Best roasted chicken with finger licking good cranberry tangerine glaze á la Underberg

The Rheinberg herbal digestif and Why Underberg is more than a digestif

Underberg is a herbal digestif that only contains water, alcohol, and herbal extracts. Nothing else.

Selected aromatic herbs from 43 countries are essential to Underberg’s all-natural recipe.

The recipe and processing methods have been secrets held and guarded by members of the Underberg family, since 1846. This experience and knowledge regarding how to carefully extract the valuable herbal essences from 43 countries and how to turn them into an aromatic drink has been safeguarded by the SEMPER IDEM secret procedure. This is followed by several-month long maturation periods in casks made of Slovenian oak.

For more information please check out their homepage.

Underberg is a family lead business since 1846

4th and 5th-generation members of the Underberg family carefully select herbs from 43 countries.

But Underberg is much more than a simple bitter or amaro ― Underberg is unique and inimitable. Aaaaand…. its a perfect flavor addition in savory and sweet dishes. The tangy herbal flavors are a great addition for meat or sweet chocolate recipes for example.

Underberg digestif adds a delicious tangy flavor to my cranberry tangerine glaze recipe

Since the most wonderful time of the year started a couple of weeks ago it was crystal clear for me that I wanted to create a special savory recipe with Underberg digestif.

My family is always enjoying one of the Christmas holidays with a delicious roasted turkey or some delicious roasted chickens. Everybody from my brother to my sister and of course my parents are coming over. What makes a roasted turkey or chicken special ? The glaze .

Tangerines and cranberries are my favorite winter fruits and therefore they had to go into my glaze.

The recipe: We start with the chicken.

• Firstly I’m washing and drying the chicken and season the inside with a good amount of salt.
• Im stuffing the inside of the chicken with tangerines halves and sage leaves.
• Then I’m rubbing the butter salt mixture all over the chicken and under the skin of the chicken. We want some crispy buttery chicken right?
• Before the chicken goes into the oven I twine the legs together, place the chicken into a roasting pan /large casserole on a bed of onion rings. Cooking the chicken for 15min at 210°Celsius air circulation .

The glaze.

• First I start with melting the butter over medium heat and cook the minced onion until tender and translucent but without coloring.
• Then I’m adding the Underberg digestif and deglaze everything with it.
• Now Im adding all the remaining ingredients for the glaze and cook everything for about 5-8 minutes.
• My mixture gets blended very finely and strained through a sieve.
• At last Im reducing the liquid to about 250ml (1 cup) and keep the glaze warm until needed.
• The glaze get brushed on the chicken every 15-20 minutes for about 2-3 times.

I’m a huge fan of sticky glazes and everything with counter flavors . The sugar of the maple syrup gets beautifully out balanced by the tangy herbal extracts and flavors of the Underberg digestif.

My mom was so impressed by that glaze that she already recommended my recipe to all her friends. ? You see – It’s good.

I’m presenting you a perfect comfort food recipe for the colder seasons. My apple cider cheese soup with pretzel chips and finished Bad Ischler Salzzart Gourmet Salt flakes is an easy recipe and made under 30 minutes. The soup has a slight sweetness because of the hard apple cider which gets beautifully outbalanced by the 2 savory ripe cheeses. It’s a delicious fall recipe for sure.

Bad Ischler Salzzart – the gourmet salt from our home country Austria

This special salt is not for everyday cooking and seasoning. It’s the perfect touch to finishing any sweet or savory dish and we loved using it to create this fabulous soup. The locally produced gourmet salt has a melt-in your mouth texture and even has an extraordinary look, it’s pyramid-shaped!

Ever wondered how they produce pyramid-shaped salt flakes?

Bad Ischler combined thousand year old technique of salt boiling with todays knowledge and experience to harvest the finest Austrian gourmet salt directly in our Austrian alps. To produce it, only the purest natural brine, from the century old Dürrnberg salt mine in the Austrian alps, is getting heated to boiling temperature. This leads to the production of tiny salt crystals which join together to form pyramid-shaped flakes. Bad Ischler Salzzart gourmet salt is definitely one of a kind.

There are so may ways to use Bad Ischler Salzzart gourmet salt for example to add the finishing touch to a perfectly medium cooked steak or grilled vegetables. We love using it in the morning for avocado toast or chocolate cookies and for so much more!

What is important for that Autumnly Apple cider cheese soup?

