A nudli

For 8 people

Toasted coriander nuts

Ingredients:

100g walnuts

200g water

200g sugar

20 g whole coriander seeds

Cook the walnuts and whole coriander seeds in a 1:1 sugar syrup for two minutes from the boil – the liquid should always be at least twice the weight of the walnuts! Then pour them onto baking paper and bake in a 160 degree oven with fan, stirring thoroughly every six to eight minutes, until golden brown. Before cooling, salt the walnuts generously: when they have reached room temperature, shake off the excess in a strainer.

Turkish honey

Ingredients:

110g sugar

60g honey

4 g baking soda

Make a golden caramel from the sugar and honey, then stir in the baking soda with a wooden spoon until it foams. Cover with baking paper sprinkled with salt flakes and salt the top as well. Handle it carefully while it is hot, it can easily cause burns!

Crusher

Ingredients:

100 g breadcrumbs

100 g panko crumbs or grated dried bread

Chop the breadcrumbs into small pieces with a knife, fry the crumbs until golden brown, then mix the two ingredients.

Ume barack

Ingredients:

200 g dried apricots

40 g only

1 small bunch of fresh thyme

We ferment our own dried apricots in sterilized jars with 20 percent salt and thyme for three months.

Noodles

Ingredients:

1250 g boiled potatoes

300 g gluten-free Miklos' flour (alpha mix)

10 g flaxseed meal

20 g psyllium husk flour

rice flour (for shaping)

butter/oil for frying

Drain the potatoes that have been boiled in salted water and mash them with a potato masher. When they have cooled slightly, add the measured ingredients and mix thoroughly, then cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Using rice flour, form finger-sized noodles, then cook in plenty of boiling salted water for 2 minutes – the amount in the recipe is 3-4 rounds! Drain the finished noodles.
