Recipes for the whole family: potato and sesame snacks, wild rice with chicken, mascarpone candy and many more

One more week, like every Thursday, we bring you a new entry for our Recipes section for the whole family with ideas for children to get away from the typical children's menu and get them closer to the more Mediterranean food, the one of a lifetime , when we were little and we were not always battered with potatoes.

They are recipes made by our partners of Direct to the Palate and Vitónica and today we will have magnificent varied recipes.

Starters and first

  • Chicken pate with Porto: How simple it is to make homemade pate and how good they are! So today to encourage you I propose an easy recipe for chicken pate with Oporto that I had seen in a book by Thermomix, so you can start, if you have never done them, with the recipe for a delicious pate.
  • Snacks of mashed potatoes and sesame: My children like mashed potatoes so much that when I do it I prepare a lot. The few times I have a little left over I usually take advantage of this recipe for mashed potato and sesame snacks, which also look great on the table and serve as an aperitif for any casual meal.
  • Easy scrambled egg and tomato recipe: This easy scrambled egg and tomato recipe brings back memories of my childhood. My mother prepared it many times for dinner for my sisters and me. I do not have the habit of doing it, but the other day I remembered her and enjoyed it very much. I am sure that I will not repeat it again.
  • Tamarind sauce: It is likely that many of you have hesitated to read the title of this entry if you do not know what tamarind is or if you have no experience using it in the kitchen. In case you like Asian or Mexican cuisine, where this legume is used more than in peanut-like pods, I wanted to tell you how to make tamarind sauce, with a simple recipe, so now that you can find more facility in supermarkets, you are encouraged to use it.
  • Main dish

  • Wild rice with chicken and mushrooms: It is not always necessary to spend a lot of money to eat well. Good proof of this is today's recipe, a wild rice with chicken and mushrooms that is very economical and at the same time is a delicious recipe, ideal for lunchtime.
  • Potato turbot gratin: Baked fish with potatoes is a classic from my mother's repertoire that I usually copy in my house, although sometimes it is not bad to turn the recipe to prepare it in a special way, as in this turbot gratin with potatoes.
  • Roasted mandarin chicken and honey: Although the breast is the leanest part of the chicken, we can also incorporate other pieces from time to time, especially on some special dates. I love roast chicken because it also brings me good memories, as it was a typical Sunday dish in my house when I was little. This recipe for roasted mandarin chicken and honey tastes fantastic.
  • Veal roast with brandy and tangerine: I recognize that when I'm very vague shot of oven to make food. So if it happens to you like me, roast beef with brandy and tangerines can be a great option for those times when you don't feel like spending many hours stirring and watching a pot.
  • Desserts

  • Cake with cheese, nuts and honey: The cake with cheese, nuts and honey is an absolutely delicious cake to take a winter afternoon. With the taste of nuts, in this case homemade nuts, and the softness of the cream based on cheese inside, nothing better than a good coffee to accompany it and enjoy this seasonal dessert.
  • Bundt cake of burnt yolk nougat: It is an ideal dough to dip in a drink, because it is very dense and does not melt easily despite getting wet. I think this recipe is perfect to give way to nougat, because surely with any other flavor it is equally delicious.
  • Mascarpone candy with Thermomix: with a texture on horseback between a flan and a cheesecake. With the help of the Thermomix it is very easy to prepare, but it can also be done with an electric rod whisk or any other kitchen robot.
  • And that's all for today. Enjoy these recipes very much and take advantage of the croquettes, which are many, very varied, and can offer a dish with many varied ingredients for children.
