, and works with all other plentiful greens as well! (at least I think so, I didn't try...)

Schmeckt total gut und funktioniert bestimmt auch mit jedem anderen Grünzeug das man gerade im Überfluss im Garten hat!

Kraut rock´s !

A cabbage field near our home on a foggy october morning.

It´s typical for this region in austria. ......the cabbage as well as the fog!

and this is the cabbage head that will turn into a heart-warming cabbage soup!

It is a soup recipe from Greece, so it perfectly suits to protect from cold!

Put Olive oil into a pot, add chopped onions (1 or 2 ), and chopped cabbage ,

stir-fry till it smells tasty

Then pour on aproxx. 1 liter instant soup ( the quantity depends on how big your cabbage head is)
..add 1 teaspoon fennel seed, 1 teaspoon anise, lemon zest and salt.

..some lemon juice, and then let it simmer for 25 minutes.

In the meanwhile chop parsley ....

after soup is ready, put crumbled sheep cheese in a bowl, pour in the soup......

and enjoy!

BTW, this wonderful Bowl is made by my sister-in-law. She and my brother, a painter, are running the Kunstwerkstatt Ruprecht.
