This Date Hazelnut Chocolate Spread is a healthy flavorful hazelnut spread made without refined sugar, using dates instead. It is a delicious way to enjoy life’s sweet moments without any of the unnecessary and unhealthy ingredients.

Our spread gets its sweetness from natural date paste, bringing a yummy caramel-like taste without the need for refined sugar. Dates are not just sweet, they’re packed with good stuff like fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. Mix in some top-quality hazelnuts, some good quality cocoa powder and you’ve got a spread that’s both nutty and chocolaty.

Say goodbye to artificial additives and excess sugar, our spread is all about keeping it simple and good for you. Spread it on whole-grain toast, mix it into yogurt, or enjoy it straight from the spoon. Each bite is a tasty way to treat yourself without guilt

How to make date chocolate hazelnut spread 

Begin by preparing the sweet date paste. Combine dates and boiling water in a food processor, blending until a smooth paste forms. Set it aside for later.

Next, preheat your oven to 300F (150C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast them for 15 minutes. Allow them to cool, then gently rub them between your hands to remove the skin.

Transfer these toasted hazelnuts to a food processor and grind them for about 10 minutes until a thick paste is achieved. Now, add in the date paste, coconut oil, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Keep processing until the mixture turns velvety smooth.

Pour in the milk and mix until everything is well combined. If you prefer a thinner consistency, slowly add more milk until you reach your desired thickness.

Now, it’s ready to be served immediately, or pop it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to enjoy this delightful treat. Hope you will try this delightful Date Hazelnut Chocolate Spread. If you do make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how they turn out for you.

This Cauliflower Gratin is a comforting, delightful dish that transforms humble cauliflower into a creamy and satisfying culinary experience. Fresh cauliflower florets are coated in a velvety milk and cheese sauce that’s rich and flavorful. A mixture of breadcrumbs, melted butter and seasonings is sprinkled on top, adding a delightful crunch. After baking the Cauliflower Gratin gets a golden-brown crust that makes a delectable contrast to the creamy interior.

This Cauliflower Gratin can be considered a healthier option compared to traditional Potato Gratin. Cauliflower is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense vegetable rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and a great source of fiber. 

By substituting cauliflower for potatoes, you reduce the overall calorie and carbohydrate content of the dish. 

The creamy sauce in the Cauliflower Gratin is made with milk, adding a calcium boost, and the use of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese for the topping introduces a satisfying crunch without using excessive amounts of butter and heavy cream.

So, if you’re looking for a lighter alternative this Cauliflower Gratin can be a nutritious and flavorful choice.

Whether you enjoy it as a side or make it the main dish, this Cauliflower Gratin is an easy and tasty treat that everybody will love. 

How to make Cauliflower Gratin

Begin by cutting the cauliflower into small florets. Put these cauliflower bits in a steamer basket above simmering water. Cover it up and let the cauliflower steam for 3 to 4 minutes—just enough to get rid of the rawness but keep it firm, as it will cook more in the oven. Take the cauliflower off the heat and set it aside.

Now, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Time to make the sauce! In a saucepan, bring milk, garlic, and a bay leaf to a simmer. Remove from heat. After about 5 minutes, toss out the bay leaf and garlic cloves. In another small saucepan, melt butter, add flour, and cook for a minute. Whisk in the milk, stir until it thickens, then season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Throw in ¼ cup Parmesan cheese and mix.

Butter a 9-10 inch (23-25cm) baking dish and dust it with breadcrumbs. Arrange the steamed cauliflower in a single layer, sprinkle green onions on top, then pour the sauce all over. Add more cheese on top.

For the breadcrumb topping, mix breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a tablespoon of melted butter. Sprinkle this mix over the cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes until it turns a lovely golden brown.

Enjoy your delicious Cauliflower Gratin alongside your preferred meat, or opt for a vegetarian option by serving it with a fresh salad and some crackers or crusty bread.

Hope you will try this Cauliflower Gratin. If you do, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how it turns out for you.

How to make zucchini carrot fritters.

Begin by grating the zucchini and carrots using the larger holes on the grater.

Next, place the grated zucchini and carrots onto a kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Sprinkle some salt over them and allow them to sit for about 5 minutes.

After the wait, wrap the mixture in the towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. This step is crucial as it determines the crispiness of your fritters.

Transfer the squeezed zucchini and carrots into a mixing bowl. Add in Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and dill. Also, include the eggs, flour, breadcrumbs, and a bit of salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until it’s well combined.

How to cook the fritters

Heat up a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in a generous amount of olive oil, enough to coat the bottom of the pan.

