Eat with Steff

  It all began in the winter time. I was sitting comfortably on my bed and I was writing a list of winter veggies and fruits, that I wanted to include on my diet, but also make a Youtube video about it.  I‘m someone who‘ll always consider something seasonal first. I decided to take the red cabbage as a main ingredient and then form a recipe around it. So after a bit of brain storming and one semi-failed recipe, I came up with a risotto recipe, that I‘d like to have not only during the winter. That meant it was a success and also, who doesn’t love a bowl of comfort food. I‘ve been having it on the chillier days of April. Here is the recipe video on my Youtube channel, if you would like a video format. VIDEO Let’s get into the recipe.. The ingredients you‘ll need: 1 cup of rice 1/4 cup pine nuts 1/4 cup sultanas 1 cup of cabbage  1/2 an onion  1 garlic clove 1/4 cup of white wine 2 tbsp of double cream 1 tbsp of sesame oil  700-800ml of beef broth (you may use oth...

Oatmeal can be very boring to some. To others,that know how to change it up, it is the best breakfast choice. You can now see it as a #breakfastidea all over instagram or other social media platforms and you can add pretty much everything from fruits to nuts to seeds to nut butters.. and so the list goes on.  It will continue to be in the healthy food spectrum whatever you add to it, but sometimes cravings kick in.  In this case I want to cover the savory cravings and make them „oatmeal approved“! This recipe is very simple, but the key point of this post is the idea of savory oatmeal and ingredients that complement each other very nicely, so let’s get to it.. Ingredients: 1 cup of oats 1 cup of milk 1 cup of water 1 tsp of butter for the oats  2 tbsp of crushed pine nuts 1 egg 1 cup of chopped mushrooms  2 cups of baby spinach 2-3 tbsp of feta cheese crumbles  2 tsp chilli flakes  butter or any kind of oil (for the veggies and t...

To me, ideas come out of nowhere, because my mind wonders all day long all over the place and sometimes the light bulb shines over my head. This is exactly how this recipe was put together in my imaginative kitchen. I thought well about the sweetness of the sweet potato, the creaminess of coconut sauce, the freshness of the spinach with that hint of metallic taste and also the spice of ginger & garlic. The ingredients worked so well in my mind and I was so pleased with the final product my hands made reality. Before I get into the recipe I should say that the dough makes quite a lot, up to 6 servings,so according to the servings you will cook adjust the spinach & coconut ratio. For example 1 serving = 1 huge handful of spinach, because spinach shrinks a lot. Now let’s hop onto it... Ingredients: sweet potato (450g) 2 cups of flour  1 tbsp fresh ginger  2 cloves of garlic  1 can of coconut milk  5-6 handfuls of spinach  oregano 1 1/2 t...

Falafels are something I never tried before, if we're talking traditional Middle Eastern (local) ones. So this recipe is totally based on personal tries and errors and personal taste. Therefore every single opinion will be helpful from everyone, especially my Middle Eastern readers out there.  I made these a bit healthier + with the addition of spinach. Let's get into the recipe... Ingredients: 1 big can of chickpeas (480 gr drained) 1 1/2 cup fresh parsley  1 cup fresh baby spinach  1/3 cup of flour  1 tbsp turmeric  1 tsp cumin  1 tbsp baking powder  1 red onion  6 garlic cloves 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice  4 tbsp olive oil  salt & black pepper (extra flour or oil for frying or baking) Preparation: Your best friend is your blender right now. Put the spinach, parsley, garlic and onion first into the blender and blend them well. Next add the chickpeas little by little (easier to blend this way) and the o...
