It is that time of the year when the cold winter days embrace us with cosiness and warmth. What could be better than getting together and enjoying delicious winter delicacies? From savoury stews to warming drinks, winter offers an array of flavours that warm and comfort us. Let’s take a look at some delectable winter recipes with ingredients you can buy in our shops and try later.
Glühwine
A classic during the winter months: mulled wine. This warm, spiced red wine-based drink, warmed up with spices such as cinnamon, cloves and orange peel, is a perfect companion on cold nights. Serve it with slices of orange and a cinnamon stick for that extra festive touch.
Chai Latte
A delicious, spicy Indian tea, frothed with milk and a touch of honey or sugar for sweetness. It is the perfect combination of black tea and a blend of hot spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and cloves.
Hot chocolate with a twist
Take your hot chocolate to the next level by adding marshmallows, a touch of vanilla extract or a dash of peppermint syrup. Top it off with whipped cream and some chocolate chips for an irresistible treat.
Beef stew
A hearty dish perfect for cold winter nights. Slow-cooked beef with vegetables such as carrots, onions and potatoes in a rich, fragrant broth, makes for a filling meal that warms the soul.
Pumpkin soup
Pumpkin soup is a delicious option for winter. Combine roasted pumpkin with broth, spices and a touch of cream for a creamy, velvety soup. Add toasted pumpkin seeds or a dash of pumpkin seed oil for extra flavour.
Stuffed apples from the oven
A simple dessert that celebrates the flavours of winter. Hollow out apples and fill them with a mixture of cinnamon, sugar, sultanas and chopped nuts. Bake them in the oven until soft and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
