    Zucchini Tart

    by The Urban Apron

    I decided to mix the art of tart with quiche. I am not fond of thick quiches but love puff pastries so why not having it thin like a tart? Here is a super fast recipe where you can use a ready made pastry sheet and you can accompany it with a salad on a lazy day! Ingredients: 1 Puff pastry sheet 2 zucchinis 1 cup...

  • Banana Bread

    by The Urban Apron

    My new breakfast favorite! The Banana Bread is a good substitute to toast for breakfasts and handy snack with your afternoon tea/coffee. My dairy and sugar free recipe is made of easy-to-find ingredients (Okay, probably not the almond milk which could easily be replaced by coconut milk). Ingredients: 2 Eggs ¼ cup Almond Milk (or Coconut Milk) 1 ¾ cup Whole Wheat Flour ½ cup Honey 1/3 cup Olive Oil...

Saffron Seafood Risotto

by The Urban Apron

Rice speaks several languages. It is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the world, most probably for half of the people on Earth. Each culture has a rice dish that is similar to one from another culture. In my hometown, rice accompanies all the stews (meat or vegetables) and sometimes it’s the star of the main course when it’s all spiced up or used as a filling. I started appreciating rice dishes during my adulthood, especially when I left my hometown and I explored all the flavors from across the world. I know for a fact that there are more than 20 traditional rice dishes around the world and today I am sharing my recipe of risotto, which is a popular Italian rice dish that is cooked slowly and needs a lot of attention. It is cooked slowly in order to maintain the starch at the end of cooking that binds the grains and makes the dish creamy. However my ingredients and spices are inspired from the Paella (the famous Spanish rice...