Using a spoon, carefully drop portions of the fritter batter into the skillet. With the back of the spoon or a spatula, gently flatten each mound. This helps them cook evenly.

Allow the fritters to cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on one side, or until they turn a beautiful golden hue and achieve a delightful crispiness.

Once the first side is perfectly cooked, gently flip each fritter using a spatula. Continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes on the other side. This ensures a uniform crispness and a lovely golden color.

Once fully cooked, transfer the fritters onto a plate lined with paper towels. This helps absorb any excess oil, ensuring they’re light and delicious.

These delectable fritters pair wonderfully with either Tzatziki sauce or a garlic-infused sour cream. Choose your favorite, and enjoy this delightful dish!

These Zucchini Carrot Fritters are a delightful treat, bursting with flavor and texture. They’re a perfect addition to any meal or a fantastic snack all on their own. Hope you will try them out and experience the joy of these golden, crispy bites. If you do, make sure to share the recipes with me on Instagram. Enjoy!

Time to add the grated zucchini and cook it until the water disappears. Take it off the heat and let it cool down a little. In a big bowl, crack the eggs, and add salt, pepper, and a bit of nutmeg. Don’t forget to throw in some fresh parsley and oregano too. Mix it all up really well.

Pour in the cream and add the cheese. Give it a good stir until everything’s mixed. Now, pour this mixture over the onion and zucchini blend in the pan. Stick it in the oven and let it bake for roughly 25 minutes until it’s a nice golden color or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.

Once it’s out, wait around 10 minutes before digging in. You can enjoy it with a fresh salad and some crusty bread for a complete meal. Time to eat up and enjoy your homemade treat!

This Greek Baked Feta with Tomatoes is a spicy mouthwatering Mediterranean dish that captures the essence of Greek cuisine. This easy recipe is a delightful combination of spicy peppers, rich ripe tomatoes, and creamy feta cheese. It is often enjoyed as a main course accompanied by crusty bread, or it can be served as an appetizer or side dish

During our time in Greece, we had the delightful opportunity to enjoy this dish at numerous tavernas, where it is called Bouyiourdi. It offers a burst of flavors and makes a comforting experience.

At the heart of this dish is the Feta cheese, a traditional Greek cheese made from sheep’s milk. Known for its rich and tangy flavor, Feta is the perfect complement to the sweet notes of the juicy ripe tomatoes and peppers. It is essential to use a good quality Feta cheese in brine that will make this dish a favorite among cheese lovers.

To prepare this amazing Greek baked dish, first slice the tomatoes into thick rounds and layer on the bottom of a baking dish. Cut the red pepper, green chili pepper and the onion into slices and arrange on top of the tomatoes. Cut the Feta cheese into thick slices and arrange over the layers of tomatoes and peppers. Top the Feta with the remaining tomato, pepper and onion slices. 

We like to add tasty herbs like oregano and thyme, giving the dish a lovely smell and earthy taste. A good drizzle of olive oil finishes the dish, giving it a delicious richness and making the taste even better.

Place the dish in the oven and bake to perfection. The heat of the oven melds the flavors together, resulting in a harmonious blend of tangy, sweet notes. The cheese becomes slightly golden creating a delightful contrast in textures.

How to make Greek baked Feta with tomatoes

Star by preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C). Take the ripe tomatoes and cut them into thick slices, then set them aside. Proceed to slice the red pepper, onion and green chili pepper, and set them aside as well. Take the feta cheese and cut it in half, then slice each half lengthwise.

Now, it’s time to layer the ingredients. Start by arranging the tomatoes, peppers, onions, and green chili slices. Enhance the flavors by seasoning with oregano, chili flakes, a moderate amount of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Remember not to overdo the salt since Feta in brine is already quite salty. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the layered ingredients.

Next, place the feta cheese slices on top of the arrangement. Add the remaining tomatoes, peppers, onions, and green chili to complete the layers. Once again, season with oregano, chili flakes, a touch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Give another good drizzle of olive oil for added moisture and flavor.

Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, until the feta cheese becomes soft and the vegetables turn tender. Before serving, garnish with fresh thyme to enhance both the taste and visual appeal. Serve the Greek Baked Feta with Tomatoes as a main course with crusty bread or enjoy it as a delectable side dish. 

Whether you’re a fan of Greek cuisine or simply looking to explore new flavors, this Greek Baked Feta with Tomatoes is a must-try recipe that shouldn’t be missed. If you give this recipe a try, feel free to share your photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how it turns out for you. 

What to serve Baked Feta with

This Baked Feta with Tomatoes can be served as a main dish alongside some crusty bread or it can be served as an appetizer or side dish.  Here are few ideas you can choose from.

