Fortunately, there are also quick fall recipes that offer full flavor despite the short preparation time. Our spicy pan-fried noodles are ready in no time and still score with a strong flavor thanks to smoked paprika powder – ideal for warming up the tired body. Best of all, leek vegetables and noodles can be kept in the refrigerator for a long time, so you can buy the ingredients you need in advance and only need to gather everything together quickly when you feel the desire for a hearty fall meal.

After an hour, drain the water, sprinkle the fries evenly with corn starch and mix with olive oil, paprika powder and fleur de sel. Preheat the oven to 250°C top/bottom heat, meanwhile place the fries on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake the fries for about 15 minutes (depending on the thickness).

What makes our quince compote special is its versatility: The delicious fruits, cooked down with exquisite spices, not only taste great with pancakes or waffles, but also on a bun – instead of using jam – and they make a juicy filling for a quince cake.

Squeeze the lemon and add the juice to the compote, then add the gelling sugar. Bring everything to the boil while stirring, then continue to boil for about 3 minutes until bubbling.
