Rödbetstartar med friterad potatis och sojamajonnäs

4 portioner, som förrätt

Ingredienser

500 gram rödbetor

1 msk kapris

2 tsk olivolja

1 liten fänkål

Falksalt flingsalt

Friterad potatis med ramslökssalt *

2 potatisar

naturell rapsolja till fritering, eller annan frityrolja

Falksalt flingsalt

1 msk torkad ramslök (eller en blandning av torkad persilja och gräslök)

Sojamajonnäs

1 dl växtbaserad majonnäs

1-2 tsk soja

Till garnering

1/2 kruka färsk persilja, finhackad

Citronzest från 1 ekologisk citron

Gör såhär

Värm ugnen till 175°C.

Skala rödbetorna. Dela på mitten och blanda med 1 tsk olja. Lägg på en ugnsplåt och rosta i ugnen i ca 60 minuter, tills de är helt mjuka - utan att de blir krispiga i kanterna. Låt svalna.

Mixa tillsammans med kapris och 1 tsk olivolja tills finfördelat - men utan att det blir ett mos, det ska vara små hela bitar. Smaka av med salt.

Hyvla eller skär fänkålen så tunt som möjligt, lägg i iskallt vatten.

Skrubba potatisarna och skär i tunna skivor, sedan i tunna stavar. Skölj av med kallt vatten, torka torrt med hushållspapper.

Värm upp rapsoljan till 180°C i en stor kastrull. Testa värmen genom att försiktigt lägga ner en potatisbit, börjar det fräsa / fritera är temperaturen rätt. Fritera potatisen i omgångar, i ett par minuter tills de börjar få en lätt gyllene färg. Fånga upp med en hålslev och låt rinna av på hushållspapper. Strö flingsalt och ramslök över.

Häll av fänkålen.

Fördela rödbetstartaren på fyra assietter. Lägg lite fänkål på varje tallrik. Klicka ut sojamajonnäs och strö över friterad potatis. Strö över ramslökssalt och persilja, riv över lite citronzest.

Tips! Gör egen växtbaserad majonnäs!

Ingredienser

1 dl kikärtsspad

1 msk dijonsenap

1 msk äppelcidervinäger

2 1/2 dl neutral rapsolja

Gör såhär

Mixa kikärtsspad, senap och vinäger. Tillsätt rapsoljan i en tunn stråle under fortsatt mixande tills du får en fluffig majonnäs. Smaka av med soja. 

Tips! Gör ditt eget ramslökssalt!
Blanda Falksalt flingsalt med torkad ramslök (eller annan valfri torkad ört för variation), för ett snabbfixat smaksatt salt att använda i din matlagning.

A beautiful - yet easy to make - dish to serve as a starter at any dinner party this summer. Filled with both flavours and textures! Make your own crispy potato - or by root chips to an even easier version.

Beetroot tartare with fried potato and soy mayonnaise

Serves 4 as a starter

Ingredients

500 grams beetroots

1 Tbsp capers

2 tsp olive oil

1 smal fennel

Falksalt flakey salt from the ocean

Fried potato with ramson salt

2 potatoes

Natural rapeseed oil for frying, or any other oil suitably for frying

Falksalt flakey salt from the ocean

1 Tbsp dried ramson (or a mix of dried parsley and chives)

Soy mayonaise

1 dl plant based mayonnaise

1-2 tsp soy

For garnishing

1 handful of fresh parsley

Zest from 1 organic lemon

How to

Pre heat the oven to 175°C.

Peel the beets. Cut in half and toss with 1 tsp oil. Put on an oven tray and and bake in the oven for about 60 minutes, until beets are completely soft - without getting crispy in the edges. Let cool.

Mix the beets with capers and 1 tsp olive oil in a food processor until crumbly. Salt to taste.

Finely shred or finely slice the fennel. Important to make as thin pieces as possible as it will do great things for the flavour and dish! Put in a bowl with ice cold water.

