This bacon wrapped green asparagus tastes delicious. It is easily prepared within 20 to 25 minutes and packed with valuable nutrients like vitamins K, C and A as well as folate, potassium and antioxidants like rutin, ascorbic acid and glutathione.
First, wash the asparagus with cold water and cut or break off the base from the spears to get rid of the stringy parts
Preheat a pan with about 10 gram of your preferred fat for frying to low-medium heat
Meanwhile, make groups of 3 asparagus spears and tightly wrap each of them with bacon. You will need about 3 slices of bacon per asparagus bunch
Fry the wrapped asparagus bunches evenly for a total of about 10-15 minutes, until the bacon is crispy
Finally, put the asparagus on a plate and add the seasonings
Recipe Notes
Do not remove more than one third from the asparagus. If neccessary, just cut off about 1-2 cm from the base and peel the lower third.
Additionally, it is not mandatory to peel the whole asparagus spears. In fact, most of the healthy nutrients are densely packed just below the skin and you probably don't want to get rid of these.
Another tip: To avoid throwing away too much of this healthy food, use the cut or broken off ends for a fond/broth or soup.
These dairy free coconut creamed chicken hearts with peppers are made with only 5 main ingredients plus seasonings. The dish is very easy to prepare, but takes some cooking time in order to get the perfect chicken hearts.
First, fry the chicken hearts with coconut oil in a pan on low heat for about 15 minutes, until they become crispy
Turn the heat up a bit, add the onions and fry until they become crispy, too
Next, add the peppers and also give them 5-10 minutes. The water from the peppers is perfect to dissolve any remainings from the frying, if you scratch the ground from the pan a bit with a non-metal spatula

Spicy Lemon Marinated Pork Chop - With Buttered Vegetables
This spicy lemon marinated pork chop is very easy to cook and tastes delicious. The marinade consists of olive oil, lemon juice, tamari sauce and sichuan pepper among some other spices. Perfect for a barbecue or just frying the meat in a pan.
First, you need to prepare the marinated pork about 12-24 hours before you want to cook it.
Optimally, you do this the previous evening if possible
Put the pork chops into a zip lock bag or a container and add all the ingredients for the marinade.
Massage everything into the meat and store it in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
Always close your zip lock bag or container thoroughly before putting it into the fridge
When this waiting period is over, preheat your pan with some lard or coconut oil in it to medium heat
Finally, fry your pork chops for 5-7 minutes on each side until they get a nice brown color
Buttered Vegetables
Before you put the pork chops into the pan, thaw the vegetables in the microwave or just throw them into a pot with just about 50 milliliter of water
Then, add the butter and seasonings, put the lid on and let it cook for about 15 minutes at low-medium heat while stiring occasionally
Now, the pork chops and vegetables should be both finished and you may pour some of the grease from the pan over the vegetables
Recipe Notes
Never pour raw, leftover marinade over the cooked meat.
If you want to use the leftover marinade, make sure to boil it up to kill all harmful bacteria.
Don't marinate in aluminum containers or foil, because a chemical reaction could spoil the food.
The best way to marinate the meat is using the zip lock bag in order for it to be evenly surrounded by the marinade.
For 500 gram of meat, you need about half a cup of marinade.
