This hot summer weather calls for light and cold dishes. Just like this refreshing honeydew melon and fennel salad with pistachios. It so delicious and will keep you cool in this heat. The pairing of fennel and melon is really amazing. There’s the cold sweetness of the honeydew melon paired with the aroma of fennel. Pistacchios add some crunch and a bit of aleppo pepper adds some a bit of spice. This recipe is really simple and a perfect summer lunch or serve it as a side to your summer bbq. It will definitely wow your dinner guests! Make sure to buy a firm and ripe honeydew melon and a smaller size fennel bulb. I prefer using ready roasted and salted pistachios for some extra salty flavour. As you know from some of my other recipes, I love using Aleppo pepper. Basically Aleppo pepper is dried chili without the pips. I usually buy it on my favourite market here in Hamburg but you can buy it online, here for example!

The recipe is not only perfect for all fructosefree foodies, also if you are on a healthy diet. It’s full of vitamins and minerals and will give you a little health boost in this summer heat.

I would love to see your take on this recipe! Just comment at the bottom of the page or tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag.

If you’re not sure about zucchini this might be the recipe to change your mind. With a little love and a simple trick you might start liking zucchini. The recipe for this roasted zucchini on a creamy bed of ricotta with hazelnuts and mint is pretty simple. It’s a fantastic summer dish! You can prepare the zucchini on your bbq or simply grill it in a pan. Make sure you use small and firm zucchini, if you you are lucky you can use them straight from your garden.

It doesn’t matter if you call them zucchini, courgette or even summer squash, the pairing with ricotta is amazing. Zucchini come in so many shapes, small and big, round or yellow or dark green. The trick is to rub the halved zucchinis with salt and let it draw liquid for about 20 minutes. By the way, this works for cucumber and eggplant too! This way they will lose their bitterness and become simply delicious.

Have you tried this recipe at home? I would love to see your pics or hear about your favourite zucchini recipes. Just tag me on instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag. Love to see your pics!

Roasted zucchini with ricotta

Roasted zucchini on a creamy bed of ricotta with roasted hazelnuts and mint

  • 3-4 small zucchini
  • 1 handful roasted and chopped hazelnuts
  • 1 bunch fresh mint
  • 250 gram ricotta
  • 2 tbsp salt for the zucchini rub
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp rice syrup
  • 1 lemon
  • aleppo pepper (chili flakes)
  • sea salt (Maldon) to serve
  • Bread to serve
  1. Cut the zucchini in halves and rub them with salt. Set them aside and let them water. 

  2. In the meantime mix ricotta with lemon zest and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season to taste with lemon and salt. 

  3. For the dressing mix 2 tbsp olive oil, white wine vinegar, rice syrup and season to taste with aleppo pepper.

  4. When the zucchini are ready, pad them dry with a kitchen paper. Heat up 3 tbsp of olive oil in a pan and arrange zucchini cut side down in the pan. Keep an eye on them and move them around so they are even browning. After about 5 minutes reduce the heat and put a lid on top of them. Let the zucchini cook for about 15 minutes and afterwards let them cool down on a chopping board. 

  5. Wash, pad dry and roughly chop your mint. 

  6. When your zucchini have cooled down spread the ricotta over a serving plate. Arrange marinated zucchini on top, drizzle with remaining zucchini juices and dressing, sprinkle with mint and hazelnuts. Serve with bread! Yummy!

I’m a big fan of pairing meat with juicy fruit. And it gets even better if you add curry. So today I’m sharing with you this amazing pineapple and pork fillet with curry sauce. It’s sweet and spicy and fresh and simply yummy. The pineapple brings sweetness even without adding sugar. Curry and coconut will send you on a little holiday to Sri Lanka and the fresh thai basil sums it up. It’s a perfect recipe for the weekend. Even if you are cooking for a crowd it’s quick and easy to prepare. I used a grill pan for the pork fillet and pineapple slices but I’m definitely going to try the recipe again on my bbq this summer. 

Pineapple and pork fillet with curry sauce

  • 500 gram pork fillet
  • 1/2 fresh pineapple
  • 1 small bunch celery
  • 125 ml coconut milk
  • 2-3 tsp curry powder
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 kaffir lime leaves finely chopped
  • 2 tsp rice syrup
  • 2 cm grated ginger
  • juice of 1 lime
  • salt
  • pepper
  • serve with rice
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 bunch thai basil
  1. Prepare the pork fillet. Clean the pineapple, remove the core and cut lengthwise into slices. Wash and cut the celery into 5 cm sticks. Heat up coconut oil in a pan and cook the pork, pineapple and celery in a char-grill pan over medium heat. Keep on turning occasionally, it will take about 15 minutes until pork is perfect. Take out the pork fillet and let it rest in foil for about 5 minutes. 

  2. For the curry sauce mix coconut milk, curry powder, grated ginger, lime juice, rice syrup and kaffir lime leaves in a high speed blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  3. Cut the pork fillet in slices and arrange it with pineapple slices on a big plate. Sprinkle with thai basil and drizzle curry sauce over it. Serve with delicious jasmine rice!

Have you ever heard of loco moco? Sounds crazy, doesn’t it! Loco moco is a Hawaiian dish and consists of white rice, topped with a hamburger patty, a fried egg and brown gravy. I stumbled over it on pinterest. The original recipe doesn’t look so yummy, so I changed a few ingredients and made a healthy and nice looking version of the traditional Hawaiian dish. My healthy style loco moco will send you on a little holiday to Hawaii. This fresh and healthy style loco moco is with jasmine rice, a spicy burger patty, some fresh green papaya and pineapple salad, of course a fried egg sunny side up and a delicious sesame ginger dressing. All the ingredients go so well together, it will really put a smile on your face. 