Wash the potatoes. Slice thinly, then cut in to thin sticks. Rinse under cold water, dry using a paper towel. Heat the frying oil until 180°C in a big saucepan, test the temperature by putting one potato slice in the oil - if it starts to bubble and fry the temperature is perfect. Add some of the potato to the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes, stirr around every now and then, until they turn in to golden and crisp. Put the fried potato on a paper towel using a hole spoon. Do the same until you’ve fried all of your potato sticks.

Toss the fried potato with flakey salt and dried ramson.

Drain the fennel.

Divide the beet tartare on 4 plates. Add some fennel on each plate. Add small dollops of soy mayonnaise and some crispy potato. Sprinkle with parsley, ramson salt and zest some lemon.

Tips! Make your own plant based soy mayonnaise

Ingredients

1 dl chickpea water (the liquid which the chickpeas comes in when you buy pre cooked) or soy milk

1 Tbsp dijon mustard

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

How to

Mix chickpea water, mustard and vinegar. Add the rapeseed oil a little my little - while still mixing - until you get a fluffy mayonnaise. Add soy to taste.

Tips! Make your own ramson salt!

Blend Falksalt flakey salt from the ocean with dried ramson - or any dried herb that you like - for a nice flavoured salt to use when cooking.

Krispsallad med svartkål, pinjenötter och krämig saffransdressing

6-8 portioner på en buffé

Ett välkommet inslag på en buffé, en krispig och fräsch sallad med mycket smak och krämig dressing!

Ingredienser

4 polkabetor

4 rödbetor

4 morötter

4 äpplen

1 tsk äppelcidervinäger

200 gram svartkål

1 tsk kallpressad rapsolja

50 gram pinjenötter

1 nypa flingsalt

Saffransdressing

1 dl ljus tahini

1 dl vatten

1 msk äppelcidervinäger

1 knivsudd saffran

1 nypa flingsalt

Gör såhär

Skrubba rotsakerna noga. Skär bort det yttersta på ändarna på betorna, skär tunt med en vass kniv eller hyvla tunt med en mandolin (hyvlar du med mandolin kan du med fördel låta en av ändarna vara kvar så att du har något att hålla i när du hyvlar. Hyvla även morötterna, på längden, med mandolin eller potatisskalare. Lägg de hyvlade rotsakerna, var för sig, i skålar med kallt vatten. Skär eller hyvla äpplena i tunna skivor. Blanda med lite vinäger så att de inte blir bruna.

Skölj och strimla svartkålen grovt. Längst ner, där rotbiten är grov, kan du istället riv av bladen så att stjälken inte kommer med. Ånga svartkålen i 2 minuter, eller förväll i kokat vatten i 2 minuter. Häll av, skölj med kallt vatten och torka torrt. Massera med olja och salt.

Rosta pinjenötterna i en torr, medelhet stekpanna tills de får en lätt gyllene färg.

Mixa ihop ingredienserna till saffransdressingen. Smaka av med salt. 

Häll av rotsakerna och torka torra. Fördela betor, morot, äpple och svartkål över ett stort fat. Ringla över dressing och strö över pinjenötter.

Herby potato mash with green pea tempeh and courgette stir fry, tahini beet dressing and crispy salad

Potato + rapeseed + herbs = true love. Instead of mixing my potatoes to a smooth mash I like to keep it quite chunky. Serve with a super simple stir fry and a dressing to always remember! It actually feels a bit strange (yet awesome) to drizzle over such a colourful thing over your food! Try for yourself!

