Christmas is coming, and the desire to share and pamper your loved ones multiplies. However, we know that many times we don’t have the time or experience to prepare elaborate recipes. That’s why the Teka microwave (an appliance we provide with the purchase of your ideal home at Lumiere Apartments, near C.C. Gran Estación) can be your best ally.

‍

Below, we’ll explore several recipes you can prepare with this amazing appliance to surprise everyone with delicious, easy, and quick dishes—without making a mess in your kitchen.

‍

1. ROAST CHICKEN
Your classic roast chicken will be ready in half an hour if you use your microwave’s grill function. Simply season the chicken with salt and pepper and brush it with oil. Add herbs to taste. Place it in a deep dish to catch the juices.

‍

If your microwave has a convection feature, you can use the oven and grill functions simultaneously or on medium power. Otherwise, cook it on medium-high for 30 minutes, then use the grill function to brown the surface.

‍

2. PORK RIBS
Start with the potatoes. Slice them thinly and cook in the microwave at 800W for about 6 minutes with oil and salt.

‍

Next, cook the ribs. Season carefully so the salt does not fall on the potatoes. Place the ribs in a dish and microwave on grill mode at medium temperature for 20 minutes, checking regularly until cooked.

‍

3. SALMON WITH VEGETABLES
For this recipe, we’ll make papillotes. Cut a baking paper into four pieces. Slice a zucchini, a portion of pumpkin, and a red bell pepper into strips.

‍

Distribute the vegetables across the four paper pieces and place a piece of salmon on each. Add a tablespoon of oil, a bit of oregano, and a pinch of dill. Fold the paper into a packet, leaving some space to prevent it from bursting.

‍

Microwave the papillotes on high for 4 minutes so the ingredients cook in their own juices. To brown the salmon, open the packets and use the grill function until desired.

‍

4. FOR VEGETARIANS: STUFFED EGGPLANTS
This recipe requires a few more kitchen appliances. First, cut the eggplants lengthwise into slices about an inch thick and make a few cuts in the flesh. Brush with a little oil and microwave on high for 10 minutes. Let them rest for a minute.

‍

Meanwhile, prepare the filling: sauté half an onion with a couple of garlic cloves, add 4 tablespoons of tomato sauce, and 500 g of minced meat.

‍

Once the filling is ready, scoop out the eggplant flesh and reserve the skin. Mix the eggplant with the filling and refill the skins. Cover with a bit of cheese and microwave on grill mode for 5 minutes to brown the surface.

‍

5. CREAMY SPINACH CANNELLONI
First, cook the spinach for 20 minutes. Set aside, then melt a tablespoon of butter in the microwave.

‍

Once melted, stir in two tablespoons of flour, add ¼ cup of milk, a pinch of salt, and a vegetable bouillon cube. Microwave for 5 minutes, then combine with the spinach.

‍

Microwave everything again for 10 minutes on high, then season with a bit of pepper and nutmeg. Finally, gratinate slightly using the grill function.