This crazy recipe is perfect for casual dinner and you can easily have any leftovers for lunch the next day. If you can’t get green papaya then swap it for cucumber or cabbage and make a nice pineapple slaw. If you want a really, really healthy version of this loco moco the fry your eggs in water instead of oil!

I love Halloumi with all its salty, squeeky deliciousness! It’s not only perfect for your veggie BBQs because it hold its shape on the barbie, it also is a great basis for your summer salads. This incredible fresh Halloumi watermelon salad with sugar snaps, avocado, mint and pine nuts will finally send the boring mozzarella and tomato salad on a holiday.

Originally Halloumi comes from Greece, Cyprus and Middle Eastern regions. It’s usually made from goats and sheep milk and has a very high melting point, so it’s perfect for the grill.

You can either fry the Halloumi in a pan or grill it on the BBQ. The Halloumi cheese is very salty so I like to pair it with watermelon, mint and avocado. This combination is perfectly balance and fresh, just right for a summer night dinner. Eat it as a main course or as a light summer starter.

If you can’t handle a few slices of watermelon because of fructose malabsorption better replace the melon with papaya. I’m usually fine with a bit of watermelon, I just make sure that it is not too sweet.

It’s friday and a wonderful sunny midsummer weekend is ahead of us. So let’s fire up the BBQ and make some space for the best-ever BBQ spare ribs. It will be your new number one spare ribs recipe. Sweet and spicy, tender and crispy, simply the best ribs this summer.  

I prefer precooking the ribs so you don’t have to worry if they are done or not. They are addictive and the marinade is delicious. You can serve them with this amazing Cole Slaw or a simple cucumber, sesame and chili salad. On the other hand, they make a terrific snack to go along with a cold beer.

So, if you do make these yummy spare ribs or any other of my recipes, don’t forget to take a photo of it and tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag. I love seeing your take on my recipes!

Best-ever BBQ spare ribs

Let’s fire up the BBQ and make some space for the best-ever BBQ spare ribs.

  • 3-4 sides spare ribs
  • 3 cm fresh peeled grated ginger
  • 1 hot chili
  • 100 ml ketchup (without added sugar)
  • 50 ml rice syrup
  • 3 tsp Worcester Sauce
  • 3-4 dashes Cholula Hot sauce (or tabasco)
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 4-5 tbsp olive oil
  1. I prefer precooking the spare ribs, so prepare a big pot. Bring water in a big pot to a boil and add the spare ribs. Let them simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Take the ribs out of the water and let them cool off.

  2. Meanwhile prepare the marinade. Mix together ketchup, ginger, chopped chili, rice syrup, Worcester Sauce, Cholula Hot sauce, salt and olive oil. Put 1/3 of the marinade aside and with the rest brush the spare ribs and let them marinade for at least 2 hours. 

  3. Heat up your BBQ and when ready place ribs on the grill. Grill them on medium heat and keep an eye on them. Turn them after a while and keep brushing them with the marinade. As the ribs are precooked it will take about 30 minutes to grill them. 

  4. When ready, take them off the BBQ and let them rest for 5 minutes. Cut them and arrange them nicely on a plate. 

    I serve the ribs usually with some ice cold spicy cucumber salad.

It’s BBQ season and what goes better with delicious steaks from your grill? Yes, Cole Slaw. It’s not a classic cole slaw recipe but it’s full of fresh and beautifully coloured vegetables and tasty herbs and sesame. This recipe is something I adapted from this Yotam Ottolenghi recipe book. I changed a few things because of my Fructose Malabsorbation and added a little Vietnamese touch.

Unlike other Cole Slaws this one is really light and easy-to-make and will be a highlight at your next BBQ.  I’m very fond of pickles lately so this recipe is with quick pickled cabbage, carrots, radishes and roasted sweetcorn. Roast your corn cobb on the BBQ and it get’s that nice smokey taste!

 

Tasty cole slaw with roasted corn and sesame

Tasty cole slaw inspired by Ottolenghi, with quick pickled cabbage, carrots, radishes and roasted sweetcorn. It’s light and easy-to-make and will be a highlight at your next BBQ.

  • 100 ml white wine vinegar
  • 200 ml water
  • 300 gram white or purple cabbage
  • 175 gram carrots
  • 1 corn cob
  • 1 bunch radishes
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 bunch coriander
  • 1 bunch mint
  • 1 red chili
  • 50 gram mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • olive oil for roasting corn and dressing
  • salt pepper
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 lime (juice)
  • 2 tsp rice syrup
  • 1 tbsp roasted black & white sesame seeds
  1. Wash the vegetables gently in cold water. Put the vinegar and water in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tabelspoon of rice syrup. Bring it to boil and then remove from the heat. Cut the cabbage and carrots julienne (stripes) and the radishes into slices. Place the cabbage and carrots together in a bowl, pour over 2/3 of the salty liquid and set aside to soften for 20 minutes. Pour the remaining liquid over the radishes and also set aside for 20 minutes. 

  2. Put some olive oil on your corn cob and place in your preheated cast-iron grill pan or on your bbq. Chargrill for 10-12 minutes, turning so that all sides get some colour. Remove from the heat and let it cool down. Afterwards  shave off the corn in big chunks and add to a large salad bowl.

  3. Rinse the quick pickled vegetables, dry and place them together in your salad bowl. Cut the avocado into slices and also add to your salad bowl. Wash the mint and coriander and chop them roughly. 

  4. Mix all the dressing ingredients: mayonnaise, olive oil, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, lime juice, 1 teaspoon rice syrup, 1 teaspoon mustard and pour over your salad and mix gently. Add the chopped chilli, sesame seeds, coriander and mint, along with some salt and pepper and give it another gentle stir and serve. Bon Appetit!