Herby potato mash with green pea tempeh and courgette stir fry, tahini beet dressing and crispy salad

Servers 4

Herby potato mash

400 grams new potatoes or small potatoes

1 Tbsp cold pressed rapeseed oil

1 organic lemon, zest + juice

2 handfulls fresh parsley

flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper

Green pea tempeh and courgette stir fry

250 grams green pea tempeh (or any tempeh of your choice) *

1 big courgette

2 spring onions

1 tsp cold rapeseed oil

1 Tbsp tamari, or any other soy sauce

cress

flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tahini beet dressing

1 raw beetroot

1/2 dl / 0.2 cups light tahini (I like to use the light one for dressings rather then the darker one - made of toasted sesame seeds - as the dark one can taste a bit sharp)

3/4 dl / 0.3 cups water

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp maple syrup

sesame seeds and dried flowers for garnish

flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper

Crispy salad

70 grams mixed leafy greens

1 handfull of radish

50 grams red cabbage

1 Tbsp toasted rapeseeds

How to

Scrub the potato, cut bigger ones in half. Boil potatoes until soft, takes about 15-20 minutes. Drain then mash with oil and lemon by hand using a potato masher until your preferred texture. Chop the parsley roughly and add to the mash. Salt and pepper to taste.

Crumble the tempeh. Slice the courgette and spring onion. Fry courgette and onion in a bit of oil until soft. Add the tempeh and fry for another few minute until it get a nice golden color. Pour over the tamari and let in sink in. Remove from heat. Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with cress.

Peel the beetroot, cut in smaller pieces. Mix with rest of the ingredients for the dressing in a high speed blender or food processor until completely smooth. If you don’t have a high speed blender it might be a good idea to grate the beetroot before mixing it all together as that will help getting a smoother dressing. Salt and pepper to taste. Add more water for a more runny dressing.

Slice the radish and red cabbage thinly. Toss together with the leafy greens, drizzle with some cold pressed rapeseed oil and sprinkle with rapeseeds.

Serve the mash with the stir fry, dressing and crispy salad!

Enjoy!

• Tempeh is traditionally made of soy beans which is fermented and, furthermore tempeh often comes in small blocks, similar to but more firm then for example tofu. Now days you can find a few different types of tempeh in many supermarkets and organic stories.

Tray of roasted root veggies with spinach, naked oats and turmeric hummus

This is one of my go to-dishes when I want to make hearty and filling food without having that much time to spend cooking. Because this is food that almost cooks it self! So the idea of this dish is very simple; put whatever veggies that are in season/you have at home on a tray, add some cooked grain and leafy greens and serve with some kind of legume-spread/dip (such as a hummus) for extra protein. DONE!

By using veggies in season the tray will naturally change throughout the year. For extra variation use quinoa, buckwheat (soaked or cooked), sorghum or wild rice instead of naked oats, just to mention a few! And remember; when making of a creamy hummus - always make some extra and you’ll be well sorted for the coming days. A hummus is great to use as spread on a seeds cracker / piece of bread / in a wrap / with vegetable crudités, with any kind of salad or as the base for a hummus bowl (like this one)!

Tray of roasted root veggies with spinach, naked oats and turmeric hummus

4 porions

Ingredients

2 dl / 0.8 cups naked oats

300 g parsnip

300 g carrot

300 g mixed beets

1 handful dried apple

70 g organic baby spinach

1 Tbsp cold pressed rape seed oil

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Golden turmeric hummus

2 Tbsp light tahini (I like to use the non roasted one/light one here as the flavour is more smooth compared with the darker one which has quite a sharp taste to it)

1/2 dl / 0.2 dl water

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 packages (á 230 g drained) pre cooked white butter beans

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

1/2 tsp ground ginger

a pinch of chili powder

1 Tbsp cold pressed rapeseed oil

salt and freshly ground black pepper

For serving

2 dl / 0.8 cups naked oats

a pinch of salt

How to

Cook the oats in lightly salted water on low heat for about 30 minutes. You want them to be soft but still have a nice bite to them. If you cook it for too long you’ll get more of a porridge. Drain any excess water.

Pre heat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius / 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Scrub the root veggies thoroughly, then cut in smaller same size pieces. Put on a baking tray, mix with oil. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the veggies have soften and are slightly golden, but still has that al dente bite to them. Add the cooked oats, apple and spinach to the tray.

Mix the tahini and water for the hummus. Drain and rinse the white beans. Mix all the ingredients with a immersion blender or using a food processor until smooth. Add the oil and mix a few more seconds. Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the food straight from the tray, with the creamy hummus!
