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!

I love Asian food especially the Vietnamese cuisine. Just a few weeks ago I’ve been on holiday in Vietnam (find a little trip summary here). For me, Vietnam definitely has the most interesting cuisine in Asia. Therefore, I ate myself through this amazing country. The way they use fresh herbs and veggies is simply fantastic. One of my favourite dishes in Vietnam must be the Vietnamese green papaya salad. You can imagine how excited I was when I saw a fresh green papaya in the fridge of my Asia shop around the corner. This recipe is my kind of green papaya salad. I’m sure it’s not original Vietnamese but I think it’s pretty close! So next time you are in your Asia shop keep an eye out for green papaya. It’s really delicious and has absolutely nothing to do with the orange coloured ripe papaya. The raw green papaya pulp is firm and almost tasteless. You have to slice it thinly and marinate it with salt so it will get a crispy, mild cucumber flavour.  My recipe of this Vietnamese style green papaya salad is absolutely simple and easy. It’s perfect for all on fructosefree or glutenfree diet. If you prefer vegan then just leave out the prawns and add some fried tofu. The recipe is fantastic for a light dinner or a starter! One of my secret ingredients in this salad is the fish sauce I brought back from our Vietnam holiday. Only to find out later that you can buy it online!

If you are going to try this recipe I would love to see your pics, so share your take on this or any other of my recipes! Tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag.

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!

  • 3 tbsp roasted peanuts

  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!

We travelled the Yucatán Peninsula two years ago and I literally ate myself through southeastern Mexico. The food there was fantastic and totally different to the “Mexican” food we get served in Europe, of course! All the fresh fish, ripe avocados, tortillas and tacos made from corn flour, spicy chilis and a bit of Mezcal made this vacation very special. One of my favourite food discoveries on this journey was definitely this yummy ceviche.Ceviche is originally from Peru but is very common in all Latin American coastal countries. It’s so simple but so complex in taste. Basically it’s the best and freshest fish and prawns you can get, loads of lime juice, salt, spicy chili, coriander and various veggies. I usually add some sweet potato puree because I love the pairing of this sweet and creamy texture and crispy spicy ceviche. Ceviche is very similar to the Italian Crudo, Japanese Sashimi or the Hawaiian Poké. If you like these dishes you are going to love ceviche! It’s also perfect if you are on a fructosefree diet because my recipe is completely without onions or garlic. And if your body can’t handle tomatoes or green peppers just leave out or add the veggies you can eat easily!

Try this recipe and it will send you on a mini-break to Mexico! 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.

I am so excited to share this recipe with you! I’ve seen Turkish eggs around the internet for quite a while but for me combining eggs and yoghurt didn’t go. So, it took about a year to finally get my head around it and try it. It’s a true eyeopener. Seriously, this recipe for Aleppo pepper poached eggs is superb and will WOOOOOW your friends and family. First of all, what is Aleppo pepper? Basically it’s dried chili flakes without the seeds, so it’s spicy but not too hot. It’s used a lot in the Eastern Cuisine and more and more enters our western kitchens. As you know I live in Hamburg and we have this wonderful farmers market called Isemarkt. It’s such a beautiful market, you can get everything from fruit and veggies, to fish, meat and flowers. And it has a really good spice market stand!

The recipe is simple and won’t take more than 15 minutes to prepare. Greek yoghurt, butter, Aleppo pepper, eggs, lime, a bunch of herbs and green peppers, that’s it. Once you tried it, you won’t need a recipe anymore! But remember to tell your breakfast guests where you got the recipe from!

Brilliant Aleppo pepper poached eggs

Greek yoghurt, butter, Aleppo pepper, eggs, lime, a bunch of herbs and green peppers, that’s it, delicious!

  • 4 free range eggs
  • 200 ml plain greek yoghurt
  • 40 gram butter
  • 1 tbsp Aleppo pepper
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 1 bunch dill
  • 1 bunch coriander
  • juice of 0,5 lime
  • salt
  • white wine vinegar for poaching eggs
  1. Melt the butter in a medium size pan and stir in the Aleppo pepper. Let it come to a boil and then remove from heat. 

  2. Wash, pad dry and roughly chop the herbs. Mix them in a small bowl with juice of half a lime. 

  3. Now prepare the poached eggs. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 2 tsp of salt and 2 tbsp white wine vinegar. Crack eggs individually into a ramekin or cup.

Broccoli is something you don’t eat for fun! It’s usually the good will dish with our steak or sunday roast. This recipe will change your feelings about broccoli forever! This raw broccoli tabouleh with spicy chicken and tahini yoghurt will make you fall in love with broccoli. It’s so different to the odd cooked veggie side dish. Basically it’s a classic tabouleh with raw shredded broccoli, loads of herbs, cucumber, tomato and salty nuts. Topped of with chicken kebabs marinated in sambal oelek and an amazing yoghurt tahini dip. The recipe is quick and easy, so it’s the perfect weeknight dinner recipe. The great thing, any leftovers make a wonderful lunch to take to the office the next day. So start your highspeed blender and shred the broccoli.

Instead of chicken kebabs you could also serve this raw broccoli tabouleh with spicy marinated halloumi. I would love to see your pics or feedback about this brilliant raw broccoli salad with chicken and tahini yoghurt or any other of my recipes!
