Summer Squash Salsa

Zucchini-SalsaSome recipes have to be made in big batches as they are favourites. The summer squash salsa from Irmela Erckenbrechts cookbook “Zucchini”  is a such a family favourite.

Roasted cauliflower tarte with caramelized Onions

DSC_1760 A Tart filled with cauliflower and onions sounds not exiting.

There is the sour taste of mustard, sweet from onions, the dark down-to-earth taste of cauliflowers topped with flavour of baked cheese.

I have to admit that it was the mustard that make me curious about this recipe at Smitten Kitchen. Mustard in a Tarte? That sounds good! And it tastes good!
