How to Cook
Salad
Wash the salad, spinach and chickpeas well. Only use the fine light green and yellow leaves of the frisee salad. Grind all of the dried spices in a mortar. Heat a little bit of olive oil in a pan and roast the spices for a minute. Add fresh lemon juice and some more olive oil. Mix the dressing with the chickpeas, and carefully add to them the salad. Finish off with chopped feta and roasted sesame seeds.
Chicken skewers
Cut the chicken into 2x2 cm cubes and marinate them in Nicolas Vahé Garlic & Chili Salt, olive oil and Nicolas Vahé Spice Mix for Chicken for an hour. Put the chicken onto the skewers and wrap them tightly in kitchen foil. Place in the fridge and marinate for at least one hour (the longer they marinate the more intense the flavour). Grill the skewers on a grill pan or a barbecue. When done, sprinkle with Nicolas Vahé Garlic Olive Oil and freshly chopped parsley.
Juicy Pulled Pork with
a Ketchup Marinade
Ingredients
- 1 kg trimmed pork collar
- 100 g Nicolas Vahé Ketchup Deluxe
- 100 g brown sugar
- 4 tbsp. Nicolas Vahé Mustard
- 3 tbsp. Nicolas Vahé Salt
- 1 onion
- 1 bay leaf
- 1.5 dl apple juice
How to Cook
Preheat the oven to 150 °C. Mix Nicolas Vahé Ketchup, brown sugar, Nicolas Vahé Mustard and Nicolas Vahé Salt in a bowl. Rub the mixture into the pork collar and wrap the meat in plastic film for at least two hours. Chop the onion and place it in the coquette with the bay leaf. Put the excess marinade on the meat before placing it in the oven. Check every hour to see if there is liquid left at the bottom of the coquette - add more liquid if necessary. Turn the oven temperature down to 100 °C after three hours, and leave to roast for another three hours. Now, the meat should be tender enough for you to be able to pull it apart using two forks. Serve this juicy pulled pork together with a delicious homemade coleslaw.
