The arrival of Spring is a very special moment, when nature awakens to a new life, with vibrant colors and fresh scents.
Nights are getting warmer, days are longer and meals are more relaxed. At this time of year, gastronomy is renewed, with new fresh ingredients and lighter and more colorful dishes. And, of course, there's nothing better than trying new recipes that combine seasonal flavors and ingredients and enjoying a delicious snack accompanied by a refreshing drink with friends and family. It is important to renew our eating habits and adapt them to the season. So we can include seasonal ingredients but also adapt the food to our energy needs.
Here are some suggestions for quick recipes you can prepare over the weekend:
Strawberry and spinach salad
Mix fresh spinach leaves with sliced strawberries, chopped walnuts and feta cheese. Season with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Asparagus and pea risotto
Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil, add arborio rice and stir until translucent. Add vegetable broth little by little, stirring all the time. When the rice is almost cooked, add asparagus and fresh peas. Finish with grated parmesan cheese.
Chicken and vegetable skewers
Cut the chicken breast into cubes and intersperse with pieces of pepper, onion and mushrooms on skewers. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs to taste. Grill or bake until the chicken is cooked through.
Strawberry pie
Prepare a shortcrust pastry and line a tart pan. Top with sliced strawberries and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the strawberries are soft.
These are just a few recipe ideas to celebrate the arrival of Spring. The choice of drink to accompany these dishes is as important as choosing the snacks themselves. The key is to find a drink that complements the taste of snacks and creates a unique and memorable dining experience. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations of drinks and snacks, and have fun discovering new flavors and textures.