In terms of bread you can serve with this easy to prepare Crusty Homemade Bread, Classic Foccacia, Homemade Baguette or easy Homemade Breadsticks. This Sourdough Bread with its crispy crust and soft elastic crumb is one of the best choices for this dish.

The 1-2-3 method for sourdough bread is a simple and easy-to-follow recipe that produces delicious, crusty loaves with a soft and chewy interior. The recipe is named after its three main ingredients: flour, water, and sourdough starter, which are combined in a ratio of 1 part sourdough starter, 2 parts water, and 3 parts flour.

How to make the sourdough bread with 1-2-3 method

To begin,  make the overnight starter. For 2 loaves, take 100g of 100% hydration sourdough starter, add water and flour, mix, and let it rest for 10-12 hours, at room temperature.

The next day, in the morning, prepare the final dough. Mix the overnight starter with 2 parts water and 3 parts bread flour or a mixture of flours. Autolyse for 30 minutes, add salt and knead for 5-8 minutes. Let the dough to ferment for 2.5 hours, with stretches and folds every 50 minutes, during which time the natural yeast in the sourdough starter ferments the dough, giving it its distinctive tangy flavor and airy texture.

123 method sourdough bread with beautiful scoring

Divide the dough into two pieces, shape them into balls, and let them rest for 15 minutes. Prepare the pans or proofing baskets. Reshape the two pieces of dough into loaves and put the dough in, seam-side-up. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

This final rise is crucial, as it allows the dough to develop the proper structure and texture for baking. 

How to bake sourdough bread

The following morning, preheat the oven to 470°F (240°C) with a baking stone, Dutch oven, or a baking sheet. If using a baking stone or sheet, put a pot of water in the oven to create steam. Turn the proofed loaves onto parchment paper, score with a bread lame or sharp knife, and carefully transfer them to the preheated baking vessel. Bake for 20 minutes with steam, then remove the water pot or Dutch oven lid. Reduce the temperature to 440°F (230°C) and bake for another 15-20 minutes without steam, until it is golden brown and crusty on the outside.

Ingredients

Overnight Sourdough Starter

  • 100 g 100% hydration sourdough starter
  • 100 g water
  • 100 g bread flour

Final Dough

  • 300 g overnight sourdough starter
  • 600 g water
  • 900 g bread flour or a mixture of flours ( I used 700g bread flour +100g whole wheat flour + 100g rye flour)
  • 18 g salt

Instructions

Prepare the overnight starter.

  • To make the overnight starter, in the evening, stir down the 100% hydration sourdough starter, and remove 100g in a large bowl. First, add the water and stir well. Add flour and stir. Cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 10-12 hrs (overnight).

Prepare the final dough.

  • In the morning, in a large bowl mix the overnight starter with water until well combined. Add the bread flour or mixture of flour as desired and mix to combine. Let the dough rests (autolyse) for 30 minutes.
  • Add the salt and knead by hand for 5-8 minutes. Wipe the inside of the bowl with a little vegetable oil. Place the dough into the bowl so the dough can be stretched and folded without removing it from the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap.
  • Let the dough ferment at room temperature for 2.5 hours, stretching and folding on 4 sides, every 50 minutes, using wet hands. A total of 3 stretches and folds.

Shape the dough.

  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Divide it into two pieces. Shape them in the form of a ball. Sprinkle the balls with flour, cover, and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile prepare two loaf pans or two round pans with 2 kitchen towels, sprinkled with flour, or use bannetons if you have them.
  • Reshape the two pieces of dough in the desired shape. Either boule (round) or batard (oval loaf shape). Add the dough seam-side-up on the prepared pans or baskets and cover it with the edges of the towel.
  • Cover the baskets or pans with a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight to bake the next morning.

How to bake the bread.

  • The next morning, turn the oven to 470°F (240°C) with either a baking stone or a Dutch oven. In case you don't have any, simply use a baking sheet, and preheat for 45 minutes to 1 hour before baking (If using the baking stone or the baking sheet place a small pot with water at the base of the oven to create steam, the Dutch oven does not need it as the lid will create enough steam.)
  • Turn the proofed loaves onto parchment paper and score them using a bread lame or sharp knife. Carefully transfer it to the preheated Dutch oven, baking stone, or the back of the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes with steam then remove the pot with water from the oven. When using a Dutch oven simply remove the lid.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 440°F (230°C) and bake for another 15- 20 minutes without steam.
  • Cool on a wire rack. Let them cool completely before cutting for at least 2 hrs.
