How to make a beef tenderloin sandwich with fire-roasted peppers πŸ₯©πŸŒΆοΈπŸ”₯

Today I made a loaded sourdough sandwich with tender beef tenderloin, fire-roasted peppers, caramelized onions, cheese and homemade sumac onions… served with crispy roasted potatoes on the side πŸ˜πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³

One of my favorite parts of this dish was the pepper 🌢️πŸ”₯ I roasted it directly over the flame until the outside became beautifully charred. That smoky flavor works perfectly together with the beef and the sweetness from the caramelized onions.

For the onions, I used a mixture I had already prepared earlier. I combined onions with sumac, olive oil, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper and red pepper seasoning πŸ§…πŸŒΏβ€οΈ After cooking the beef, I added these fresh, flavorful onions over the meat at the end.

I also added caramelized onions for an extra sweet and rich flavor πŸ§…πŸ”₯ Together with the smoky roasted pepper, they make the sandwich so much more flavorful.

For the bread, I used sourdough 🍞✨ The slightly crispy bread works perfectly with the juicy beef, melted cheese and all the different toppings.

The potatoes were prepared separately πŸ₯”πŸ”₯ First, I boiled them for about 10 minutes. Then they went into the oven for around 35 minutes until the outside became golden and crispy while staying soft inside.

What I used πŸ‘‡

πŸ₯© Beef tenderloin
🍞 Sourdough bread
🌢️ Fire-roasted pepper
πŸ§… Homemade sumac onions
πŸ§… Caramelized onions
πŸ§€ Cheese
πŸ₯” Potatoes
🌿 Fresh parsley
🌿 Sumac
πŸ«’ Olive oil
πŸ§‚ Salt

🌢️ Red pepper seasoning

Then it was time to build the sandwich πŸ”₯

Crispy sourdough, tender beef, melted cheese, smoky roasted pepper, sweet caramelized onions and those fresh sumac onions on top 😍πŸ₯©πŸŒΆοΈ

And with the crispy roasted potatoes on the side, this turned into a seriously satisfying homemade meal β€οΈπŸ‘¨β€πŸ³

Smoky, juicy, crispy, sweet and savory all together in one dish πŸ”₯

How to make pistachio salmon πŸŸπŸ’šπŸ”₯

Today I made a juicy oven-baked pistachio salmon with crispy potatoes, creamy avocado and fresh sumac onions πŸ˜πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³

For the salmon, I used 300g salmon and made a topping with coarse mustard, honey, fresh lemon juice and chopped pistachios. I seasoned the salmon with salt, black pepper, red pepper and sumac, then spread the mustard-honey-pistachio mixture over the top πŸ―πŸ‹πŸ’š

The salmon went into the oven at 200Β°C for about 12–15 minutes, just until it was cooked through but still soft and juicy inside 🐟✨

For the potatoes, I first boiled them in salted water for 8 minutes. After draining them, I added olive oil, salt, black pepper and red pepper. Then I roasted them in the oven at 200Β°C for around 35 minutes until golden and crispy πŸ₯”πŸ”₯

I served everything with fresh avocado and homemade marinated onions. The onions were mixed with sumac, salt, black pepper, olive oil and fresh lemon juice πŸ₯‘πŸ§…πŸ‹

At the end, I finished the plate with fresh parsley, a little Parmesan cheese and extra chopped pistachios for more crunch πŸŒΏπŸ§€πŸ’š

What I used πŸ‘‡

🐟 300g salmon
πŸ₯„ 1 tbsp coarse mustard
🍯 1 tbsp honey

How to make creamy pistachio pasta πŸπŸ’šβœ¨

Today I made a creamy homemade pistachio pasta with fresh basil, Parmesan and roasted pistachios… simple ingredients, but the flavor is amazing πŸ˜πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³

The pistachios are roasted for about 2–3 minutes first, which brings out even more flavor and gives the sauce that rich, nutty taste πŸ’šπŸ”₯

Then I blended them together with fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, a little lemon juice and, if you like, a small clove of garlic πŸŒΏπŸ§€πŸ‹

A little pasta water makes the pistachio sauce beautifully smooth and creamy, so it coats every piece of pasta perfectly 🍝✨

What I used πŸ‘‡

🍝 300g dry pasta
πŸ’š 100g pistachios
🌿 25–30g fresh basil
πŸ§€ 50–60g Parmesan cheese
πŸ«’ 70–90ml olive oil
πŸ§„ 1 small clove of garlic, optional
πŸ‹ Juice of about ¼–½ lemon
🌿 Fresh parsley for the finish
πŸ’§ Pasta water for a creamy sauce

Because the pistachios were already salted, I didn’t add extra salt to the sauce. Always taste first before adding more πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³πŸ‘Œ

Finish it with some chopped pistachios, fresh parsley and a little extra Parmesan on top πŸ’šπŸ§€βœ¨

Creamy, nutty, fresh and full of flavor… definitely a pasta worth trying 😍🍝

How to make a healthier homemade brownie 🍫🍌πŸ”₯

Today I made my own version of a healthier homemade brownie… and honestly, it came out so good πŸ˜πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³

No flour, no extra refined sugar, just simple ingredients like ripe bananas, eggs, oats, cocoa powder, peanut butter and Milka milk chocolate 🍫✨

The bananas make the brownie naturally sweet and soft, the oats give it a nice texture, and the cocoa powder brings that deep chocolate flavor.
And of course… the Milka chocolate pieces inside make every bite even better 😍πŸ”₯

What I used πŸ‘‡

🍌 2 large ripe bananas
πŸ₯š 2 eggs
🌾 60–70g oats
🍫 30–35g cocoa powder
πŸ₯„ 1 teaspoon baking powder
πŸ₯œ 1 tablespoon peanut butter
🍫 1 Milka milk chocolate bar, 80g, chopped into pieces

I baked it in the oven at 180Β°C for about 25–30 minutes, then let it cool for around 45 minutes before cutting it 🍰✨

Soft, chocolatey, a little creamy from the peanut butter and full of flavor.
A simple homemade brownie that feels like a treat, but is still a bit more balanced than a classic brownie ❀️🍫

Perfect with coffee, as a snack, or when you want something sweet without making it too heavy πŸ˜β˜•
