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!

This soup is pure comfort because it’s warming and it’s thick and creamy. And it’s a bit spicy, so if anyone who doesn’t like it hot, well I’m sorry that you are missing out on your new favourite soup. Just like me, you will fall in love with this incredible peanut and coconut soup with chicken, vermicelli and veggies. It’s with heaps of fresh herbs and spicy chilis. The pairing of peanuts, coconut milk and hot spices is fantastic and will remind you of your last trip to Bangkok or Bali. The recipe is really simple and will take you about an hour to prepare. Sounds a bit long but absolutely worth it. It’s a wonderful recipe if you have a few chili-proof friends over for dinner. There are a few ingredients you might not have at home but you can find them in any Asia shop. Things like bamboo shoots, vermicelli, unsalted peanuts or even shiitake mushrooms, you will find them all of them there. Or just find them online, like these raw peanuts.

The recipe is perfect if you are on a fructosefree diet, just make sure you use sugar free coconut milk. For all you vegetarian food lovers, just leave out the chicken and add a few more veggies!

Incredible peanut and coconut soup with chicken

Incredible delicious Thai style peanut and coconut soup with chicken, vermicelli noodles, veggies and herbs

  • 70 gram unsalted peanuts
  • 700 ml organic veggie or chicken stock
  • 150 gram vermicelli (rice noodles)
  • 70 gram bamboo shoots

  • 1 bunch coriander
  • 1 bunch thai basil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 fresh lime
  • 1 handful fresh baby spinach
  • 3 tbsp roasted peanuts
  • salt
  1. Start with soaking the shiitake mushrooms in 70 ml warm water. After about 30 minutes, drain mushrooms but keep the water. Cut the mushrooms in slices and cut off the stems because they are too hard. 

  2. Go on with roasting the unsalted peanuts under constant stirring for about 5 minutes. Set aside and let them cool down a bit. 

  3. Peel and chop the ginger into slices. Wash and roughly chop coriander, keep the roots. Wash, pad dry the thai basil and pick the leaves of the stalk. We are now going to prepare the bird’s eye chilis, if you have disposable gloves please wear them. Remove the seeds from bird’s eye chilis and finely chop them. Wash, peel and cut the carrots in slices. Open the bamboo shoots, drain the water and set aside.

  4. Now add the roasted peanuts, coriander roots, ginger, half of the bird’s eye chilis, kaffir lime leaves, coconut milk, soy sauce, salt, juice of 1 lemon and the water from the shiitake mushrooms into a high speed blender and blend about 3 minutes or until smooth. 

  5. Wash, pad dry the chicken breast and cut into 2 cm cubes. 

  6. Heat up your creamy peanut coconut mix in a large saucepan and add the veggie or chicken stock. Bring quickly to a boil and then reduce heat to medium high. Now add the shiitake mushrooms, chicken cubes, carrots and bamboo shoots to soup and simmer for about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt or soy sauce. 

  7. Prepare the vermicelli rice noodles according to package instructions.

  8. Just before you are ready to serve add the baby spinach to soup and stir in. Divide the vermicelli to your soup bowls and add the soup. Top with coriander, thai basil, roasted peanuts and if you like it extra hot with a few slices of chili. Bon Appetit!

I’ve to share with you today this simply delicious pasta in brodo with peas and Speck recipe. It is truly yummy and I’m going to eat it all November! The original recipe idea comes from the traditional Italian recipe Pasta e fagioli. But I wanted something fresh, contemporary and easy to digest. Not to mention, this recipe has it all. A bit of Italian tradition, healthy veggies, creamy ricotta and fresh mint. It’s the dinner dish you have been waiting for all year!As a matter of fact the recipe is really quick and easy, but the flavour is delightful complex. Pasta, bacon, peas, ricotta and mint are a dreamlike food pairing and fit so well together. In brodo is Italian and means in broth but I wouldn’t call it a soup because the main actor is pasta. The broth makes it juicy!

I absolutely love pasta and this round anelli pasta shape is perfect for this souplike dish. If you prefer other pasta shapes make sure you use small ones like fregula, ditalini or orzo.

Try this recipe and I promise you this will be your November favourite too! Share your take on this or any other of my recipes, I would love to see your pics. Tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag.

For those runny noses I have this wonderful recipe for a comforting ginger chicken rice soup. I don’t have any clinical proof but I’m sure ginger helps fight colds or the flu. So this gingery chicken rice soup will undeniably make you feel better. 

Just like the chicken soup your mum used to make but with ginger and nuts! It’s a great recipe for cold, rainy winter days to help warm your heart. It’s quick and easy and also great for using up leftover roast chicken.

I absolutely love raw food. Even as a child I used to eat carpaccio, raw fish and tartare. I really like the classic French steak tartare but I would like to share with you this amazing Vietnamese style steak tartare. Of course it is made with minced beef and egg yolk. But instead of all the classic ingredients I added fish sauce, coriander, sesame oil, ginger and lemon grass. It is such a fantastic combination, I think I even prefer it to the traditional steak tartare. This recipe is of course without shallots because of my fructose malabsorption. If you prefer your beef tartare with shallots then just add 1 – 2 tbsp of chopped shallots. Anyway, I prefer this Vietnamese style beef tartare without shallots because of all the other lovely balanced ingredients. Give it a try, you won’t be missing those onions!Make sure you buy fresh and high quality beef. You can either ask your butcher to mince it for you or mince it yourself. I cut it myself because I like doing it and because the tartare has a nicer texture. Try this lovely recipe next time when your friends are over. It’s a perfect starter or have it as a main course with some french fries.
