Vegetarian hunter's sauce
- 115 g celery stalks
- 50 g carrots
- 160 g onions
- Mushrooms, as desired
- 1 heaped tablespoon tomato purée

- 950 g water
- 200 ml cream
- Approx. 130 g red wine

Finely slice the onions, carrots and celery using the Ritter universal slicer. Slice the mushrooms into slightly thicker slices using the universal slicer.
Then place the onions in a pan with 25 g hot olive oil. Fry for approx. 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the celery and carrots and fry again. Next, add the tomato purée and fry briefly until it is slightly browned. Then deglaze with red wine and simmer briefly.

Now heat some oil in a pan. Add the mushrooms and brown them a little. Add the Worcestershire sauce and fry until all the liquid has evaporated (stir occasionally so that the mushrooms do not burn).

- 1 tsp mustard
- 1/2 tsp paprika powder
- 1 tsp thyme
- Salt & pepper
- Chilli flakes (to taste)
It's so easy to conjure up a creamy, spicy and vegan dip from this orange autumn vegetable:

Vegetable dip
- 150 g aubergine, diced
- 1 small clove of garlic, very roughly chopped
- 45 g onion
- 1 tsp onion, raw, chopped
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 3 level tsp mustard
- 1 heaped tsp lemon zest, grated
- 320 g peas
- 1/2 level teaspoon chia seeds
- 10 ml lemon juice
- 75 g butter, melted
- 40 ml water
- 1 level teaspoon chives, fresh
- Cayenne pepper, plenty Salt
- Optional: 5 g fresh coriander
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (top/bottom heat). Then dice the aubergine, roughly chop the garlic and finely chop the onion. Place everything on a baking tray lined with baking paper (do not stack).
Now pour 45 g olive oil over the vegetables, season with salt and massage everything in well. Bake the vegetables at 180 °C (bottom/top heat) until they are nice and soft. Do not bake for too long, otherwise the garlic will lose its flavour.
While the vegetables are baking in the oven, cook the peas in lightly salted water until they are soft. When they are done, drain well. Now place all the ingredients except the chia seeds and raw onions in a large bowl and purée to a medium-fine consistency using the ritter hand blender. Then fold in the chia seeds and raw onions and season again with salt and plenty of cayenne pepper.
Tip: A generous amount of cayenne pepper ensures the right flavour.

Pea & Mint Dip + Crostini
For the dip
- 250 g peas (frozen, defrosted or briefly blanched)
- 1 handful fresh mint (leaves)
- 1–2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove (optional)
- Salt, pepper
- Optional for extra creaminess: 2–3 tbsp yoghurt or 1–2 tbsp cream cheese
For the crostini
- 1 baguette or ciabatta
- Olive oil
- Optional: salt flakes
Prepare the peas: Briefly blanch the frozen peas in boiling water for 2–3 minutes, drain and rinse under cold water. (This keeps the colour beautifully vibrant.)
Blend the dip (hand blender): Place the peas, mint, lemon juice, olive oil (+ optional garlic & yoghurt/cream cheese) into a tall container. Blend with your ritter hand blender until the dip is perfectly smooth and creamy. Season with salt & pepper. If the dip is too thick, add 1–2 tbsp water or a little more olive oil and blend briefly again.
Slice the crostini (food slicer): Use your ritter food slicer to cut perfectly even slices (thin for extra crunch, a little thicker for more bite).
Toast: Toast the bread in the ritter toaster until golden brown.
Serve: Transfer the dip to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, add a grind of pepper (and optional salt flakes). Serve with the crostini – done.
