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!

When I was a child I didn’t like beetroot at all. With its earthy flavour and rich colour it was too healthy for my taste at that age. So here we are, about 30 years later and I really love beetroot. From beetroot risotto, to beetroot spread, pink beet dumplings or even as a smoothie, I really love it! There are so many beet recipes but these homemade beet ravioli with orange butter and mint, is one of my favourites. Because the pairing of beetroot, orange and mint is simply amazing!Most noteworthy I really enjoy making pasta at home. It’s so satisfying to prepare and knead pasta dough. Of course making fresh pasta by hand is always a bit of a process – but such a treat to eat – so I love making this recipe for special occasions from Christmas to a birthday to a special Sunday family meal.As I mentioned preparing the pasta dough takes a bit of time but the filling is pretty simple. Basically it’s beetroot, parmesan and ricotta topped with orange zest, orange butter and mint. Not to forget, a bit of parmesan.

What is your favourite beetroot recipe? Please share your feedback and pics of your beet recipes with us. Tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag. Love to see your pics!

Homemade beet ravioli with Orange butter

Homemade beet ravioli with orange butter, orange zest and mint

pasta dough

  • 300 gram plain flour
  • 42 fresh free range eggs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 50 ml water
  • 1 pinch salt

filling & topping

  • 2 medium beets (cooked and cut in 1 cm cubes)
  • 150 gram fresh ricotta
  • 30 gram fresh grated parmesan and some extra for serving
  • 1 small bunch parsley
  • 1 small bunch mint
  • 2-3 small twigs thyme
  • salt
  • pepper
  • zest of 1 orange
  • semolina for preparing the ravioli
  • 50 gram butter
  • 1 fresh free range egg for assembling the ravioli
  1. Sift the flour onto your work surface and make a well in the center, to drop the eggs and the water into the well. Use a fork and gently mix the eggs and then incorporate the flour from around the inside of the well. With the help of a scraper mix the ingredients. After a while the dough becomes thicker and you can start kneading it properly. Continue until you have a smooth, compact dough. Rub the outside or your dough with olive oil and knead it in. Cover the dough in cling film and set aside, for at least 15 minutes (up to 6 hours).

  2. For the filling: First set aside 2 tbsp of beet cubes for decoration. Mix the rest of the beets, ricotta, cheese, parsley, thyme, and salt and pepper (to taste) in a high speed blender until smooth. 

  3. Roll out the pasta dough with a pasta machine and put a tablespoon of filling on the lower side of the dough, about 4 cm apart from each filling. Mix the egg and with a brush, brush around the filling. Fold over the upper side of the dough and press down the dough around the filling. Use a pasta cutter to stamp them out or pasta roller, making sure that each one is sealed well. Let them rest on a plate covered with semolina until you’ve made the whole batch.

  4. Bring a pot of salted water to boil and put the ravioli gently into the pot. The pasta should float when cooked. Gently scoop them out with a slotted spoon and drain with some cold water.

  5. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan on gentle heat and and add orange zest (keep a bit for decoration). Keep an eye onto the butter, don’t let it get brown! 

  6. Now carefully lay the ravioli into the orange butter and cover with melted butter. Place them on your plates and add a few beet cubes, drizzle with orange zest, parmesan and not to forget fresh chopped mint. Bon Appetit!
