Egg recipes by Mikael Lindqvist As we all know very well, eggs are one of the most versatile ingredients known to man. They can be enjoyed and prepared in many different ways, used in baking, desserts, starters, main courses, in emulsions… The options are endless. At Villa BlauwHemel, we use a lot of eggs. Starting with a perfectly cooked egg for breakfast and ending with a rich dessert after dinner. One maybe less common combination in our part of the world is eggs with curry, which is an amazing combination. Since asparagus are in season, I will share a secret with you: how to make our ‘Asparagus à la Villa BlauwHemel.’ And I have also got a really easy recipe for an indulgent chocolate dessert for you.
Chef Lindqvist’s curry powder INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons of coriander seeds 3 tablespoons of fennel seeds 2 teaspoons of Sichuan pepper 2 teaspoons of whole cumin 2 teaspoons of black peppercorns 2 teaspoons of allspice 2 teaspoons of mustard seeds 1 teaspoon of cloves 1 teaspoon of white peppercorns 1-2 star anise pods This is a milder and sweetly fragrant curry powder that I have developed over the years. This curry powder goes especially well with eggs, vegetables, and fish (also in desserts, such as my chocolate mousse). All ingredients are available at your local oriental supermarket, but you can, of course, substitute it with your own favourite curry powder. Preparation:
1. Roast all of the whole spices in a pan (without oil) on medium heat while stirring with a wooden spoon until the spices start ‘popping’ (making a crackling sound). 2. Remove them instantly from the pan to avoid burning and let them cool completely. 3. Then add the ground spices: 2 tablespoons of ground turmeric 2 tablespoons of sweet paprika powder 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon 0.5 teaspoon of ground cardamom

4. Grind all the spices very finely in a coffee grinder or a mixer. Run the ground spices through a fine sieve to remove any bigger parts.
