We went in search of family-friendly recipes and thanks to our community and the Fritz+Fränzi team, we came up with some delicious and simple menu ideas.
Who doesn't know it? Lunch or dinner should be healthy, enjoyable to eat and quick to prepare - and no, we're not talking about putting the familiar egg-laying wool-milk sow in the oven.
Every family has a few simple, healthy and favourite recipes that they eat regularly. We have collected and shared them here - e Guete!
Everyday dishes from our community:
Älpler (or something like that) macaroni «Älpler macaroni is always a favourite with us. I make it without onions and bacon, but with finely chopped carrots. You can add cheese and apple sauce if you like - everyone is happy! And it's really easy to cook: I throw everything into a pot. As soon as the potatoes are cooked, I drain the water, add some single cream and cheese and that's it.» (Florina from the editorial team, picture: zVg)
«Knotschis»«The second go-to dish for us is gnocchi. To be honest, it's usually the ready-made ones from Migros, but rarely homemade, which isn't that complicated either (Nadja Zimmermann from Loumalou has a good recipe). I vary the sauce, usually adding vegetables in the form of finely chopped courgettes or carrots with tomato sauce. My insider tip for this is the Easy Pull vegetable chopper from Zyliss, which chops the vegetables so small that they practically pass as confetti.» (Florina from the editorial team, picture: zVg)
<img alt="Hamburger-Muffins von «Kids am Tisch»«Unser Lieblingshit für die ganze Familie sind die Hamburger-Muffins von . Ich mache den Teig aus Dinkel(vollkorn)mehl und manchmal verwende ich statt Kohlrabi auch Randen (beides ist super). Den Schmelzkäse wechsle ich entweder mit Peynir aus oder gebe einen Klecks Crème fraîche oben drauf.» (Romi via Facebook, Bild: zVg)" src="https://www.fritzundfraenzi.ch/uploads/2021/08/1186950d25f45216d1a2ddecaa35eb92.jpeg" />
Hamburger muffins from «Kids am Tisch»«Our favourite hit for the whole family are the hamburger muffins from . I make the dough from spelt (wholemeal) flour and sometimes I use beetroot instead of kohlrabi (both are great). I either replace the processed cheese with Peynir or add a dollop of crème fraîche on top.» (Romi via Facebook, picture: zVg)
Spinach omelette «This menu also has addictive potential for the whole family. And for the notorious vegetable refusers, I simply work two large spoonfuls of the vegetables directly into the batter at the end - so it's eaten without any problems.» (Romi via Facebook, photo: zVg)
Spaghetti Bolognese à la (my) mum «It always smells so good at your place, a friend once said to me as she stood in the hallway of my parents' house. One of my favourites is spaghetti Bolognese, the secret: chop the vegetables into small pieces and fry briefly but vigorously, move to the edge of the pan and fry the mince in the middle of the pan, deglaze everything with red wine. Add a little (!) stock and simmer over a low heat with the bay leaf for 15 - 20 minutes. Finally, add the tomato purée to the pan and season with salt and pepper to taste.» (Evelin from the editorial team, symbol image: Pexels)
Poké Bowls as a buffet «We set up the Poké Bowls as a buffet. The children love it because they can put everything together themselves. And they all love the mix of fruit, vegetables and fish. We use jasmine rice, sushi salmon, mango, edamame and sesame seeds. And it's pleasing to the eye too, it always looks colourful.» (Judith via Facebook, symbol image: Pexels)
Toast Hawaii with raclette cheese «A classic. The pineapple gives my children a holiday feeling (they also love Hawaiian pizza). Instead of normal processed cheese, I use raclette cheese, which is more flavourful and in combination with the pineapple, the toast tastes twice as good and is filling. If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can put a tomato on the toast instead of ham.» (Silvia via Facebook, picture: zVg)
Baked vegetable soup "The recipe isn't that easy, but I'm happy to have all the vegetables my children like to eat, so I'm happy to put in the little extra effort. And the meal is fun for us adults too, the way you first dig off the puff pastry cap to reveal the steaming soup underneath! We usually make a vegetable soup from carrots with one or two potatoes and puree the whole thing with the addition of a little stock ...(Florina from the editorial team, picture: zVg)
<img alt="... Für den Deckel drückt man die Tasse oder Schüssel sanft auf den ausgewallten Blätterteig und schneidet die Umrisse mit einer Zugabe von rund drei Zentimetern aus. Die Ränder mit Eiweiss einstreichen. Dann die Suppe in die Tasse einfüllen und den Deckel wiederum sanft drüberlegen und andrücken. Mit Eigelb anstreichen und bei 180 Grad in den Umluftofen, bis die Decke goldbraun (oder , wie meine Kinder sagen), in die Höhe gestiegen ist. Achtung: Sehr heiss!»(Florina aus der Redaktion, Bild: zVg) « src="https://www.fritzundfraenzi.ch/uploads/2021/08/9ccc6f2d5f703a9c5c8a125487889af4.jpeg» />
... To make the lid, press the cup or bowl gently onto the rolled-out puff pastry and cut out the outline with an allowance of around three centimetres. Brush the edges with egg white. Then pour the soup into the cup and gently place the lid over it again and press down. Brush with egg yolk and bake in a fan oven at 180 degrees until the top is golden brown (or, as my children say). Warning: very hot!" (Florina from the editorial team, picture: zVg)
Lentil pancakes with creamed carrots «I first rinse the lentils in cold water and then boil them in salted water for five to ten minutes. I then drain them in a sieve and leave them to cool. Then: beat two eggs, season and fry the mixture in batches on both sides in a pan for about four minutes. Cut the carrots into rings, cook in a little stock and season with cream at the end. Very tasty and an evergreen in our kitchen.» (Manuela via Instagram, image: zVg)
Oven-steamed rice «It's quick to prepare, healthy and delicious. The base is rice, grated carrots, cranberries, a little grated ginger and vegetable stock. Today I added frozen snow peas and primeli from the garden.» (Tanja via Instagram, image: zVg)
As a child,Hanna Lauer loved semolina porridge with cocoa powder and raspberry syrup. The highlight: when the edge of the plate was scooped free, there was a ring of raspberry syrup that decorated the porridge all round.
