Easy recipes with 5 ingredients or less

Makkelijke recepten met 5 ingrediënten of minder

Have you ever stood in the kitchen, overwhelmed by the list of ingredients laid out on the counter? You might have wondered, "How am I ever going to whip up a flavorful meal with all these ingredients?" You're not alone. With our busy lives, it sometimes feels like there simply isn't enough time to prepare an elaborate meal. But what if I told you you could create a delicious dish with just five ingredients or less?

We know that preparing food can sometimes be a challenge. Especially on those days when things aren't going your way and you're running low on energy. But it doesn't always have to be difficult to put something delicious on the table. On the contrary, cooking can be simple yet surprisingly delicious. Especially if you limit the number of ingredients. This not only helps keep the meal simpler but also allows the flavors to truly shine.

The art of simplicity

Sometimes less really is more. We all know the feeling: craving a fantastic dish, but the cupboards seem empty almost too often. Turns out, you don't need much at all. Cooking with fewer ingredients also challenges you to be creative and maximize the flavors. Plus, fewer ingredients also means less washing up. That's a win-win, right?

With our hectic daily lives, it's nice when cooking can become enjoyable and relaxing again. Five-ingredient dishes allow you to focus on what matters most: the pure, delicious flavors of each ingredient.

Taste the simplicity

Let's start with a few examples that will not only inspire you, but also make your taste buds rejoice.

Simple tomato sauce

Forget those jars of pre-made sauce. You can make a delicious tomato sauce yourself with just a few ingredients: ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, basil, and a pinch of sea salt. Let the tomatoes release their natural sweetness by simmering them gently. The result? A sauce that tastes fresh and creamy without needing much.

Potato-rosemary frittata

Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, a frittata is always a winner. All you need is eggs, potatoes, rosemary, olive oil, and a little Parmesan cheese. Slowly roast the potato slices in a pan, add the eggs and rosemary, and let it cook slowly. As the cheese melts and the rosemary releases its fragrance, you get a dish that's both simple and flavorful.

Grilled chicken with lemon and honey

With chicken breasts, lemon, honey, thyme, and butter, you can make this delicious meal. Simply marinate the chicken in a mixture of lemon juice, honey, and thyme. Then, bake the breasts until golden brown and juicy. The sweetness of the honey and the freshness of the lemon make an irresistible combination.

Bon appétit!
