I began to blog about herbs since the 20th edition of WHB 27.04.2021 ** and Kalyn entrusted me the round-ups for WHB #68, WHB #86, WHB #102, WHB #119 and WHB #148. It was fun to do this, I learned a lot about herbs and plants around the world and met great people like Haalo. I agree, she’s a great blogger. But since my kitchen renovation last year I participated this great event less regular than the first two years. So this WHB-entry will be the last for for a while. Like Kalyn I can’t keep up with all the things I’m trying to do.

This week I prepared a

Cheese Leek Quiche with Parsley Gremolata

Gremolata is a chopped herb condiment, typically made of garlic, parsley and lemon peel. In this case the garlic is substituted with walnuts. Normally a gremolata is served with meal, but in this case it is also a nice accompaniment to the quiche.

It’s just a quiche, I already posted a similar recipe, but here’s the way to do the gremolata.

Wash and dry one bunch of flat leaf parsley and chop. Add 50 g chopped walnuts and the finely grated peel of one lemon. Mix and serve.

Thanks Kalyn for your great event, I’ll see you and the other herb lovers at Haalo every now and then. And also thanks to Haalo for continuing Weekend Herb Blogging.

WHB #90: What to do with red currants?

WHB

This week Chris from Mele Cotte is hosting the 90th edition of eekend Herb Blogging 27.04.2021 **W. My co-worker gave away a 5-liter-bucket of red currants and I asked my family: What to do with red currants? The – not surprising – answer was: red currant ice cream. I saved some berries for the ice cream and with the rest I cooked

Red Currant Syrup

red currant syrup 001

The recipe is easy: Mash 1 kg red currants with 750 g sugar, let rest overnight in the fridge. Let drain at least for 1 hour and bring the liquid to the boil. Remove the foam and fill clear liquid into bottles.

Red Currants are a member of the gooseberry family. Redcurrant fruit is slighty more sour than its relative the blackcurrant, and is cultivated mainly for jams and cooked dishes, rather than for eating raw. In Germany it is also used in combination with custard or meringue as a filling for tarts. And red currants are the main ingredient of Rote Grütze – red fruit jelly, a speciality in the north of Germany.

Johannisbeerstruch 002

This year I’ve already made some jelly, as every year, and a no-cooking dessert. Last year I baked muffins and a “nightmare of sponge mixture and whipped cream“. With the last red currants of this year I decided to prepare a

Summer Pudding

Summer Pudding

from the still unused cookbook I bought last year in Scotland. I used red currants, raspberries and brambles – blackberries from the freezer.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Neatly line the base and sides of a 900 ml (1 1/2 pint) pudding basin with the bread. Wash and trim or stone the fruit, cutting the strawberries in half. Put the water and the sugar into a pan and bring to the boil. Add the fruit in order of speed of cooking, the slowest first and the quickest, raspberries, last. Cook briefly, ensuring that the fruit holds its shape. Drain off the syrup and reserve.
  2. Spoon the fruit into the prepared bowl and spoon over a little of the syrup. Cover with more bread. Put a saucer on top and place a weight on top of it, to apply a little pressure, say 500 g, 1 lb. Refrigerate overnight. Loosen it gently with a palette knife, turn out and pour the rest of the syrup over it. Cut into wedges and serve with lightly whipped double cream.