Apple Cider

• If you don’t have hard Apple Cider (called Apfelmost in Austria) at hand mix together apple juice and wine – ratio 1:1

The choices of cheese

In Austria we have a large variety of different cheeses. The majority of these cheeses have a very strong flavor with a bite and of course they are smelly ?.

These strong flavored cheeses are the ones you need to get for that comforting soup recipe.

I used a younger cheese with a more smoother but still strong flavor with a softer consistency and an aged cheese with a very distinctive strong flavor and a harder consistency. For Austrian people it was an Erzherzog Johann and a Bergkäse.

For American folks: If you are not very versatile in the world of cheese I would go for a Muenster and a sharp cheddar. If you know your way around in the world of cheese then you already know what to use or what you prefer ?.

Pretzel Chips

I used as an add-in Pretzel slices which I baked in the oven until cross. I just love the slightly malted and sweet flavour. Of course you can use any bread you have at home. ?

It’s a fantastic comforting soup to surprise your family and friends with. Don’t forget to sprinkle the melt in your mouth Bad Ischler gourmet salt flakes over the pretzel chips as a finish. They perfectly enhance the taste of the dish.

Warm hugs Nina & Antonia

This is the best gluten free banana bread recipe you will ever make. It’s only made with healthy ingredients, non dairy and made with Reyhani basmati rice. Topped is this goodness with a yummy peanut butter chocolate swirl. You can make it in your blender and it’s ready for the oven in about 10 minutes.

You already know that Antonia and I like to support local businesses and farmers. And we proudly support Reyhani! Reyhani is a small family business in our hometown Graz and the people there love what they do! Their passion is rice. But its not an ordinary rice! The people at Reyhani focus on organic and fair-trade certified rice which means that their rice is free of harmful substances and pollution and that the people working on the rice fields get the chance to work under positive and humanely conditions and get fairly payed for what they do.

Organic. Fair Trade. Environment friendly.

Reyhani focuses to obtain rice from the best growing areas around the world, where the environment is perfect and non polluted and no conventional harvested rice crops are adjoined.

Did you know that their basmati rice gets the nutty unique flavour because the best growing area for basmati rice is on the Himalaya? I love that Reyhani shows so much passion and love for their products and the people working on these rice fields for them. The wrapping is made of paper and therefore environment friendly. That is what we love about a business. They think about the future and how they can contribute to make this world a better place.

Banana rice Bread.

I know it sounds a little bit crazy but this banana bread is awesome and if you wouldn’t know what ingredients I used you would never guess that it’s gluten free and made with rice.

This recipe was developed after Reyhani wrote us their first email. I loved the idea to invent something with rice. But I knew from the beginning that I didn’t want to do some ordinary bowl which is so popular at the moment. Anybody can do a rice bowl but only experimentalists can set the kitchen on fire and develop awesomeness from scratch 😉 .

Easy and fast that’s the way we do gluten free banana bread.

I’m totally in love with recipes made in a blender and you are lucky this IS one for the blender.

Before I start with the recipe I give my cashews(70g) and 6 dates a hot bath for about 10 minutes.

ThenI blend my beautiful delicious basmati rice(120g) until very fine almost like flour. The finer the better.

After blending the rice I add the :

• soaked cashews and dates
• 2 eggs at room temperature
• 120g coconut yoghurt or any other yoghurt
• ground almond meal (70g)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 very ripe bananas
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch of salt

Blend on high for about 5-7 minutes or until its a very homogenous batter. I add the 2 teaspoons of baking powder and blend for another 10-20 seconds.

Peanut butter chocolate swirl.

For the swirl:

• pour 1/3 of the basmati rice batter in a small bowl and stir it together with 2 teaspoons of creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 50ml almond milk.

Make me ready for the oven.

Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius and prepare a loaf pan with coconut oil and sprinkle it with almond meal. Alternately pour the light batter and chocolate batter into the loaf pan and swirl the batter with a wooden stick or a small thin knife.

Decorate the banana rice bread with 1 banana as you like and sprinkle the top with coconut sugar. Bake this delicious goodness for about 45 minutes or until a wooden tooth pick comes out clean.

After the gluten free banana bread is almost cooled drizzle it with some honey, lean back and enjoy it with your loved ones!

This is one of my families favourite recipes at the moment and I know that you will love it as much as they do!

If you try this banana bread, be sure to leave a comment and rate it below and let me know how you liked it. And of course, don’t forget to snap a photo and tag #twosisterslivinglife on Instagram so we can see your beautiful creations.

Sticky hugs and kisses
